my specs cpu i7 4790k-gpus 2 titans sli ram 16gb psu 860w raid0 ssds
so i tried some benchmarking with heaven and scored 1504
with +100mz oc on core and + 5mv power.(without oc scored 1485.)
is this a normal score with such specs????
i thing Not....
can anyone give some advice about??...
thanks in advance.

Gary at 94c it is already throttling back to protect itself, and when it throttles back your actual performance is cut.

I have the original EVGA Hydro-Copper GTX Titan and I recently had wasted money changing to a Heatkiller full coverage water block as the Hydro-Copper water block just wasn't doing the job and once pulling it...

Try running a single titan, maybe SLI isn't enabled or the test doesn't support it (I doubt it though). Is the second card detected by the pc? Check all connections, SLI bridge and both cards on their own, maybe one of them was a DOA? Does your MOBO support SLI (it must, your running an insanely op rig, don't tell me you cheaped out on the MOBO).

I just ran it with my single GTX Titan and scored 1530, GPU core clocked at 928mhz memory 3004mhz, something is definitely not right with your SLI setup.

Heaven 4.0 set to 1920 x 1080 with all the additional graphic settings maxed out.

CPU is a 3770K overclocked to 5ghz w HT disabled.

my mobo is the asus maximus vii formula the sli ( i think) works just fine... its being recognized by the system...it is enabled and supported obviously.
heaven settings of course are all maxed out
around about which numbers would it be normal to score heaven??
what else can i be doing wrong?

just finished benchmarking with a single titan scored 1102
no other program was running just heaven
heaven settings.(quality ultra).(tesselleration extreme).(anti aliasing x8).(resolution 1920x1080)
so my fellow titan owners what could be the problem?
(i have installed the latest nvidia drivers )
(first titan is evga, the second msi)

You say your temperatures are safe, but what are they exactly?

You can use GPU-Z to monitor your temperatures make sure the Log to file is checked, and you'll find the GPU-Z log in My Documents.

I assume these Titans are air cooled?

Are these the original GTX Titans?

I know this probably won't make any sense to you because it did not to me in the beginning but the Titan can actually boost the boost by up to 13% if the card can stay cool enough, if it cannot stay cool enough it won't engage that feature.

My Titan is water cooled and my Heaven load temperature is 28c, and that is why my score is as high as it is, because there is absolutely no throttling happening at that low of an operating temperature.

these are the original GTX Titans and are air cooled
after many many i say attempts with heaven, temps never went above 94 degrees celsius (quite high i may say but would it justify a so low score?)
also tried with a single gpu no sli
with a major oc of +180 mz on core +37mv power +10mz memory
scored 1324 ?(no crashing)
could there be reduction in performance...? i meen, well they are made in 2013

I have the original EVGA Hydro-Copper GTX Titan and I recently had wasted money changing to a Heatkiller full coverage water block as the Hydro-Copper water block just wasn't doing the job and once pulling it and looking under the hood so to speak I found out why.

The GPU die itself was only 3/4th covered with thermal compound with one corner of the die raw, no compound touched it at all and this was from the factory, sorriest water block application I have ever seen on any card I ever pulled the heat sink off of.

Some of the memory chips were barely touching the thermal padding, I don't know what brand Titans you have but if they are EVGA I would be concerned, as to whether your heat sink was properly installed.

So what brand Titans do you have?

i have msi and evga gpus
so you say its propably about tepms issue
but throttling back... would the throttling reach just the stock settings or go further down of them
sorry for my english i'm from Greece
i will try ones more with sli on with stock setts and have an eye in the temps

fully dissapointed (score 1066) min fps 23.1 max fps 81.7
temps evga reached 88 degries and msi 67 --evga runs cooler at 4500 rpm msi runs at 5300 rpm
on crysis 3 i enjoy playing with sli on fps drop down even at18 frames per second
maybe i should leave it as it is

one more thing came to my notice ...and i will leave you to rest ....
could my monitor be affecting the result of heaven
to tell you the truth its a cheap monitor and quite old (lg e2350v)
i gave all my attention for the pc but not in the monitor

As long as the monitor can run the resolution I don't see it affecting the graphics card output capability.

The monitor has nothing to do with graphic load temperature, that is the cards themselves and a 21c difference between the two is a very significant difference.

Please check cpu z and post a screenshot of both cards at the same time, because your cpu only has 16 pci lanes, so if it is as it happend to a friend of mine, then on card is on x16 @ 3.0 and the other is running at x4 @ 2.0 this can lead to a very different temperature and power and performance between the two cards, and it means that you have next to no benefit in SLI. Please check this.

thank you all guys problem solved the cards were bottlenecked by the nvidia control panel settings ...placed everything in default and scored 2743 ..
thanks about the tip about temps cards have a 20°C variance one from the other while being on load (benching)
by the way is 2743 an acceptable score???
