I tried earlier and it wouldn't do 1250mhz on the core and 1600mhz on the memory so I just put it back to stock. Wasn't worth the small gain.

Hmmm, thats unfortunate for a windforce

After reading that article, I really might just sell up my 670 for as much as I can when it comes out and go with the Titan... ARGGHHH! I'll just have to wait for the launch price to see if I can afford it. £600 would be nice, but I think they'll come in at £700-750 if they're $900. Damn European mark ups. :mad:

They've been locking the voltage on cards to stop the high failure rate which looks bad on them.

IMO they locked it because they're worried about how their dynamic voltage control will be affected by whatever method we come up with for increasing it.

any1 seen any pics to see what it looks like yet?
i wonder if its going to be good looking like the 690 or hm not

only thing thats given me a clue is they not allowing custom coolers which is what they did with the 690, you got to hope the cooler is atleast as good

maybe this doesnt bother the watercooling ppl but it does me

Hm and I was thinking of pairing my 680 with a friend, think I'll sit back and see what this has to offer though - selling the 680 should justify the money spent on potentially a 2nd (just convincing myself)

With the high end GPU's I really don't see the need to overclock but each to their own. The extreme enthusiast market who try to break records is a very tiny percentage of their sales so I very much doubt they're bothered. They only care whether they can beat AMD stock for stock.

Thing is.

People can say the enthusiast market is small but if its so small why do games have ultra settings applicable. The people who buy the high grade cards typically know their way round Afterburner

It is small but it's the enthusiasts and benchers that buy these cards.

It makes you wonder what amd have up their sleeve to prompt nvidia into releasing the titan, as in fairness they could have branded it a 780 & released it to compete with the 8000 series later in the year.

We still need see what its like before it gets hyped up too much.

Supposed to be better then a 690?

It just sounds really random to me lol.

Bacon? · 31 Jan 2013 at 08:33

Nah it'll be a rebranded 8800gtx

Only this source has said that, others have said around 75% of a 690.

pgi947 · 31 Jan 2013 at 10:10

So say 75% of a 690, so roughly 25-30% faster then a 680, where does this put the 780? I'd presume the titan would be faster then a 780...

75% of a 690 is one and a half 670s isn't it roughly? So that would make it around 45% faster than a 680 by my reckoning.

Time to take advantage of Step-Up.

Jay85 · 31 Jan 2013 at 12:20

Son of a.... BISCUIT!

I already paid £420 for my 680 on release day, dont think im stupid enough to fork out nearly twice that for a titan. Madness!

Math fail from me

Though I always thought a 690 was almost as fast as 670 sli?

Stock 670 SLI is around the same or a teeny bit slower than a 690 IIRC.

melmac · 31 Jan 2013 at 19:23

see there is a new rumour now that it's going to faster than a 690. Techpowerup has a picture showing it getting a 3D mark score on the extreme preset of X7107. It's from a chinese website.

If anyone was wondering ^

shankly1985 · 31 Jan 2013 at 19:26

I would be a tiny bit worried if I was Nvidia naming a card Titan, isn't Titan ment to mean biggest and best? Say it fails to deliver what AMD 8000 series give?

ALXAndy · 31 Jan 2013 at 19:37

Well it could be worse, they could have called it Titanic
