If 1080ti and Titan X(Pascal) were sold at the same price, which one would you buy?

The 2016 TITAN X Pascal?

 

It would depend on the GTX 1080 Ti, if it's a good aftermarket model than it'll be faster/better... so the GTX 1080 Ti would be a wiser pick on this case.

 

However if it was the TITAN Xp 2017 then I'd pick that one regardless of what model of GTX 1080 Ti we're talking.

Titan. I'd then sell the Titan to someone else for more and buy a 1080Ti and profit.

Smart, I would probably end up getting the Titan for modeling/rendering and F@H.

Yeah 2016 Titan. The specs of them are almost identical. If you were to do some kind of 3d animation or video work ,which one would you go for?

The TITAN X Pascal is a very special card for hardware acceleration.

 

Even though the TITAN line up will use the same GTX/RTX Drivers, it does have some specifics to the TITAN line up, call it optimizations to this line up in specific that grants this card a special value in professional workloads, Gamer Nexus did a very detailed review of it:

 

 

So there will be cases where the TITAN X Pascal will outperform the GTX 1080 Ti even though the chip is almost identical thanks to these special unique optimizations on driver level, it doesn't happen always though and you'll still run into scenarios of CUDA Acceleration where both the TITAN X Pascal and GTX 1080 Ti perform the same:

 

 

Gaming wise the GTX 1080 Ti usually can sustain higher clocks and as a GTX card does have gaming more into account, but this can be fixed if you custom cool the TITAN X to improve it's clocks.

 

All in all the TITAN X Pascal 2016 might be a better purchase than a GTX 1080 Ti if you'll have use on a professional application that was optimized for it and gaming is secondary.

Bold move to assume, that I could afford either one
