Thank you for this, I'm owner of one and was thinking how it stack. Few things to note : 1) I always undervolt mine, since default power/temp limits force lower clock in long test than with it. In My case, I settled for 0.8V @ 1620MHz via Afterburner V/F curve (going too low on voltage prevents card from reaching 3D clocks). 2) Power usage gets solved with undervolt 3) Some programs will be locked to 1350-ish MHz core clock, and that's "CUDA Compute Mode" thing. To disable throttling under it, you need to go into NV profiler and manually diasable that (this setting may be reset after driver update) 3) You don't have to remove the whole heatsink to see/repaste GV100. Window part of the cooler can be removed with 4 screws to clean heatsink (the same as on Pascal/Maxwell/Kepler "FE" cards that use similar design), while heatsink removal only needs 4 more.

Volta was never meant for gaming and that's why it never saw mass release in consumer market. I remember one of my friends had procured it for Machine learning(Artificial neural network training) and they sure found the price justified and his firm recovered the money within a year or so of purchase.
ChaitanyaShukla2503 Quadro Bridge, why he called it consumer card ? Was he not around back then ? Only Direct sale card from Nvidia, tot in German shops. You friend did College, you ?
It depends on your use case, if you are doing FP64 work loads than this card is about 5x faster than a 4090. Also you could find SLI boards with 4 slots back then so theoretically you could have 20x the FP64 performance in one rig for 600$ more than a 4090. So for people that are doing that kind of work at 600$ it is actually a really great price.
Very much so. If my problems didn't need more VRAM and ECC memory wasn't a must it would have been a steal even at full price. The Quadro GV100 I use is still available new today at even higher than original MRSP - if you need active cooling and display outputs there's no better GPU than the Titan V/GV100 for FP64 CUDA, otherwise you're onto the A100
this is assuming SLI actually works the way the marketing purported it to. which it patently did not. which is why it failed and was forgotten. this comment is laughable.
@@lucasrem SLi doesn't originally stack Ram nor is it meant to, it is to increase the output resolution of the viewport, not the scene complexity or texture ram. The texture has to be replicated across to every GPU for it's TMU to access and map correctly, the compositer of the output comes last in the chain and has nothing to do with the textures other than compositing the stream as it comes out from the TMU. That's what used to irritate me to no end when I read magazines in the "SLi era" because they used to add the TRam if the cards up as if that number had a meaning - it never did. If you SLi connect 4x4Gb cards you still have a 4Gb card, not a 16Gb card. You're adding together the rasterizing and resolution "power" of the GPU's but not their texture ram. There were multiple modes used but actual SLi does not "stack" anything other than output resolution, that's it. I ran a quad SLi set for a while, two 7950Gx2's bridged, and ended up having to try to explain what it is/does and isn't/doesn't do many times to people mostly when I upgraded to a single 8800Ultra I think it was, it was so long ago I forget now. My 4x 7950's with 512mb each did not result in a 2Gb GPU bridged, it resulted in a 3.5 times faster 512mb GPU, even that is kinda 'wrong' - it resulted in a 7950 with 3.5 times the output resolution capability of a single card - mostly. It's not 100% apples to apples that way either, but lightyears closer to ram stacking them pretending it's a 2Gb card in some form.
the main selling point of this gpu back then (and depending of use case, still is) is it's FP64 precision, since anything that can do these type of calculations are in the stupidly high mark price range, at least so far, not even the ADA RTX 6000 is even close to it in these type of calculations, since it's going directly for a tesla gpu, and amd tends to have better rations on FP64 (XTX has 1.9 FP64 Tflops, while the 4090 has 1.2 tlops, titan V 7.6 Tflops), but their support is limited since a lot of apps are cuda exclusive, while hip and zluda are still on the works. It's a very specific use case, but for those that need it, so far only the A100 tier of gpu's can satisfy that need, or getting and old titan V does wonders.
Nowadays there are GTX Titans 6gb that can be found for 80-100$. Its msrp was 999$ in 2013. I've been thinking about getting one of these just to put it on a shelf. Great stuff for collectirs considering its current price
I got both a Z (retired now) and a V (still in daily use). For FP64 CUDA compute without the need for ECC, even at full retail price they were really good value compared with the alternative quadro / tesla cars.The marketing for them was a bit more problematic, but if you actually needed their unique features the price actually made a whole lot of sense imo.
