Welcome to our Titan test bench this is for the ultimate NVIDIA GeForce single
GPU card we can't show you any benchmarks yet as of the time of
releasing this video but we can show you how we intend to get them so we're going
to test it in a number of different ways against a number of different cards
let's start with the contenders so there's the GeForce Titan this is the
king of the NVIDIA gpus it is a GK
110 the same card as you'll find in a
super computer basically the fastest super computer in the world at the oakd
National Lab we've got it up against a 7970 we've got it up against the
previous King of the castle for uh
Kepler cards the GTX 680 we've got it up
against a 660 Ti just for a more realistic card we're going to be running
two of these in SLI though to show you what that kind of a configuration would
be able to do against a Titanic opponent like a Titan and if we wanted to throw a
god into the mix then there's the Aries 2 which is two 7970 GHz Edition gpus
that is a custom card from a seus with a liquid cooler on it so let's see how
that compares to the Titan so we got to tested a number of different ways more
importantly than almost anything else with the Titan is the fact that it not
only performs better than previous generation products but does so quietly
and with thermals that can accommodate even small form factor systems like this
19.2 L case right here so Titan it's
very important to get a good idea of what the Acoustics are like both on an
Open Bench as well as in a case so we're going to be installing it in that tiny
computer and finding out how that runs for you guys we are also going to be
taking readings using our red mic on the open test bench so this is at a 12in
distance from the center of the Fan Hub we're going to be giving you guys
readings of all the different cards here uh we are using our LGA 2011 test bench
so that's 16 G of memory 3960x overclock
to 4 GHz on a P9 x79 Deluxe running on a
Vertex 4 SSD for the boot drive so this is pretty representative of what an
Enthusiast would be running on their system powered by a ZX 1250 wat power
supply speaking of power supplies we have a UPS running down here with a
wattage meter so that we can take power readings and tell you guys how these
cards compare to each other so we're just going to cycle through these here
show you how that works there you go so it's not nothing's running right now but
we had to mod this UPS because the stock
fan is quite loud so we installed a switch on the side that is run in line
with the fan so that we can actually turn it off when we're taking our acoustic readings so this does a couple
of things it makes it so that the room is quite quiet for Acoustics and it
evens out the input voltage to this guy right here which gives us much more
consistent wattage readings aha monitor
configurations so we want to test it in 3D in surround
as well as on a single large format panel this is because the Titan has six
gigs of GPU memory that is on one GPU
this is the largest by far single single
core consumer graphics card in terms of the frame buffer so we're going to run
it in 3D at 1080p at regular 1080p we're
going to run it at 2560 x600 on a 30-in
monitor and you can see here we have have 3 24in 1920x 1200 monitors we are
going to test the Titan versus the Aries 2 in threeway surround to give you guys
some idea how dual 7970 GHz editions
would stack up against a single Titan remember a single Titan is only one GPU
so you don't have to rely on any SLI or Crossfire driver optimizations it's just
going to work uh oh ambient temperatures will be monitored using our HH 506 ra
multi logger thermometer to make sure that we are giving you guys an accurate
idea of how each of these gpus is going to perform in terms of temperatures and
I think that pretty much wraps it
up y enjoy our Titan coverage when it

other computer videos and I have no idea what Slick's talking about
