*NEW* Titan x possible bandwidth issues

[terablaze]

Will I have any bandwidth issues if I get a *new*(hasn't yet been released) Titan X? My understanding is the gp102 architecture is not to far from hitting the cap of pcie3. I'm running an ASUS RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 with 2 pciex16/8 and 2 pciex8 along with an Intel Core i7-5820K. I know the GTX1080 I recently purchased is safe, but what about the Titan X with its 30% performance increase?

Also which slot should I use for the Titan x? A pciex16/8 or pciex8?

Thanks
Here are the Titan X specs:

We don't know yet. NDAs have been signed and leaks have not surfaced.

You should be fine.

Oh, I thought the specs listed on NVIDIA's site was enough. I guess maybe I'll wait to buy one.

Important note! Don't buy the new titan X for gaming PLEASE.

Specs are never enough, though the chances of the Titan XP being fluff are next to non existent. The Titan XP will be a monster.

Why? The cost to performance sucks, but if you want the best that doesn't matter.

Don't forget that Nvidia has pretty good bandwidth compression so they can get away with a slightly lower speed in most cases.

If you don't care about how much it costs, go for it, but if you care about price to performance, the gtx 1080 should do about everything you throw at it.

The 980 wasn't constrained by running 8x in a Gen 3 slot. I can't imagine the new Titan XP will have any trouble with the full 16 lanes, may still even by fine with 8.

I doubt many people looking to buy a 1200us dollar Titan XP are looking for a bargain  

 

But it's still cheaper than 1080s in SLI, or a Pro Duo.

Though it depends whether it will indeed be the best, the Maxwell Titan X wasn't, as an aftermarket 980Ti beats it

[terablaze]

The *only* reason I'm considering it is, with the slight performance increase i should be able to run 4K @ 60fps. I understand that the GTX1080 can only achieve something like 40-45fps. Also... I'm in posession of 2 Asus GTX1080 OC editions, one of which was a gift. I'm planning to sell both brand new, and use the money for the titanx as long as it will in fact get me 4K @ 60fps. The general consensus seems to be that the 1080s in SLI won't get me the performance I'm looking for in every game since it depends on a few factors: drivers, game development, etc. I understand that SLI performance varies from game to game.

 Bull Shit  Have you spent time around a liquid cooled Titan X? That little old wives tale goes right out the window  

[terablaze]

Also can anyone answer my  pciex16/8 or pciex8? I'm pretty sure the answer is pciex16/8, but I'm not 100%.

[LeapFrogMasterRace]

Might not be the best for long if Vega is good enough for Nvidia to release the full chip but it will cost a fortune.

Oh I'm not talking about that titan X

There's so few aftermarket Titan X's in existence that I didn't even take them under consideration

 

Not to mention the EVGA Hybrid one

For 100 bones you can throw on a AIO from EVGA, the same one found on mime. In fact, mine came with everything I need to put the AIO on my card on a Titan X.

[RadiatingLight]

where did you hear that the gp102 comes close to maxing out PCIe X16 Gen3? it should be fine on 8x, and work well (but not to it's full potential) on x4

All but guaranteed now. Nvida says the Titan is it's own line, so bye bye 1080ti and hello Titan (?).

If you are gaming on a high resulution like 4k (please tell me you are playing on at least 1 4k screen) it will not be a problem. If somehow you play on a 1080p 1000Hz monitor (I know that isnt a thing) CPU and PCIE bottlenecks will be an issue.

[terablaze]

Yes I have a 4K screen.
