Graphics card dilema

[PeggersXtreme]

Hi,

 

So I won a GTX 1080 in a competition it's the Strix version, I already have two Titan X's Maxwell versions now I am in the dilema as to if I keep the titans or the 1080 the 1080 is slightly better in games that don't support sli but what about the games that do will the titan x's stomp the 1080. What do you guys think. And I don't want to buy another 1080 and SLI it...

keep titan sli until next gen, otherwise just waste of money

So should I sell the 1080 cause I won it in a competition

yeah I kind off only bought to titans two try SLI as I heard mixed things about it and having the most powerful card at the time if a game didn't support SLI it wouldn't have been as bigger deal because it would have been the best possible performance at that time for single card if that makes sense lol

oh you won it?.... build another rig?  or if you really want to go crazy, sell the titans and get another 1080. If you won a founders edition, I'd think about selling it and keep the Titans even just for coolness

tough decision, but I'd probably keep the titans and sell it, save the money for next gen and get a card or to from that new gen

let's see what others say

Ok yeah as for SLI I haven't come across many games that haven't supported it only one so far is Cities Skylines

should add (sell the 1080)

but I don't think its a big deal in cities

Personally I think even the 1080 would dip a lot in cities it really screws with frame rates when zoomed in

that might be true

it's a shame I can't find some titan x sli comparisons vs the 1080

It might also be worth adding im thinking about getting a 3440x1440 monitor soon so which would handle that better

As a single card the 1080 is far better than a single titan x maxwell but a maxwell in sli is better than one 1080

I noticed hitman seems to really benifit from the pascal cards for some reason it was almost double the fps of the titan x

are we talking a lot better like I have heard two of the older titans is about the same as a single new titan not sure if that true or not also I've heard a lot about latency recently with SLI not something I personally noticed accept I end up disabling SLI in battlefield and CS:GO cause mirco stutter galore

[PeggersXtreme]

I'm thinking of keeping the 1080 whilst the titans have some value left to them otherwise they will be worth very little once the next gen comes out and then get the monitor I want and then if I feel one isn't enough wait till the 1080ti comes out and the 1080's should have a price drop shouldn't they?

We'll if it helps, 2 founders edition 1080s is roughly equal in power to 3 Titan Xs so I'd assume 2 Strix 1080s would probably be better than 3 Titan Xs

Lol I'm thinking of maybe selling the titans and then getting another 1080 once the 1080ti has released hopefully the 1080s will drop in price a bit by then 

[James27]

Yeah that seems the most logical choice to me. Sell the Titan Xs and get another 1080. If you stick with two Titan Xs or a single 1080 you'll have to upgrade sooner anyway. Whereas with two 1080s you'll be all set for a long time!

Yeah I would have probably kept the Titans if it wasn't for winning the competition I just entered with no thought that I would win it lol but by the sounds of things the 1080's run cooler as well are two open air coolers ok for SLI I always thought blower cards were better for SLI.

I would use GTX 1080 because of thermals.

Yeah I just sold one of my Titans about 30 minutes ago was quite happy with the price I got more than the 1070 costs for it and that a slightly better card around 7%-9% than the titan x
