The GTX Titan X owners thread.

Just fitted my EVGA 980 hybrid to my TX, wow what a difference.

Previously Witcher 3 would hit 85 degrees very quickly then throttle (this is with what I consider an acceptable noise fan profile, a more aggressive fan profile would not throttle but would be too loud)

Just loaded my latest save game, a pretty demanding scene, fps was 46 and gpu usage sat at 99%, hit 49 degrees and took absolutely ages to get there.

Noise level is not above my low noise system fans.

I'm running a single TX and a G-Sync monitor, no SLI micro stutter and always looks and feels like a solid 60fps.

As said a Ti will do it with a couple of settings turned down, not many though just so you don't hit 6gb on a couple of games that use a lot of vram.

That's good to hear. I was considering a 4k GSYNC myself (or should I say THE GSYNC 4k) as when I last had a pc it was only just launching.
No harm in starting off with one card and adding another if needed later on I guess.

Single TX at 4k is fine as long as it's on a GSYNC monitor, you can't max all settings in Witcher 3 or GTA 5 but not far off.
 
Doubtful you will need too, you only need 35fps in gsync for it to feel like 60fps, and a TX can certainly handle that. Just didn't fancy the hurt and frustration of wanting to use 2 cards on my favourate games and waiting for drivers and patches, even more so when these cards are 900quid each and you have one just sat there.

I have however just flashed my bios on my TX and added a hybrid cooler so I can run the card at 1500mhz for the more demanding games, not that you need too, I just like getting my moneys worth.

All you guys with EVGA Hybrid coolers, what fan profiles are you running?

I'm doing 24% below 32 degrees then 37% above.

Don't want the VRMs getting too toasty

With an overclock of 1400mhz and a corsair sp120 quiet instead of the stock EVGA one,I set the blower to 45% to cool the VRM's but that may be overkill? From what I understand the VRM's throttle when they get to a certain temp anyways don't they? I guess if you left it at a lower temp and they DO overheat then it will throttle accordingly?

Interested in the outcome of this as Ive been thinking about this for a while

What other fans have you guys used on the evga hybrids?

olgestgregg I see the sp120 is a 4 pin fan, do you guys know if this will be fine on a 3 pin fan controller? I guess it will and I'd obviously just set the speed I want it to run at manually.
 
To elaborate - the stock fan is on 100% permanently. I tried plugging it into my bitfenix fan controller and it wouldn't report speed although I could set the speed (I guess this is due to it only having 2 wires)

So for me personally I would like to reduce the speed of the fan and have it controllable from my fan controller.

The most I've seen temp wise is 51 and that was after leaving witcher 3 on a demanding scene (40 fps) for half an hour. So no problem at all running the gpu hotter.
 
Oh and some advice for anyone using the evga hybrids, the shroud has 2 layers of plastic to remove. The whole shroud is covered in the first layer, then you have to remove 5 more pieces. 4 from the silver decal lines and one more on a black decal on the side.

My sp120 is 3 pin and I plug it into the motherboard as when I plugged it into the GPU it ran at a slower speed for some reason. This means its flat out all the time however as its a quiet edition you cant even hear it. Temps never go above 51 and it sits at 25c idle
