**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

Pretty much identical voltage/clock i need.
Currently using 4.6Ghz @1.24v 24/7 and 1.35v for 4.8Ghz.

I've managed to join the 5Ghz club with 1.4v, but unable to bench 5Ghz. Max benchable clock for me is 4.9Ghz @1.38v.

I've bought myself some sammy greens, i'll be giving my PC the once over next month, so i'll be swapping out the ram and starting from scratch for overclocking. Hopefully i delid the chip.

I'm too damn lazy and *scarred* to delid otherwise mine would have been done months ago :D
 
Gregster have you lost the benching bug.

You have been very quiet for ages.

Or are just biding your time until you get your hands on 2 of those Titan cards.:D

Pushed my cards as far as they will go Kaap :( I tried everything to beat my scores and to the point of the Mrs moaning at me because I had my computer set up by the back door (with it open) and used her monitor.

I was freezing and managed to get 30 points less than my SLI score and around 100 points less than my single score. Frozen and gutted and a headache from the Wife :D

I will get to it when I upgrade...I am losing faith with Titan being close to the promised 85% of a 690 though but if it is, I will be getting 2 :)

4.5/4.6ghz suits me fine,it actually clocks and runs cooler than my 2600k cpu so im happy,i could probably do 3dmark11 at 5ghz but no way on earth be able to bench for stability

no need for me to delid,plus ive seen too many folks kill theres

I have also found with my nvidia cards I have hit a bit of a wall myself, thats why there are a lot of posts for my AMD cards.

I think the performance of the Titans will be around 65%-70% of a GTX 690. Its easy for nvidia to claim 85%, in theory they could claim up to about 130% better than a GTX 690. All they have to do is pick games with poor or no SLI support/scaling. Having said all that I will keep an open mind until I see some reviews and go from there.

If they are as good as nvidia say Gibbo put some aside for me please.:D

My biggest hurdle is the Mrs. I promised her 2 weeks in Florida again but I can't afford both. I spent a fortune on my comp last year and overtime at work is slack (stupid recession). I could slap them on the never never though but I don't like doing that.

Time will tell.

I think 2 weeks in Florida for the Mrs is probably the best upgrade option in the long run.:D

The other thing about these Titan cards is that I think nvidia will release something in the 7 series proper that will top its performance.
