GTX 980ti or Titan X

[SullyBOP]

Hi

 

I'm planning on building a PC somewhere near August/September time and I was contemplating whether to get a GTX 980ti or a Titan X

 

The Build that I have in mind is:

 

Intel Core i7 6700K

MSI Z170A M7 Motehrboard

12GB EVGA GTX TITAN X SC GAMING or 6GB MSI GTX 980 Ti Twin Frozr 6G GAMING

Corsair AX860i

WD 2TB Back HDD

Samsung 850EVO 500GB SSD

Corsair DDR4 32GB Vengeance (2400)

Corsair H1ooi GTX CPU Cooler

 

I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter

 

Thank you

For gaming? 980ti (In my opinion EVGA or Gigabyte)

[Amazingasian]

980ti.  Cheaper and when overclocked, it can perform better than a TItanX.

[DXMember]

Titan Z

 

also by August/September

AMD Polaris will most deffinately be released and nVidia Pascal will likely be aviable as well

[Guest]

get the KINGPIN edition if your considering spending 1,000... 

[DXMember]

4X titan Z, and a titan X for PHYS X card. 

this guy diggs it

 

also with 1080p display for Hearthstone

Thank you for the comments

 

I will consider the 980ti more than the Titan X

Definetly get the 980 TI, it performs only a tad slower than the Titan but is much cheaper, and performs very close when overclocked.

[Arwanell]

no, TitanX is basically just the 980ti with 12GB of VRAM (which it can't even fully use, just like 390 can't 8GB)

[Tass]

did anyone actually read his post?????
Wait untill you want to build it, at that time, both nvidia and amd might very well have most of the new Cards on the market...

[SullyBOP]

Isn't Pascal the 1000 series from Nvidia?

[stealth80]

none, pascal and zen will be close by that point, just keep saving your money

so is it better to buy the newest cards that Nvidia brings out at around that time?

Probably not the 980ti replacement though. Remember that the Titan X launched 3 months before the 980ti. The 980ti replacement is a good year away I bet.

Yes, atleast wait untill you actually want to build the pc, and take a look at whats on the market at that time.

 

Btw: remember to follow your own thread

Like i said I'm planning on it so I'm still finding parts but that's just an initial base for it

So when the time comes ill have a gander at what's on the market at the time and get the best one do you reckon?

Remember that if you just go off what's the newest there was a time the 980 was the best, as with the Titan X. Don't go off what's new, go off what is the best price to performance.

Lets say there was a card that was called 1800 and then months later a 1800ti came out, do reckon waiting it out and getting the 1800ti would be better as that would only be a little more expensive than the 1800 and if overclocked it could be similar to the new titan lets say that would come out?

It's a futile waste of energy to worry about what might be. I bought a 980ti last week, couldn't be happier. I have 90 days of protection where if I want to upgrade I can, the money I paid for my 980ti is transferred to the new card by EVGA. If in 91 days a replacement releases that's more powerful, big whoop. I can then make the choice to sell my 980ti, of hold onto it.

 

When you build buy the best graphics card you can. If you want 90 days of protection get a EVGA.

Thank you, much appreciated! I'll go for an EVGA card and when the time comes I'll buy the best card I can afford

By the time August rolls around we might see a Pascal launch.

 

The i7-6700k is a really bad purchase. It's often as expensive or more expensive than the i7-5820k. Unless the price comes down I would recommend either a i5-6600k (for budget cpu) or i7-5820k (for performance cpu). 

 

32GB of ram is overkill unless you really need that RAM (rendering or 100 chrome tabs)

[Coaxialgamer]

980 ti . The higher clocks means it beats the titan X in gaming  And you wont need the 6gb extra ram or the extra cuda cores for gaming.

[Mathematical]

If you are doing computational data. overclocking the card will produce more errors, so the Titan X will be better. For gaming, you will not notice the small errors, so overclocking has no downside besides lifespan.

980 ti

/thread

Also, get the 2TB blue, it performs the same if not better for half the price of the black.

Really??

I heard WD's new blue line up is the old green line up.

[mrchow19910319]

They're still current. It was the caviar blue they stopped. Now it's just blue.

WOW, thanks for the info dude...

Did not meant to go hush on you but really I do not trust WD green drive,.,,even though I am currently using one....

It has some "unpleasant " noise coming when I downloading files onto it.
