Who is going to get a Pascal Titan X ?

On water all 4 of my FXs overvolted and overclocked only hit about 36C.

No chance ;). Not on standard water anyway. I bet you ran straight from kitchen sink? :p

A LOT of heat to cool.

With regards it's doubtful I'll be going TX this gen. £12-1300 not worth it for 30% Over GTX 1080.

My 1080's currently doing just fine. Likely wait for Ti or next gen if they are £800+

If someone has an option and shares it there is nothing wrong with that. This applies even when that opinion is very different to mine or anyone elses for that matter.

What is wrong is if someone repeatedly tries to force that opinion onto someone else.

People should respect other peoples point of view.

True, I should say that I myself would be loopy for getting this card because I will sell it upon the launch of the full fat chip and to me it's just a waste of resources.

Uhhhh... no.

Neither of my cards has ever reached 84C... even the top card when overclocked and running under load for hours. My case isn't even good for airflow (bequiet base 800).

My top one tends to sit at 70C and the bottom about 65C... that is with a custom fan profile, but the fan speed rarely exceeds 60% and never more than 65%.

Even at 60%, the fans on these are quieter than Titan X / 980Ti at 40%

I have seen a number of reports about a small handful getting to high temps and throttling, but that is the minority - not the majority.

Even now I've been in a game for a few hours (although relatively low GPU load) and the top card has sat at 59C, with the bottom card at 45C... fans hitting 60%

And that's in 30C ambient temps.

The cards run quieter and cooler than the last generation, noticeably.

The reports I've seen of AIB cards are doing even better for temps...

No, they simply do not.

I have a 1080FE in my rig right now and even on stock volts, Stock clocks, Stock settings and with a 1:1 fan ratio, The card easily hits 70'c when running on uncapped frames and my case is well ventilated, has 3 intake fans all blowing towards the GPU, It's only when limiting the frames that the temps are good.


Frames capped at 59 using stock volts, Clocks etc... -

That's a fair point and one am Missing!! If he capping at 60fps then I am quite wrong and that most games will run at much lower temps this goes for ALL Gpus ever made though even the MIGHTY hot 290/x
It seems I base all my posts these days expecting people to be running 120hz plus these days.

Edit
:o His Monitor 34" LG UM95 60HZ so could explain why is results differ from reviews.

Since going 120Hz+ I don't think I could go back to 60Hz, Even with the increased temps that comes with it, It's just so smooth I can't believe it's not butter :D
 
since just getting a new job where'll I'll be full time I'll be earning much more than I am now so I'll more than likely get the Titan though I can't help but feel as though this isn't a titan card and instead a 1080 Ti in disguise :/
 
If it was going to be a contender for pushing the likes of the Dell 3017Q's specs then I would have bitten, alas it seems (on paper) it won't be so at the moment; no bounce, no play.
 
It won't be the same cooler.

What else can they do to improve the cooler though? They've gone the aluminium heat-sink route and the vapour chamber route, unless they go totally copper (And considering the looney toons herp a derp price i don't see why not) i can't see this being much different.

I like the way the price for the Dell is mentioned/listed by various places as simply "very expensive" or words to that effect.
 
The blower coolers are just not good enough for high end cards, especially 250w TDP.. the cooler on the 1080 with 180w TDP is not even good enough compared to custom cards, they should drop the blower cooler on titan and ti cards. Literally you have to run it at 100% and it still overheats. Maybe not at 1080p 60hz, but at 3440x1440 100hz it does. They should just use coolers like EVGA or Asus or whatever, or do what AMD did and use AIO for the high end cards.
 
nvidia can be their own enemy sometimes if they were to allow custom cards of the titan imagine how much could be charged and people would still pay it!

It does get a bit confusing why reference cards (or founders edition lolol) always seem to go with this blower thing, have they ever thought of increasing the fan size so they can run it faster with lower noise? And is it written somewhere that nvidia reference boards have to have this blower setup? Dual or triple fans they could do so much more with.
