THIS. Can't believe Proceu didn't mention this. This card is for natively driving CRTs and/or Windows XP machines and is the most powerful card you can possibly get for those two purposes. It will absolutely slay every other card competing in those two areas. Getting this card for anything other than that though is going to be disappointing. The Titan X is definitely best treated as a beast-mode legacy card that can also handle some modern duties.
During the GPU crash I managed to buy one for $200 to hold me over and I was shocked how well it did. The vram and bus width really helps it with modern games and texture packs. Mine was also a overclocking beast. Once the GPU crash was over and 40 series was announced I found a 3090 strix oc for $700 in perfect condition so I use that now but put the Titan X into an overpowered windows Xp/ win 7 dual boot x79 HEDT build
I got a sli setup,with fx8350 does great.I cant get above 1080p on high setting,but always at 60fps and Elden ring and days gone do not utilize second card that much,But RDR2 and earlier games fully utilized.I bought a ryzen 7 mobo and 3060 to compare,and will throw my old hardrive windows 7 in the sli setup.Plays great in sli
I still got this card in my PC. An overclocked model. Cleaned it, replaced the thermal paste. Still going strong in 1440p. Absolutely loved it when I bought it, still do. The 12 GB VRAM buffer remained unchallenged for quite a while. And it seems strange that many cards still don't have it. I had the original GTX Titan before it, gave it to my brother. Kind of wish I waited for the Pascal version a bit at the time. Was impatient. But all 3 are great cards.
Maxwell was pretty special back then. (Had the GTX 970) I usually stayed away from the blower style cards because of that heat limiting performance factor. Thanks for the excellent review Proceu Tech. I really enjoyed the informative video. I now have a good idea how the Titan X was and is today. Son's of the Forest looks interesting. Peace!
As a user of this card (a 1st party nvidia maxwell) I'm actually surprised you had to go to such extremes to get it to perform as it is. I use the blower and only ever top around 75-80c at 1403mhz core/7950mhz mem. You may have gotten a lower binned chip in yours with a lower ASIC% perhaps.
yeh I have them in sli and a pc with 1070s sli. The clock speed is 2025 on the 1070s but the memory is only 4400mhz 8g compared to the 7950mhz and 1500mhz clock on the titans.They preform the same untill you need the memory or vram.
Been running this card since I bought it in 2015, every year I say "I'm going to upgrade and build a new top-end PC" and every year I decide it's still keeping me going :) Gaming aside, if anything, it's the issues I'm getting with Photoshop not supporting such an old card that will finally push me to upgrade...
You have to use cooler master cryo fuze purple box put a generous amount and the GPU will stay under thermal throttling temps I'm talking serious low temps at idle is high power CPU is at 20c -30c
bought this one recently for like 120e, stock cooling not so good (85´C), with a bit tweak on fan-curve temp are quite better (74´C) but hearing quite hissing of fan :))
Ive had this card since like 2015 and its still going strong, the watercooler died so i went back to air cooling and its back in action. I just now upgraded to a 4k TV so i may finally need to upgrade to be able to play at 4k, but it can handle 1080p no problem on new games.
Bought a nother 1070 sc cheap now I have both titans and 1070s sli clock is faster on 1070 but Maxwell can handle way more textures when changing resolution scaling.
People who say stuff like can't future proof are lying or ignorant,monsters like 1080-ti destroy 1080p 2080-2070/3070/3080/4060-4080 also destroys 1080 and runs 1440 great these cards were meant to last for years it's multiple vids showing they run games great using high settings which is the setting people should all be using since max has been dead for like 8 years it's multiple vids showing it's not a big difference from max I just upgraded to a Monster 3080 2 years ago from a GTX 1080 I had since the month it came out I was getting great fps using 1440 high in every game I only upgraded cause I needed the newer tech for upscaling

As a user of this card ( can play any games with decent quality, but when I buy Hogwarts Legacy I can’t even play it ! And the game turn off it self ) so I don’t know should I upgrade my gpu or keep it?
I had a Maxwell previously (GTX970) and i wouldn't keep them. One of the reasons is the Vulkan driver regression which affected i think Yuzu, Switch emulator. The regression affected Pascal and Maxwell and on Pascal it was fixed within a handful months, which is not great and is already a sign of neglect; but on Maxwell one and a half years later the regression is still there, emulator crashes. FSR2 upscaling is functional but degraded on Maxwell compared to newer GPUs, and there are performance bugs abound, especially in conjunction with DX12 Compute, as seen in performance of Cyberpunk. Maxwell is dying.
Dude why are you on 4800 on the CPU that's crazy high dude what heck you already at 59 60 c that high dude your bottle necking the true performance of the Titan benchmark this on a x79 platform with a 4930k youll see a big difference
The 12gb of ram makes it able to play any game with ultra textures. Love this card.
lol it was like 4090 back in the day that's why also it was expensive
@@aspirewot8408 Alright
ark survival evolved saying its enough for epic graphics preset is crazy
Max been dead for like 8 years no reason to use when high looks almost the same
@@cmoneytheman ultra textures and draw distance is the only things I usually put at ultra maybe shadows depending.
I like that you did low settings with ultra textures to show the absolute best performace you can get while still making using of the 12gb of vram.
It's also the latest and greatest card that will properly output to VGA like for CRT monitors. (and has windows xp drivers with a little tinkering)

Yes, it is the best GPU ever... and my main PC is still Windows XP based with dual monitor setup: one 15 CRT and Asus 16" OLED.

I still have this card in a PC I built in early 2015 and it still holds up even at 2k res on a super ultra-wide monitor even.
Same well i use 2560x1080 but its based and its slightly less than 1440p so i have a lotta leeway with settings
had this gpu since it was brand new 7 years ago had mine overclocked its enitre life to 1410 mhz and plsu 600 on the vram

I just repasted mine and set a higher fan curve it's at like 1207 it sits about at 79c not bad

I will never give up on sli. I got my 2 3090tis and my 2 titan x maxwells. :)
I have sli Titans going ,love it.
Im playing on one right now
Same
do you say cyberbug ? sounds like it
I said it in this video a couple of times by mistake. Oops

I don't know, 1070 would have cost about the same right if not less? And it's really much nicer.

To properly use Resize Bar you also need to enable above 4G decoding.. not everyone is aware of this
Please link some of the 3rd party coolers you mentioned.
Eh mine Boosts to 1207 with stock cooler i did replace thermal paste and increase fan curve but you cant hear that crap while playing games.
I just got 2 cards for 175$. Will be getting a SLI bridge for the two

The nvidia blower card cooler is absolute trash. Too bad they didn't make thirdparty brands of the model like MSI, ASUS, EVGA, etc
i have a guy selling one to me in like 40 bucks is it worth?
40? Do it
If u don’t I will
Could you share the parts that you used to mod the cooling for the card, thanks 🙏
NZXT Kraken G12 and a ThermalTake Water 3.0 120mm AIO!
@@ProceuTech thank you so much!!
Nice!
Protogens go beep boop.
Should I get one of these or the RX 6600?
RX 6600 for sure!
bruh the memory isnt even cooled wow...
2023 and the card still goes for over $400 USD

They're going for about $150 used. Are you perhaps outside the US?
