980 vs 980ti

[Andre01]

Hey guys,

 

I'm a bit confused with regards to how to tell a card is better if you ignore clock speed. Which would be better a 980 with a higher core clock (say 1.27Ghz) or a 980ti with a lower clock (1.10 Ghz)? What is the advantage of having the "ti"?

 

Thanks

The 980ti. More VRAM, More CUDA cores, and better DX12 compatibility.

The 980ti is based on the same chip as the titan X just with less vram and slightly lower core count.

the 980ti is faster because its basically a cut down version of the Titan x, and core clock doesn't matter much when comparing cards of different chipsets.

The Ti version has a different, faster GPU and 50% more VRAM. As such, a 'slower' 980ti (lower clocks) will still greatly outperform a GTX 980. Also, advertised clock speeds are unreliable, as the card usually runs much faster.  Luke has a video on this.

the 980ti isn`t really a advanced 980, it`s a different chip entirely (which is a bit weird IMO), from a Titan X, naming scheme isn`t the best with most company`s

First off ignore the 980 completely and look at the R9 fury

Then you can see here relative performance

And you saw those frame time numbers, right? Why I don't like the Furys

Ok so you are agreeing with me?

Just in case you aren't I want to clarify that im talking R9 fury not Fury nano.

If by agree you mean don't buy a Fury? Yes

I did a tally and I got this

Fury iii iii iiiiIo iIiI iii ii iii iii Io iiiooo 
980 ooo ooo ooooIi oIoI ooo oo ooo ooo Ii oooiii 

i = wins
I = tie
o = lose
