Continuation of my thread http://forums.evga.com...x?m=253215&mpage=1 program is available to download at https://docs.google.com/f...vq9wuvZQ2pWdVV3MkdBdTg Usage - application must be started from command line - cmd.exe: concBandwidthTest.exe 0 there can be more numbers 0 is first card, 1 is second card ... more numbers mean test concurrently e.g. concBandwidthTest.exe 0 1 or concBandwidthTest.exe 1 or concBandwidthTest.exe 0 2 or concBandwidthTest.exe 0 1 2 ... My result (GTX 780, 4770K, Z87) concBandwidthTest.exe 0 Device 0 took 537.110535 ms Average HtoD bandwidth in MB/s: 11915.610637 Device 0 took 528.212524 ms Average DtoH bandwidth in MB/s: 12116.335195 Device 0 took 1063.176270 ms Average bidirectional bandwidth in MB/s: 12039.395881 which is approx. twice as PCI-E 2.0 = very nice throughput. PS: It would be nice to see whether GTX Titan has concurrent bidirectional transfer, i.e. bidirectional bandwidth should be sum of htod and dtoh. GTX 780 does not have concurrent bidirectional PCIE transfer - result is that Titan does not have it.

What was your PC setup specs for this test?

Thanks for info, but what I want is people to run test and post results to see what and how works. They can also verify that their setup is working correctly with this.

Just to let you know this program will not run in the Windows 8.1 preview version. Even in Windows 7 compatibility mode.

What are symptoms? This program is to be run from command line. Open cmd.exe go to the directory where exe is located and issue command concBandwidthTest.exe 0 this should work, because it works on Windows 8 (Microsoft writes Windows 8.1-a free update to Windows 8)

The program is dealing only with average and not Total bidirectional bandwidth, correct?

I do not understand your question, program shows bandwidth to gpu from gpu and concurrent bidirectional bandwith.
Those values are averages of some measurements - but there is average total bandwidth (all numbers are total).

I guess it's easy to use your example above:
Total Bidirectional Bandwidth --> 11915.610637 + 12116.335195 = 24031.945832 (approx.)
** Average Bidirectional Bandwidth --. 24031.945832 / 2 = 12015.972916 (approx.)
** This is the value returned by the program for "Average bidirectional bandwidth in MB/s" .. an average bandwidth value.

Ok, your calculation is correct, however total bidirectional bandwidth is not fully relevant because it can be achieved only in configuration with devices that would support concurrent bidirectional bandwidth (or with multiple PCIE devices). And for this reason there is third measurement Average bidirectional bandwidth in MB/s: 12039.395881 which is real measurement, not calculation from two values, in my case it is approx. average you calculated, but measured number is better, because it is real measurement. So in my config total pcie bandwidth is maximally only 12039 MB/s, because I do not have devices that would allow to utilize full total PCI-E 3.0 bandwidth (I have only one PCI-E GPU). For total it would be possible to create test variant which would utilize multiple gpu cards simultaneously send data to one card and read data from second card, but currently I have only one card so I cannot prepare this. This test can now utilitize multiple cards but it writes data to all cards and read data from all cards so one can see how PCI-E is saturated in multi GPU.

Yes these small values are there because you have PCIE 2.0 cpu/chipset. May I recommend you to upgrade to Z87, there is a lot of EVGA offerings you can choose from :-)

Lol... you really don't need a Z87 motherboard, X79 is just fine especially for enthusiasts. On the side you should try concBandwidthTest.exe 1 (use "1" instead of "0"). You might also see if you have latest MB bios updates, using NVidia pcie patch, etc...

Number there is which GPU is going to be used, if you have only one card and if you use concBandwidthTest.exe 1 it will return Could not get device 1, aborting If you have multiple cards you can also use, e.g. for 2 cards concBandwidthTest.exe 0 1 to see how pci-e is saturated, more cards used for test, higher the bandwidth shoud be.

It shows that you have good motherboard that satuates fully PCI-E bus - is routing traffic to both cards in full speed. Nice numbers there. With such a motherboard you probably do not need to use sli bridge, because you are not bottlenecked by PCI-E.

I do not have a Titan or GTX 780, but here are my results with an older version of your program: (GTX 680, ASUS RIVE, Intel 3930K) # ./concBandwidthTest 0 Device 0 took 560.857422 ms Average HtoD bandwidth in MB/s: 11411.099609 Device 0 took 529.496643 ms Average DtoH bandwidth in MB/s: 12086.951172 Some time back, I ran bandwidth tests with both NVIDIA and AMD cards on different motherboards using bandwidth testing applications that are part of the NVIDIA and AMD SDKs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnfM8POXHOrVdFd6UHBuYmdmOGcwaHpqMzdyd0pxQXc#gid=0

Still waiting to see significant benches where the bandwidth is tested for both PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 in games or any other program like Solidworks that will saturate the bandwidth well. Only benches ive seen showed a 1 to 3 fps difference in high demanding games, but I dont think that was testing SLI which is prob where it will make a real difference.

afaik they would have to be running a surround setup to come close to saturating the bw to show any real world fps improvement

This was linked to recently so reviving an old thread... 1x Titan, Asus RIVE + 4930k, natively enables PCIe 3.0 during Windows 8.1 install.  Results: Device 0 took 553.229187 ms Average HtoD bandwidth in MB/s: 11568.442429 Device 0 took 510.658203 ms Average DtoH bandwidth in MB/s: 12532.844789 Device 0 took 1062.093262 ms Average bidirectional bandwidth in MB/s: 12051.672354 Enabling double precision actually lowered it by about 5%. I don't see how someone got 24,000?

Your bandwidth numbers look good overall and about what I see with my 3930K and 4930K processors and NVIDIA Kepler GPUs. Depending on which result you were looking at, the 24K value could be the sum of bandwidth for multiple cards or the sum of the H->D and D->H bandwidth values.

I'm still fabricating and building my rig so i can't stick the 2nd one in yet to verify. I don't know if it's multiple cards or not.

Was messing around in my bios and noticed it saying my top titan was running at pci-e 3.0 x4, So i found this thread and I ran the test and I am getting some horrible numbers.
The bottom card is running 8x, but its getting bad numbers too I think.
My mobo is a MSI Mpower Max, any idea?
Getting an average of 6059 for device 0 and 3035 for device 1

My mobo is a MSI Mpower Max, any idea?
Getting an average of 6059 for device 0 and 3035 for device 1
If they are inserted into X16 slots, that are full 16 lanes per your mobo specs, then maybe there is some dust or something in the slot preventing a completely connection of all 16 lanes. Maybe remove the cards, blow out the slots, clean the card's connector, and put them back in?

Your bandwidth numbers look good overall and about what I see with my 3930K and 4930K processors and NVIDIA Kepler GPUs. Depending on which result you were looking at, the 24K value could be the sum of bandwidth for multiple cards or the sum of the H->D and D->H bandwidth values.
Ok, I was able to stick both Titans in a test rig with PCIe 3.0. Yep, the "24k" numbers are with two cards in SLI in PCIe 3.0. A single card reports 12k on PCIe 3.0. The Nvidia Force Enable PCIe 3.0 X79 hack doesn't make a difference on the Asus RIVE as the Asus RIVE auto-enables PCIe 3.0 on a fresh default Windows 8.1 with the latest Nvidia drivers and an PCIe 3.0 GPU.