HBM still exists, but it has been proven to not be sturdy enough for consumer graphics cards and would make maintenance and repairs very expensive, since any vram issues would require replacing the GPU instead of just the RAM chips like on regular cards.
just saw one for sale near me for a good price. already have a founders 3080 ti so definitely not a necessity but would love one for the collection. perfect timing with this being uploaded 3 minutes ago haha
Legendary card...came on the market and everyone forgot about it as it was an oddball and insanely expensive :D I think the Volta core itself found it's way into datacenters instead.
yep. the titan v was nvidia's way to dump the dies with only 3/4 the memory bus functional, the datacenter versions had the full 4096bit bus and 16 or 32GB of HBM
Kitty is so cute. It would be pretty cool for you to upgrade all the thermals and see how well it can OC. See if there's more in the tank. A good show case for Kryosheet too :p

Honestly the increase in performance on the 4070 is amazing in some games like cyberpunk, but relatively minimal in games that were around the same time this was released. It goes to show how well developers optimize games for the current gen of hardware.
I have Titan V with waterblock and shuntmodded with 2x5mohms resistors for both power plugs. It results with about 525W max power limit instead of stock 300W (75*2 + 150*2 + 75W). At 2100@1.093v card can draw 450W in gaming. Highest power draw I saw was in GPUPI in CUDA mode (PL2 state unlocked in nvinspector) and it was 500-525W with slight power throotle. I did direct comparison with 3090 in metro exodus DX11 at 5k. 3090@1900mhz was about 40% faster than Volta@2100Mhz and 1000mhz HBM2 (58 vs 41FPS).
I've got the exact same setup, bought it with shunt mods already installed. I'm running a custom fitted 280mm AIO to keep temps under control (40-50C under full load, hotspot around 70-75C) What sort of temps do you get? I wish I could find a waterblock available somewhere.. love this card, apparently the only one in my country. Super rare!
Would be cool to see if you can find a waterblock (or try fit an AIO if the HBM height isn't horrific) and shunt mod it, it was a financial mistake, but maybe you can try limit the "damage" by getting some more fun from it :) Clock was in the 1500 range a lot of the time, if it's like Pascal/Turing then should be able to get around 2GHz maybe with good cooling/power limit.
WOW! I still have 3 of them. I wad crazy mining back then. They paid for themselves back then. 😅 Oh, and its performance gets way better when you use liquid metal on it and replace the junk thermal pads with Thermalright pads. 👍🏾
It's always fun looking back at what used to be mind blowingly fast hardware. I have a 4090 and Ryzen 7950x3d....the best you can buy today...it will be fun in 5-10 years to look back.
This is really interesting. It’s amazing how capable it is so long after release. Accounting for inflation the $3k price in 2017 would be $3.8k today. I wonder how current $2k cards will compare to $600 cards in 6 years from now.
Still have one, Pretty sure the cooler is the exact same heatsink (inside) as 1070/1080/1080Ti. They become temperature limited pretty fast, you really have to crank the fans up to 70% or so to get the most out of it without going totally deaf.... That said if you think that's loud go and compare to a Tesla V100 in a datacenter rack. I briefly had it watercooled which makes all the difference, but went back to air cooler for more compatability (so if anyone needs a spare waterblock..) In gaming they're about the same as a 2080Ti which isn't surprising since Turing was based on Volta (they took away the compute and added a token amount of ray tracing). rtx2080Ti: 4352sp x2 x2Ghz = *17.5Tflops* FP32 TitanV: 5120sp x2 x1.7Ghz = *17.4Tflops* FP32 (in single precision and lightweight tasks like games you'll run at higher clocks, unless you're temp/power limited like in the video, I have seen 2Ghz on mine under water and at the start of air cooled tests) However the FP64 double precision is miles different. rtx4090: 16384 x2 x2.6Ghz /64 = *1.3* Tflops TitanV: 5120 x2 x1.41Ghz /2 = *7.2* Tflops I've sold my rtx3090 but keeping the TitanV, with current prices I nearly bought another for NVlink (back when nvidia would let you buy multiple cards rather than force you to buy the new rtx5090 Ti super extreme for £4000). Edit: also with a 815mmSq die (plus HBM2) it cost Nvidia a fortune to make these cards. Now Nvidia is back to the far cheaper ~600mmSq dies using GDDR memory but still charge a fortune.
