[QUOTE=nucleon;332311]Doing further testing...

Furmark - no issues
MemtestG80 - no issues
occt - no issues
oclhashcat - doesn't run
gpuburn - linux only (don't have linux GPU-capable machine)

mfaktc - fails after extended times
cudalucas - fails at random points (even one test the app went thru all FFT sizes and failed on all of them)

mboard bios - latest non beta version.
Ram at reasonable timings (1600).

I still have it in a machine with both GTX580 and Titan. I could remove the GTX580, and see how it goes.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]cudalucas - fails at random points (even one test the app went thru all FFT sizes and failed on all of them)[/QUOTE]same happened to me till FFT size of 20M but didn't jump back,
so last ETA was 315h :(

Titan failure

Still errors here even with minimal clocks and without roundoff warnings. I will do last tests this weekend an then probably send it back. :-(
The question is if there is anybody out there who can reliabally run CL? Maybe it's really a driver issue.
Can anybody else compile CL for SM_35? Maybe my compile is buggy...
Kindest regards, Sebastian

All these last discussions come somehow in agreement with my last post two pages before, stressing the fact that Titan is nothing more then a "QC Rejected" K20X toy. They still want to make some money from what's left after selling Teslas to the big (industrial/governmental/army) guys. There is no official confirmation of this yet, only my conspiracy theory, but trust me this time, I work in domain (electronics/semiconductors industry). The Titan toys are still good for gaming and video-related work/production, autocad, protel, etc, and they want it to be a rival of the newest Radeon 7970 chips, but for accurate mathematical work, hm... maybe that is why K20X is 4 times more expensive....

I am seriously thinking if I should order an [URL="http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTXTITAN6GD5/"]Asus** Titan[/URL] or wait for Maxwell architecture...

------------
** all my heavy artillery is Asus and never had problem, well, I [U]do[/U] custom water cooling on the other hand, but somewhere in one of the corners of my rounded head I still hope (BIG HOPE) that you have problems with yours [U]not[/U] because they are Titan, but because they are EVGA, MSI, etc, other companies, known to have problems with Nvidia chips in the past, OR because you order it too early, and did not wait few more months for the technology to "settle", to "mature", therefore I am still HOPING (BIG HOPE) that ordering a Titan - Asus or other brand - in few months might still be a good affair.


edit: on the other hand, release of Titan is good, beside of the release of the 680/690, because the [B]price for 580 will drop even more[/B] (they dropped once when 680 appeared). All people (specialized sites) compare Titan with 680/690 and show how much better Titan is, but they forget that 6xx chips really suck at DP calculus. After a reliable comparison of Titan versus 580 (not [URL="http://www.hwcompare.com/13982/geforce-gtx-580-3gb-vs-geforce-gtx-titan/"]the theoretical one[/URL], but practical) I may even decide to forget Titan and add few new GTX580s to my farm...

Please buy one at let us know how you go :)

Looking at photos online, the first batch are all reference designs, and probably made at the same place (Foxconn).

The only difference being the bundle.

I'm hoping a driver upgrade will fix it.

Well, since the Titan seems like a bust for trial factoring (thus far) we decided, since we only have one "real" computer anymore that we use regularly (general purpose and gaming) that we would order a [URL="http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-2690-KR"]GTX 690[/URL]. It should be here on Monday.

We will probably be selling our (nearly new) GTX 660Ti for $200 plus shipping, in case anyone is interested.

It really sucks that the 600 series is so lame compared to the 500 series for compute tasks, but it is very superior for games and it is much more energy efficient. (And we have not been able to find a GTX 590.)

We know that you all are probably thinking, "OMG, the ASUS whore bought EVGA!"

But there is a method to our madness. Besides their top-tier support, check out this offer:

[url]http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/extended.asp[/url]

Five years of warranty for $30 or 10 years (!) of warranty for $60.

will give it a try without dp active now

Dubslow 2013-03-08 20:00

For anyone running CuLu on a Titan, have you been using the -t option? That will add extra error checking. If it still silently fails even with -t, then I'm inclined to think it's a hardware issue (or possibly a driver thing).
