Nvidia GeForce GTX TITAN Owners' club

-Home for the owners of the most powerful GPUs on the planet.


Form here (only fill if you have the necessary info)



Useful info:

  • BIOS flashing guide and fixes for broken flashes (Click to show)
    QUICK BIOS FLASHING GUIDE:

    I will not take any responsibility for damages caused by flashing the BIOS. Use the guide and the BIOS files at your own risk, this will void your warranty.

    What you need: GPU-Z, Nvflash

    The following guide is for single GPUs. If you wish to flash multiple cards please do so one at a time or see the Nvflash readme for further instructions on how to use the commands to properly flash multiple card systems. Don't type in the bracket but type in the info in the brackets. The commands are case sensitive and you need to include the spaces, please be accurate.

    1. Backup your old BIOS (GPU-Z, BIOS version field, button on the right allows you to save the current bios). Keep the old bios in the event that something happens during the flash.
    2. Download the new BIOS you'll be flashing to, it should be a .rom file, otherwise the flash will not work.
    3. Browse to your Nvflash folder
    4. Transfer the new BIOS file into the Nvflash folder
    5. Close all unnecessary programs
    6. Shift + right-click the Nvflash folder
    7. choose the open in command line option
    8. Type in the command: Nvflash --protectoff (case sensitive, please be accurate)
    9. Type in the command: Nvflash -4 -5 -6 [yourbiosnamehere].rom
    10. If the flash is a cross vendor one you might have to type in y a couple of times when asked to
    11. Nvflash will work for a while and close the 2nd command prompt after finishing
    12. Reboot
    13. Your card should now be flashed, test with Precision X or afterburner to see if the BIOS is stable for you
    14. Some flashes might need driver reinstalls afterwards, don't be alarmed, just install the drivers as usual

    If the flash goes wrong


    1. Shut down your system
    2. Take out the GPU
    3. Install a 2nd PCI-E GPU in the first slot (preferably Nvidia)
    4. Install the Titan to the 2nd PCI-E slot
    5. You should now have 2 cards in your system
    6. Plug in all the power connectors and other needed connectors
    7. Plug in your primary monitor cable to the card in the 1st slot (not Titan)
    8. Start up the computer
    9. Boot into windows
    10. Browse to the Nvflash folder
    11. Remove the earlier BIOS file and transfer your original BIOS (.rom file!) there
    12. Close all unnecessary programs
    13. Shift + right-click the Nvflash folder
    14. Choose the open in command line option
    15. Type in the command: Nvflash --protectoff
    16. At this point Nvflash will open up a new command prompt and display what cards you have in your system
    17. Select the card you wish to fix (usually done by typing in 0, 1, 2 etc.)
    18. The command prompt will close
    19. Type in the command: Nvflash -4 -5 -6 -i[yourcardsnumberhere] [yourbiosnamehere].rom
    20. If the flash is cross vendor you might have to type in y a couple of times when asked to
    21. Nvflash will now take a while to update the BIOS on the broken card
    22. After it's done shut down your computer
    23. remove the cards from the computer
    24. Put the fixed Titan in
    25. Boot to windows and see if everything is back to normal

I ordered mine about 3 minutes after the NDA was lifted but I don't physically have the card yet tongue.gif

Just making a club thread so the owners can talk about the card without needing to shift trough pages upon pages of price discussions...

I got an early pre-order in at ncix. Hopefully early enough for the first batch.

I also noticed ncix had a Titan listed from Zotac. I thought it was only evga and asus in North America.

Look forward to comparing it to my 7970 ghz.

According to the benchs I saw, its price difference from the 7970 GHz doesn't justify its cost, 7970 GHz in crossfire should demolish a single titan, and it's around 900$ give or take.

I used to luv ATI/AMD Video Products. But that was then, this is now. I'll never own another one unless the problems they always seem to have get fixed...madsmiley.png
Which is crummy because side by side in identical Rigs except for video and using Identical Monitors, the AMD card "clearly" looked better...

Count me in. 1 asus on pre-order.
