Found some benchs leaked, they are hopefully not posted yet.

It is fast!

Faster than my GTX 650 for sure

Just scraps by, you might do better in physx.

I'll believe it when i see it. For now i'll assume these are fakes

[MrSuperb]

Funny how the minimum framerate for the Titan in Tomb Raider and FXAA is 35fps and the average is 29.1fps

 

FIND the error

[Prince32780]

 

not to mention we have absolutely zero confirmation that these results are even real. So I wouldn’t even make my opinion based on these.

That's how much awesomeness the Titan is, it's so powerful that during the most intensive sequences the framerate increases.

[Anult]

Assuming these benchmarks aren't fake, holy mother of god that's fast!

 

The only question is though: how much will it undercut the titan by?

[Humbug]

Looks pretty close High res frame latency looks abit weak but

Especially on modded skyrim

Hopefully this is nothing more than an immature driver...

[EChondo]

I'll wait for PCPer's benchmarks.

This pretty much.

The shenanigans regarding Titan's Min, Max, and AVG FPS is enough to make me go "This probably is bs." 

Plus, the Titan, for some reason, apparently stays at 60FPS consistently through RAGE at 5760x1080 at ultra with MSAA X 4. I'm calling BS there too.

What an atrocious way to represent data.

I just want my DX9 games fixed already.

 

Runt frames come first, then performance gains.

What's the point of benching single GPU latency? there is none.

It's not a driver issue, the card just ran out of memory.
Modded Skyrim is a memory hog, fortunately AMD will release 6GB versions of the R9 290X.

Based on that graph, wouldn't Skyrim heavily modded at 4K use even more than 6GB of VRAM?

Depending on the mods, of course.

My modded Skyrim tops at about 2.7GB of VRAM usage on 1920x1080 with anti aliasing enabled.

LMAO:

 

 

Very well-performed and well-setup benchmark, GTX Titan has higher minimum framerates than average framerates. Congratulations, this benchmark must be legit with such black magic being performed! /sarcasm

 

Next, please.

[TechFan@ic]

The Rage benchmark is a very strange one, considering Rage is not a demanding title at all, in all likelihood it's a CPU bottleneck, since you can enable GPU transcode for textures on the Nvidia cards through CUDA but the game doesn't offer GPU transcode through OpenCL for AMD cards, so the load is thrown at the CPU.

[Kamil]

True or not, this is pretty much about where I expected; The 290X has performance comparable to a Titan, a little more in some games a little less in others. Mantle might change that if it's widely adopted though...
