Test of the Real Nvidia Gtx Titan, single-sli-tri Sli, 4 WAY SLI

[ELP3]

Hello everyone.

After messing around with win 8.1, which hasn't fully convinced me for certain, I decided to try the "little trick" of increasing performance in the 3DMark benchmark, and although I already knew about it, it's still "shocking"... a 10% increase just like that is at least curious.

Although there are 4 slots, only 2 are in SLI. Performance mode. The important thing is the graphics score:

In everything else, I don't notice any improvement, neither in games nor in nada.Si more speed, but not more performance. Even possibly some games run a little worse except for BF4.

However, where I wanted to get to with this 3DMark thing, which personally I think is the most irregular benchmark of all those released in recent years by Futuremark and that only asks for a lot of bandwidth throughout the entire system beyond the actual power of the graphics chip, which also obviously, but not as much as 3D Mark 11 xtreme for ejemplo.Es that there are many people who are unaware of this, they pass the benchmark with their new graphics card and suddenly find that someone has put a capture in win 8 and gets 1500 points and the poor guy goes crazy because it's not usually said that in win 8 it performs almost 10% better than in win7 and not because of that has anything wrong with their graphics card or their computer.

The use of multiple GPUs in this benchmark, is greatly benefited in win 8 since the micro works better.

But well, it's simply a comment and a call for calm for the few who didn't know it. They have everything perfect and win 7 will continue to go very well, the only thing is that this particular test, they are going to lose quite a few points compared to win 8.

This happens with all 3dmark, it ends up being more influenced by the CPU and system than the graphics. I bought this the other day because of the Steam sale and I think it's one of the worst they've released. The graphics seem really bad to me, similar to or even worse than Vantage. Looking at the graphics from games up to the Firestrike, I think it's a joke. It seems like an outdated engine to me.

That's from Windows 7, maybe from 8.1 it will get more. A system where I have Steam and I must have about 50 games installed, exactly 70 Steam games installed.

The Valley overclocks my graphics card to over 1400 MHz.

@ELP3:

Not just the 290…but some more from Nvidia..;)

How the hell do they go up when you give them voltage...and because the bandwidth in that test is fundamental.Si if you could set the memos to 8000MHZ,like some people out there can touch the voltage of the memos with custom bios,the score would be even better.

Best regards.

Does your CPU temperature go up if you put the XMP profile on the memory?
It's that I put the XMP profile and it raises the temperature of the cores by 4º, I can't put the graphics card in the first Pcie because that Corsair one doesn't leave it space.

Well this gave me a headache especially the memories it seems to be more precise although I still have to see if it's stable, at least the mouse pointer is working well and everything responds well.

Well I've already figured out the trick with this platform, now it's more precise, I leave it at 4600 with 1,312v and the memory at 2400 configured by hand better than by XMP, it heats up a little less, you can notice the stability in games, the bad thing is that I have the graphics card at 8x because the second Pcie won't let me put 16x let's see if I find a case, to put the graphics card in the first one at 16x, the board is amazing.

This is what I reached for temperature with that test.

I was a bit bored tonight, so I wrapped myself up in my blanket and decided to switch from 1.40V to see how the little one would behave... and honestly, you wouldn't believe the cannon that the "old" TITAN is, even in things that aren't what it does best, like the firestrike Performance, but 1430MHZ is a lot of MHZ... hehe

Best regards.

And so... She throws more by herself than my CF Saludos.

@Alkermes:

And so... It seems like she pulls more on her own than my CF

Best regards.

Hello Don Alkermes...;) a pleasure, as always..

The truth is that yes. For the first time in a long time, I believe I will be very quiet until at least the arrival, I imagine at least a year, of the GM110. And perhaps, DX12.

With the voltage unlock trick, and RL of course, there are graphics for a LOT of time moving everything to the maximum.

A hug.

[Alkermes]

A while ago, yes. I hope everything goes well I'm a bit disenchanted, to be honest. I don't see a "real" improvement that would make me switch from the 980x and the CF 7970... I don't see it in Intel and even less in AMD. On a graphical level, yes, there is, but there's no need to do it, because there's no software that requires it. We'll wait for DDR4 and the new sockets Sent from my GameBoy using Tapatalk 2

@ELP3:

Hombre Don Alkermes…;) un placer,como siempre..

