Just so you know it's not correct to spread thermal paste. You always dallop it, either in a single blob in the middle, or seperate blobs for larger dies.

Good choice, definitely a cool card to look at. I hope some years down the line that a channel like yours or RandomGaminginHD will be able to look at the Titan V CEO Edition.

Was thinking of seeing if I could find one of those for the lulz of experiencing it. You saved me the time and money :D Great vid as always man!

"9900K" "Yep, we have one of these" xDD

Pretty crazy how it had 12gigs all those years ago, even the 3080 had less

You are such a breath of fresh air my dude! Definitely my favorite pc/tech channel by a long shot. Lots of charisma and energy so don’t change a thing!

Thanks for the video, Joe. Always enjoy your dual GPU videos! :D

loved the fast forward music btw but always great videos kido....

When you put the 2070S in front of the Titan Z, my whole concept of reality was shaken. I always assumed the Z to be the biggest 'consumer' GPU I could ever dream and then the MSI Card came in.

That pcb tho, filled to the absolute brim.

i love the way you look at more of the older hardware than newer

I LOVE the way you handle hardware!!

I heard you can get some amazing results from Vega 56 and 64 to some crazy levels of performance. Great video as always and I hope you can get better SLI testing on your 9900K.

Very good video dude

I wanna know what's going wrong with the profile inspector. Never seen it this bad. But great video timmy 👍

Dude that benchmark music is fire! I'm curious as I haven't messed with SLI/Crossfire in a few years. I see a lot of way over the top builds by some other tech tubers, using dual 2080ti's. I take it that all for show ?

Dude, 3000 USD for a wallhack for Fortnite, a complete bang 4 the buck.

how do you get those high speed panning shots? Good camera work (or post work), mayne

WHAT'S GOING ON IT'S TIMMY JOE THE PUTER PARTZ GUY!!!!!!!

I worked with a guy who bought one of these during the GPU shortage in 2020 for $2500. I tried to explain how ripped off he got but he wouldn't hear it. He also used it to play The Division 2 on 4k with a 5200rpm HDD and not an SSD.

Love how it has one fan...

Hey Timmy Joe, what kind of thermal paste did you use on the Titan? I need to do my card soon. It's going on 5 years lol.

I just had a Radeon HD 5970 on my test bench. Honestly, it wasn't as loud as I was expecting. I don't remember if you played around with one but its definitely a step up from the card it replaced, the 4870x2. I think the biggest reason for that was the move from two solid copper finned blocks to a single aluminum finned vapor chamber. It made a pretty significant difference in what I saw. Still, the HD 4870x2 with the custom Arctic cooler for it does perform better but that cooler couldn't have been cheap to buy for how large it is. I've never seen a Titan Z before, it looks pretty awesome! Nvidia's old reference cooler just looks so nice. Even now, my GTX 780s in SLI just look awesome in a case. It makes me with my HAF XM had a windowed side panel. Its such a premium look. Not that the new reference cooler isn't bad, it just doesn't look quite as premium. At least to my eye.

Asome video Timmy joe. 😁

Could you use Titan Z as a dedicated card for some software or physics or something?

Wow it would be like buying a $600.00 GPU Every 12 Months. To rich for me lol. Great video TJ, nice to see that old tech still kicking. Cheers!

A new month has started... So you can make this dual GPU month then.. if it works with your 9900K when you get the mobo... Or find an older rig for cheap and use that....

Have you tried explicit multi GPU with a card like this?

I was wondering for a while if it would be possible to make a cooling solution for a graphics card that uses a type of fan that is used in the indoor part of an air conditioner? You know the fan that looks like a tube? It could be mounted on the side of the card that is facing the side panel and would go the enire lenght of the card... could that work? Just wondering. Great video by the way☺️

You're gonna dig that 9900k, that's what I use and its a beast

I'm thinking the new architecture AMD that is coming out is going to be awesome. I could be wrong but you never know. I bought 2 Radeon Vll cards so I'll be running those for awhile in a custom loop. They're not running on the same motherboard but going to be in a 2 system case. Keep up on the great videos I like seeing how the older stuff compares to today's hardware

So glad you revisited this card!! Been searching for some results in newer games, but couldn't find anything on KZfaq, no wonder Nvidia nuked this cards with no driver support. Interesting could someone sue Nvidia for this, i mean 3000$ for a product which meant to be absolute beast and only couple years later you just can't use it, i mean you can.. but you can't utilize it fully

did you tried nvidia inspector using same games with same or similar engine ? should be better

That's got an sli connector on it lolz what would happen if u added more of those cards together? wait only 1 not 2 connectors is it an sli con or sumtin else?

