4K Video

[MaksimK]

Hey Guys 

 

So I'm building new computer and I have come a dilemma of what video card to buy.. My main focus is 4K video streaming and editing, also a bit of gaming.

The two cards I'm looking at are the 980 and the Titan X. What should I do? Buy 980s and go 2 or 3 way SLI or go with the Titan X and SLI it later on..

 

My PC specs

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Asus X99-DELUXE ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard 

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 512GB 2.5 Solid State Drive

Storage: Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive 

Storage: Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive 

Storage: Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive

Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case 

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 1300W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive: Pioneer BDR-209DBK Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro (OEM) (64-bit)

Monitor: Asus PB287Q 60Hz 28.0

 

Most of the components will be upgraded later on. Just something to get me off the ground at the moment..

 

Thanks in advance

The 980's are going to come into there own when DX12 drops and supposedly adds vram but Titan X will do better today with the 12GB vram. Personally i would go for a titan x and sli it later. Other people have other opinions and arguments. Don't just listen to me.

3-way 980s would be extremely power and so would a titan x, Titan X in SLI otherwise Vram will limit you.

I have been doing research and from what I've seen is that there is not that big of a difference between say 980s 3way SLI and Titan X 3way SLI.. The thing is i don't wanna spend a bunch of money on Titan X SLI and get the same result as 980s SLI

Hey MaksimK,

 

The build looks pretty powerful as it is and I doubt you'll need an upgrade soon.

 

Regarding the GPUs, I'd go with the one with more VRAM. Look up some comparisons on the internet for each GPU when working with 4K and check as many reviews and commends as you can. Calling the manufacturer for some advice and some additional info could also be a good idea.