La verdad es que sí.Yo por primera vez en mucho tiempo,creo que me voy a estar muy quieto hasta por los menos la llegada,imagino que por lo menos un año,del GM110.Y Quizás,DX12.

Con el truco del desbloqueo de voltaje,y RL claro,hay gráficas para MUCHO tiempo moviéndolo todo al máximo.

Un abrazo.

Tanto tiempo crees que tardaran la nueva generación de gráficas potentes (Maxwell) yo adicionalmente al DX12 espero conector hdmi 2.0 para poder conectar la misma a TV 4K 60Hz.-

I'm a bit disappointed, to be honest. I don't see a "real" improvement that would make me switch from the 980x and the CF of 7970… I don't see it in Intel and even less in AMD.

There is an improvement at the graphic level, but there's no need for it, because there's no software that requires it.

We'll wait for DDR4 and the new sockets

With its pros and cons, but here we go, I hope everything goes great for you.

Need, need not tienes.Si the 980X works and the CF doesn't give you headaches, you don't need to. It's always better to wait for what's coming. Now, if I tell you that a Haswell of the upcoming ones in April, with fewer cores but with much higher IPC, gives the 980X a run for its money. At least in most current games, in the upcoming ones I don't know, because they're always promising not sure how much utilization of the cores and then if it comes prepared even if it's for multi-thread, you have to be grateful.. that are 3 or 4.. another thing is if you want it for "work".

@Patagonico:

How long do you think the new generation of powerful graphics (Maxwell) will take? I, in addition to DX12, hope for an HDMI 2.0 connector to be able to connect it to a 4K 60Hz TV.-

As the 20nm are, I think we won't have the GM104 until Summer. Seeing how the 28nm of the GM107 are looking, they're going to do it very well but… it's still the same story as always. Mid-range at high-end prices taking advantage of their positioning in terms of performance in the market. And then I'd add at least another 6 months for the big ones.. that is, I do believe it's possible that for the GM100 or 110, we might be waiting almost 10 to 12 months.

Best regards.

[Alkermes]

The problem is that, the one of the cores aprovisioning, that doesn't take off... Like with 64 bits.

And it's not because of the draw calls or other things, it's because they can't get out of the same ones. I can understand that it's complicated, that they don't have the physical time to do it and that the budget for a game is limited, but they're already taking us for a ride.

Perhaps the hope was Mantle, but at the pace it's going, DX12 will come out before, which is expected to be done from scratch and be a very important change, so the graphics that will really mean a before and after will be the ones that support it, that is, the ones after Maxwell.

Certainly.

But I do think that it's very possible that the big Maxwells, because of the time they still have left for their release, could well be compatible with DX12.

Regards.

[Alkermes]

Yes, it is possible… They have time, and AMD still has a chance to make a move.

So we'll just have to enjoy our current graphics cards, which have a lot of life left in them.

Best regards.

The new Titan seems to have the same phases as the 780ti, that OC balancing that although Nvidia says it makes OC easier, I doubt it quite a bit, they also said that boost 2 was only for temperature and it's false.

Possibly the new one has the same problem as the Ti and doesn't apply extra voltage, that's why it's hard for it to reach those frequencies.

P.D. don't go too crazy with the voltage, they should last you.

Everything points to them repeating the Kepler move, GM204 as 870 and 880 and maybe February or March of next year, maybe more, they'll release a GM200 or 210, with the GM107 as 750ti and at 28nm, you can already see the feathers, they'll release a cut GM206 as 850Ti and between GM206 and GM204 they'll release the whole range.

Months later, with the 20nm process more polished, they'll probably go for the high end and release some cards.

Unless AMD does something surprising in 20nm, it looks bad, and seeing the Watio performance they get with that GM107 in 28nm, it seems that AMD will have to improve that aspect of consumption a lot to compete against Maxwell.
Who knows, maybe in 20nm and GCN 2 they can improve, but Nvidia seems to improve quite a bit from Kepler, using the same 28nm process.

With sli of Titan with bios of Skynet rev2 to 1006 Mhz they will hold up well for a couple of years I have the feeling

If they hold two 480 for more than 3 years and let's not forget that it was the first generation of Nvidia Dx11, two Titans should hold up just as well or better, and more so considering that the new consoles are not the best.

I would because for playing at 1080p I think it's too much to put two 780s but otherwise they would last a long time, but at 1080p I play pretty well with the 780, although in some games I can't put many filters I don't care, I put them all on Ultra.

