Best Nvidia card?

[Kaigott]

Greetings, I have been building a computer recently and I want a really good Nvidia graphics card what type do you think would be good?

 

System Specs:

Motherboard: MSI X99a SLI Plus

Ram: Corsair 16gb x 2 DDR4 Ram

CPU: Intel i7 5820k

Case: Raidmax Blade Blue

If money is no option, The 1080 is the best that's out currently. Supposedly there is a 1080 Ti coming out soon as well.

 

EDIT: Forgot about the Titan X (Pascal). It's way too much money for what you get in my opinion though.

at least 400-500 dollars, it not, more.

Straight answer best nvidia graphics card, titan xp, but whatever your budget allows that setup should be able to make full use of

Literally edited right before you posted, lol.

The best one for 1080p gaming is the 1060.

What resolution do you play at, what games do you play and what FPS do you want?

I don't really do games often, but I do intensive rendering and video editing.

Depending on what you use to render, a quadro might be better then a gtx card, all depends on the software though.

Then you want cores. So the Pascal Titan X is the answer. Unless you want professional grade. Then things get silly.

The problem with that is, well, problems, is 1, the price, and 2, it probably won't physically fit in my case without removing the hard drive bays.

yeah, the problem with asking for the best without a budget listed, is you get the best as an answer. 

 

Look for a used 980ti, beats even a 1080 at a lot of workstation tasks. 

[Sniperfox47]

If you need ECC, 10 bit hardware encoding, or other "Pro" features, then Quadro.

 

If you don't then save the $3000 and grab the Titan X. And if you don't need that much power save the extra $700 and grab a 1080.

Yeah, if you can't get a 1080, you can get a used 980 Ti. I have a 1070 (2.1GHz) and a 980 Ti (1.5GHz), both overclocked, and the 980 Ti beats it pretty badly in actual work. Viewports, iray rendering, and my other programs, the 980 Ti is faster. The 980 Ti is hotter / uses more power. Roughly 50-100W more than the 1070.

 

Also, if you need 10-bit color, you need a quadro. You can get away with a basic quadro as the display card and have GTX cards as the compute cards. It won't work for gaming though. Your goal is to get as many CUDA cores as possible for work related tasks.

 

What programs do you use though? That'll help.

GTX970 < GTX 1060 3GB < GTX1060 6GB < GTX980 < GTX980 ti < GTX1070 < GTX1080 < GTX1080ti

 

Buy whatever one you can afford

980ti and a 1070 have the same performance in games, in fact a good 980ti beats a 1070. Just a heads up.

980ti also compute faster.

Nah.

Running a card at stock is pointless. Also the op is doing more compute as well so the 980ti is a better choice.  More cores bigger bus > clock speed. 

 

A reference 980ti will boost way lower than a decent after market cooler and they can oc way high % than a 1080 or 1070, also it doesn't make a difference with the newer cards if you have a king penis or a flanders edition they are all poo at oc. 

 

Also a 980ti is 2/3 of the price so it's the clear winner for chicken dinner.
