** TITANX **

I'm in the same predicament Drojman.

I shouldn't of jumped the gun buying this BenQ freesync monitor, I'll probably have to sell it on at a slight loss as I'm past the 2 week return window.

After selling this 295x2 and the BenQ, a ROG Swift and a Titan X will be about £600 on top though.

I'd love to know what you eventually do. I would imagine (hope) the Titan X will have some staying power too.
 
I hope I'm in the first batch of TITAN X's for the EVGA SC as I ordered within 10 minutes. Don't want to be let down come the 26th lol
 
Not sure if this has already been posted but:

http://www.kitguru.net/components/g...ith-modified-bios-overclocked-to-1-50ghz8ghz/

Specialists from PC Games Hardware flashed an Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card with a modified BIOS that increases voltages of graphics processing unit and memory. Thanks to increased amount of power available to the components, the graphics adapter could be overclocked to 1550MHz/8000MHz (core/memory). The journalists used Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV to cool-down the graphics card.

Exact voltages of GPU and memory were not revealed, but the reporters indicate that the graphics board managed to remain perfectly stable at 1.50GHz/8GHz in all games in 4096*2160 resolution. Not all titles worked stably at 1550MHz GPU frequency. Still, even at 1.50GHz GPU clock-rate the graphics board demonstrated unprecedented performance for a single-chip graphics adapter.

It is surprising that Nvidia’s GM200 graphics processing unit, which contains 8 billion of transistors, can run at 1.50GHz at all. Typically, complex GPUs are hard to overclock.

Right gonna go ahead and do it. Been away from Nvidia for a long while, any preference of make? I was looking at EVGA.

They are all the same PCB and stock cooler with different stickers and guarantees. EVGA has a SC (overclocked version) and there's versions with waterblocks.

Think we need a poll to see how many people have jumped ship within the last couple of months even more so now with the TX, bet the numbers are quite shocking, the 390x will probably be a good card but no-one will trust AMD support.

That would just start a fan war in honesty. I was quite happy being a single 290X user but wouldn't have been if I ran CF in truth. A quarter of a year between drivers and when they finally arrived, not much in them and even less for CF users was a bit of a let down.
 
I own a 980 GTX in one PC and a 295x2/290x in another.

I think Nvidia take the pish with their pricing to be honest, but people keep buying them....inc me it seems. Titan X is just too much money though.

I got the 980GTX because it was the fastest single card I could fit on a mini ITX system

One card (and upto 1440p) I think the 390X will be a great card (like other AMD cards in single config). It's when it comes to multiple cards that the troubles begin :(

I'm gonna be fair and give them 6-8 months to sort it out, if not then I'll stick with nVidia

Agreed.

Seeing how a single card runs, I didn't have any complaints. I guess a small gripe was with FarCry 4 and adding MSAA absolutely destroyed frames and then reading it is GameWorks fault just makes me shake my head. The funny thing is, GameWorks runs well for me on the 290X in FC4 and the standard MSAA doesn't, so how the hell that is GameWorks fault is beyond me. Still, switching to SMAA got the frames back up and looked just as good.
