GeForce GTX Titan review
Posted by: on: 02/21/2013 03:54 PM [

We test and review the GeForce GTX Titan. The GeForce GTX Titan is NVIDIAs fastest single GPU based graphics card they have ever built. It is based on the GK110 GPU and has an astonishing 7.1 Billion transistors and is as such is nearly as fast as one GeForce GTX 690 with two GTX 680 GPUs ! We test the product with the hottest games like Battlefield 3, Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Hitman Absolution and many more. Next to that with the three samples we have at hand we'll be looking at SLI performance scaling in another article as well.

what we are missing is 3-way OVERCLOCKED titans on multiple-monitor setups :/
why dont we have that, i see 3-way + multi, then i see OC, but separately.
What would be the point of that it's not like 3 Titans are not enough

What a worthless overpriced piece of crap card this is and I'll tell you why. I can't F'ing afford it.

I can't wait for Anandtech to review this:
With titan's overclocking depending in temperature, it should be possible to push the card pretty damn high with the liquid cooling maintaining the temperature under 50° permanently.

No matter which way you look at it the card just can not be justified when there are cheaper alternatives out there.
If I knew that it could handle all future games at highest settings for next 5 years I would buy one. It would save me money as I tend to upgrade almost every year. Trouble is, that todays top cards are usually equalled or surpassed by much lower priced mid-range cards in 1 or 2 years. This incredible depreciation (in value and performance) is what makes it not worthy for me.

Until it reaches it's maximum 105% board power and starts downclocking.

That 10K myth sure was funny
, its available from varius gpu manufacturers, far more then I've expected according to Rich_Guy's Aria info
Gainward, Auss, Gigabyte, Zotac, Asus..
But sorry the price is a joke, not worth it.

Well it's around the £830 mark in the UK which is just mental. Glad I bought my second 7970 from BLEH! this week. Getting more performance for a little over half the price (second hand)
Still would lurve one though. Looks soooooo sexy. Have to hand it to Nvidia they produced a beautiful card.

That is the .PLAN yes. Unfortunately Crysis 3 was unlocked today in my region, way too late for any reliable benchmarks.
So by tomorrow or over the weekend I'll try and see if I can start a Crysis 3 perf review for you guys. Right now I'm drinking a well deserved cold beer after DAYS of work on these articles -- while monitoring the servers are being crippled due to hefty load
Please do a CPU scaling in the artical as well I've seen one review that showed the fx8350 walking all over the sandy-bridge CPU's.

No news on whether that "feature" can be disabled?

Then what are you doing here? If you are a retrogamer there should be no reason for you to read reviews of new enthusiast cards...

The only walking I see is that PII X4 965 at 3.4 GHz stomping all over the FX4300 at 3.8 GHz.

The fx8350 at stock has 10 fps on the 2500k stock thats 10 frames thats not walking all over a sandy bridge I don't know what is the only stock processor beating the $200 FX in that test is a $1000 CPU okay
BTW the 8350 ($200) beat the 3770k ($340) by 2fps both min and max the 965 be beat the 4300 by 1 fps in max only you sir are doing it wrong.

You're being delusional. Crysis 3 likes threads, a quad without HT will give it 4, an octocore will give it 8. Then it likes clocks. What I see is a QUAD 2500K at 3.3 close to already a HEXACORE 1100T at 3.3 and a HEXACORE FX6300. Don't tell me you don't know what happens next.

First off the 8350 (8 threads 4.2Ghz boost) beat the 3770k(8 threads 3.9Ghz boost) by 2fps in min and max you said that only 1fps on max is destroying it so by your definition the 8350(8 threads) destroys the 3770k(8 threads) 3 times over.

Good performance, but for the price they want there are way better (and cheaper ) alternatives. I'm an nvidia guy myself since TNT 2, but at this point i would be looking at AMD, as their price/performance is way better. But for now of course, my 680 is more than enough for gaming @1080p.

And this is why I recommend the 7850:
at 2560 how many fps would you expect to get?
I dont think anybody is going to care about the performance per dollar if your slide show gaming?

To my knowledge, turbo modes won't kick in when all the cores are actually being used, so the listed clocks are just that. The 8350 isn't walking all over IB and SB, it's simply tagging along while it can. The 2500K is already as fast as a hexacore FX at stock, so it won't surprise me if it overtakes the 8350 at 4.5GHz, not to mention all the HT models with a mild OC compared to a maxed out FX. Any price advantage it has over the Intels will evaporate in a year's time due to the 8350's power draw, especially when you're running it on all cores. It's a GOOD thing that a game like Crysis 3 lets at least FX 8320/-50 shine, so hopefully FX owners get to see that more often, but that doesn't make FX a sensation to behold.

Just for be fair, Toms have precise it seems this is a problem with the driver used ( now its unclear if touch the crash they have got with it or performance wise ..) On anandtech who have not use OpenCL, the Titan is not doing so bad ( still it loose incredibly in the C++ AMP benchmark and directcompute bench ( DX ) .. let say, for now it is a mixed bag.
I dont expect to see OpenCL benchmark have good results on Nvidia cards, they basically dont optimise anything outside CUDA. ( This is starting to be a real error, as computing side, the comparaison start to be really not good for Nvidia when most and most professional compare the result obtained on specifc calculation with CUDA and OpenCL and start find better result with OpenCL ( first the same "results" using CUDA and OpenCL on Nvidia and it is even worse when they use AMD OpenCL vs Nvidia OpenCL vs Cuda).
Toms did some. The 7970 hammers it in most of 'em due to OpenCL support

Well its safe to say the card it self is a beast and performs well.
However for that price tag I thought It would perform much better. I was waiting for the reviews to see whether I get rid of my 2 x gtx 670 for the titan.
but after seeing the review I wont be.....

And this is why I recommend the 7850:
It's irrelevant. Titan it's a pure enthusiast card, so price is not much of an issue for people who want the highest possible performance.