Yea, a friend got one for cheap(at the time) at his job and it still runs most new fine at 1080p if you lower the settings a bit. It was truly a beast of its time
Awesome video, love it. As others in comments mentioned this card might not great for gaming but for compute especially FP64 its still a king, as such if it comes to it would be awesome to see some tests for compute work that benefits from it. Especially as it is the last relatively consumer oriented card that has FP64 performance, the only other cards with double precision unlocked are older Nvidia teslas or the the new A100 which is just incomparable for the price reasons. I do wish nvidia started doing again the FP64 unlocked cards, with them putting it on top of what used to be a quadro lineup, that way we get great cards for compute, without the data center oriented shrouds.
I enjoyed that retrospective. If you want to run it more quietly, mount it in a vertical orientation in a case like the Silverstone FT05. I'd be interested to see your perspective on the Titan X (being a glorified 980ti).
I was surprised to hear this described as "aging well" with performance like that. My 5700xt is only 1 year newer than this thing (based on how old you said it was), and it seems to have aged much much better; especially for the $400 I paid for it on launch. It's still kicking and they go for like, $100 used now. I'd say my $400 1070 aged better too, but it died after 2 years and don't seem to exist anymore. My 290X is still kicking somehow, too. And don't get me started with the amount of 580s my friends have that are still running the newest games somehow. I still remember when the older Titans were shown to me as a reason to regret buying the 290X lol. I can't believe anyone ever bought these things. Even the 4090 somehow manages to be a better value proposition..
1:14 One of the largest consumer tech retailers in my country had it in stock so I'm sure at least a few people bought them with the intention to just game.
What really gets me with that GPU is the die size. 815mm^2. This thing is a similar size to the H100. I used to own one. It was in a system that also had a Titan Xp installed. Work provided the Volta and I sadly had to give it back, but I bought the Xp with my own money and used it up until last last year when I bought a 7900XTX.
I bought one of these a few years ago for $700 on ebay because I never had $3k to buy a new one. Coil whine was INSANE but performance was on par with the results you got. I’m a sucker for LEDs and since the Titan V logo didn’t light up, I swapped back to my Titan Xp which was only slightly worse in performance.
I saw one in a shop last year and was curious, but I'm not into collecting so the price was too much for me. I don't recall exactly how it was marketed at the time but I don't think it was ever targeted at gaming. It would be more interesting to see it in workloads it was intended for vs gaming GPUs of the time and today.
Worth mentioning one was designed for workstation use and not gaming. I'm sure if you have one from your workstation days or still use it for a workstation but need to do some mid-to-high end gaming. It still performs well. Buying a new GPU a 4070 or 4070 super hands down.
What about replacing that stock cooler with a waterblock? Maybe it would improve by allowing it to boost higher? Even the paste looked a bit dry on that thing so maybe a repaste would help?
I won't lie... I really like seeing Der Cat. He's so fluffy and loveable, and he looks at GPU like he wants to do some serious gaming. Anyway, speaking of GPUs... Using a 2080 right now and it's surprisingly good even today. Sure, it struggles a little with shadows sometimes, and ray tracing... But still a solid card for 1080p.
I'm curious to see more about the Titan RTX nowadays, being the only Titan released since RTX became a thing. From memory it was basically just a 24gb version of the 2080Ti with a little bit more performance, but I don't think many people bought it.
It also had the workstation-specific optimizations that the Titan series was known for. Sadly Nvidia then discontinued the Titans and replaced it with the RTX 90 series, which completely lack the workstation features that made the Titans such a good prosumer option.
I immediately went on eBay to see if I could pick one up. Found some as parts only and was still tempted just so I could have it in the collection. Must be something about the 10 series in Gold...
for viewers: if you're into older card, may I suggest getting the 1080ti 11gb which still valid today (and perhaps another few more years to come) use the almost latest graphics drivers and install the software to adjust the card to always run at 50% fan speed on idle, and boost up on higher clock speeds.
