The alarm bells are ringing

Nice one, you should be set for a long time with two of these.

When are you expecting your cards? Want to see some user feedback..

I switched my OcUK order from the SC to the Asus, so the 25th according to the very nice gentleman I spoke to on the phone. I will be benching methodically on the 290X this weekend and up till the TX arrives and then doing the same on the TX. Fraps is fantastic for benching and that will be my weapon of choice.

Not bad against the R295x2 without an OC. OCed on page 10 its very close and consuption is 386w vs 665w.

If only AMD had CFX profiles on all games

It's making me extremely tempted.

Ok I bit the bullet and ordered three acetel full cover copper blocks direct from EK.

Decided to skip the back plates on these, the EK ones don't really help with temps - and I'm thinking the cards will get quite warm topside.

Gregster · 20 Mar 2015 at 12:50

I won't be getting backplates either. I found they limited memory clocking on the Original Titans and as mine is a reverse case, you can't see them either.

Any reason other than getting the card faster?

Wait...you're charging me to send you nudies? I don't think you realise how this works!

Yes and no, my last 3 Titans were Asus, EVGA SC and Zotac. The Asus was a great clocker, then the SC and the Zotac was very poor. So primarily it is delivery but also past experience although it should be pot luck.

I have had many brands over the years MSI being the worst imo.

Hoping I get lucky with the OCUK version like I did the Galax 970s (good clockers and cool). I think Galax/KFA do these.

Sconey why do you always wimp out on card #4

If I can find one actually in stock for <£900 I will be in for one [1].

Gregster · 20 Mar 2015 at 13:07

Gibbo did say who made the cards but can't remember.

Nice one, look forward to reading your experience with the Titan X. If you could test single card as well would be appreciated. On holiday soon will be looking to pick up an X in mid April, hopefully prices have settled a bit with more availability by then.

Got my eyes on the EVGA Titan Black SC, but tbh I'll likely settle for the Palit card as there's usually some big savings there at some point.

It will all be single card as I won't get the SC till the 2nd April. And brand has to be pot luck really, unless nVidia do a Binning process for partners?

Backplates are hit and miss IMO - some seem to be made purely for aesthetics whereas the one my GHZ edition is good for 3-4C drop in temps over the normal WF3 card.

Ah cool, yeah that's what I want to see

. I'm not sure about binning, I just meant the Palit cards are usually a fair bit cheaper. Hopefully when the dust settles I'll pick one up.

opethdisciple · 20 Mar 2015 at 13:22

You lot. More money than sense personally!

You will get the power of the Titan X at a much cheaper price sooner rather than later. The Titan series is for milking.

Because I'm a ASUS Deluxe fanboy

Sadly after everyone repeatedly mentioned *WE KNOW NADA* most got it.

AMD being silent and drivers being late... anticipated release date 2016...

Titan X for stop gap till AMD release something official next year

Silent_Scone · 20 Mar 2015 at 13:34

lol for now. I think Fiji is going to put a spanner in the works if I'm honest. Come out from behind the NDA curtain looking like Dwayne Johnson in a frilly dress with that god awful AIO solution on it, though.