Just curious Tim if you tried any rendering? Like Adobe or Blender? Maybe the card is possibly still really good for applications sorta like that. However I was very surprised after your testing that people paid 3k for this thing and some games arent even playable. Granted its older but it should still perform very well. Specially fortnite! Crazy, but good shit man love watching your channel 👍

Hey Timmy Joe can you do a video about the cool new features from AMD like RIS, Input Lag and AMD Link ? That would be cool!

*_GPU with those designs are always sexy looking_*

Just a little tip. I do own on of these since 2016. You cannot use a driver higher then 385.69. That is actually why you are getting glitches and artifacting. They changed something in their drivers wich causes problems on cards with a PLX chip on them (GTX690/Titan Z) Nvidia knows there is a problem, they even have it in every release note of their drivers under unresolved issues. Just imagine buying a 3500$ GPU in 2015 and 2 years later it's not supported anymore and Nvidia doesn't give a shit.

Could you run 2 of these in SLI?

i thought about buying 1 of these for my rig and shit a brick when i saw what people wanted for them and i just bought a vega 64 instead

It would be sweet to see a powercolor devil 13 390x2 reviewed

Ive been gifted two of these (no joke) what the frek am I going to do with them now that the 30 series are out?

I miss dual GPU cards. I never owned one because lol the price is never worth it, but they were cool. also holy balls that music is on point TJ

I've been using the z370 Aorus Gaming 7 with 3 different sets of SLI cards and its been flawless. High-end z370-z390 Gigabyte boards seem to be solid with SLI or CFX. This board has had no problems running 2 GTS 450's, 2 Nitro+ RX 480 8GB OC's in CFX and i even dropped 2 Gigabyte Aorus Extreme 2080's running at 2200MHz each on that board and not one hiccup. Other than with the titles that don't support SLI or CFX I even threw a 9900K in there and it runs just fine"N"diddy. It has 8 60A Intersil ISL99227B's Smart Power Stages for the Vcore and the ISL69138 for the PWM. Plus the Cooper Bussmann 76A inductors (chokes). Even though this board is a 4+2 doubled to an 8+2phase. The doublers are the ISL6617A's which have over current protection with current balancing, among a plethera of other logic built in. The z370 Aorus Gaming 7 uses the same exact components as the x299 Aorus Gaming 7 Pro. and of course the z390-x299 eVGA DARK boards. (480A's) is plenty for the 9900K. Going with a high-end z370 board like the Aorus Gaming 7 is not a problem what so ever. Either i hit the VRM lottery or the Micro Center I get my components from has binned Intel i7 8700K's and 9900K's. I Got the 8700K for $280 and the 9900K for $400 and bought the Aorus Gaming 7 for $145 that even had bent pins and was returned. Also the z390 Designare to go with the 9900K. Just for fun I wanted to test the 9900K on the z370 Aorus Gaming 7 because most people were having VRM throttling issues. Not me. I did notice that the VRM heat sink had the thermal pad replaced with a Laird thermal pad. The ones that Gigabyte uses on all there z390 and x570 boards. I guess that was just a bonus. Running the. 8700K at 5.3GHz with 1.380v reaching 93° on AIR. Not just Air but with a 11 year old (new) ZALMAN CNPS 9900MAX. Its a Gaming rig so no need really to run it at that speed. So I dropped it back to 5GHz with 1.250v 75°c under max stress. 1.250v at 5GHz and 1.380 at 5.3GHz. This chip is better than any Silicon Lottery binned chip on the list. I was definitely surprised and glad to get such good chips. On top of that, none of these CPU's are dilided. I then dropped in the 9900K. and whattayaKnow. 5.2GHz not passing 95°c with 1.3780v. with the VRM not passing 85°c. This is running Prime with small fft's. So basically no one's gonna run there Gaming PC like this. So i give it a pass. Testing the z390 Designare had no issues with SLI or CFX either. Ever since the dual GPU vids started, i've been collecting GPU's along with a ton of other stuff like motherboards, CPU's, Cases and monitors. What else am i gonna spend my money on. Especially when im getting prices that can't be beat. I just bought 2 RTX 2080 Aorus Extremes for $620 a peice. Those are $800 cards. Also just grabbed a Power Color Red Devil 5700XT for $370. I'm very lucky to have a GOLD mine right down the street. They might all be open-box parts but, you can still register every component with the manufacturer's base warranty. People forget that. Anyway love the content. Like always. Keep up with the great vids. I would become a patreon but i gotta flip a couple of these PC's first.

we miss you timmy

Have you tried using those cards with age appropriate cpus.