The same card that showed that it does not need RT cores for ray tracing. With the largest chip for a serial card (815 mm) and a beautiful PCB, with an incredible cost of $3000 and which is weaker than the 2080 Ti in games. Now it's a museum piece for an Nvidia card collector.
I got a small collection of cards! This is the 1 like to add but only at a way cheaper price so it'll probably be years before i can add! My favorite out of all the cards i own is probably evga 980ti kingpin! Its such a beautiful card
Damn those clocks are low. It'd be interesting to see this thing under water. You think most Pascal blocks would fit? The performance is closer to my OC'd 1080 than I expected.
I still have my 1080 TI water cooled GTX card and it still kick ass but it is starting to show its age which for 6 years is normal and actually good because it's still kicking butt!
New games and new cards usually benefit from driver optimizations. Whereas new games don't get optimized drivers with old cards so much. Games that have been out for awhile will most likely still show optimizations, even if they haven't been updated for these old cards in awhile. Comparing unoptimized, but compatible games, does give insight into how much the raw performance is.
Looks like your cat really enjoys the hot air coming from the card. 😂 It also looks like a Lamborghini if you look at it from the Air intake side. Surely was special. But i settled with a GTX 1070, which i replaced with an AMD card last year.

Yay! Another cat video on the weekend for the win🎉! On a related note, the cost of the Titan V is worth a lot of supplies of tuna🤭.
the main selling point of this gpu back then (and depending of use case, still is) is it's FP64 precision, since anything that can do these type of calculations are in the stupidly high mark price range, at least so far, not even the ADA RTX 6000 is even close to it in these type of calculations, since it's going directly for a tesla gpu, and amd tends to have better rations on FP64 (XTX has 1.9 FP64 Tflops, while the 4090 has 1.2 tlops, titan V 7.6 Tflops), but their support is limited since a lot of apps are cuda exclusive, while hip and zluda are still on the works.
It's a very specific use case, but for those that need it, so far only the A100 tier of gpu's can satisfy that need, or getting and old titan V does wonders.
It's FP16 is also shockingly good for its time. Basically the first real AI enabled card.
@@Wobbothe3rdexactly, this thing was purpose-bred to be a machine learning monster, its ability to play games was secondary
Wow… it’s 7 years ago…
I still remember myself watching videos religiously abt it
why wow, should you forget it ?
00:52 cuteness overload!
In my opinion the older founders edition cards looked really nice. Those old blower cards, even though they're loud and run hot, look really cool.
Nowadays there are GTX Titans 6gb that can be found for 80-100$. Its msrp was 999$ in 2013. I've been thinking about getting one of these just to put it on a shelf. Great stuff for collectirs considering its current price
I remeber that 999$ was really outrageous price for GPU 😂 Good old times
I have a Titan Z in my display case, I love the design of those cards.
I got both a Z (retired now) and a V (still in daily use). For FP64 CUDA compute without the need for ECC, even at full retail price they were really good value compared with the alternative quadro / tesla cars.The marketing for them was a bit more problematic, but if you actually needed their unique features the price actually made a whole lot of sense imo.
sad HBM did not stay I loved how small the R9 nano was used it for years, they are getting stupidly big
Oh, it's still around. Just not for us mortals. 😅
HBM still exists, but it has been proven to not be sturdy enough for consumer graphics cards and would make maintenance and repairs very expensive, since any vram issues would require replacing the GPU instead of just the RAM chips like on regular cards.
just saw one for sale near me for a good price. already have a founders 3080 ti so definitely not a necessity but would love one for the collection. perfect timing with this being uploaded 3 minutes ago haha
Legendary card...came on the market and everyone forgot about it as it was an oddball and insanely expensive :D I think the Volta core itself found it's way into datacenters instead.
That’s what Volta was originally for if I’m not wrong. It’s why there wasn’t any GeForce Volta Cards which is kinda of a shame
yep. the titan v was nvidia's way to dump the dies with only 3/4 the memory bus functional, the datacenter versions had the full 4096bit bus and 16 or 32GB of HBM
Ogh boy, been eager to see revisit of this old beast for ages!
Kitty is so cute.
