Today the company announced firmware version 1.0.5. The update lets the Titan deliver higher hash rates than the original hardware and improves stability on major pools.
In testing, Kncminer found stable hash rates near 330 MHs on most pools tested. The company's announcement states: "We're releasing a new firmware for the Titan today after several implemented enhancements and we're happy to announce that our Titan scrypt hardware miner now hashes at even higher hashrates than at first delivery, and is getting more friendly towards the bigger scrypt pools out there. We've not been able to test all of the pools over longer periods of time yet, but have found stable hashrates on or around 330 MHs on most of the pools tested, including Clevermining, Coinotron, Ghash, WeMineLTC and LiteGuardian as well as on straight-forward litecoin scrypt mining. At Ghash we now see stable scrypt mining speeds around 340 MHs and some of the pools report even higher average and peak speeds with a standard 4-Cube batch 1 Titan."
