The GTX Titan X owners thread.

is there anything i can use instead of Gigabyte Guru, because the fan profile isn't working after reboot, you have to go into Guru before it'll work again and i'm deffo not going into Guru every day !!!!

just deleted Guru and the fan is still not working. i'm thinking about sending this card back there's something wrong with the software and i cant get the fan to work via MSI either, i never had this crap with the 970, i'm starting to run out of patience with it

fan is still not working in Precision X either

My card is here! I hope I won't be gone too long.

Think kingpin upto summin.

Orangey · 9 Apr 2015 at 18:17

My QDCs arrived, 9 days! Bloody Easter.

Hard to believe this one pair cost £30, oh well when you've got 'em you've got 'em.

Does any one know why the titans have gone up in price ?

High demand, low supply = more money.
Dunno how many Gigabyte cards came into stock, but they're now sold out lol.

The OCUK cards have gone up £30, butttt they're instock.

Arh no worries I'm not in no rush to buy a second.

Going towards a g sync monitor the ips one.

What a rat's nest! Colour-code the cables, for Heaven's sake! And tidy them up.

8 pack doesn't use his own branded 2000W PSU then...?

Mal X · 9 Apr 2015 at 18:41

it's working perfectly now and do you know why the fan wasn't running at all....................ASUS STRIX 970

, yea i didn't delete the drivers and they were still controlling Titan X, which means the fans dont come on till 65 degrees and only at 30%

in the lower slot it's now running at a temp of 67 degrees with a fairly good overclock, so it's about 3 degrees cooler.................. oh dear oh dear what a pain in the butt, but it's starting to come right

now to adjust the intake fans, this card is not actually far off a 970 in cooling, it's noisier yea but it's not bad for such a massive card..............only 67 degrees at 130 fps or 290 max, now i'd say that's pretty damned good

Quartz · 9 Apr 2015 at 18:48

And what you've all been waiting to see:

Oh wait...

The pack uses his own brand of PSUs. If you look on the bot for his submissions, he normally has it (them) on show

Kingpin is (sponsored?? works for?? EVGA) so uses pretty much only EVGA.

Mal X · 9 Apr 2015 at 19:04

OH WOW MAN

It's running at + 250 GPU clock and + 550 mem at only 65 degrees with the front fans at 1800 rpm.............gpu fan speed = 55%

it's killing the 970SLI easily, but i'm not leaving it this high because i dont trust it, i'll back it off to + 144 on both

it's freezing underneath the card, it's like a hurricane blowing over your hands.......... nice draft above it too

Whoops, got the two mixed up!

Why have you turned the case upside down Mal? :confused:

Quartz · 9 Apr 2015 at 19:29

3D Mark Firestrike 1.1 gives me 12262, but I'm not overclocking and I am using an i7-3770S.

well that's so i could move the fans forward this morning, because i couldn't do it with the case the right way up

interestingly, with the OC backed right off to + 144 on both it's running exactly the same, but it means i can back off the intakes to about 1400rpm.

it's 3 degrees cooler with the case side off and about the same damned noise too..

conclusion :- sound deadening foam is totally useless so dont bother buying it..............

...2nd conclusion, the PC looks flipping lovely without the case side on, so dont bother using it

Tonester0011 · 9 Apr 2015 at 19:39

Pssh, those stock phanteks fans that come with the case are unberable....1400rpm?? You're mental, and lol at the upside down case....see, with you Mal i wouldn't be surprised if you thought thats how it was meant to be

Been seeing some slight corruption occasionally.

This is just on the desktop this morning, haven't played a game or anything and PC was off overnight.

Any ideas?

Swapped the cards around and just seen some slight corruption on the desktop again.

What could that mean?

they're not the same fans M8, they're the better versions, the stock fans are indeed pretty bad they went straight in the bin

compared to 970 SLI :-

1...........rig starts far quicker and shuts down faster
2...........has no GPU Sag.........it's dead level in its slot
3...........gaming image is much more stable/ less artifacts/ less stutter
4...........colour and contrast looks better, but probably isn't

1..........far too expensive in comparison
2..........miles noisier......OBVIOUSLY :eek:

3..........no backplate :mad:

but if it did it would be even hotter.

but which is best ?..................Titan X is miles more fun and has real attitude