It would be pretty cool for you to upgrade all the thermals and see how well it can OC. See if there's more in the tank. A good show case for Kryosheet too :p
channels all have Cats, you need that here ?
Battlefield 2042 has an in game FPS monitor, complete with CPU & GPU frame time & sim time. As well as graphs. You can turn them on in game console by pressing "~". You can stumble your way through by type "fps" & seeing all the options. You can find the proper commands online as well.
Honestly the increase in performance on the 4070 is amazing in some games like cyberpunk, but relatively minimal in games that were around the same time this was released. It goes to show how well developers optimize games for the current gen of hardware.
ayyyy. got one for cheap recently off a server farm. Loaned it to my friend to play Baldur's Gate before he got his new card. Pretty solid.
You completely missed the point of that gpu, try with fp64 workloads and you will see the difference. It also is competitive in fp16
I have Titan V with waterblock and shuntmodded with 2x5mohms resistors for both power plugs. It results with about 525W max power limit instead of stock 300W (75*2 + 150*2 + 75W). At 2100@1.093v card can draw 450W in gaming. Highest power draw I saw was in GPUPI in CUDA mode (PL2 state unlocked in nvinspector) and it was 500-525W with slight power throotle.
I did direct comparison with 3090 in metro exodus DX11 at 5k. 3090@1900mhz was about 40% faster than Volta@2100Mhz and 1000mhz HBM2 (58 vs 41FPS).
This guy contributes more to Global Warming than entire nations.
Why would you ever consider it??
niiiice !
I've got the exact same setup, bought it with shunt mods already installed. I'm running a custom fitted 280mm AIO to keep temps under control (40-50C under full load, hotspot around 70-75C)
What sort of temps do you get? I wish I could find a waterblock available somewhere.. love this card, apparently the only one in my country. Super rare!
@@cheesus-t6h Either for FP64 workloads or purely for fun. For me it was the latter.
Would love to see for science how the Titan RTX holds up today!
Would be cool to see if you can find a waterblock (or try fit an AIO if the HBM height isn't horrific) and shunt mod it, it was a financial mistake, but maybe you can try limit the "damage" by getting some more fun from it :) Clock was in the 1500 range a lot of the time, if it's like Pascal/Turing then should be able to get around 2GHz maybe with good cooling/power limit.
WOW! I still have 3 of them. I wad crazy mining back then. They paid for themselves back then. 😅
Oh, and its performance gets way better when you use liquid metal on it and replace the junk thermal pads with Thermalright pads. 👍🏾
Ah yes, Ngreedia, once again, proving that their products aren't worth even a small fraction of what they charge for them.
5:01 is ray tracing enabled?
The fact that raytracing presence needs clarity makes me question if I should ever use the RT now that I finally have a card that supports it XD
It's always fun looking back at what used to be mind blowingly fast hardware. I have a 4090 and Ryzen 7950x3d....the best you can buy today...it will be fun in 5-10 years to look back.
This was an excellent video not only for the information, but the amount of cat getting attention was perfect. More cat!
Marvelous looking card
Deserve to run inside high airflow case and cold room
This is really interesting. It’s amazing how capable it is so long after release.
Accounting for inflation the $3k price in 2017 would be $3.8k today.
I wonder how current $2k cards will compare to $600 cards in 6 years from now.
I love the new format of your channel - the cat videos
Excellent review. We also enjoyed the video card. :P We love Sheik!
Still have one, Pretty sure the cooler is the exact same heatsink (inside) as 1070/1080/1080Ti.
They become temperature limited pretty fast, you really have to crank the fans up to 70% or so to get the most out of it without going totally deaf.... That said if you think that's loud go and compare to a Tesla V100 in a datacenter rack.
I briefly had it watercooled which makes all the difference, but went back to air cooler for more compatability (so if anyone needs a spare waterblock..)
In gaming they're about the same as a 2080Ti which isn't surprising since Turing was based on Volta (they took away the compute and added a token amount of ray tracing).
rtx2080Ti: 4352sp x2 x2Ghz = *17.5Tflops* FP32
TitanV: 5120sp x2 x1.7Ghz = *17.4Tflops* FP32
(in single precision and lightweight tasks like games you'll run at higher clocks, unless you're temp/power limited like in the video, I have seen 2Ghz on mine under water and at the start of air cooled tests)
However the FP64 double precision is miles different.
rtx4090: 16384 x2 x2.6Ghz /64 = *1.3* Tflops
TitanV: 5120 x2 x1.41Ghz /2 = *7.2* Tflops
I've sold my rtx3090 but keeping the TitanV, with current prices I nearly bought another for NVlink (back when nvidia would let you buy multiple cards rather than force you to buy the new rtx5090 Ti super extreme for £4000).
