The Weirdest Titan X Review Ever! - Live 4K Performance Testing

2015-03-18
I'm really starting to hate the spring you know that it's like the weather's turning and if it was cold here would be turning warm but it was already warm here so now it's turning hot but both those of you in the cold climates are like yay spring and I'm like oh my god it's hot and it means it's time for a new Titan because for the last two years every single spring has meant that launch of a new completely irritating card like the Titan the new EVGA silent series power supplies offer excellent silence and efficiency through their new EVGA Eco mode technology and also features a seven year warranty for worryfree gaming click the link in the description to learn more I didn't even want to do this video and of course I didn't want to do the Titan Z video either I said that in there yet you guys how did the shit out of me until I did it and of course I gave in to peer pressure because that's what we do we give in to peer pressure and I went ahead and did it anyway but damn it and it gets my blood pressure going it gets my pocketbook screaming and it gets my inner just have to have the best mentality of me absolutely driven insane but then again you guys were my viewers so I figured all right I have a problems turning on the camera and ranting about the Titan for a few minutes I mean ech yeah this I can get some stress out well today was GTC and of course they had their little graphics unit demo thing where they were like hey guys look check it out new graphics card yay faster it's a it's cool it's GM 200 core we kind of knew that from leaks already 3072 cuda cores that's good but it's not like great I guess I mean considering the Titan black itself had me over to what 28 8192 texture mapping units and 96 ro PS whoo as long as they're all really there we'll give it this I will say that the 250 watt TDP that they've maintained across the board especially with going from you know an extremely efficient architecture like Maxwell they were able to apparently bump up all these specs and get amazing performance which I don't know and keep the TDP the same cool and we're giving you 10% overclocking capability of the the powered limit so you can get 110 percent or 275 Y TDP cool I guess but you know I can't even test any in this because of course they didn't even send me one maybe they were afraid I don't know because of the fact that they know that I was going to tell everybody that the Titan was just a piece of Shh right back so ups just dropped off a package from Nvidia Corp well it's not ticking that's a good sign I mean it's just but again it's a Titan dear PC master-race subreddit please don't hate me for what I'm about to do for I am going to do a Titan X review well actually that actually rind alright well I mean obviously it can't be as good as advertised so if anything we'll just go ahead and use a test bench here and we'll do some live benchmarking we'll just show you guys how it's really a bunch of crap and you know I cut my foot open I actually cut my find bleeding right I'm bleeding right now you see what happens when you get a tight necks you cut yourself thanks and video transition I haven't really done this type of format of benchmarking before you guys have asked for me to do more live benchmarking and stuff so that's we're gonna do we're not gonna just throw up a bunch of graphs we're gonna actually do it together and I'll tell you what I'm seeing now I'm gonna say right off the bat as much as it is a Titan this is a sexy-ass box I gotta tell you right now this this box this retail packaging is freaking phenomenal I gotta say now in their keynote they talked about Titan being the 4k beast the 4k 4k 4k a lot 4k alright well I'm personally not all that sold on 4k but I do happen to have in here in Acer xb2 ath k 4k one millisecond g-sync panel so I guess we'll go ahead and put that theory to the test won't we now I've got the Titan X installed right over there as you can see it's the only black card ever really like that I guess with reference thingy on there it is a single BIOS card it's not a dual BIOS card that's one reason I would like to have seen board partner variations of it but there's never been a board partner variation of a Titan so whatever they're there they're keeping that one in their wheelhouse but we do have a gambit of stuff on here that we can do now obviously overclocking on this thing would be terrible because it has a reference cooler I said I'm expecting I can't possibly be any good at overclocking that's why I have all these GPUs up here with these custom cool is on here like we got the 290x matrix with the custom cooler on there the Sapphire 290x 8-gigabyte try X with the custom cooler on there we've got the msi 960 on there with a twin frozer I mean you guys kind of see where I'm going with this right reference cooling is not exactly I mean I don't care a lot a whole lot about reference cooling another prime example right here in our 9 to 90 cryo venom from visiontek water cooling block yay so uh well I mean I guess there are water blocks available for this thing already or whatever at least that's what I'm that's the rumor so alright I've loaded up precision X on here 16 push isn't precision X 16 and I'm going to push this thing I'm pushing 200 plus megahertz on the core and you know what we've also just try and melt this thing let's go ahead and do a 500 megahertz overclock on the vram 12 gigabytes of it which is going to give us an effective 8,000 megahertz on the vram and of course there there's no way that this would be item and I'm doing it stock voltage I don't dare bump up the voltage at all on