whats going on with nvidia and luke

[pagani123]

The point that some people are missing is the above. There was no mention of a gift or it having already been bought. That's why the comments of price to performance etc.

If you'd disclosed this info right at the start (something a truck ton of people need to learn to do) then the tone of conversation would have been vastly different I'm sure.

If it's a gift then there's really no point to the thread at all. It's a top of the line GPU now, be happy.

i didn't know that i would get so much shit for saying i got a titan i did not think it mattered that it was a gift. and i was just curious what is going on if there are any roumers because i havent heard anything and it would be a sunrise if they released pascal next week say

2 and a half years ago 1080p was the standard and still is today...that said i game on a 1440p 144hz Gsync display with my GTX780 perfectly fine and this card is around 10% slower than a vanilla titan

no doubt the Titan X was not worth it though...the 980ti with it's 6GB of VRAM is plenty for a while.

i have 6gb of vram on my 780 and i would have asked for another 780 for my birthday for sli but considering i cant find the same card anywhere else and the most recent ebay auction got up to $600 for it (it was well used as well) i decided just to ask for a 980ti kingpin or one of the higher end 980ti but my dad got me a titan x in staid the only downside is he got it when it was back ordered so he bought about a month ago and its shipping to me next week.

So you guys buying Titan X's or SLI 980TI's - you guys work on Wall Street or something?

 

my mother works on wall street and my father works as one of the higher ups at a pharmaceutical company

I'd bet you anything it's a vr demo.

Or we prioritize computer hardware over other things. Like a new car etc. 3k sounds like a lot of money, and it is but you spend so much over the course of a year, it's relatively easy to make up the difference.

Like buying lunch every day at work (250 work days a year 5x50 10 dollars a meal that's 2.5k.)

problem with the titan X is the now obsolete and far from adequate reference cooler they slap on it...i hope you have plans to watercool the card.

it comes water cooled (at least the version i go)t which i am going to use until the inwin case comes and all my parts for a full loop come

2 Ideas; Either 1000 Series (I mean the 980 came out almost a year ago now) or possibly 990/TITAN XYZ (Dual GPU card) or 990m

Props to you guys - I was just messing with you guys. I just bought an MSI 980TI...excited to get my build done next weekend

Props to you - The fast way to be added to peoples ignore list so they wont interact with your posts anymore.

980Ti or bust, the way of the world.

I lost my shit when you said it was ONLY for bragging rights. (Cos your friends can bag you themselves for the shitty purchase over the 980Ti)

[Shino]

Wow first time I joined this forum and sees this... I joined cause of linus youtube vids but now i realise the internet is still the same old internet.

 

Its just a kid who got over hyped and wanted to show off in this forum, common ppl, he wanted attention and he got exactly that.

[pagani123]

well i guess i know what happend with luke and nvidia

? I am confused by your post...when did I say anything about bragging rights?

i did not mean only bragging rights just added it to list i was trying to justify my dads purchase of the titan over the 980ti

he was referring to me 

[Kevguy]

Who cares what Luke is doing? I don't.

[Nishizumi]

Why not just get a 980 Ti and get a CPU Upgrade?

[Praesi]

waste of money. 

 

get two 980 Ti's instead. two cards are better than one.

No they are not. VRAM doesnt stack.

[typographie]

why buy the kingpin when i can get the titan x with 6gb more vram and close clock speed for the same amount of money 

 

For one, the Titan X is required by Nvidia to use the reference cooler, and as a result it throttles often. Of it's max boost clock of 1215 MHz, it sat around 1088–1189 MHz in the games in Anandtech's review. In fact, the Titan X never reached 1215 MHz at any point in their testing suite. The 980 Ti Kingpin comes clocked 200 MHz faster (which is a lot in the GPU world, by the way) and it's actually even higher than that when you consider that it's cooler will do a better job of letting it hit it's max boost clock when you're playing a game.

 

Furthermore, 12 GB of memory is truly a waste of money. The 980 Ti's 6 GB is already overkill, even at 4K:

i want the 12 gb of vram and its mostly for bragging rights over my friends

 

Instead of spending the extra $350 on the Titan X, spend it on two whores and brag to your friends about the 3-way you did.

[VioDuskar]

No they are not. VRAM doesnt stack.

read below.

 

two 980 Ti's will perform better than a titan X, and just because it isn't as much VRAM as a titan doesnt mean it's not better in terms of performance. 

for the same money i'd rather have two 980 Ti's plus we still don't know how DX12 will treat VRAM.

I have one 980Ti and it outperforms a TitanX. I dont get your point.. :blink:

[VioDuskar]

exactly, so why buy a titanX if the only difference is more VRAM? if you have the money and want to brag, brag that you have two top-tier cards powering your machine. 

 

my point is that OP should not buy the titanX because the 980Ti out performs it. the extra expense is not worth it simply for "bragging rights"

I missunderstood you than.

I agree on your last statement.

actually you can get non reference coolers for example the hybrid its just reference pcb also if you read the post before it was a gift its not like im going to sell or reject a gift from my dad 

[Prysin]

go buy 2x Fury in CF

Stronger then any TitanX, ever!!!!
