GTX Titan X

[LinuxBoi]

so I'm building a new 4k gaming rig/workstation but mostly for gaming i was wondering if i should buy a GTX Titan X or some other config to get good gaming and good workstation (Blender CAD Photoshop ect). 

I understand that the titan is a crap load of cash but it seems the best of two worlds in one card.

dual GTX 980s

go for a dual gtx 970

[TheKDub]

Dual 980s would be a good option, fairly sure it would beat out the titan x by quite a bit.

[Swndlr]

i would titan x now then buy another one later

titan has a rlly good single 4K overall performance

Hexa Titan X

if you can afford it, the titan x is a better option than SLI 970s or 980s

it is.

Titan X would be fine. If and only if you can afford it. 

 

I would avoid Dual GPU setups if possible, only use them as a last resort if you desperately need extra performance. A Titan X should perform well even @ 4K with modern games and work-horse programs.

He would very likely one day run into the 3.5GB VRM issue given he will be doing 4k

 

I wouldn't support Nvidia but given their hardware status and improvements lately, it might as well be a monopoly given ATI/AMD in comparison is meh at best.

 

Funny isn't it, you can't get their GTX 970 for 4k due to a serious issue, so pay them more and get the GTX 980's, and in the end Nvidia just laughs cause they win.

Anyway, ranting aside, yeah Dual GTX 980's

but again according to rumours dx12 can combine sli memory into one, so the 512mb issue wudnt pose a problem...anyways that's the future.

so looks like the 980 is a great option but isn't that bad for workstation?

the titan x is way out of my budget but im planing to save on it (6 months).

but i am getting a quadro 4000 so can i do a config with that and a 980?

quadro 4000 for workstation stuff (durp) at the 1080p res (yes i know bad idea to do 1080p on a 4k monitor)

then switch to the 980 in games. 

is that even posible?

or just still go with the titan x?

Quadro is perfect for Workstation rendering but it  doesn't perform as well as a gaming GPU; less then a single GTX 970 I think.

 

If the Quadro is a must, then maybe going with a single Titan X with the Quadro is the best choice.

 

But if you! IF YOU CAN!, Mann put a Quadro and 2 980's SLi'd OOOH thats sexy

[MajGHOB]

I would suggest a Titan X. I recently went from a 980 to a Titan X due to the fact that some of the new games (GTA 5, etc) do need more than 4 GB of VRAM. I was thinking of going with another 980 but then I remembered all the issues I had with SLI (mostly lack of profiles at game launch, minor stuttering, etc.) with my 8800GTS SLI, 260 SLI and 680 SLI systems.

[SatansHollow]

Workstation? Quadro M6000 would be the best choice

[LinuxBoi]

Well I was wondering to either use the quadro and a 980 but is that even possible in one system?

Because that's much cheaper then the titan x

[LinuxBoi]

Workstation? Quadro M6000 would be the best choice

Yes but I doing workstation gaming mix in 1 PC other wise I would be running that card.
