You can always just sell them with the blocks.
I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be many reports of Titans throttling here. OCN is loaded with effected users.
Here is the EVGA thread.
I'm probably going to skip out on them. I'm currently running two PNY GTX 670's in SLI. The Titans are awesome cards though. These screenshots of tri and quad SLI are insane by the way, but look awesome lol. The performance must be ridiculous.
I have found gameplay to be much smoother using my single Titan, than with GTX 670 SLI, though most often my actual fps is lower now.
I am however, much more susceptible to input lag and variances in fps that most people I would imagine.
A lot more owners on the EVGA and OCN forums. I haven't used my Titans yet, so I cannot comment. I do know if it gets brought up here the nvidia fanboys who don't even own the card will go berserk and derail any conversation about it.
The default bios definitely limits the max overclocker in us but honestly it should only affect benchmark guys since they are the crazy's who fight over every last 3dmark point. In the real world there is too much to gain after the 106% limit is reached. As it is I can run my card at 1125 core and 1600 ram (I think) comfortably.
Not entirely sure I can entirely agree there. My GTX 680 gains a solid 15-20% in performance when going from 1100/6000 to 1300/6750 pretty much all around the board in anything I've tested. My memory is kind of dud (only can reach about 6850-6900 before artifacting) but I've pushed my core as high as 1400 before (voltage unlocked). Regardless, I'm getting the most of my GTX 680 so it feels like money better spent.
I'd be pretty annoyed if my Titan was throttling at anything below 1100mhz considering the Kepler architecture looks to be able to handle 1200mhz and beyond relatively well. If I did I'd absolutely return it saying it isn't working as advertised. There's no excuse to have garbage VRMs on a $1000 card.

But the card is working as advertised. At what point did they promise you overclocks and boost speeds that didnt throttle?
Liar liar pants on fire. Nvidia doesn't suffer from microstutter, you know that

From what I've read off OCN, it seems like GPU Boost 2.0 is borked at this time. I remember reading something about how lowering (or leaving the fan auto) and letting card get hotter actually allowed for higher clocks and less throttling.
Also, Nvidia marketted GPU Boost 2.0 to be better for overclockers, and right now it looks worse than GPU Boost 1.0. At least on the GTX 600s, if you set the maximum power target, and voltage, you got a stable a clock in 3D applications if the GPU stayed under 70C. Titan throttled under water for someone at OCN...
Wow,there's some unhappy users in that EVGA thread.I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be many reports of Titans throttling here. OCN is loaded with effected users.
Here is the EVGA thread.
Nvidia is aware of these throttling issues. I have fowarded your issue to our Product Management team that is working with Nvidia to try and resolve this issue. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us via email or by telephone.
