The GTX Titan X owners thread.

Definitely not cherry picked.

Cherry picked cards would have a much bigger premium like the classified and kingpin cards do.

I've seen superclocked cards with ASIC % in the low 60's as well.

 

[dasimpse]

is there a way to find your ASIC % ?

 

[Ayahuasca]

GPU-Z right click the little GPU icon in the top left and click read asic quality.

Asic % seems to be overrated IMO. The best test is pumping voltage into the card and trying the max OC

My super clock is 68.3 percent. I guess thats poor

Mini - ITX finished

4790K / Titan X. This CPU/Mobo should see me through until the end of 2016 when hopefully things are a bit more competitive. Cannonlake / Zen should be good

Just checked and mine are 65.6 and 59 , my 780's were in the 80's

Mine is 73.6% if I recall correctly (Gigabyte). Highest I have seen someone mention is 84%. (from OCN and here)

What temps do you guys get with 60% fan profile ? That's a better indicator of how good the chip is.

72c> is above average 73-75c is good, 75-78c is average, 79+ is bad

sorry to sound like a noob, how do i set a 60 percent fan profile? i activated the auto one in MSI afterburner and my card doesnt go over 65 degrees playing GTA

You running on water or custom fan profile ? (thats one hell of a good temp)

press auto button and pull the slider to 60% and then apply

 

[Kaapstad]

I'd like to think so but I bet they're not.

No cherry picking here.

 

[Bonjour]

69.6 average. Not bad.

so i just slide the slider to 60 and thats it, i dont have to click anything else? then test it? Ive pressed the little tick after. Ill test now

You should be able to hear the fan rev up as 60% is pretty audible

My SC is 62.5%. Why are low ASIC cards good for watercooled overclocking? I never understood this.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Lower ASIC = higher default voltage so when you pump volts through them they end up with higher voltage than high ASIC cards and with water keeping them cool they can usually clock further.

So in effect a higher default voltage means a higher voltage limit for overclocking purposes? Or in other words a low ASIC card is not as 'power-limited' as normal cards, in which case the normal temperature limitations of higher power doesn't apply because of the benefits of watercooling.

Got my Titan X today (EVGA SC from overclockers of course!). I've put in underwater (MO-RA3) with a fairly low fan speed and gaming (99/100% utilisation) I'm getting a max of 49c. Seems pretty reasonable?

I wouldn't say 'power limited' but 'voltage limited', basically lower ASIC cards use more voltage.

Power draw can be increased via BIOS and definitely helps hold stable clocks as well, the stock BIOS reaches the power limit easily.

Ok I see. So 'power' and 'voltage' shouldn't be confused with one another, which was what I was doing. I simply thought that more voltage = more power, but it seems that more voltage = more stability.
