The amount of work it would take to cut all of those bridges (it's not just one tiny bridge or something) would be incredibly cost inefficient. Also, if you understand how Titan can do FP then it's clear that it's a software switch that allows it to do FP64, if the "hardware bridge" was cut it wouldn't be able to do FP64 at all.Quote:

There is one other quirk to Titan?s FP64 implementation however, and that is that it needs to be enabled (or rather, uncapped). By default Titan is actually restricted to 1/24 performance, like the GTX 680 before it. Doing so allows NVIDIA to keep clockspeeds higher and power consumption lower, knowing the apparently power-hungry FP64 CUDA cores can?t run at full load on top of all of the other functional units that can be active at the same time. Consequently NVIDIA makes FP64 an enable/disable option in their control panel, controlling whether FP64 is operating at full speed (1/3 FP32), or reduced speed (1/24 FP32).
during the next 3 months, and this is exactly what are doing Nvidia ... sold them thoses next 3 months. .. Im sad allready for them...Quote:

That 780 looks really good thanks to the overpriced Titan ! At this moment the Titan is just a benchmark toy. In real world gaming, the difference of 2-3-4 FPS will not be noticed. I predict Titan will slowly disappear from the market. They milked it first since they know that 780 would be the preferred card. Of course that's just my opinion. I hope we will be getting the modified 780 boards soon ! ;)
Tony Tim Logan pretty much confirmed there is a MSI lightning gtx 780 coming out and already has one.Quote:

Supposedly some higher ups in EVGA have confirmed that there won't be 6GB 780s coming out.

If you or anyone here understood how it works then you or somebody here would know how to enable or disable it, there would be no discussion.Quote:

Doesn't matter how its locked or unlocked, once somebody has done it for sure we will know...
I'm a hardware engineer, not a software engineer. All I can say is the hardware is there to do it, the software switch has to be flipped. Is it a matter of PCB resistor values (like Tesla vs. GeForce)? Is it a matter of BIOS card ID values? I can't say for sure, as I don't own a 780 and I can't fiddle around with the drivers. It doesn't mean I don't know anything about it :shakes: saying "you haven't done it, therefore you know nothing about it" is not a valid point. I know that there is the same FP64 hardware, it just needs the driver switch to allow them to run at their full speed, and it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to somehow "slow down" the hardware to 1/24 speed.Quote:

That is true. Jacob with eVGA confirmed this already. However, he did confirm that nvidia is allowing custom PCB off of this card, so they may do something later on.Quote:

Can't get it to work :/

Tried via latest nvflash for DOS as well, same issue.
Running a EVGA 780 SC ACX.
Regarding the fact that the vBIOS is posted in the techpowerup vBIOS archive, it has to work (at least reading) in some way.
Depends what your resolution is and if you want to run Crossfire or SLi. I'm re-thinking that lately, liking the feel of a single GPU again.Quote:

It would pretty much end the Titan SKU if there were 6GB, OCd 780s.Quote:

You will need to extract your bios from your card with this version of GPU-Z

Now I just need a working nvflash version to get it on my card :clap:
Interesting new development:
People selling Titans for $800-$900 losing $100+ in hopes getting the same performance with an OCd 780 and coming out $150 or so "ahead".
LOL-
"Aiiieeee! Must...not.....be...stuck...with...card that now looks overpriced!"
My Titan won't be the next card I replace, my 7970 will be, and only when AMD comes out with Hawaii.
Or they are doing this so they can get a 2nd 780 when the prices drop 50-100$ but ofc you cant see it that way.
And? eVGA did nothing to the Titan card except slap a sticker on it and put it in a eVGA box. If nvidia is allowing custom PCB's, why would eVGA not make a custom card?Quote:

They're coming out in the coming weeks.Quote:
