Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the future where descendants of humans (called Post- Humans) and a powerful artificial intelligence (called the Substrate) fight a war for control of a resource known as Turinium.
Players will engage in massive-scale land/air battles by commanding entire armies of their own design. Each game takes place on one area of a planet, with each player starting with a home base (known as a Nexus) and a single construction unit.
We test the final retail game at 1080p/1440p and 4K resolution and with EXTREME image quality settings, shown above. Enable multiple GPU's was ticked on.
The new Titan X dominates the Ashes Of The Singularity game tests, at ALL resolutions. Fantastic results.
I may be inclined to getting two 1080’s before I ever get a Titan. o,O
Clocks on your overclock seem a bit conservative – I’ve managed to hold a stable +235 core / 675 memory on both cards, giving me a base clock of 1655 and boost to 1770, with a memory clock of 1420, giving me 11300 effective.
Final boost with their boost 3.0 puts me in the 2150-2180 core clock range. Can’t wait to stick waterblocks on them.
and take the wife for supper , damn! 😉
the joys of the silicon lottery I am afraid. I have recently got another Titan X, and it overclocks quite a bit higher.
Yeah it seems I’ve gotten lucky – really lucky in fact, over the last few years. These tx-p’s of mine both top out near 2200 core / 11500 mem, my previous tx-maxwell’s could boost to a shade over 1550 core, and my 5960x can sustain 5.1ghz across all cores @ 1.42v, and I can push a single core to 5.6GHz. Feels like I get danmed lucky, a lot.
Waterblocks for the tx-p’s have become a more complicated problem though – I was planning on going with EKWB for the setup, but it seems the nvidia HB sli bridge the pascal cards use won’t fit with their pascal blocks, so I’ll need another solution there.
It’s kind of crazy to think that if you notice, it took in most cases until the Pascal Titan X and in others the 1080 to beat the 295×2 in a lot of benchmarks. Kind of neat that even if you bought the 295×2 at full retail of $1500USD (in the states) in took two years, a node shrink from 28nm to 16nm, and a Video Card costing $1200 to beat it in a lot of cases.
Are they not benchmarking Doom in Vulkan?
It’s neat that a single card with only around 70% of the shader cores can be equal in performance and consume half the power.
The 295×2 was fast no doubt about it, but by no means was it particularly impressive. Hot as hell, and needed a beastly power supply to feed it. And thats without overclocking.