this thing because then it's gonna it's going to melt faces that way so I'm just going to load up Valley benchmark here and I'm gonna go ahead and run it if and when it ever loads vally benchmark extreme HD is sitting what 100 FPS on the Start screen right there or we're going to just let this benchmark go I mean it there's no way it it will actually validate and complete this test well it and the test is getting ready to complete it actually completed without crashing unfreaking believable four thousand three hundred and eighty one you want to know what's scary about that that's actually what my two seven 80s with custom bios massively overclocked water-cooled was doing oh fuck alright well how are the temperatures uh clearly the temperatures muscles such let's go ahead and look at the precision history on there and see it we got max temperatures eight thousand ram like i said max temperature no that cannot be right eighty-six degrees Celsius with the reference cooler overclocked ten percent on the power limit we had a boost clock 1377 megahertz that's three hundred megahertz overclock we're talking like thirty percent here guys alright enough about that let's go ahead that was a benchmark let's go ahead and do some 4k gaming battlefield 4 let's go ahead and let's go and do some battlefield 4 okay so here we are now in a 64 man battlefield 4 server and we are playing on operation Locker this has got the snow flurries and all that stuff which tends to also create quite a bit of hammering to your GPU so I basically this one's probably going to get hammered as well in terms of settings you can see we do have everything on ultra anti-aliasing deferred I have it set to OFF but that's because I have the global Nvidia control panel handling everything on here and we do have motion blur on and resolution scales at 100 so let's go ahead and see perf overlay dot draw FPS 1 I don't know why you guys can see it what's up ok so we are at 4 we're at 4k 60 Hertz as you can see at least we're here in the menu we're at 80 84 frames per second that can't be right holy this is not good this I can't can you see that in the corner I just I got it I got it a zoom this in this is effing crazy look at that fps in the corner this is at 4k guys ok see 3840 by 2160 60 hertz everything at Ultra anti-aliasing is off it's being handled in the Nvidia control panel and through GeForce holy hell ace a hundred this is I'm not kidding guys I haven't played this yet this is I'm doing a live benchmark on this where's-where's these bad guys at come on seven got him I don't even know what I am laughing here because it okay let's just let's add some MSA to it I guess let's do 4x MSA a right that's got to be a hell of a load okay so even with 4x MSA I just got removed for using an RPG oops apparently this is a no explosive server run by noobs all right so now that I figured out these stupid server roles as you can see we've still got NSA is on everything still in ultra or still at 4k the graphics card is making some noise though that's for sure but look at this 70s and it's an it's lag free Holy Mother of God how is this possible you might actually notice a little bit of tearing I am running the game above the refresh rate of the monitor cuz I don't want to cap it at 60 but look at this this is so stupid we are in the 60s with a single card at 4k and gsync is turned off guys this is the yep like that yes Jason you're stupid doesn't work that way but this is still a piece of shit card right I mean right right this is so insane I I can't I can't my brain hurts right now alright I can hear other people complain like oh my god Dan you're playing on a map that's not very intensive okay fine so let's go into hammerhead no that switched over to um giants of curl get fine we'll do that it's one of the new servers we'll do that we'll go into a more demanding map let's just push it even harder cool with that no shenanigans as you can see all the same settings as last time 2x MSA a 4k everything on Ultra with motion blur 60% we do have to give a perf over dot draw FGS one okay there we go there we mother-effing go so now we're outside with much bigger maps as you can see upper 50s into the 60s on flippin 4k all right let's go get into a battle because you can already hear all the all the haters like stupid you're not near anybody's open all rights do this hope there we go whoa turn turn turn oops ah would you look at these fps God I'm going to forget I'm doing a video here and just play I killed a helicopter so while I'm sitting here waiting for shadow of Mordor to update so we can do that test I don't know why I felt inclined to try and eat one of these but I guess they're actually edible this is turning out to be a very weird day alright so now we're going to go ahead and move into the shadow of Mordor test obviously this is going to hand the Titan X its ass I mean we all know shadow of Mordor the HD texture packs just obliterate graphics cards especially with the texture size so I'm kind of happy that finally something here is going to beat the shit out of the Titan X all right so shadow of Mordor sitting here in the mid 40s low 40s on fps which I guess is kind of expected because boom you're dead you're dead oh I missed dai Oakhurst come wherever you are but you know what I'm noticing here is there is like no yeah ter galore when I do that but there is no stuttering in here which I was experiencing obviously with some of the other cards when I was testing the when I was testing this but holy crap though I mean 40 FPS with HD texture pack on at 4k is that good and see if I can kill this guy long range he mad alright so that's pretty consistent 42 42 FPS