Freed from the sequential numbering convention, it's time to take a look at the GTX Titan, the latest and possibly greatest nVidia GPU.

Nice read, nice card, poor price! The future looks promising for future gpus though.

great card, but the price when looking at 3x7870 or 2x7970 and new ssd, even a pretty good system for that price is the put off

Great review! I love the looks of the Titan, but it's waaay to overpriced

Just a quick question. with the 3D Mark graph is that the combined results or gpu results?

Interesting.

I know it would be unbalanced in terms of CPU/GPU , but if you aren't interested in benchmarking a 3770k with a h100i and this in a betfenix prodigy is perhaps the ultimate single screen gaming rig , small, cool , quiet.

For me thats probably the perfect system.

It's the combined result, like all of our 3D Mark scores.

ok thanks for the clarification

Tom, that card took some time get naked :P
- But what a video to see, 1 hour and 24 mins, a good break after 10 hours of work

you, sir, said the f word at least twice in this review while i get a slap in the neck when i say it on the forums. i feel disadvantaged!
/edit
4 times! not counting the ones in crysis 3

Epic review as always

And if you could send me back the Titan as soon as, that would be great

I was reading a youtube comment. Yes I know...

But it was very interesting. It compared the titan to a quadro gpu. The titan is apparently a very good deal for applications where you need a load of ram and cuda cores. This would make sense.

So should this be branded as an entry level quadro card?

I mean if you look at the pricing of a quadro card with 6GB of ram Clicky Then having triple SLI titans, (or even a single titan might be enough,) seems like a better deal.

great review as always, love your long videos
so much better than the 10 minutes stuff so certain people upload

unboxings? don't even care.

Really enjoyed sitting through the video. You can't get more detailed than that.

Well that was a loooong video. My YT broke playing it. The progress bar appeared at 47mins and stopped despite the video continuing to the end

However, and I hate to be the fuddy-duddy, the language, does come across as a little bit unprofessional and I think some companies that supply you with goodies may start to have an issue with it if it becomes regular.

Plus you have to think that you may be getting younger viewers, who probably know more swear words than us adults however parents walking past their young kids computer and hearing it might take offence.

Personally, doesn't really bother me but devil's advocate and all that.

Edit:

Just to add though. great card but I wish nVidia would start and listen to consumers regarding LED lighting and use RGB. I understand that yes green is representative of the company but for those that take the time in choosing a colour scheme for their rig it's annoying that one component can't match in.

Great review as always, such a great looking card and great performer if I could afford it I'd have one in my rig in a heart beat.

Nicely done Tom, as always definately worth the wait...

Keep them coming..................

something is messed up here

1 word, what?

Dear Nvidia.

It's perfectly OK to rebadge a failed Tesla card and ask £1000 for it.

All our love,

Your faithful (and rather stupid) audience.

ahh, you fixed that last part which wasn't coloured, even though colouring the text is quite useless.

TTL is rightfully excited to test GeForce GTX Titan.

Is it a coincidence or is that avatar a still frame of Tom there?? lol
Evin funny! Funny cheeky grin time everybody

At first i scrolled right past his book (er a ) post but then silly me because of your comment i scrolled back up and read it.

I feal dummer for doing so

I paused Tom's Titan video at 18 seconds to let it buffer and then i saw that face

He looks so happy! Was that the TITAN or... Hang on, where are those hands?

The Titan is indeed a tasty looking and performing card.

I built my current rig in Nov last year with the plan of upgrading the GPU to 1 or 2 780's or what ever the top performing next gen/architecture card was. I even planned for stupid prices of about 35% more the the MOST expensive single core cards out at the time. That worked out at about £650. So if it cost £650 ..1 card, if it cost £400 i would push to 2 cards. I knew Nvidia would be expensive so why not plan ahead.

But damn ..Nvidia really pulled a number on us, the cheapest u can find these cards is £830 ....'ridiculous' just doesnt quiet mean enough in this case lol.

Pitty really, the Titan wont get the sales it deserves imo, even those with LGA 2011 rigs probably wont stomach spending that much on a single core card..i know i wont.

I for one will now have to wait for the 780 which will likely be within the price range i originaly planed on..it just wont be the 'flagship' model i wanted .. owell such is life. I deffinatly need a upgrade this year so its gunna have to be Nvidia since AMD wont be releasing anyting till next year...i wanna play Crysis 3 but im holding off becouse i just know my 560ti will get a proper thrashing trying to play it otherwise :P

Anyway nice review

It will most certainly get the sales it deserves. Stupid price, stupid people will pay it. Wallet voting FTW.

I wouldn't mind but you can set up a SLI arrangement for around £500 and beat it easily.

really nice review as usual
the price tag is massive but the card just looks stunning and the performence is proper aswell

What i would like to see as an addition to this long review is a power consumption benchmark. I mean a single core card with a TDP of 250Watts must be much lower than 2 Crossfire/SLI overclocked cards right? So performance wise we have the fastest single core card that costs a ton of money, hmmm I think I can live with an overclocked GTX670 that runs Crysis 3 @ 1080p maxed out @30-45 FPS.

Think back, TTL does and did, with the voltage, I mean the math is sound, the titan, he would have liked to see 1 more female input for the 8 pin connector that looks as if its missing but maybe nVidia welded, had intention to put one in but it would consume an amount of electricity that nobody would like anyway minus the price-tag, on the subject of 2 x TITANS I think Tom got that part right, even 1.
Times like this I miss 'Doom', no I'm happy enough with a rig build in process no titan for moi just the very cool GeForce GTX690, takes up little energy, not watercooling it as the body is just so cool, and chuck on the backplate from EVGA.

People bought the 448 why not.....

Is 1.2v safe for Titan.

Maybe I'm being ignorant but just why would you overclock the most powerful GPU on the market to date?

To make it even more powerful

Becouse it still has untapped potential and to be blunt, it may be the most powerfull single GPU card available for gaming ..but its still not powerfull enough when u concider what it can manage in the most demanding games and specialy its price.

I want overclock it for benchmarks.

BTW Crysis 3 with everything max out and Motion Blure High killing this card
So is it safe, or not ?

Speaking of overclocking has anyone tried to overclock their monitor?

not yet, but I have 120Hz so I don't need more :P
