Hi all

OCUK Titan X arriving today!

Does any one know where I can get a backplate for it? I take it that only EVGA do them. I've seen them on ebay for around £50! EVGA are out of stock and I don't know if they even deliver to the UK, I've asked them but not had a reply yet.

Would just like to complete the look

Got mine from the Evga store, it was about £40 for 2 with shipping. Took less than a week

Would be good if they made non branded TX backplates

Custom made backplate, Although I'd be wary of it getting a little too warm as it's plastic -

Getting a new Rig later this year from my old 2004 system. I’d really like one of these but it may be over kill in only 1080P Asus screen. I see the price is slowly falling away. Mind it would have to half in price to temps me.

Prices aren't really falling, It's on a "This Week Only" deal and goes back to it's normal price next week.

I doubt prices will go down properly for a while yet.

They'll never hit £400 new, they'll be EOL long before then.

Hi all

Got the titan x in and running, couple of things, it's bumped my cpu temp up even on idle. Gone up by 5 degrees. Had a 680 before and my 2500k would idle at 29 degrees at 4.5ghz after installing the titan it's now 35. Does anybody get a buzz coming off theirs when gaming. The buzz gets louder depending on how intense the graphics get. Sounds like a plasma buzz. I have a fractal r4 case and the noise is louder than any of the fans?

Okay so I listed to a couple of You tube vids and it's defo coil whine. It's very noticeable through my sound proofed case.

Any one else have bad coil whine? Not sure whether to buy a new PSU, as that sorted it for a fair few people. I've an Antec 650, but it's 3 to 4 years old now.

Yeah it’s not really the exact card I’m thinking, its more some of the tech washing down to a cheaper level. God knows the naming convention but thinking some of this Spec will move down to mid range cards once the newest must have hits the market with its new more powerful everything flagship. I see both GPU Vendors are keeping quiet on new tech. The minutes the new flagship gets announced while the current cards may not get cheaper they are in fact lass desirable not being top dog any more.

Bloody 980's dont seem to budge at any rate.

and I'd not get anything lower now. Although this GeForce GTX 980 Ti (6GB) would do me just fine on the one screen with maybe Rift later.

Titan X is behaving more like a Titan X in Witcher 3 now since latest patch. Feeling a bit more confident in this card now.

Hardly any FPS increase for me since the patch!?

Oh Kaap I forgot to say the 4790K is running at 4.80GHZ

Thanks.

It's definitely nicer for me since 1.03. Not just looks but less drops as well. Getting the magic 60fps @ 1080P.

My settings:

Everything at max, all sliders to the right on Post and Graphics settings + Hairworks on.

VincentHanna · 22 May 2015 at 11:51

After 1.03 AA on caused stutter for me at 4k so I turned if off.

Other than that, I've got everything at max, all sliders to the right on Post and Graphics settings.

Hairworks off (not tried it since the update)

Locked 60fps @ 2160p with Titan X SLI

EVGA bringing out their ACX 2.0 for Titan X probably costing in the area of £50. -

I think the AIO is a better option, hopefully they come Titan X branded.

Ayahuasca · 22 May 2015 at 12:53

I'm still waiting for the TX branded AIO from them, heard it was coming before the end of this month.

Dicehunter · 22 May 2015 at 13:21

EVGA's ACX 2.0+ Cooler is coming to the Titan X soon

Dice coldzero will do any type of backplate you want mmate.

Yeah I've actually gotten quite a few from him before originally for my 680, 780 and 780 Ti.

Just wasn't sure about the heat output from the PCB and memory that a plastic backplate would be safe :confused:

Quartz · 22 May 2015 at 15:57

I'm actually glad there's no backplate on my TX: there's only a couple of mm between the TX and my Nofan as is!
