ah, actually that makes sense because everytime I hit a scene change that card de-clocks and re-boosts itself... locking it at full boost regardless of what is going on in a scene should cut down on any fps dips from the card messing about with itself

will try that tonight

I look forward to your results Andy and if you could do valley again at your bestest OC, I would appreciate that.

I need to know if it is worth going WC, as I am quite happy with the noise.

If the noise doesn't bother you and your cards can overclock well I wouldn't bother bud. My card was ok until pushed hard but I prefer silence. I didn't like that my card was 80c overclocked aswell. It sits at 35c now..

I ran both of my cards seperately last night with the door open and ran Valley with the TDP @ 106% but neither card would reach 96%. I could keep temps under 50c and it would throttle down from ~1150 to ~1027 iirc.

Early drivers, so I won't be kicking off yet and I am sure they will have it sorted. It is just a little frustrating that it throttles without any reason.

Its not your cards, I get the same problems with the 690s the drivers are not good. When you see 690s doing the valley bench and only hitting mid 50s you know they are not working that hard.

This is the reason I never w/cooled my 690s, they outperformed all the watercooled ones on 3dmark11.

With mature drivers will titan be neck and neck with gtx 690? I hope so

Gregster · 5 Mar 2013 at 16:05

Well if I don't get waterblocks, I will probably treat myself to a new keyboard. Love the look of this Razer Death Stalker Ultimate

Keys look a bit meh but I do love a gimmick

I am waiting for a parcel, unfortunately I have to go to work in a bit.

OCPete · 5 Mar 2013 at 17:15

Looks like stock levels are picking up.

I'm out till <£750 tho! Ready for a long wait...

I just checked the prices. :eek:

Fortunately I don't think they will stay there long.

The prices are now comically high. You could save the money and buy a PS4 and an Xbox 720 and probably still have change. And they would last you the good part of a decade

Hope it turns up mate, you've had a long wait !

Gregster · 5 Mar 2013 at 17:55

Prices here are very esculated

Maybe because they have stock, they are selling as well?

Hope you get them soon KaaP, nothing worse than waiting for goodies

I guess that oxidising can't be avoided?

Cmon Titan owners...Pics, Pics, PIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yep, bloody copper. Well, I guess if I buffed it off and treated them somehow.. but cba.

No pics from me, Titan isn't a good buy imo, and I've just built a new pc for folding and converted my rv02 to internal water anyway £££

3077 without k-boost, 3097 with k-boost

Gregster · 5 Mar 2013 at 21:06

Cheers for that. I was expecting a little higher being under water but I am sure it will be higher once maturer drivers are out and it can boost to 106% (if yours doen't that is)

MOOGLEYS · 5 Mar 2013 at 21:42

I have a Titan hopefully arriving tomorrow. No planned visitors so this one might even make it into my Pc.

It's eventually going in a Prodigy build so will be quite a fun build, But I think I will have a good play with it first and see how it stacks up against my old reliable 7970 and my hyper clocking randomly crashing 680.

They have turned up just as I was walking out the door to go to work. Hopefully I can get them running tomorrow. Three cards on the Heaven benches should be interesting.

I have a Corsair K90 Gregster - I love it

first waterblock is on and tested - managed 1175 stable (no downclocking) but where as on the aircooler it would let me set and get 1.2v, with the waterblock on it's only letting me get 1.182v... which is odd... if I could get the full 1.2 I think it would do 1200ish

Where did you get the water block? I've not seen them anywhere?
I've preordered mine. Could we have some pictures please?