I guess it's pretty normal though considering trying to kill these guys running away this is just for lulz why don't we go to like 1080 just for the lulz I can't even go to 1080 fine 1440 it is oh yeah so look at the FPS here at 1440 with HD texturepack 80s so shadow of mordor still tends to give the Titan X run for its money in terms of GPU power but then again that's the resolutions so here we you can see we are currently in the 80s graphics card screaming over there alright well that's enough of that let's just go ahead and see how much vram we actually used shall we so GPU usage with max temperature still 87 it never went above 87 in any of these tests yet memory usage was 60 551 max so that's like just over half of the available vram on this thing alright well there's only one thing left to do and we're gonna go ahead and do let's go ahead and do some fire strike on this uh it says generic VGA that's what's funny is it doesn't even recognize yet that it's a type next on the 5820k overclocked to 4.5 that's important noting one card is 99% better if all results alright well let's just go ahead and run this real quick on the the extreme and the ultra the extreme version is ending now which we all know is the 1440p version of fire strike eight thousand five hundred seventy seven and that's better than 92% of all results remember guys that's including all SLI configurations and crossfire configurations as well well last but not least I shall click the right thing last but not least time to run it at 4k alright the ultra test is ending ah 4538 that's actually really really good for uh an inch of the chart it also has like graphics card not recognized but whatever 4538 for ultra that's pretty good actually and i really hate the fact that I'm saying that now one last thing I did on this cuz I everyone knows I'm trying to find a freaking flaw right now is I went ahead and tested memory allocation and guess what all twelve gigabytes appear to be there but the actual bandwidth of that in the speed is we are seeing nearly 800 gigabytes per second right speed to this Ram that's extremely fast 752 gigabytes read speed right is actually faster than read but yeah I did what I did go ahead and run that benchmark because I knew if I didn't you guys are gonna be hate those dudes does it actually have 11 gigs origin I have 12 well at least my card appears to have all 12 there alright let's wrap this up while I still have somewhat of a soul left well guys I try it and I tried to find flaws with this card I I guess I do have a couple I mean the price a thousand bucks is not cheap not even for me and but then on the flip side of it one of the things people have always said is well doing you know the Titan is uses GFX you know g4 time it really Neal professional desktops and things I gather rendering in bulla well okay yeah I guess you're right in fact they even brought that up themselves but with all the technology and here like VX GI and all that stuff it's a perfect card for stopgap between performing performance cards like the 980 and professional cards like the Quadro series or even the W 90 100 from AMD which is over three thousand dollars there's one in the closet back there by the way this card for a grand is actually a bit of a bargain if you want one card that can do multiple things like gaming as well as perform very very well in professional desktop environment I guess I also wish it had a freaking backplate on it I mean you pay a thousand dollars for a card I would love to see a backplate they say it's because they want to get better airflow for SLI configs but I think they have they know just based on the statistics that the amount of people that be running SLI on this are pretty rare I mean given the price of this card but really this this is the first card that gives us real performance in 4k by itself with a shit ton of RAM 384-bit memory bus overclocks never even reach 90 degrees Celsius while overclocked 87 on a reference cooler we've seen these coolers before remember the GTX 480 anyone know anyone around during those days that thing will reach a hundred degrees Celsius and it's so freakin powerful and and and one other thing I want to mention is coil whine was like practically non-existent they actually put componentry in here that was designed to have less inductor noise ah yeah well I guess this is the I guess this is the time where I tell you all three GTX Titan X's and skunk works confer for the record guys we were just having a bunch of fun especially with all of the Titan hate in fact I can't believe how many of you guys actually believed that I seriously hated the Titan with like a passionate level especially with those other videos guys I was sat tired but anyway thanks for watching today's video hope you guys had some fun I know it was a bit different if you didn't like it well too freaking bad honestly I had fun and that's what matters anyway we'll get back to our regularly scheduled program if you guys want to see some serious benchmarks of this I mean you saw the performance if you guys want to see some serious benchmarks of this make sure you guys tell me what you want to see with this card I was serious I am putting three of these in skunk works and they're getting water-cooled and we're doing more upgrades to the system as well don't hate me don't hate me I just have to this is my first chance to actually own Titans and that was really what I hated about them before was the fact that I didn't own them all of the Titans II really did piss me off in terms of the price alright guys thank for watching as always well thanks for watching that's that's how I end this cuz I'm very thankful for that
