August 27, 201312 yr MANY people have asked your question (including me)and the anwser is : Actually, I was only asking someone to run this test just to see where they stack w/ versus w/ my own hardware. I'm seeing right at 14 which is on a par w/ CT's Haswell box so can't complain. When I decided on building a machine for something other than FSX I understood I'd be dialing back 15% or so from change in microarchitecture between SB & Haswell, however I think it's perhaps a little less, so have be quite pleased w/ that. Perhaps SB-E adds a little to FSX as well. I'm not seeing any OOMs even w/ the above test and with sane settings in fsx.cfg I'm getting great frames, image quality & smoothness.

August 29, 201312 yr Author I just completed the upgrade from the 680 to the titan ! The scenarios where I would have experienced a drop to 18 fps at now locked at 30 ! I'm fully ready for the pmdg 777 ! A happy simmer
August 29, 201312 yr For FSX, the 780 is probably better price/performance ratio (especially a factory OC 780). I wanted the Titan specifically for it's floating point performance and the 6GB VRAM and it was NOT specifically for FSX. The Titan is currently out of my PC but will return soon ... I was using the Titan for C4D R14 and it was considerably better than my 680. Had some issues with the Titan and Adobe CC, but I seem to have what might be a problem with the Titan card itself and I might have to RMA it. But for FSX, the Titan didn't make much of a difference exception during heavy cloud layers and when I tested on higher resolutions. I tested the Titan on an Asus PQ321 (3840 x 2160) display and it held the same frame rates as on my 2560 x 1600 display, however, the 680 did not do as well on the Asus PQ321. So a good GPU does make a difference when AA/AF and resolution settings are high.
August 29, 201312 yr Author Same here, beside FSX/P3D, DCS A-10c and falcon BMS I also use the card to run massive parallel monte carlo simulations and FFTs for research i'm working on. The Titan with its nearly 5 Tflops is simply amazing. For FSX , the titan made mostly a difference in clouds (precisely the bottle neck of my 680) and the fact than I run 3 screens. Best
August 30, 201312 yr Well, I can't ascertain how much performance increase I can attribute to Titan since I upgraded all the way from 280GTX and upgraded the entire system. But I do have great performance in dense clouds now which is fantastic. I installed Titan to try to be as ready as possible for a better simulator, such as P3D Version 2 or XPlane 64 if they ever add airport buildings pretty much everywhere FSX has them. I'd love for XPlane 64 to truly address these sorts of shortcomings because I am clamoring to be able to use all 6 cores, 32gb of ram, and 6gb of GDDR.
