Titan X questions

[techenthused73]

Considering Titan X:

 

1. I have read that the TX is the full GM200 chip.  Is this true and not like the original Titan that was not fully unlocked and then unlocked with the Titan Black/780Ti .  What I really hated with the 700 series is that I bought a 780 and thought it was great and a little later they released the 780ti for just $50 more than I paid for the 780 and the ti was fully unlocked.  That and with the pricing drop I felt I essentially lost $150 .

 

2. With such a high VRAM amount would the Titan X run out of processing power before it uses all the memory (in the next 3 years for games). i.e. Is NVIDIA correct for some future proofing with the VRAM.

 

Coming from a single GTX 780 would the TX be a good upgrade?  Considering since it seems games are now asking for more VRAM and getting 12 GB and being done with it seems better than just buying the cards every year that seem to just give you enough to stay just ahead of the games.  Am waiting to see the prices for the Acer 3440x1440p curved G-sync and 2560x1440p monitors and the TX might be good for them.

1) the 780 ti came  out quite awhile after the 780, so it wasn't a real issue. The titan black is fully unlocked, but that doesn't matter in the first place, they probably won't have any better cards for a year or more.

 

2) For gaming the vram is excessive, but that also means you won't ever need to think about it.

 

The titan x should be quite a bit faster than the 780, I think around twice as fast, as well as having the extra vram.

1. Titan X features an full GM200 chip.

2. There´s no such word as future proof in PC hardware but a Titan X will give you good performance for a long while.

3. A Titan X upgrade from a GTX780 would be a hard upgrade because more than twice the performance.

I have a Corsair HX1050 PSU.  I'm assuming it would handle any overclock on the TX fine.

Yes but of course this PSU would even handle a Titan X 2way SLI .

Thanks.  Just thinking ahead.
