Go to solution Solved by daniellearmouth,

and yeah, he is stressing that "for the money" a single titan is better even though it is only $200 more for base models

 

Tell him he's straight up talking shit.

 

A Titan X exists because 12GB of VRAM is a lot, but more than what any one of us is going to reasonably use.

The 980 Ti - especially ones with non-reference coolers and PCB designs - have the potential to outperform the TItan X in many a benchmark. There's a reason why on 3DMark the top scorers all use 980Tis and not Titan Xs.

So, my brother is trying to argue that a single Titan X is better than dual 980tis for the price. 

 

Please educate his poor, poor mind

1v1 the titans x is only 1-2% faster with synthetic benches so 2 980tis destroy it

Also, dual 980ti HYBRIDs from EVGA is cheaper than the Titan X HYBRID
