GTX Titan X vs 2x GTX 980Ti?

[lolth1]

What would be best for my upcoming build? One GTX Titan X or 2x GTX 980Ti in SLI? I do a lot of rendering and doing general production with Adobe Creative Cloud apps. I do play games but it's not the priority for this build. 

 

i7 5960X

Gigabyte GA-X99-UD5

32GB Kingston HyperX

?Titan X or 2x 980Ti?

 

Thanks

2x 980Ti FOR SURE.

Whatever's cheaper, to be honest.

Get the two 980ti's. Even ONE is just as powerful as the TITAN X

Not entirely.

The 2x 980Ti's will definetely provide better performance. Don't know if what you do requires alot of Vram in which case the Titan X would be better.

Titan's are market names like Apple. Get the Ti's.

[thekeemo]

unless you work with 12k+ stick with dual 980ti

[TheKDub]

980ti SLI.

x2 980's

Not entirely. 

 

afaik it is even better (at least for gaming) since it cans be overclocked higher.

Honestly, a 980 ti is not that different from a Titan X, the 12 gig memory buffer is almost the only difference, if you can afford it, yeah, 2 980 tis would be amazing, stay away from the titan x, it makes no sense, way too expensive, offers nothing useful over the 980 ti.

980Ti X2 for sure.

 

it'll pretty much destroy the TItan X no matter what

 

unless you use something using over 6gb vram.

No. You are flat out wrong. Whatever is cheaper would apply if the 2 setups had similar performance; two 980TIs will DESTROY a single Titan X in pretty much everything other than like extreme CAD which would use 12GB of memory.

Don't buy a Titan X only for professional work, its not designed for that.  Buy a Quadro, your paying for reliability and better memory .

Silicon lottery.  It can be overclocked better, just like a Titan X can be overclocked.

I would go with the 980Ti