In the short term I will need power to run 4K (it's already decided I'm just waiting for the new generation of TVs) and a Titan seems impossible for me due to the current price in my country being 85% more than what I paid when I bought it and the lack of hdmi 2.0 puts me off so I rule out doing an SLI and I was hoping for something powerful in the new generation

Although they are also looking at 4K monitors but generally in the high end range to my country only the Dell ones arrive and to be honest I'm looking for a 28" and the one that came out in the market I find unappealing.-

There's no doubt they will hold up well in all resolutions maybe they will struggle at 2160p but those will be rare cases.-

Although monitors are also being considered 4K but generally in the high range to my country only Dell arrive and the truth is I'm looking for 28" and the one that came out to the market seems to me to be of little interest.

There is no doubt that they will defend themselves well in all resolutions perhaps they will falter at 2160p but they will be rare cases.

Regards.

I'm always thinking about changing my monitor, but it holds me back to think that if I put more resolution I will need more graphics power, that's why now that with 4K it seems that they are lowering the others I keep waiting for them to lower more and also to see if more powerful cards come out.

The 780 works very well for me at 1080p although my monitor is a piece of junk, with one of 2560x1440 I know I would last a few years, I now see 4K as green, I hope that over time they will lower in price and above all better panels will appear, that the refresh rate will improve.

Now here I see that TVs are lowering, especially 1080p Led and 3D and I'm thinking about putting one, although for gaming I prefer a monitor with a good panel and a resolution of 1440p or 1600p, with one of those I would already be happy.

P.D I already saw that over there they are raising prices, I saw some 650Ti worth what a 760 or 770 costs here, it's very unfair.

@fjavi:

I'm always thinking about changing my monitor, but I'm held back by the thought that if I go for a higher resolution, I'll need more graphics power, so now that 4K seems to be getting cheaper, I'm still waiting for prices to drop even more and for more powerful cards to come out.

The 780 works great for me at 1080p even though my monitor is terrible. With a 2560x1440 monitor, I know it would last me a few years. I can now run 4K smoothly, so I'm waiting for prices to drop and for better panels to come out, with higher refresh rates.

Now I see that TVs are getting cheaper, especially 1080p LED and 3D ones, and I'm thinking about getting one, although for gaming I prefer a monitor with a good panel and a resolution of 1440p or 1600p. With one of those, I'd be happy.

P.D. I've noticed that prices are going up over there. I saw some 650Ti cards being sold for what a 760 or 770 costs here, which is very unfair.

Best regards

The 780 would perform very well at 1440p. It has nothing to envy to the Titan (although the latter is a bit more powerful).

I played for many years on a 1080p TV and when I switched to 1440p, there's no comparison. My Dell 2713HM has been retired :llorar: and now I'm managing with an LG 23EA53V with incredible quality/price (I can't complain), which I bought to last a while.

But I don't want to buy another 1440p monitor because I know it would drive me crazy and then I'd want a 2160p one. I don't get crazy about upgrading my graphics with each generation, but when it comes to TVs, when they make a resolution jump, as you say, today it's a 650Ti and maybe in 6 months or a year it will be a 640 :facepalm:.

So what you buy today in the high end in a year you buy a new mid-range one even though it performs the same as the one you bought a year ago :ugly:

I'm sure that in May/June the new TVs will be out around here and I'll test compatibility with new and old games to see if they're supported and how the Titan performs. I'll post comparisons.

Best regards.

I played many years with the TV 1080p and when I switched to 1440p there is no point of comparison and as my Dell 2713HM passed to a better life :llorar: now I manage with an LG 23EA53V incredible quality/price (I can't complain) that I bought to last a while.

But I can't buy myself a 1440p again because I know it would eat my head and then I would want a 2160p, I don't go crazy updating graphics with each generation but if in TV when they hit a resolution jump and as you rightly say today it's a 650Ti and perhaps in 6 months or 1 year it will be a 640 :facepalm:.

So what you buy today in high-end in 1 year you buy a new one in the mid-range although it yields the same as the one you bought 1 year ago :ugly:

Surely in May/June the new TVs will be out around here and I will test compatibility with new and old games to see if they have support and how the titan performs I will post comparisons.

Regards.

But Patagonian, the Dell 2713H (although I prefer the 2711 by far) doesn't have much life in the mercado.Es that is, it would have to be under warranty. What happened so that you couldn't exercise it?

Best regards.
