Overclocking and Overclocked Performance
We’re going to postpone our full overclocking of the GTX Titan X, simply due to we’ve only had the card a few hours and haven’t had enough time to fully learn it. We will publish a new Maxwell overclocking article very soon where we can show off the maximum potential of the Titan X graphics card. For now, here’s a very small overclock to tantalise those taste buds.
A little fiddling in GPU tweak allowed us to increase the core clock to 1206MHz and boost to 1280MHz. We’ve only nudged the memory up 10MHz, just to tease you all ready for the main article.

The overclocked performance shows around a 9% gain, however we did only manage a very small overclock on our memory which would be holding performance back here.
Good, quite balanced review. I’ve always been an AMD guy, but with the advent of DX12 I’m wondering if it’s time to move over to the green side.
For the time being I’m on 295X2 in Crossfire, which is like having a small nuclear core in a computer case so anything that can improve on that is great!
I’ve had nothing but issues from AMD with my current rig. She started life as a FX + R9 270 build. Replaced the mobo and processor for an I7 4790k, Just need to go green with the card and thats a wrap.
ITs not the cards themselves, Just the drivers are awful. Once i finish saving for my 970 i’m kicking AMD to the curb and walking away forever.
A very good review. As expected, the 295×2 outperforms, but is also $500.00 more, and dual-gpu setup. I currently have a Titan Black and plan on skipping this generation and waiting for the next, but it’s good to see the progress in performance and where it will be in the near future. As far as the VRAM goes, the more the better. SoM already recommends 6gb for max texture settings, so that number will likely only increase from this point forward.
