I have a normal titan, is it worth upgrading to a Titan X?

Extortionate pricing aside.. Yes performance wise Titan X is a monster.

Might be worth hanging on until E3 though, something tells me AMD are going to launch some new cards there and they are going to be pretty good

Powered by PC Gamer? Should be the other way round surely.

Unless they are tossing magazines into AMD's boiler.

Anyone find their Titan X smells? Probably just a new card smell but can't say I have noticed any smell in the past with other new cards. Bit like burning PCB but as it hasn't exploded yet after about an hour of gaming I'm assuming all okay. Only smelling under load, so not at Windows desktop.

My 2 were like that at first but the smell has gone now after having them since launch. You should be fine after a while.

Mine still smells around 70hours of gaming later. Chemical hot air smell right ?

Doesn't seem to be getting any less smelly, but the smell is usually noticeable when running over 75c on the core.

Well, I can honestly say that I am chuffed to bits with my TX. Glad I sold the second one as well, as I had huge buyers remorse with it and it wasn't needed at all for 1440P and the ROG Swift monitor. I have spent more time recently gaming than I ever have.

@ Nik - I have had that smell on previous cards but not at all on either of my TXs. One was the EVGA SC and the other (kept one) was the Gigabyte and no burning smell at all. Maybe a bit too much grease on the fan bearings perhaps?

Tonester0011 · 2 May 2015 at 20:25

I've only used mine for an hour, don't really have an opinion on it.

Mal X · 2 May 2015 at 20:33

I Need a 2nd TX :confused:

.......... that is is i buy a 4k tv next week, not sure yet, but i'm also interested in the 1080p OLED as well.

I wondered how many people have Titan X graphic cards worldwide so now Steam hardware survey April 2015 is up. Over 50,000 proud owners after calculated 125M steam users.

I noticed lots of them used 2 Titan X SLi in many forums, Nvidia probably shipped 100,000 Titan X cards worldwide to date.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X 0.04% 50,000

http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/

Here the full breakdown Geforce 900 series as ended of April:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4.52% 5,650,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 1.24% 1,550,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 0.90% 1,125,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 0.30% 375,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 0.18% 225,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X 0.04% 50,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M 0.02% 25,000
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 0.02% 25,000

Total 7.22% 9,025,000 owners

It is amazing GTX 960 shares doubled compared a month ago, it could overtake GTX 980 in end of May if shares double again.

VincentHanna · 3 May 2015 at 00:12

2 in SLI seems to be the sweet spot for 4k at 60fps

Yep, having seen various posts about GTA V using more than 8GB in those resolutions, I am just sick of having to worry about VRAM. 980ti won't have more than 8GB I would imagine so Titan X was the only choice really.

With two Titan Blacks I am using 7000mb which you halve. Plus the memory detection is very inaccurate.

For every high end game I've played at max settings I've not gone anywhere close to running out of VRAM dude.

Now if that were 4gb I would be very worried indeed.

Yep that's it. I think it's eased off on mine now - only used it for an hour yesterday but didn't notice anything even when I returned to the room the PC is in little later.

I was thinking about picking up a second but think I will leave it a while as plenty fast enough for 1440p. Maybe would be better spent on a new g-sync monitor instead and try to pick up a second one before they become NLA which hopefully is a long while off yet. Maybe in 6 months games will become more demanding on resources and the extra power of a 2nd will be needed.

dasimpse · 3 May 2015 at 08:38

I cant afford another one for a while so i will deffo be going 1440p g sync. Just a shame about the new acer, sounds like a lot of peeps are having issues. Might just grab a rog swift :/. Decisions, decisions lol

Absolutely adore my super clocked Titan x. Felt like a crazy guy spending that much (as i normally go midrange cards) but love the thing. Hopefully last a while.

Always used Dell LCD's and wish they'd build one with G-Sync

. Using a 2711 and an old 2408 monitor that still works perfectly - no noticeable degrading in the LCD image. Saw the Acer and then noticed the issues on the forum so didn't look any closer. Wondered about the Rog but given the Acer reviews seem much better(and the Rog probably been around a while now?), I'll probably wait and see if any new g-sync monitors get released in the next few months from manufacturers better known for their quality (rather than Acer)

Moved from a 780 Ti and still noticing a big difference between it and the TX - seems a lot smoother.

kedge · 3 May 2015 at 09:02

I can't believe that nvidia didn't give the buyers of Titan X a free copy of the witcher 3 wild hunt?

VincentHanna · 3 May 2015 at 09:06

They don't need to incentivise buyers at this price.

Either you are going to get one or you aren't.

I spent £860 on my Titan X, a £23 game wasn't really a consideration
