I just got a GTX Titan and wanted to post my numbers. I had a very interesting experience overclocking the titan. It does not behave like any other card. The card itself decides most variables. I needed to have GPU-Z open to figure out what was going on; initially, when overclocking, I was getting SLOWER renders than at "stock speed." this is because the hardware manages boost largely by itself at "stock" and actually does quite a good job at it. You need to tweak very specifically to get a stable OC. If anyone wants to know more I'd be happy to share. But so far, I'm very impressed with the Titan's performance in AE, c4d and maya. Especially when factoring in a) it is a single-gpu solution b) 6GB RAM more than any consumer card and c) low power and heat for its class.

intel 3930K @ 4.6 ghz, with Titan @ stock speed = 3:57
intel 3930K @ 4.6 ghz, with Titan OC @ 1110 mhz base clock = 3:40

doesn't seem like much, but it's actually quite a boost when considering longer renders.
I will be testing this against a 2x GTX 580 in SLI, but still waiting on my second card for my second workstation.

right now

GTX 580 3GB I am getting 5 min 5 sec with GPU clock at 925 mhz, or 5:45 at stock speed. testbed is intel 3770k @ 4.7 ghz

cool, thanks for the info, I added it to the charts as well @ http://www.loopoutcontinue.com/CUDA/

Ah. So many little hidden files…

 

Thanks, that solved it. Results:

 

i7-3770@3.4ghz, 8gb RAM, GTX Titan-    Time: 00:04:01

 

I’ll post times for 690, 570, and Q4000 tomorrow.

 

 

Cheers,

Hi Jim,

 

first you have to copy the file ‘raytracer_supported_cards.txt’ on to the desktop.

 

Then type this in the list of supported cards:

GeForce GTX TITAN

 

Save and copy that file back into the ‘Support Files’ folder.

 

My titan works fine on CS6 / Win7.

Did you have any trouble getting AE to recognize the Titan? I’m just getting ‘incompatible device or driver’.   :-\    (running Windows 8… which I don’t recommend upgrading to)

 

Drivers are updated, Premiere seems to recognize it (I listed it the supported_cards file), but AE is showing CUDA grayed out and won’t use the GPU. Not sure what’s up. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

 

Cheers,

Jim

my project is available here
http://www.teddygage.com/AEBENCHCS6/

but obviously the results are different than Dan's bench

i ran a different scene on the new imac with the 680.

results are here

So a while ago I posted an AE graphic card benchmark at creative cow that has gotten a lot of responses, so I threw together a quick, readable spreadsheet of the results. I was mainly curious about compute performance of the new titan card vs. last gen 5xx cards and the kepler 6xx series. I wanted to see if the titan was worth the extra $1,000, because it is in fact a consumer version of the nvidia k20 tesla which costs over $3k. The results were very interesting. The original thread is here

http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1019120#1035979

And I have posted the spreadsheets (and benchmark file) on my server at

http://www.teddygage.com/AEBENCHCS6/

 

What I would love to add are any results with the newer quadros (5000 / 6000) or any tesla card.

Furthermore I'd be interested to hear any thoughts from 3D users about their experiences using an AMD 7950 vs nvidia consumer card for viewport 3D (using zbrush / maya / or C4D especially)

The amount of C4D work I've been doing has only increased in the last year and I can imagine when CS7 comes out that's only going to increase. viewport accuracy is going to be of a larger concern and nvidia is using a poor strategy to differentiate the quadros by gimping compute performance in the 6xx consumer cards.

Would also love to hear any thoughts on these results, I'll refrain from saying what I think until people get a chance to check it out.
