This is the thing. When you start pushing the core up, the power increses considerably. with a 2011 CPU @ 1.495 volts and 2 680's, I can pull 1150W from the wall.

Thats just plain greedy.

The most I have managed with my nvidia setup was 1032W at the wall. With a pair of HD 7970s on my other rig 910W.

I was pushing 1.32V on the 680's

I don't think I will be far away with my 300W guess.

And my point has always been games play better based on the min fps not the max, and this tends to improve very little with over clocks.

Don't suppose your lightnings/software allow dropping the voltage to 1.0v to prove this ?

What is your point?

I think i got mixed up i see 2x580s is much faster then a 590 which is nearly the same as one 680.

Also you need remember them benches are old u linked them vs the 680 and 7970 to say the 680 is better in a thread the other day.

So the 590 was a bad card really specially for price at the time.

I can lower the voltage to 1.075V but not sure if it would be accepted by the drivers. Nvidia have blocked any third party software from upping the voltage and I expect it works the same vice versa.

I am busy at the mo but will have a try later.

Would be very interesting regarding power requirements

Sigh!!!

I will explain it for you. The 590 didn't use two full fat 580 chips, more like 570 chips and the only full 590 which used two full fat 580 chips was the Asus Mars II.

The 690 uses two full fat 680 chips and thus performs twice as fast as a 680. The Titan with rumours of being 85% the speed of a 690, doesn't make it 85% faster than a 680. I am rubbish at math but I would imagine it being around 55% faster than a 680.

Regardless of what I link, the increases for Nvidia cards are not going to make the card twice as fast as 2*580's. My link was to disprove that a 7970 was faster than a 680 from the start. Only the 12.11 drivers have brought the 7970 to the top of the leaderboard.

Agreed.

Just to jump back to the slide, they may have blacked out the date so they could not see when the card was tested and therefore make it more difficult to find out where the engineering samples were at that time/date ?

I love your optimism and wish I could do the same. I wish it is a legit slide but part of me says no chance.

I'd rather wait for the 780/790 than pay £700 for a GPU that may be out performed come the end of the year.

weehamish · 3 Feb 2013 at 16:10

I think they want one because its limited edition also.

But yeah its gonna only be top for half a year.

Suarez7 · 3 Feb 2013 at 16:11

I couldn't give a damn about limited edition. I care about performance.

straxusii · 3 Feb 2013 at 16:52

Just a point in general, bear in mind it has twice the transistor count of a 680 so theoretically could perform as well as 680 SLI, I doubt it will quite be that good but it's possible.

wolvers · 3 Feb 2013 at 17:19

Hmm, I would imagine some of those transistors will be for compute stuff. Plus I can't see it having the clock speeds of a 680.

If it's >80% the performance of 680sli I'll be impressed.

@ Boomstick

Very childish answer and expected. I have no more time to waste with your misinformation.

Are you ok mate?

All I said was Titan was overpriced for what it is.. Basically we should expect single card performance on par with last gens dual card as with every other generation of video cards.

You got all defensive because I said it was to expensive, it's only my opinion. No need to be upset by it. It looks like a great card just very expensive, i'll bite at $499..

Take it easy dude.

You don't know what you've just let yourself in for lol! His troop will be on your case now haha.

Jakus · 3 Feb 2013 at 17:54

Little disappointing but not surprising that people are commenting on this card and they obviously have not made much effort to find out what it is all about.

I would recommend googling Kepler GK110, you might get a better feel for Titans costs and performance etc..

Y'know what Hamish? I've been thinking... Greg's a bit old for me. Can I be part of your troop instead?
You probably dress better too.

Let me know bro

I am fine thanks. I disproved all your postings and you had nothing to back anything up you said, so posted a gif. Like I said, very childish. At least acknowledge what is being refuted.

Please remain on topic. I have researched Titan and what could be but you are posting, what appears to be nothing more than 'Trolling' and 'Baiting' At least Boomstick had some points. You are just asking silly questions and then going massively off topic.
