GeForce GTX TITAN – Focus on Cooling and Noise
The look and styling of the GeForce GTX TITAN design is very similar to that of the GeForce GTX 690 that launched in May of last year. NVIDIA was less interested in talking about the make up of the materials this time around but it is obvious when looking at and holding the GTX TITAN that it is built to impress buyers. Measuring only 10.5-in long the TITAN will be able to find its way into many more chassis and system designs than the GTX 690 could.
Powered by a single 8-pin and a single 6-pin connection, the GTX TITAN is actually quite power efficient with a TDP of 250 watts, matching the Radeon HD 7970.
Not only is SLI supported but 3-Way configurations are supported (and encouraged) with TITAN.
Output configurations are identical to that of the GTX 680 cards including a pair of dual-link DVI connections, a full-size HDMI port and a DisplayPort. You can utilize all four of the outputs at once as well for 3+1 monitor configurations.
The styling and design of TITAN (and the GTX 690) are really unmatched in my opinion and gamers that are very particular about looks and appearance will fall in love with the industrial design of this card.
Under the hood is a very effective cooler that is able to keep the 7.1 billion transistors of GK110 cool while also remaining incredibly quiet at the same time. NVIDIA has utilized another vapor chamber design and a fin stack that basically runs the length of the graphics card, all cooled by the air displaced from the on-board fan.
NVIDIA is so proud of the GTX TITAN cooler that they claim supremecy over not only over the Radeon HD 7970 in terms of noise levels but also the GTX 680! NVIDIA's numbers differ a bit from ours (to be shown on Thursday) but I can verify that it beats the competition pretty easily.
When the company really tries, NVIDIA can create some truly beautiful products.
Now, let's dive into the world of GPU Boost 2.0 and how it will affect the performance of the GeForce GTX TITAN.

+1 on the GPGPU benchmarks as well; I’d like to see octane render and blender test results….also if you guys can get your hands on a 4k display and see how much you can push the 690 SLI and Titan SLI to run crysis or 3dmark at the higher resolution.
Now I get why Nvidia locked
Now I get why Nvidia locked the maximum Pixel Clock frequency starting around the ~304 series of drivers. It was all in preparation for this card.
For anyone who wishes to “overclock” their displays, see here: http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-NVIDIA-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
While many people desire it,
While many people desire it, few people will buy it. At it’s projected price it will be redundant.
what’s the name(s) of some of
what’s the name(s) of some of the ray tracing demo’s that are out there? light the mirror orbs that you move around and things like that, one of the graphics card vendors has it all the time but I wasnt able ot write the names down
I would to see some Cuda
I would to see some Cuda performance test as well, in particular Vray RT.
Christ.. why wouldn’t they
Christ.. why wouldn’t they enable this feature on the 600x series?!? At least up the throthle temperature to 80 from it’s current 70 and call it 2.0 GPU boost.. The stock may get fried but.. people who have a reference card could easly handle 80deg.
i want to ask aquestion

i want to ask aquestion
iam now go to buy acomputer for 3d max rendring an design
and I am very confused between asus geforce gtx 780 6gb titanum and gtx 690 4gb
please help me
