Thank you for fixing the links! 🙂

Holding my fingers crossed for AMD... if they will come up with something to beat the Titans and make it possible for other manufacturers to modifications/higher factory OCs, then hats off!

Let's see if they can come up with good drivers too...

According to this article, based on leaked test results, the new "Volcanic Islands" being officially announced this coming Wednesday is going to kill the Titan 😄 :cool:

From that table Myk posted, the only HWBOT-related result is 3DMark FireStrike Extreme - in which actually still the Titan is the best... However, it's pretty close... if AMD will make the VRMs of the card more robust, that may result in better overclockability...