@Timmy Joe PC Tech I have one of those! But sadly it died... so now it just sits on my desk like Tech Syndicates 8800GTX 🤣

Don't worry brother, keep on doing your thing and you will be reviewing a Titan V.

I really hope someday we will see some sort of ryzen scaling for GPUs

The nice song at 02:03 onward = Elfl - Transhumanism

my friend bought this when it first came out i remember him paying 2500$ or so at micro center .

I have one laying around almost brand new, sadly no box or anything else left. It's heavy AF for an old card like this.

I kind of always loved the principle of dual GPU cards, even as far back as stuff like the 3dfx voodoo 5500 and even the esoteric as heck Rage Fury Maxx, in principle. Most recently i snagged up a 690 because i was able to get one for $68 shipped compared to $130ish for a 680. Unfortunately, the intended build project it was to go into (on an Asus P5WD2-E board), it refused to output anything. I was able to confirm it worked in every other machine, but that. And frustratingly, Radeon 7990 cards are still $200+, which makes no damned sense considering how Crossfire has always seemed to work worse than the nvidia equivalent. Timmy Joe, i have to admit i would envy your collection.

Can you please make a video that explains the differences between Nvidia Game Ready and Nvidia Studio Drivers?

Can you do a test of ATI Radeon HD 4870x2?

well people also talked shit to the Titan X and Xp... but these cost like half this card new!!! so the X and Xp were at least somewhat worth it for the Power they gave us back then and even now...

2022...i got one for $80 in Toronto....scores !!

Why u didn't show the power ussage???

I did ran 290x xfx CF 8gb before one of the fan die by accident. I blew the fan motor when I was using the blower to clean the dust off when my PC turn on by my cat pouncing a blue light.

What happened to dx12 and being able to use any 2 GPUs together? Did any game ever utilise that?

Timmy, get the Gigabyte Z390 UD motherboard, freaking awesome VRMs!! Or Z370 boards are super cheap right now used. I just got the Fatality Z370 mini-itx for $100. Not to bad for Thunderbolt 3.

I had some pretty good luck with SLI using two GTX 580 3GBs in Vermintide 2, Destiny 2, and Kingdome Come Deliverance.

ah its really interesting I've only recently got in to the world of PC hardware and lumped some real cash on my system I kinda hope it stays the course a little longer than that did lol but yeah what they gonna come up with next

You know, if you keep pushing those Maxwell cards higher, you will get past the point of "diminishing returns", and start to gain performance again. To a point. Maxwell is a monster! It likes more power too! Should be able to hit at least 1300MHz on the cores, being as they were binned/matched by Nvidia for that card. Or just go all Buildzoid on it, and solder an EVGA E-Power to it!

you should really get a electric air duster at this point

right click perf. Compatibilly check Disable fullscreen op.

so what was the die in the middle of the 2 gpu chips?

A year or 2 ago I remember LTT saying the titan z was poor man's tesla I guess it had a commpute niche

oh man, I forgot this was a thing. lol

I bet it crushes the stalker series for multiple reasons

Back when I used to use 2 gtx 460's in sli, AFR2 was by far the most successful way of getting 2 cards to work when they shouldn't, the Nvidia inspector hacks were always hit and miss, mostly miss for me

I recently ran a test of a GTX 1070. On a 6700 non K system with an EVGA GTX 1070 SC, I was able to get 312.91 FPS in CS:GO with all the graphics settings set to the highest options. I bought the GTX 1070 used for $192 US shipped off of eBay. So, the Titan Z doesn't perform as well as a $192 graphics card. I bought three GTX 1070's to put in used PC's I was selling as gaming PCs. All of them were $190-$196 shipped. I tried 3 way SLI and didn't get impressive results even after the Nvidia Inspector modifications. Nvidia updated the drivers so that you don't need Nvidia Inspector for 3 way SLI in some benchmarks. Those worked better than trying 3 way SLI with games. I really wish more newer games would support DX12 explicit multi GPU. That looks like an actual useful technology. You don't even need the exact same GPU. I tried it with a GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 ti and saw significant improvements in the game that nobody buys to play and everyone uses as a benchmark, AOTS: Escillation.

