You're postulating, which is fine, but without actual numbers no one knows.

7970's, even the super clocked models, are much better values at the moment. Unfortunately Titan just doesn't offer anything over my current set up to make me consider getting one, and I'd actually lose a lot of functionality. Add a whole lot of nothing for a high price and the suggestion to buy one becomes ludicrous. I'm amazed that 15 months after I got my 7970 there's still nothing to upgrade too. This is the longest I've ever used one video card.

ATi/AMD is shit (I can only assume mostly because of their drivers, since I'm an optimist). They only thing they have over Nvidia at the moment is that their cards print free money and Nvidia's cards print significantly less free money.

If these cards in my sig didn't print me free money I would be on a 460 still .

Mmhmm, show us where naughty AMD touched you

Titan is boosting up to 1000MHz but only for a short time until it hit the temp target of 80°C:
http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/2013/test-nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan/19/

"Unser Takt" is the clock which they got without adjustment.

I have a modified bios with a power target of 150%. My card runs nearly the whole time at 1134MHz. Comparing with others 7970GHz at 1200MHz my card shows a lead of 35%-60%.

Keep telling that to yourself, average GPU clock in games is very close to 1GHz.

The lowest is 966MHz the highest 992MHz.

Where is OP? Was this just a stroke his NV ego thread to attract attention or does he actually plan to buy?

I can promise you guys that the Titan greatly benefit from the recent latency articles about the stuttering 7970GHz CF setups.

People can say 2x7970Ghz is slightly better performance wise, but that doesn`t help anything when they stutter and have an ocean of latency. Same about 3x7970s. Hilarious

ATi/AMD rapes me in my DX9 all day every day.

No seriously.

Rapes me so hard I see black and colored blocky specs all day.

Since this issue was since launch of the 7970 in December 2011 rationally I should assume that the issue is directly baked into the hardware.
ATi/AMD's atrocious driver team tries very hard to make me believe its because of them though.

So are you just admitting you made that up and you're only speculating?

You have no idea how many cards they are allocating for titan/tesla so you claim that due to the trickle factor it's selling like crazy which is just bs/speculation.

They have been trickling in constantly and could be purchased at any time.

Every time this gets brought up I take a look and can easily find titans on the shelf.

Did you really expect me to find any official sales number on the GTX Titan? LOL. Find me the exact sales number of 7970 please.

And please, there are always places that have any GPU in stock. The fact that Newegg is outsold speaks volumes.
Did you know that EVGA have their shop really close to Nvidia HQ? No you didnt. They get steady shipment from them. So they don`t count.

The fact is that Nvidia completely destroy AMD in mobile GPU sales. The Nvidia desktop GPU department have almost 3x the revenue as the AMD GPU department. No wonder though, since AMD can`t make stable CF drivers. But keep on crying. Everyone knows that AMD GPUs are crappy ever since the first latency reviews came out.

Its always funny seeing AMD fanboys blow up in rage over their belowed plastic graphic card

So, how many hours have you played with a Titan card?

Maybe you got a dud that didn't boost properly at stock, I'll take Anandtech's word over yours.

There are even custom made VBIOS for Titan which many use today which have 1150MHz running 24/7 without much temp increase.
that is an increase of slightly over 15%, performance won't go up that much because titan is bandwidth limited. It's really embarrassing for NV that to increase the clocks by 15% you have to flash unofficial BIOS and lose warranty.

GPU Boost work just fine. The promised unlocked voltage on the other hand, truth with modifications.

They obviously increased the memory clock too while changing the boost clock.

Or maybe you have no clue about Titan's behavior in games. :hmm:

then anandtech has no clue.

One thing we quickly notice about Titan is that thanks to GPU Boost 2 and the shift from what was primarily a power based boost system to a temperature based boost system is that Titan hits its maximum speed bin far more often and sustains it more often too, especially since there’s no longer a concept of a power target with Titan, and any power limits are based entirely by TDP. Half of our games have an average clockspeed of 992MHz, or in other words never triggered a power or thermal condition that would require Titan to scale back its clockspeed. For the rest of our tests the worst clockspeed was all of 2 bins (26MHz) lower at 966MHz, with this being a mix of hitting both thermal and power limits.

On a side note, it’s worth pointing out that these are well in excess of NVIDIA’s official boost clock for Titan. With Titan boost bins being based almost entirely on temperature, the average boost speed for Titan is going to be more dependent on environment (intake) temperatures than GTX 680 was, so our numbers are almost certainly a bit higher than what one would see in a hotter environment.

Right, and CB takes that into account in their chart. At "warmed up" temps the Titan leads the 7970 by 22%. At ~1000Mhz, the lead is 36%.

Hardware France got a 12% lead at "warmed up" temps and 18% at 1000Mhz.


I have a modified bios with a power target of 150%. My card runs nearly the whole time at 1134MHz. Comparing with others 7970GHz at 1200MHz my card shows a lead of 35%-60%.

Again, your math doesn't work out. If the average performance delta between Titan@~1000Mhz and the 7970GHz@1050Mhz is 18-36% (same delta as Titan@1150 and 7970@1200), where are you getting 35-60% faster on average?

Titan gets faster as you start applying extreme AA and play at eyefinity resolutions.

So you can't back up your claim. You just made it up.

You're the one going off on the tyrant about crying and giving NV the reacharound.

I just want concrete facts, not just a newly registered nvidiot in here praising/shilling their corporation. I'm not even talking about revenue and crossfire nor anything other than if you have data, share it. Instead you come in and whine about everything under the sun and make up data.

I'm only talking about your baseless claim that they are selling like crazy because frankly I don't believe it. You keep trying to avoid the question and throw dirt on amd like you're either paid or blind.

That's true but not by much at all. From the same CB review, the lead at 5760x1080 4xAA increases by 3% at normal temps and 0% at 1000Mhz.

IIRC I saw a chart where Titan can play Crysis 3 at extreme high resolutions where as both 7970 CF and 690 fails.Have anyone tried playing Wither 2 with ubersampling on @ eyefinity resolutions?

I've seen something similar, I believe it was at Hardocp, it was because Crysis 3 ran out of 3GB VRAM at that resolution with very high settings and MSAA. [H] found some situations with surround resolutions where they could bottleneck on 3GB of VRAM and Titan could deliver playable frames because of the 6GB VRAM on board.

No idea on surround resolutions, but my two Titans do 60FPS steady in Witcher 2 with ubersampling on at 2560x1600.

This thread smells of nvidia butt hurt because the prophecy that Titan would always be sold out and impossible to find had a half life of one week from release before it ended. Like I've said before to the acolytes, Titan is in stock for retail MSRP any time you want one at multiple etailors, all the time.

Titan is an awesome card but @ $999 I would personally go with 690.

The irony here is that every time you go to well known retailers Like newegg it's sold out.


Smells more like amd/7970 than anything else.
