Geforce Titan - GK110 will be a consumer part

[mmorpgfocus]

Considering the close ties between Pegatron and ASUS (Pegatron being the NVIDIA partner making all GTX Titans) I'd be very surprised if ASUS only got "junk". I don't know of a card that won't get close to or past 1 GHz core speed, so I see no problem with you setting only 867 MHz core speed.

Was really hoping to eventually settle the cards in at 1Ghz core - not sure I will push memory that much.

Just concerned that they are being binned due to different versions now about to ship.

As long as I get reliable 1Ghz I will be thrilled. For $1k U.S. EACH they better reach that imho. The different SKUs from EVGA make me nervous I used to build entire top of the line PCs for $2k.

I was told my two ASUS Titans would ship tomorrow.

I get my Asus tomorrow too. We'll know soon about the overclocking headroom but I doubt very much Asus would accept to distribute only lower binned chips.

screw you titan, thanks for neutering a potential beast card for extreme overclocking nvidia :P I know we dont matter but I always pretend we do.

My local forum, OverClockers Australia, has its first owners results up, a gigabyte card hitting 1050 gaming stable and benching to 1180 !!!! I can't wait to get mine...

My 680 goes up to 1293MHz gaming and 3DMark stable AND never goes beyond 39?C (WC of course)

They neutered that card for regular overclocking, never mind extreme overclocking.

I wonder if we'll see an unlocked BIOS for the TDP or if it's limited by hardware...

[CryptiK]

What I want to know is, how much power cam the stock reference card VRM supply? If its only something like 280w before you blow a phase, the 265w cap is probably not something you want to circumvent.

[GoldenTiger]

That's a good point...

Asus is gonna build MARS 3 with 2 titans 4 x 8 pin and comes at 950 mhz !!!! Oh yeah !!! (Just saying didnt read that nowhere.)

Asus have the larger supply of chips, so i really doubt they have only lower binned chips.. just they have done a choice. ( maybe in prevision to release an " own versions" ( not Mars, but a DCIII )

Hardware, look like power management is a bit weak for extreme overclocking.

[Think]

I'd buy one for $600

[LostHawk]

or are they all capable of 876/928 on the stock cooler?

I just installed mine. Got to triple check but at default, no overclocking at all, the gpu goes 'apparently' up to 979MHz . (Only used the usual old real time HDR demo)
I guess we'll use the xs nvidia sub-forum for all the tests now.
Edit: GPU-Z reports 979.8MHz at stock indeed. (reached 1123MHz with max offset overclocking, stock cooler, default voltage).
Not sure what happens... My card has a default +105MHz overclock or it's the sensors or ... ???
Edit2: Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 5 reports 980MHz at default boost clock.

[kromosto]

this card surprises me a lot.

[LostHawk]

this card surprises me a lot.

It's GPU Boost v2.0 apparently. The frequency can not only go lower but also higher.
In my case, under load, gpu stays at 980MHz, temp at max 80c (idle 33c) and fan speed never reached 60% yet.
Not complaining, just trying to understand. But then... why sell super clocked models ? New technology new things to learn.

If that's not good enough, imagine two on one card? Now which manufacturer would be crazy enough to do that? I bet the performance would send 3DMark to "Mars"

Extreme overclockers will know where to get and / or who to ask for an unlocked BIOS. There's no worry about the 1%ers getting their Titans to perform extremely well under sub-zero conditions.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Thats assuming that the tdp limit is just a bios limit. Still, I'm sure that people will find a way to circumvent it. I'm just not sure that it'll be that easy.

[snoid_zero]

For those still waiting for their Titan, I guess you have to wait a little longer...

This is actually a pretty good-looking program! Props to the design team!

Reminds me of the days back when I used to build AOL/AIM programs...

Asus gpu tweak is quite nice indeed. Here is a picture with the advanced mode for overclocking.
HDR test with Boost offset set to 145: 1123MHz gpu frequency. That will end up throttling to 1110MHz under heavier load but still, quite impressive for stock cooler and stock voltage (and max. temp left at 80c).

Just saw that, I am gonna try to get a lightning or equivalent once available.

Assuming it's true... Some people are already saying it's an incorrect translation from some other site...

[Zloyd]

If the initial batches of Titan do really well then maybe nv will be happy to let board partners cook up their own variants and sell more chips.
