Good find Kaap. I had noticed something was fishy (assuming it was just me) with pushing another 8Mhz here and there and still getting the same results. Good spot :)

The cards are using the standard bios so it gives you an idea of what to expect when you fit waterblocks.

To do the whole 3dmark11 bench I would use something like +174, any higher and things become unstable on 4 cards.
 
+160 ish has been the highest I can achieve. I expect a little higher under water but it would have been better to do this in the winter. A chiller one day perhaps...

I spoke with Tones about condensation and he will be using Air Conditioning. What will you be using? I have seen some setups with foam around the pipes and that would have to be the way I go.

Nothing so elaborate

The best I will be able to do is the windows open in the middle of the night.:D

I don't think I will use the chiller much below room temps because of condensation and I don't want to get into insulating the pipework. The output from the chiller will go straight to the CPU first to try and get some extra speed out of it, the GPUs are more than fast enough already for the CPU (it's the bottleneck in the system).

I will probably aim to run the chiller at about 15c in the middle of the night for benching.
 
You can knock it down to its lowest for benching and just keep the side off with a tea towel at hand for some super cold benching I imagine.
 
Any Titan user tried the new WHQL drivers (320.18s) yet? They have some rather nice performance increases for midrange cards over the previous WHQL, so the titan may also have something to benefit from them.
 
Been out of the loop for a couple of weeks, suspect it's been disused elsewhere but little surprised the GTX 780 released essentially as a Titan with 3GB less memory !, Don't think I saw that one coming.
 
Bit annoyed to see a lot of the 780s clocking a lot higher than either of my Titans. I thought the binning process would have stopped something like that happening?

They should clock a little bit higher, with one less SMX than a Titan the GTX 780 will produce less heat and enable a slightly better overclock.
 
Less memory too allows higher clocks. That doesn't mean it's faster though, the clock may be faster but if your true titan was at that clock it would be 10% or so faster. :)
 
Can any titan or 780 sli user who owns serious sam 3 load it up and have a quick go please? I want to know what your gpu usage is like, plus if it tears or not? Mines a right mess on it. Runs at around 75fps, like its got some weird limiter on it, with both gpus sat at around 40% and not even in 3d clocks most of the time. Power management is set to performance, using lastest whql drivers (320.18s). Really weird issue.

Didn't sit at full clocks (they were around 900mhz) but I was getting around 250-300fps & tearing wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Titan sli with 320.18

How strange. Wonder why my SLI isn't working with it then :S Its a right mess on it.
 
I have noticed something that comes up in the reviews of the GTX 780 a lot. The reviewers keep saying that the GTX 780 has one less SMX than a Titan, this seems to be incorrect if you do the numbers. If each SMX has 192 shader units then according to the specs and GPUz a GTX 780 has 12 SMXs (12 x 192 = 2304) and the Titan has 14 SMXs (14 x 192 = 2688).

Yes I know it not the most exciting of things to post about lol.:D:p
