After some thought I've placed an order for eight Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 14 Pro High Static Pressure 140mm Fans and one Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 12 Pro High Static Pressure 120mm Fan, together with a Thermaltake Commander FP 10-Port Hub for PWM Fans: (These ended up being a bit more expensive than the …

So my question is the following: In the case where these GPU's are CPU bottlenecked to the extreme, will the difference in memory throughput (as well as the higher CUDA Core count on the TITAN) be an overriding factor when it comes to real world performance? Remember that the goal here is to get …

In that case Titan all the way, it was almost two times more expensive at launch :) and matches the theme much better. I'm thinking the same thing! I already have a Maxwell version in one of my other machines which I bought when it was released! https://i.imgur.com/gLa36rP.jpg However, one of these …

Two P4 xeons, so at the end of the day you will reach performance somewhere around $20 office Dell computer with 2GHz Core2 :], Geforce 8800 would be perfect. >The ZOTAC 1080 Ti clearly has better theoretical performance, but the TITAN XP has this is just paper stats, cant even reach it in …

Just to summarise, I'm in the process of doing something crazy, as I'm wanting to pair a modern GPU with a dual NetBurst Xeon from 2005. The purpose of this exercise is to achieve the absolute maximum performance that I can from this system. This is the Motherboard that I'll be using for this …

The Serpent Rider wrote on 2023-09-23, 09:04: Making the TITAN XP the obvious better choice in this case. Well, also no. Because some custom 1080Ti have much larger power limit, with 2x/3x 8-pin connectors, and better cooler. Please give me the model number of the card you have in mind?

Titan Xp has one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCIe connector. P6000 has one 8-pin connector which already works over official spec (175w). Ok I understand! That would probably also require it to draw more power off the PCIe slot, which I certainly don't want! (I have seen a motherboard damaged in this way …

If Pascal is as far as I'll be able to push it, then the Quadro P6000 is the best card that can be slotted here: (It's slightly more powerful than the TITAN XP) Absolutely not, because power limits on Quadro cards are very tight. Also it has slower memory. When you state power limits, what exactly …

Well, if Pascal could work, there's not much of a difference with Turing or Ampere. You can launch Quake II RTX for example or other ray-tracing modded games with Vulkan support. An RTX card such as the TITAN V would have been really, really nice, just to allow for raytracing on such a system, but …

It would be really nice if someone around here could test a Pascal GPU on a system such as this one, just to show that it would indeed work! (If worst comes to absolute worst, I do have a Maxwell version of the TITAN X already! 😀 )

You can install anything up to RTX 3090 Ti on Windows 7. But support of anything beyond Maxwell family of chips on classic BIOS is shaky. Therefore RTX cards make absolutely no sense in a machine such as this one, as you're stuck with DirectX 11! Vulkan works fine with ray-tracing and all. I'm …

I know that this is pure insanity, but I'm now considering the TITAN XP as the card for this machine: (It will be bottlenecked to death by the NetBurst CPU's, but I'm really trying to bruit force things as much as I possibly can here!!!) I may be wrong, but as far as I've seen, RTX -Type cards won't …