Edit: also with a 815mmSq die (plus HBM2) it cost Nvidia a fortune to make these cards.
Now Nvidia is back to the far cheaper ~600mmSq dies using GDDR memory but still charge a fortune.
8:00 A thing of beauty is a joy for ever
Did the temperatures improve once the card when new TIM was applied? 🙂🤷♂️
Also where is the channel with additional cat content? 😁
"Hi and welcome back to another cat video." Best start to a graphics card review, ever. Big respect on your love of cats. 🙂
Forget the Titan, look that cute face ❤
Shunt Mod!! Would be interesting to see how it would do with more power and cooling.
came for the vid, stayed for the cat
Yea, a friend got one for cheap(at the time) at his job and it still runs most new fine at 1080p if you lower the settings a bit. It was truly a beast of its time
Awesome video, love it. As others in comments mentioned this card might not great for gaming but for compute especially FP64 its still a king, as such if it comes to it would be awesome to see some tests for compute work that benefits from it. Especially as it is the last relatively consumer oriented card that has FP64 performance, the only other cards with double precision unlocked are older Nvidia teslas or the the new A100 which is just incomparable for the price reasons. I do wish nvidia started doing again the FP64 unlocked cards, with them putting it on top of what used to be a quadro lineup, that way we get great cards for compute, without the data center oriented shrouds.
I can’t believe how old this card is now, I remember when this came out it blew my mind how powerful it was
Your content is really interesting. Keep it up!
would have been nice to see some memory speed and bandwidth comparisons :(
I enjoyed that retrospective. If you want to run it more quietly, mount it in a vertical orientation in a case like the Silverstone FT05. I'd be interested to see your perspective on the Titan X (being a glorified 980ti).
I bought a 1080 ti a few months the ago for $120 and on cp2077 on 1440p high I get a minimum of 30 fps. Why was this soo low? Driver issues?
Bro I'm a hardware nerd but couldn't focus on what you were saying because AWW the KITTY'S SO CUTE, YES (S)HE IS!
thanks for showing us this cards performance and value today
I was surprised to hear this described as "aging well" with performance like that. My 5700xt is only 1 year newer than this thing (based on how old you said it was), and it seems to have aged much much better; especially for the $400 I paid for it on launch. It's still kicking and they go for like, $100 used now. I'd say my $400 1070 aged better too, but it died after 2 years and don't seem to exist anymore. My 290X is still kicking somehow, too. And don't get me started with the amount of 580s my friends have that are still running the newest games somehow. I still remember when the older Titans were shown to me as a reason to regret buying the 290X lol. I can't believe anyone ever bought these things. Even the 4090 somehow manages to be a better value proposition..
The cat is great!
Subscribed.
1:14 One of the largest consumer tech retailers in my country had it in stock so I'm sure at least a few people bought them with the intention to just game.
How the tensor cores help the GPU?
Screw the GPU i wanna see the cat
What really gets me with that GPU is the die size. 815mm^2. This thing is a similar size to the H100. I used to own one. It was in a system that also had a Titan Xp installed. Work provided the Volta and I sadly had to give it back, but I bought the Xp with my own money and used it up until last last year when I bought a 7900XTX.
I bought one of these a few years ago for $700 on ebay because I never had $3k to buy a new one.
Coil whine was INSANE but performance was on par with the results you got.
I’m a sucker for LEDs and since the Titan V logo didn’t light up, I swapped back to my Titan Xp which was only slightly worse in performance.
great video! makes me feel better about all my "financial mistakes" (most of my GPU collection) lol. if you see, you will understand why.
The cat is so cute oh my god 😍
that's a beautiful cat
which titan ?
the left one or the right one ?
what do you use to measure your fps, looks cool
I saw one in a shop last year and was curious, but I'm not into collecting so the price was too much for me.
