Should I sell my 980's and get 2 titan X'?

Uhh, AMD STILL has the best card in the world. (not a single gpu card, but still, that price tho) AMD does make good GPUs, and the R9 3xx series will probably compete EASILY with the new Nvidia lineup.

Meh they can compete, but they will never surpass Nvidia. They make an ok card for the money, Nvidia spends the money on R&D and puts their money where there mouth is. Plenty of botched launches by AMD, poor driver support at times, and cards that are not efficient. If AMD really wants to compete they need to decide if they are a GPU company or a CPU company IMO. 

 

Not wanting to get into a pissing match, I understand why people like AMD, but if I want top of the line, best performance, efficiency etc, I'm picking Nvidia. 

 

The 390x will come out and be good. It will not be as cheap as everyone thinks and then Nvidia, like they always do, will come out with something better. They will never allow AMD to have the top performing card for long.

That might be a while lol. The 390X is taking its sweet time to come out. 

2 months? That's not long though If web doesn't like (Which it usually does) then a release is going to happen soon in response to the TiX. But R9 395X2 would be sweet AF.

Well you could just get 2 AMD cards at the price of 1 Nvidia card and CF them saving you money and giving great performance? Nvidia seems to be a sinkhole for money lately. 

 

Sure AMD 390/X will be the price of a 980 no mistake of that but HBM will do wonders for AMD and if Samsung buy AMD then there goes AMDs money issues if Samsung don't liquidate AMD an decide to focus on GPU's like Nvidia even then AMD has to compete with Nvidia and Intel on both fronts where Nvidia just has to deal with AMD and if Intel doesn't have a direct competitor because Intel is all up in everyones face.

Wait for the R9 300 series or the GTX 980 TI.

Too bad their drivers are garbage

But in saying that so are Nvidias? AMDs Drivers haven't been "bad" since 4000 series.

I game with a Dell 3440 x 1440 ultrawide monitor. I do come close to the cap limit in VRAM with a couple games. (Shadow of Mordor and another but I cant remember what it was.) I love ultrawide and plan on getting the 144mhz Acer monitor when it comes out. I am wondering what opinions are on getting the titan x's and selling the 980's for a little bit of future proofing.

Just read this article here, it will answer all your questions.
