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
