Geforce Titan rumours.

Heaven was the killer (I do love benching). I could bench 3DMark Fire Strike with +1000 on the memory (max the slider would go to), with no problems but if I tried that on heaven, it would soon start to warm up and artifact (I never liked to see a disco, so stopped it). With no cooling on the underside memory, I can see this warming up very quickly.

I don't really see how it warmed up connected to a full block running at 45c.
The memory is also error correcting so should not really artefact badly just not show gains when you over do it.

+1000 on the memory sounds way over the top to me :eek:

There's going to be a mad rush when ocuk finally start taking orders. I wonder how many titan's they will get, any predictions?

If I had a chiller, I could maintain that +1000 for the whole of the Heaven bench (at a guess) but for some reason, the most I could get out of the memory in Heaven was +800~ Temps were always good, so not sure on the artifacting. You have to remember that 3DMark is very short and everyone can get higher clocks than what they can with Heaven.

3004 is the default memory clock and as you can see, I hit 4004Mhz (+1000)

Hardly, mine can do around +600 on air. My case cooling isn't great either.

I don't know a huge amount about memory but I have a feeling that when you run Heaven on a Titan overclocking the memory will not be so important. I think the 384 bit bus will make a huge difference and reduce the need for ocing.

I noticed using one gtx 690 on the Heaven 3 bench was not a problem - I could hit max fps of about 370. When I used 2 gtx 690s the max fps was only 375. This I think was caused by the 256 bit mem bus, when running quad sli the mem bus on each GPU has to deal with all the extra fps produced by all 4 GPUs - massive info overload. The only way to get the max fps up was to oc the mem as much as possible, overclocking the GPUs made no difference.

The 6 series compared to AMD have a poor track record on Heaven 3, this is due in part to the low settings used which resulted in very high fps. Once the settings get maxed the fps come down giving the mem/bus less work to do and suddenly the 6 series became more competative.

The Titan should have none of the above problems.

Makes perfect sense :) That memory bus was a bad idea on the 680/90/70.

Sooooooo peeps, 2pm for benchmarks tomorrow?
