Is there a way to turn it off? I'm definitely running into the pesky throttling at the moment.
Also I upgraded to a 4790K and a new motherboard. Thought it might be a good time to upgrade

Most overclock utilities support changing the temperature target, but if youre already hitting well above 80 in standard conditions, you should probably try a custom fan curve or better airflow in your pc first.
It does, even at 1080P it can dip slightly when you get into some heavy firefights, but usually 60 locked 99% of the time. At 3440x1440 with 4xMSAA I'm still somewhat GPU bound though.
You now have a complete, high end system. Leave 6GB to the 980Ti plebs!!
no but seriously, congrats
Haha, thanks
Figured I might as well go all out with my build.CyberPunked

Looks so awesome,I want this card in the PS5I said I wasn't going to get one of these but I caved lol. EVGA SC arrived today
Just started replaying the original Crysis at 3440x1440 on my LG ultrawide and it's definitely a big improvement from my 980. Still such a beautiful game.
Card is pretty quiet at stock, don't notice much of a difference in noise levels from my reference 980.

Just removed the stock cooler and replaced it with an Arctic IV Extreme. Best decision - Temps never exceed 60 degrees even with a heavy OC 1.255mV and 1450Mhz on Core clock - Those on water are getting stable 1500's but on stock cooler I was hitting the 80's temp wise. The IV Extreme is an interesting choice for those not going H2O.

Just starting to OC my card and so far I'm almost up to 1450 boost clock. Got a nice fan curve going now, so temps are staying around 70* or lower. Very happy with my purchase so far, but now I'm considering a second. ;p
Edit: Doesn't have as much horsepower as the 980sli I was using (duh), but it's a muuuuuuch smoother experience.

Firestrike benchmarks are finally looking good. The fans are loud (at the moment) but I'm quite happy.

980 is still good

Man, having all this vram is so nice! Just tested unity, gta v, and mordor, and they ranged from 5.5-7.5gb utilized. That's at 4k, mostly max settings (fxaa only). So good. So good.
Edit: What's the likelihood of my 4.5ghz i5-3570k bottlenecking my titan x? Sli?

Both are pretty much thesame, actually. Unless you are trying to game at 4k at high/very high.. Even still...

Anyone here with an sli setup care to comment on your frame times compared to single card? Seriously considering getting a second (just started using DSR on a 4k monitor - sweet Jesus), but sli frame hiccups drive me absolutely batshit.
Righty. Might as well pick up one if there won't be an enhanced version coming soon.

Depends on the game. Some games benefit GREATLY from the second card while some are pretty frustrating since they would float around 50-60%.
Havent really run into annoying SLI stuttering problems (I'm on a G-sync monitor though).
Allnamestakenlol
Member
It's just that, as much as I love the extra horsepower, most games were giving me intermittent hitches or stutters (frame times erratic even with steady fps) in sli that I wouldn't get with a single card. Gsync did nothing for these things, sadly. Just wondering if the Titan X's have somehow improved on this.

No. Until afr is dead on gone, mgpu will never be smooth when framerates arent super high

Well, that's unfortunate. Maybe someday.

Does anyone know of a retail store where I can pick this card up? I don't want to wait on shipping. Thanks!

Being in Germany, I sadly cannot help you too much
Microcenter perhaps?
I checked all of my local shops today and no dice. None of them had any Titan X in stock. Huge bummer. So is there any place better than newegg for online retailers?
I believe the EVGA SC is a +127mhz overclock. Most people can hit +200 on a stock bios, but because the voltage is locked you will need to flash your bios for a better overclock.
People are getting some pretty good oc's once they do that however

No shit, I live in the same area. Was looking around myself but no luck.
Amazon has it for 1029 whenever they themselves have it in stock. For the past couple of days they would sell out 10-15 cards within 24 hours. And they usually restock every 3-4 days.
By default, yes.

Hey Smokey I did an custom fan curve of 60 percent when it hits 60 degrees and it never goes over 65. Is this safe and does it affect my boost or should I just turn it off and let it hit 83? Thx man
you want the temp as low as possible. the 83c is what nvidia by default designates as the throttle point where your card will down clock to stay under that 83c barrier.
your fan curve is pretty great if you're getting temps like that
All I did was click custom in msi Afterburner and told it to steadily increase and hit 60 percent at 60 degrees then further increase to 80. I feel like I've been lucky. I guess you never want the Dan to hit 100 percent? I'm a bit noobish at this. Had some peeps on other forums saying I'm really lucky to get a titan than stays under 70 degrees. Makes me think msi Afterburner is reading temp wrong or something :/

Oh god this actually made me laugh really hard.
Xbone one is like a old honda civic
Ps4 is a honda civic but with a slighter more upgraded engine.
The titan X is like a bugatti veryron supersport.
In general you may have good airflow in your case, while someone else may have sub optimal airflow. It just depends.
I personally run my two Titan X fan profiles at 80% at their highest point. There really is no wrong way to do it. Some people don't mind adjusting the 83c limit for higher performance. Some people want a whisper quiet build. All down to preference.
You have nothing to worry about

In case some of you don't know, the new version of MSI Afterburner with voltage unlock for Titan X is out now.

Just finished flashing to a bios w/ a higher power level, pulled off the cooler and slapped a corsair h75 and some copper ramsinks on vram and vrm. Room temp is about 21* C and my card temp is 24* C idle and 40* C under load at a rock solid 1450 boost (edit: up to 1520 now). Haven't tried pushing it further than that yet, but I'm feeling pretty optimistic. Lol

Is anyone having issues running Far Cry 4 without freezing/crashing on their Titan X? I've tried almost everything, from a fresh Windows install to disabling all NVidia Gameworks graphics options, and deleting the gamerprofile.xml file. No matter what, I get freezes, and I'm not sure if it's the card's/drivers fault at this point.
Other people with similar rigs to mine have reported no issues, but they used a 980.
I'm sad I can't play it, and Steam refused my refund because in my hours struggling to get it to run, they think I've "played" the game past the point of return.
