[r-username]

listed on amazon for $1069. usd,
so are there any issues having titan and a 590 running side by side?

Just got an info from other forum :

Nice find, thanks for sharing

I double checked it on my own machine with a GTX 680, and it works, I got 3.06 Ms/sec on my own machine. However, on TITAN, it won't do anything when I click on Render. Sorry I tried!

EDIT!!!! Nevermind!

I got it to work finally, I had to manually go to preferences and manually select the CUDA capable video cards, it was not automatically detecting CUDA devices, so I had to select them manually.

Sorry, not used to the program, but I understand it now. You can select 1, 2 or 3 CUDA devices, as I have 3 cards installed separately in the system, regardless of SLI being enabled or disabled by the control panel. The program doesn't recognize TITAN, so you have to manually enable which cards you want to use each time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results

1 TITAN Card = 6.25 Ms/sec in 1:37
2 TITAN Cards = 12.50 Ms/sec in 50 seconds
3 TITAN Cards = 18.86 Ms/sec in 31 seconds

So the GTX Titan is more than 2x faster than a GTX 680 in Octane 1.10. With 6 GB of VRAM, I think we have a winner here.

From a Lightwave user:

A very early speed test showed me that the titan was about twice as fast than my 680 (2GB) in Octane. Octane (demo version) doesn't show the numbers of cores for the titan and doesn't activate it by default. I have to activate it in the prefs.

From Abtrax in the off topic forum :

"Now that the performance review ban has been lifted: We don't have any cards here yet, but Chris gave it a spin with version 1.10 on one of the review site systems via remote access and the results were, that the Titan is on the benchmark scene (maxdepth 16, no alpha shadows) 60% faster than a GTX 580 and about 10-12% slower than a GTX 690 (using both GPUs)."

Also I'm reading you can OC the Titan fairly easily another 10%, so you may be looking at the same speed as a gtx690 but with 4GB more RAM.

I´m very impressed with the noice levels of Titan, even running 100% at 75c it´s silent.
Had to remove the GTX 570 as displaycard, just to much noice.
Having access to 6gb of vram is the best part though

Eveything on default, tried manual fan at 35% first 78c, then auto 45% at 70c
5.43ms/sec.

I think you have the chance, to be the first one, to post an Octane benchmark screenshot for Titan.

oooeeh, can you test octane version 1.11 =D!

Are there plans for a Dual Titan (a la 590 & 690)?...

Maybe I will add one or two to my loop if I do custom WC this summer... noise levels?... what noise levels?...

Geez, I love when people edit their posts.
Why did you did it?

Someone has already applied The Mod (cpu closed loop water-cooler on GPU) to a Titan!!

He used a Corsair H70 and is getting less than 43° at full load.

These are very nice temps for such a beast... an alternative to HydroCopper and full loop...