Probably because of GPU boost 10.0 or whatever there are none, noone has done an identicle MHz comparison compared to other gen GPUs. Itd be interesting to see the IPC gain per clock.

Try disabling motion blur. That's what the glitching in Battlefield looks like to me, so maybe the motion blur function in some games is causing issues with SLI with the latest NVIDIA drivers so try turning motion blur off to see if it fixes it.

A good deal of VR titles work very well with SLI/CrossFire, allowing 1 GPU per eye rendering.

Just works

I have GTX Titan X 12 Gb GDDR5 Graphic Card, this card still a beast

I treat my graphics card like a baby when I move it around. this dude just bangs them up not giving a fuck lol.

there's sli fingers on it. get a second one and see how it does

Hey Timmy Joe.. I have an MSI MEG ACE Z390 I could give ya a good deal on.. Let me know bud!

thats looks like a driver issue or the card itself could be damaged i have used sli with twin 1080ti's evga ftw3 and i havent had any issues besides your occasional micro stutter but yeah i always used nvidia profile inspector to so yeah shouldn't be that

How much better would this Titan X perform than what I have which is a GTX 1080?

Guys, a friend of mine has a spare titan z and I'm thinking of changing my 750ti for that one, do you think it's worth it?, I mean, it's not a big upgrade but does it have cons if I switch?

Amd pro duo 8gb stock and overclock please?

I thought the titan v had dual chips?

I always have a weakness with dual GPU cards.

Lighting is what broke AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering) which was more or less required for Crossfire and SLI to work. New Forward+ techniques and other "tile" based techniques produce workloads that cannot be split between two Graphics processors (on a per frame basis) as information from one frame needs to be relayed to the other GPU and vice versa.The way around this is DX12 Multi-GPU but it is barely supported. DX12 Multi-GPU rendering techniques act sort of like NUMA does for CPUs in that the game see's just one large assortment of GPU Cores and work is scheduled similarly to how Asynchronous Computing schedules work for the GPU cores in that idling resources are given work and thus utilized more effectively keeping the entire GPU array fed and busy. So work is not split into GPU1 = Frame1, GPU2 = Frame2, GPU1 = Frame3 etc but rather both GPUs acting as a single array of cores and working on each frame, or multiple frames if resources permit, more effectively. The problem with this is that game developers have to code for asynchronous computing, it's not automatic, so the job of optimizing the proper use of idling resources falls onto the developer. This means more man hours to optimize code which results in longer deadline and higher costs. With such a limited market making use of multi-gpu... this makes little sense. If memory serves me right, Battlefield1 works with Crossfire and SLI when run in DX11 mode. Strange Brigade, on the other hand, works with multi-GPU when run in DX12 or maybe it was Vulkan or maybe even both (I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere).

Well even if SLI doesn't work anymore, this card will always be good for one thing: workstation that and especially workstation that involves DP workloads. DP performance on this card is not cut down, unlike all other titans and Nvidia "gaming" GPUs that came after that.

You would think that they atleast would have had dual fans on a dual gpu card. And for 3 grand they should have included a pair of extra thick headphones to cancel out the noise of that single fan @ 3000 rpm.

So thermal paste replaced but thermal pads reused? lol

*Cries In SLI*

Titan z hashrate?

Some people would call this a techno porn with this sexy naked dual gpu.

I wanna get every titan card and make a wall of fame

I would argue due to the lack of SLI support in most modern games that in many cases it would be outclassed by like a $120 RX 580 if with both working it only hits 980ti to 1070 numbers, maybe I'm, wrong.

Dang TJ you have been gone a hot sec

Rip if you owned this

I am running Crossfire RX 580's. 90%+ games run great, 150-200% verses 1 card. 4K runs great. I was benching Shadow if the Tomb Raider As I watched this video! DX12 has Multi-GPU support (which is Not "Crossfire") and most DX12 games run great. Was I just lucky?

do some jank APu/hybrid crapfire tests

im confused why does sli support matter if i only have 1 of these card?
