Hello, I recently purchased a GTX titan black second hand and received it today however I am a bit concerned. The Titan black TITAN lettering is not black and nor is the heatsink.It looks like the original titan. In windows it identifies it as a Titan black with the correct GPUZ settings. ( GPU Clock 889, 2880 Unified Shaders ). Is it possible its a GTX titan that has been flashed to a GTX Titan black ?

As above check GPU-Z. Display devices should show it as Titan Black too. The shroud doesn't have black lettering IIRC. It looks identical

I would definitely run some benchmarks. There is enough people on these forums that someone will be able to run a control benchmark to compare with.
It is possible that the seller had both a titan and titan black and swapped the coolers around. Purposefully or not.

Imageshack never seems to work. I much prefer imgur as it is simple and functional. You don't even need an account to upload.

Its running at PCI E 3 now - it downclocks it when not in use - idle I think

Slightly behind. Maybe 5% or so iirc. Although mine is a Lightning which I think have slightly higher clocks that a regular 780.
How much faster should the black be that a titan?

Cheers feel a lot better now as its been a troublesome week.
Here's a link to some firestrike scores Noname and the Gtx Black should be slightly faster then a GTX780 Ti at stock.With an OC a 780TI blows me away.

Ok that will teach me a lesson to be more thorough and not to examine my graphics card upside down in a dark environment. When I first received the Titan I assumed it would say Titan Black and glow or something. It didnt what I expected so I put it in convinced I had been conned. I just shut the PC down and took the graphics card out and it is indeed black lettering on the Titan.
