Stolen from a post on [H]. Will be interesting to see some benchmarks.

I want 2 of em.

I saw some benchmarks the other day (real ones, not the early fakes), was gonna make a thread on it.

It's less than a 690, but better than a 680. If the 680 was 50%, and the 690 was 100%, the titan is about 85%. 6 + 8 pin would mean it's TDP is about the same as a 680-580 worth.

Only 10,000 being made too, considering many enthustasts will buy 2-4 of them, you could say about 4,000 people will even own one of these.

Even the Firestrike scores weren't as good as a 690. So all in all, if you want the best single display performance for the money, it's Dual 690's > Dual Titan, unless Quad SLI scaling turns out worse than the Titans SLI scaling as Twin (likely). Depending on the final price, you could get 3 x 670's for the same price, clock them way past the performance of the Titan. If however you use Surround, or various CUDA apps, the Titan's extra memory will help.

Link to these "real" figures. If I was you Circa I'd just hang onto ya 690.

Yeah I probably won't get a titan. Doesn't seem like it will be much of an improvement at this stage. Pretty keen to see how they overclock though.

edit; VRM close to the memory.. 6 and 8 pin connectors.. Maybe not good for over clocking?

No doubt voltage locked too.
Where's this article with the real benchmarks Ph33x?

If its still 28nm then ill stick with my 680. However, 18-22nm will be bloody tempting. Will provide much better performance per watt if so.

I should have worded that differently. It's not an article. EVGA have had engineering samples for months and kingpin has been mucking around with one. Trust me, you'll see when it comes out that a 690 won't simply won't beat it stock for stock, and by enough of a margin that it's certainly not an upgrade from a 690.

It has a 196GT/s fill rate compared to the 234GT/s (minus SLI losses) of the 690. The memory is 288GB/s compared to the 690's 384GB/s (minus SLI losses). Even from TDP alone this is the case.

Same amount of pins and phases as a 480 PCB, which I also think was 250W TDP? You probably wouldn't get much more out of one considering they had to move the VRM's even closer than the 480, today will tell.

Edit: I didn't notice that extra 8-pin connector that's not soldered up yet. Wonder if non-reference designs will come out of this, I read this morning they've unlocked the voltage control again. With a big H20 setup you could probably get some decent beef from it depending on the quality of the phases, but from just 6 with a TDP of 250W, things will be tight on air. Remember Classified cards have like 17 phases. Reckon they'll come out with even even beefier version in the future?

It is well known fact the Titan was never more powerful then a 690 but not by much though which is great for a single core. Its reductions in power usage, heat, noise and overall size allows for more quiter and more compact gaming PC which is its real engineering goal.

The layout of the pcb doesn't indicate that it will be a cool-running card. Time will tell I suppose.

Unless you have your roadrunner legs on you won't get one of these cards they are only making 900 which matches the price.

They're making 10,000 or some ****.

That guy must have little hands.. lol

Lol at the 'sff' rig he made with it. That case it huge. Would have been surprised if he could have fit the dominator ram in it.

Gratz audi, you just found the crapiest **** unboxing video on the entire **** internet.

Now go have sex with your dad and vent your anger at other people on GameArena.

Some guy is selling these on eBay for $1600. He has already sold two of them. **** lol.

Gee, you seem pretty enthusiastic about this card. Were you thinking of selling up ya 670?

Holy ****. Wait, 3/10 just said he saved 100 of his dole money for 18 payments or something? I wasn't paying huge amounts of attention. Maybe he bought one since coming from his realm, $1600 for a Titan is a **** off awesome deal when the cheapest 690 they can find is the same price.

Update; he's now sold 4 of them. Maybe panda (3/10) bought 2?

One for his brother.

I got a $500 advanced payment from centerlink and borrowed some money from my mummy and got 2 of those cards.

Nobody actually cares. The joke is the part where we pretend to care.

BUTTHURT RAGE STEROIDS DIDNT EVEN READ

Exactly.

Apparently they aren't doing a limited run on these anymore. So it won't be hard to pick up 3 for 3 way sli. And price point is supposedly the same as a 690.

You reckon they can even get them to work yet? I haven't seen anything about the Titan in any of the current drivers.

Probably not lol.. But titan sli would dominate. Not like I could fit two card in my case anyway.

Does this NDA keep getting pushed back?

Can't find a good pic of a K20 pcb.

would it not make sense that this is really some cross over card to what the next (7xx series?) will be based on?

Nah the 680 was originally supposed to be the GK110 chip Rulez, but they gave us the GK104, a watered down version. The GK110 comes off the current K20 Tesla cards, which RRP for thousands of dollars and do CUDA apps and run the new Titan GPU supercomputer.

The 780 won't have the GK110 chip, but most likely something less powerful (or at least extravagant). Even if the output power matches a Titan, that's only more bad news for the Titan I guess.

Also, the GK110 found on the Titan has had it's performance capped to protect their Tesla product range.

lol what is the story behind that?

EVGA titan on LN2, that's the back of the card.

He can't post results yet, apparently not allowed, but they are supposed to be **** good.

ic but why is the cocaine all over that gpu does it make it run faster with more confidence?

ROFL

Thats what happens when your cooling is too cold and the card is idle.

so ur saying be cool but not idle

thats alright

There it is - 21,000 3D11's, from just one card. +740 clock offset. That's almost a 100% increase.




And 14,000 Firestrikes




EVGA E-Power directly soldered to the tops of the cards, the first version could run cards past 700W TDP, the new version on the way is supposed to be even better.

cooling on op card is rubbish.

Yeah op cards don't need cooling. Dude is obviously doing it wrong aye

Haha damn so awesome!

So from what I've read/seen, you can get better performance with a GTX 660TI SLI, a 690 and I presume a 670 SLI.

What's the point of this card again?

Mack, it's the fastest 'single chip' card you can buy as a consumer, with 6GB RAM. It faster than the single chip 680, and a little behind the dual chip 690. It depends on the application. SLI setups may be quicker, but not if you SLI the Titan as well. Card for card, nothing is faster unless you have 2 chips in SLI.

I guess in a way, you could call it a 685, but technically it's not. The other main difference is the Titan has full voltage control unlocked, and you can now also raise the thermal limiters as well. Consider them an enthusiast card, the type you can literally pop with the wrong settings like 5xx series.

Once people start clocking them on stock coolers etc, we'll see where they actually sit with other cards, as most cards people test over and over are already clocked up. It's like how someone will say "I can clock my 670 to the speed of a stock 680 so why bother buying a 680?" - Because you clock the 680 to beyond it's speed, etc. The titan's limit will be heat, and once you have good cooling, it will be TDP.

I hear the 7xx series will give a Titan a run for it's money, but this is in the realm of stock speeds, and looking above, a Titan GPU seems to love the clocks.

got damn

What's the Australian price looking like?

That ASUS Titan is the same price as the ASUS GTX690, soooo I guess we would be looking around $1300 aus retail.

Damn Circa I was just about to link that one. Soon enough those 4 cards will be torn down, LN2 + E-Power. I follow this guy because he doesn't leave much room for score improvements once he's done. He's pulling massive numbers already but claims he will need weeks to nut it all out.

I'm also VERY interested in seeing what happens to his 3/4 way SLI Firestrike scores..

Mack, up to $1300 maybe? It's not a bang for buck card. Assuming it's $1300, you can get 2x GTX680 4GB's for $250 less than a single Titan. On air or water 2x 680's 4GB's in SLI will beat a Titan, even using triple screen. But 2x Titans will beat 3x 680's if you can feel my drift.
