£827! Wow, you can get a 690 for £740 on Overclockers this week. I could never justify a purchase like that.

Very nice. Thursday can't come soon enough. Itching to see how this compares to my 2 7970's. RRP of over £800 is a killer though!

Wow i said it would be £900 so i wasnt far off. Edit...infact i wouldnt be surprised if OCUK do sell it at £900.

Someone call the police, fire brigade and ambulance immediately, poor Hilbert, so much work and you've still the Crysis 3 gpu bench article to do. 🙁

Awesome, can't wait to dig into your reviews:banana:

Well, the crew went to work and boom, mission accomplished. They planted that 45 mm × 45 mm 2397-pin S-FCBGA chip with its 2688 shader/stream/CUDA processors onto a great PCB design, tucked 6 GB (24 pieces of 64M ×16 GDDR5 SDRAM) of memory (384-bit) on there and started designing a bunch of new tricks at BIOS and driver level. I mention this specifically as the Geforce GTX Titan has been designed to overclock. The AIB partners will be allowed to offer voltage unlocked SKUs. And combined with GPU Boost 2.0 you will see this product boosting towards the 1100~1150 MHz range once you tweak it. The reference clock however is 836 MHz with a boost clock of 876 MHz.

Looking forward to how well it clocks 😀

1150mhz is that all???Meh. Every single 690 outhere does that and more without a volt mod.

^ But that OC will raise that gap a lot and actually bring it near 690GTX. from 875 to 1160mhz is not that bad (at air cooling).. The only bad thing is frickin 800€.. Idk if i will cash out that much, not worth it.

Man i guess i'm going for the 690 this time(almost no difference in price after all).Can't wait to see the review and performance in Crysis 3:D

With that many shaders we could see a nice increase in performance 🙂

Double precision wise, to unlock full performance you must open the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to “Manage 3D Settings”. In the Global Settings box you will find an option titled “CUDA – Double Precision”, but... GeForce GTX Titan runs at reduced clock speeds when full double-precision is enabled. Still a great option if you are working on CUDA applications.

Still reading through the article, but does this mean they're allowing proper DP support?

Nothing is even pushing my 670SLI setup right now, I don't see why you need any more power than that really. Can max Crysis 2 out running in 3D while recording on Fraps lol.

arent those benches we saw with boost clock 876MHz ? what would the scores at 1176Mhz be ?

...nah, i believe there is more point waiting gtx 790 considering than oc below 1200mhz and that price range...790 sli is gonna slap 3xsli titan i am sure... 🙂

Yes, that's correct. It must be manually enabled through the drivers as explained and the clock frequency will be lowered though. I'm betting that a lot of Tesla owners eyes just popped out.

Can some plese enlighten me I am confused. I have never overclocked any of these GPU's or CPU's with "boost clocks" I know my i7 960 has a boost but for overclocking I disable that to get best results. I know though that the 600 series has a base clock and a boost clock. So when overclocking them do you have to disable boost all together or do you have to set your own base clock and then set your own boost clock? Because I am confused, say if I overclocked a Titan and set to the base clock 1000MHz but I didnt set a boost clock would the GPU just stay at 1GHz or would it try and boost upwards and risk frying the card or is it held back by drivers? I much prefer the old way of just having one clock speed and having to raise the clocks like on my HD7970 all I have to do is raise the core and memory speeds and then add more volts where needed. Or am I reading too much into this?
