Use this BIOS if you want to avoid throttling. For flashing instructions see Page 1 of the Titan-X owner's club.

Be sure to use the nvflash utility posted there as well.

THIS BIOS IS INTENDED FOR WATERCOOLING/BENCHING USE. Not recommended if you're on the stock air cooler.

Use PX or AB to dial in your +core and power target percentage. There is no need to adjust the voltage.

This BIOS is intended for those who want to max out their OC on the stock cooler.

- Based on EVGA 980 Ti SC reference BIOS
- 1.250v at load
- 425W at 121% - 350W at 100%

To use this simply set +core, +mem, and power target in PX or AB. No need to touch voltage; the BIOS will provide 1.250v at load.

Stock Boost Clock: 1291mhz (will not boost to 1493mhz like my earlier bios)

Have tested for the past 6 hours to make sure completely stable. please give it a try and share results. Thanks!

I have the EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC Reference installed and have been testing it. I have the EVGA GTX 980 Hybrid and EVGA GTX 980 SC+ with Backplate coming on Friday. W00t! I won't be keeping all of them so I'd be open to getting rid of a few

 

[b.walker36]

Hopefully I'll be joining soon. If i sell my iPhone 4s and galaxy S4 then I'll be at 450 towards the cost at which point I'll order a non reference as soon as available.

 

[gooface]

I am getting mine today! Cant wait to retire my 780 from my main machine. I got the EVGA ACX 2.0+ SC+ Backplate

 

[bodine1231]

Some quick tests compared to my Titan X...

Witcher 3 completely maxed settings @ 1440p -
60 min Novigrad square 77 max
75 min Dead Mans Tree 85 max

With a single Titan X I was getting dips of around 45 in the middle of Novigrad square with the avg rate in the high 50's,walking around the city it was low 60's,this is with Hairworks OFF on the Titan!. With the dual 980ti's it never goes below 60 and stays in the high 70's/low 80's walking around the city (Hairworks ON).

Just running around the world with a single Titan X and Hairworks ON I get mid 60's with the rarel dip into the 50's. With the 980ti's it never goes below 75 and is almost always in the 80's.

GTA V maxed with 2x MSAA and TXAA on @ 1440p
63 min driving around with traffic near Michaels house 95 max. It stays in the 80 range most of the time. If I turn off TXAA and MSAA its in the 100's.
Single Titan X would dip into the 50's and stay in the upper 60's with MSAA and TXAA off.

 

[Krazee]

I just ordered mine yesterday from Newegg, the SC version. I can't wait. So is there a back plate that works with this card?

 

[blado]

I'll order one if I can ever find it in stock. I'm keeping at tab open on nowinstock to see if a 980 ti w/ acx 2.0 comes back in stock, but I'm thinking I might just order a reference card.

 

[chef1702]

Is it possible, that one of you could upload the bios. I'm very interested in the difference between the titan x one.

 

[Rickles]

I feel like I lucked out in getting mine ordered on Sunday when they first hit the nvidia site, though a nice aftermarket cooler would have been ok too.

Perhaps the stock cooler will be the push I need to get back into water.

I'll upload the EVGA SC tonight.

I'll upload the EVGA Hybrid and SC+ on Friday.

No rush. Take some time to get out there and enjoy them.

 

[naved777]

Is EVGA ACX 2.0 SC with backplate worth the extra 30$ over the reference? I will be putting the cards under water.

Probably not, but I guess it depends... you would need to find another set of screws (I would guess) if you plan on using the backplate with the waterblocks.

 

[EDGERRIES]

Nice work Rickles

Just ordered 2x Evga Sli 980 ti's. Eta Tuesday will submit proof on arrival!

Awesome news! I cannot wait for my two SC's!

 

[majin662]

Once mine gets here from the egg will be joining all proper like.

Sad to the 780 go. She served well. The king is dead. Long live the king.

Id stop playing witcher until it arrives but aint nobody got time for that

 

[-terabyte-]

I'm planning of getting 2 of these soon together with a 21:9 3440x1440 monitor. Can someone with this kind of screen post some games benchmarks with single/SLI configurations please?

High time I replace my *cough* Sapphire 6870 *cough*

Ill take your reference SC, Newegg keeps shooting back my second order for my card even though it says back in stock before and after I order it. Managed to get the first order through into shipped, tracking shows that it will be here on the 10th!. Sending you a PM now.

 

[xonare]

I'm buying 980 Ti Hybrid from EVGA when it's available in EU, cause now it's not possible to order it... I'll post more when get my hands on it.
The wait for availability is frustrating...

I like the stock cooler. It's sexy. I confess though that Saturday my 980ti may get a coat of falt black to match it's older brother.

I am terribly sad that these don't have backplates like the 980's do for the same level card but I can add a nice one later or when I decided to put my system under water.

Thx Rickles! I just haven't had the time to get this up. Much appreciated.

I should have dropped the extra for faster delivery.
