Nvidia Titan X (Pascal) 12GB Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a third-person open world video game, where the player controls a ranger by the name of Talion who seeks revenge on the forces of Sauron after his family, including his wife, are killed. Players can travel across locations in the game through parkour, riding monsters, or accessing Forge Towers, which serve as fast travel points.

Excellent results at both resolutions. The Titan X is actually the only single GPU solution that can hold a 60 frames per second minimum frame rate at 4k resolutions. There was only one instance for a split second when the frame rate dropped to 59.

    I may be inclined to getting two 1080’s before I ever get a Titan. o,O

  2. 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.

  3. and take the wife for supper , damn! 😉

  4. the joys of the silicon lottery I am afraid. I have recently got another Titan X, and it overclocks quite a bit higher.

  5. 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?

  8. 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.
