The GTX Titan X owners thread.

LOL don't even joke, I don't think my bank balance could take it, besides getting away from crossfire\SLI was the whole justification from the voices in my head for getting a TX

Now I'm tempted to watercool again after seeing the above pic.

Strange that's the same as mines, but yours looks larger. Perhaps just an illusion coz mines is clear.

Looks great though and the chrome fittings really contrast the black brilliantly.

yea that does look good, i think minimalistic deffo looks best and yours looks 100% cool, it's easily one of the best rigs i've ever seen............from what i can see of it, that is

mine looks way better without the Arctic cooler

but i think the credit goes to Phanteks, Megahalems and Soc Force

i wonder if the 390X will look as good ???????????????

Ordered EVGA 980 hybrid cooler, gonna try it with my top card and see how it goes, like that previous fella did.

It'll look a bit pony because the shroud says 980 but its a cheap water cooling solution.

Awesome looking setup :cool:

you can use the 980 Ref back plate, there's loads of them around.

No ram plates? So means bodging, plus ugly compared to EK etc (imo)

Mal X · 17 Apr 2015 at 18:51

i've seen some pretty nice custom ones

i really like the water cooled 295X2 that they have here, but i'm not happy with its very low minimum frame rates

i'm ok now but if was going to redo my card again, i'd go for full water cooling....but right now i'm waiting to see the 390X.

SpeckleD · 17 Apr 2015 at 18:55

have you checked EK website for your backplate?

SpeckleD · 17 Apr 2015 at 18:58

mal are you thinking of swapping out your TX for a 390x?

CaptainRAVE · 17 Apr 2015 at 20:03

Just read a review of this. I was expecting it to perform much more strongly against the 295x2, especially given the cost.

OCed the Titan X is 15-20% faster than @ stock ( I know the 295x2 can OC) just saying.

Why don't they just do that in the first place?

SpeckleD · 17 Apr 2015 at 20:19

I was also considering the 295x2 but I didnt want crossfire, so TX appealed to me for this reason, I wasn't disapoinnted, and let's face it, the 7970 crossfire setup I had was no slouch either

It's the low frame rates that are the most important imho. Max frames rates is for willywufters. The 295X2 is an awesome card, it is only getting lower in price (to shift stock which is awesome if your buying right now!) but the TITANX relives so many multi GPU issues whilst maintaining awesome performance on 1440P and very good performance at 4K. The frame rate is smooth and the lows are not as harsh.

All from experience.

yea but only if it's better and i'm starting to like TX quite a lot

hexblitz86 · 17 Apr 2015 at 20:43
