Are 4 titan x's worth it or should I do 3 or 2

[IceWolfPuppies]

I DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO SUGGEST ME 980Ti's 

[Thebman712]

get 2 titanx or 3 980ti

[Sportiva]

Why no 980ti?

[niofalpha]

Depends on the task.

[Thermal]

What are you using 2/3/4 Titan X's for? Sure buy as many as you want if you're dead set on getting them 

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

You should get 2 980Ti

[stconquest]

At four Titans, "worth" is not part of the equation.  It is simply a matter of IDC if I drop/waste $4K.

[Sam Z Man]

Much e-peen, but don't go quad SLI because scaling is a bitch.

[theereal]

Why no 980Ti?

[Lays]

Get a 980 ti KPE instead, better than a titan x anyways.

[IceWolfPuppies]

Depends on the task.

heavy gaming,rendering and livestreaming.

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

Why the hell do you want to waste so much money anyways?

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

heavy gaming,rendering and livestreaming.

2 980Ti's can do that just fine

 

Even a single 980Ti/Titan X can do that

[Dabombinable]

Straight up, even though you don't want to hear about the 980ti it is the better card over all. With Nvidia at the moment its the GTX 970 or GTX 980ti. The 980 and Titan X are pointless.

[misthosg]

Micro-stuttering is supposed to be horrible on 4x titan x. Please do not get it.

[pwn_intended]

Totally worth it. MS word and IE are super GPU heavy.

[Sam Z Man]

heavy gaming,rendering and livestreaming.

WTF?

[IceWolfPuppies]

Totally worth it. MS word and IE are super GPU heavy.

Yeah Ok

[IceWolfPuppies]

WTF?

what

If you're willing to drop that kind of money you might as well build a separate computer to handle streaming/editing or you go the Quadro M6000 route cuz monies!

If your on a high resolution get 3. If not get 2.

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah Ok

be nice to your wallet and only get one 980ti

 and then decide if you want or need more

[Sintezza]

Titan X is totaly gimped on dual precission and all that stuff,

which dont make them any interessting for workstation based applications anymore.

 

I dont realy see why somebody would even concider a Titan X over a GTX980Ti in general.

12GB GDDR5 vram buffer for nothing...

[Aytex]

3 fury x's

For gaming, 3 and 4-way SLI doesn't scale as well as 2-way. Many games don't support that many cards, but even the ones that do usually don't see much performance improvement.. You'd be throwing away $2000 for nothing, effectively.

 

For rendering, it will depend on whether or not your rendering software supports GPU (CUDA) acceleration and whether or not it supports 3/4 cards.. Even if it does, the question you have to ask yourself is will the potential performance increase be worth the extra $2000? Is your personal workload really that intense?

 

IIRC, livestreaming will require a CPU with great multithreaded performance (or a GPU that can encode the video on the fly). If you're spending an insane amount of money, why not get a 5960X? (or save some money and get a 5930K or 5820K).. 

 

 

Get 2 cards max. Better yet, get 2 980TIs for half the price.. If you do indeed feel like blowing tons of money on not very much additional performance, why ask us? Just do it, man.

 

Edit: Maybe I should clarify this.. Yes, I did suggest the 980TI in a thread in which OP explicitly asked for people to not suggest the 980TI. The point is, the performance is so close to the Titan X that it doesn't really matter, yet the pricetag is a considerable amount lower. Since the Titan X doesn't even have the incredible FP64 performance of the original Titan, you can't even use that to justify the added cost. 

To repeat myself, if OP wants to throw money away, I'm not going to stop him. But if he's asking for suggestions about a GPU setup, I'm sure as hell going to recommend the most reasonable setup, which I believe to be the 980TIs. 

 

Have a good day, everyone.