I don't recall exactly how it was marketed at the time but I don't think it was ever targeted at gaming. It would be more interesting to see it in workloads it was intended for vs gaming GPUs of the time and today.
nvidia's old cooler design was so good, man. i like the new ones too but those old 700, 900, etc series cards just looked cool as hell
What would be a new GPU comparable in performance to this old one?
Worth mentioning one was designed for workstation use and not gaming. I'm sure if you have one from your workstation days or still use it for a workstation but need to do some mid-to-high end gaming. It still performs well. Buying a new GPU a 4070 or 4070 super hands down.
That was interesting Corsair A115 ad 😺
can you do some benchmarks on the cat too? maybe a comparison video next to a non orange cat?
What about replacing that stock cooler with a waterblock? Maybe it would improve by allowing it to boost higher?
Even the paste looked a bit dry on that thing so maybe a repaste would help?
0:51 'We're done when I say we're done.'
I though everyone forgot about this card. Good idea to bench it to see where it lines up these days.
Oh my gosh, your cat is soo cute ! What a good boy
I won't lie... I really like seeing Der Cat. He's so fluffy and loveable, and he looks at GPU like he wants to do some serious gaming.
Anyway, speaking of GPUs... Using a 2080 right now and it's surprisingly good even today. Sure, it struggles a little with shadows sometimes, and ray tracing... But still a solid card for 1080p.
I'm curious to see more about the Titan RTX nowadays, being the only Titan released since RTX became a thing. From memory it was basically just a 24gb version of the 2080Ti with a little bit more performance, but I don't think many people bought it.
It also had the workstation-specific optimizations that the Titan series was known for. Sadly Nvidia then discontinued the Titans and replaced it with the RTX 90 series, which completely lack the workstation features that made the Titans such a good prosumer option.
I immediately went on eBay to see if I could pick one up. Found some as parts only and was still tempted just so I could have it in the collection. Must be something about the 10 series in Gold...
for viewers: if you're into older card, may I suggest getting the 1080ti 11gb which still valid today (and perhaps another few more years to come) use the almost latest graphics drivers and install the software to adjust the card to always run at 50% fan speed on idle, and boost up on higher clock speeds.
thinking about the age of the card shoulnt you have changed the thermal paste first before running the test ?
Peak of gpu design. (Also, the other FE cards too from gtx 700 to 1000, and the titan cards in those times, oh and dont forget the 690).
The same card that showed that it does not need RT cores for ray tracing. With the largest chip for a serial card (815 mm) and a beautiful PCB, with an incredible cost of $3000 and which is weaker than the 2080 Ti in games. Now it's a museum piece for an Nvidia card collector.
I got a small collection of cards! This is the 1 like to add but only at a way cheaper price so it'll probably be years before i can add! My favorite out of all the cards i own is probably evga 980ti kingpin! Its such a beautiful card
I love those cat videos with a little bit of tech inside 🤣🥺
Was RT on for the Cyberpunk test? Cause the water effects when going outside looks like RT is on.
Best & last GPU to support native 3D Vision.
Damn those clocks are low. It'd be interesting to see this thing under water. You think most Pascal blocks would fit? The performance is closer to my OC'd 1080 than I expected.
my titan Xp is still holding it down in 2024! its finally showing its age though, im looking to upgrade finally.
What about for workloads other than gaming?
Isn't that also the first card to feature Tensor cores?
best buy i make so far. here on my machine still strong and fun to play.
for 200$ would make a great set up, i found one for 375&
Love this content! Thx!
I still have my 1080 TI water cooled GTX card and it still kick ass but it is starting to show its age which for 6 years is normal and actually good because it's still kicking butt!
one thing is for sure- it looks incredible
New games and new cards usually benefit from driver optimizations. Whereas new games don't get optimized drivers with old cards so much. Games that have been out for awhile will most likely still show optimizations, even if they haven't been updated for these old cards in awhile. Comparing unoptimized, but compatible games, does give insight into how much the raw performance is.
Looks like your cat really enjoys the hot air coming from the card. 😂 It also looks like a Lamborghini if you look at it from the Air intake side. Surely was special. But i settled with a GTX 1070, which i replaced with an AMD card last year.
