I'll run Valley and post scores once I get my new GPU. My current GPU probly can't do much with it.

Not bad I guess. Just for kicks I left it as was, but changed the render to OpenGL. I barely managed 6-8 FPS - glad to see thats optimised well on the Radeon's...

It barely works; see the issues with Rage on its release and the continual issues with long-updated games like CIty of Heroes and Second Life, neither of which ever worked 100% correctly (or at full speed) and neither of which AMD ever bothered to look into. (;´Д`) Rather than hoping nobody uses OpenGL, you should hope AMD will improve their OpenGL ICD -- although I suppose the chances of that happening are slim to none, so ... yeah.Meh, that was easy. OpenGL on my system sucks balls (Or it's a Crossfire issue) - Thats all I can conclude!

Unfortunately they're being a little pokey with the shipping, but I don't mind waiting ... that much. ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
ClickClick5 wrote:I only have 1080p displays, hehe.Yeah, run this bench in 1080 with that and post back the info, I'm curious. I like the normal bench reviwes but to compare it with my card now, I need a resolution that is close to what I have, and at the moment, that is 1920x1080.
ClickClick5 wrote:Me too. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ It looks like it's going to be a few weeks though, so keep checking back!I will wait. lol

Possible - I'm going to run the benchmark twice and see the difference. Maybe you could do the same with same settings??? Our average FPS will be totally different im sure, but will interesting to see what the performance drop off is between rendering mode chosen...
Settings:
API: Dx11 then OpenGL
Quality: Ultra
Stereo 3D: Disabled
Monitors: Single
Anti-Aliasing: Off
Full Screen: Check
Resolution: 1920 x 1200

cynan wrote:Hehehe. (*/ω\*) Well, I didn't pay for it, but I'm not sure if I should talk about that or not.The HD 7970s loves them some low temps. Water cooled, it hits 38-39 deg C max at load (according to GPU-Z). I'll report benchmark scores at 1300 Mhz core if you like (I just normally run at 1200 Mhz so I don't have to go much above stock voltage) - though I don't see why you'd care as you just bought a TITAN!! :o

JohnC wrote:Ohh, I see! (๑・ω-)~♥”No, you can go higher with stock voltages, although the max stable (before the card will start to throttle it down) core clock varies from card to card (even if they all have same stock clocks)... Check out the "Nvidia GeForce GTX TITAN Owners' club" at overclock.net's forums - there are a lot of "crazy" Titan owners here who already posted their results :wink: There are even rumors here about custom BIOS which can raise the power limits higher :o

Other than that:Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but what mods were used to make Skyrim look so good in the above screenshots?

My rig doesn't break a sweat with the HD texture pack and highest in-game settings on 1080p, and those screens are making me want to jump back into Whiterun!
auxy wrote:Titan is also quite limited in its overclockability, due (if I recall correctly) to the relatively low thermal ceiling set by Nvidia. I believe ~990Mhz is as high as you can go without raising the voltage, and you can't raise the voltage very much (again, IIRC). So, since you have a pretty good OC on your card, I'm curious to see the comparison! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

A little bit faster than your results (not my own card):
