If you’re listening to game audio at all, the sound of the card with its fan pegged to 60% isn’t going to be a problem. That said, it’s not at all what I’d call “loud” it’s just noticeable. That might not seem like much, but it is in fact much louder than the card ever gets (based on personal testing) during intense stress sessions at stock speeds. I have found that a good “sweet spot” for fan speed on TITAN X is 60 or 65%. While you might find that an overclock is 100% stable, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s running as fast as it can because of the heat. What that means is this: If you overclock TITAN X (or other high-end NVIDIA GPUs), you’ll probably want to increase the fan speed to compensate for the added heat.
#OVERCLOCKING WITH EVGA PRECISION X 260 GTX FULL#
This even applies at stock speeds – the card might not hit its full GPU Boost potential if the card runs hot (but it should never dip below the normal 1,000MHz clock speed). For starters, like other recent GeForce cards, the clock speed you’ll get will be largely dependent on the temperatures the card’s dealing with. That log highlights a couple of notable points. The AIDA64 overall results can be seen here, while the entire log can be seen here. To get a peak temperature and make sure this overclock was in fact stable, I looped 3DMark’s Fire Strike Ultra (4K) test for about 100 minutes. I am sure I could have pumped even more voltage to breach +210MHz, but +24mV seemed like a good place to stop given the temperatures I was seeing after a long stress. When inching near the +200MHz mark, I didn’t require a voltage boost, but I did at +200MHz, and subsequently +210MHz. Given my experience with TITAN X thus far, I feel confident in saying that a +175MHz boost should be possible on most cards – an overclock that doesn’t require a voltage boost.Īll told, I ended up reaching a top stable overclock of +210MHz on the GPU and +400MHz on the memory. At this point, I’m not sure if that’s true or not, as results are all over the map from fellow reviewers – some show as low as a 100MHz gain, while others show upwards of 250MHz. In advance of TITAN X’s launch, NVIDIA told us that a top-end clock speed of about 1,400MHz could be a common sight. I’m not talking about those sorts of overclocks that break records, but 100% stable overclocks that prove genuinely worthwhile – those that can add at least 10% to the performance.Ĭan the TITAN X achieve that level of greatness? On account of the fact that this ~2,000 word article exists, you can probably already guess the answer! TITAN X Overclock: Stable, Not Stirred As it is now, though, I have to admit that I’m glad I waited, as it’s allowed me to spend a lot more time to find that “perfect” overclock.Īlright – so a “perfect” overclock doesn’t actually exist. I folded on it at 783/1674/1296 for several months before I switched some things around.When I posted my look at NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX TITAN X at its launch last month, there were a couple of tests I had to skip over due to a lack of time, one of which was overclocking. My card was water cooled and thats the only way I was able to run it at those speeds. You need to keep the card really cool to be able to clock the shaders higher. The key with these cards is not voltage, but temperature. To fold on the next strap, i had to raise the voltage some more and I was able to reach 1674.
The core went up to 77x before i needed to increase voltage. Just as an example, my first gtx 260 was able do the 1566 shader strap on stock voltage. I would also for performance 3d clocks so that it won't down clock anymore.
The only way to find this out is by folding. The only thing you should be concerned with is how high you can clock it and fold with no errors. If all you do on this card is fold, disregard all comments regarding stabiltiy testing or checking for artifacts. Your card is running 2d mode and that's why the temps are so low and you have no errors. You mentioned using precision, look at the speeds shown on the graph. Didn't notice any artifacts in Crysis either.Īnybody have any other good programs for testing this? I ran Furmark too. Ran OCCT and ATI Tool and played Crysis with some high settings to test stability. I'm kind of worried that there's something I'm missing here. I even left the Shader linked, so it's at 1789 right now. I had no idea it would go quite this high. UPDATE: It seems to be running perfectly stable 830 core clock.
