TITAN X Pascal OR...

[VagabondWraith]

1080 SLI? I've never had SLI before. I prefer 1 card but trying to push 165Hz at 1440p. I'll be buying within the next 3 weeks. I'm leaning TXP.

 

Just needing opinions of what other people would do in this scenario. Thanks guys!

What games are you playing?

[DiamondShark286]

titan xp is great but 165hz at 1440p can probably be done with one 1080

[BloodyWaters]

Get 1080 in SLI. It's faster for the same price. Not too difficult to set up, plenty of tutorials online.

Triple A. Basically all the newest releases. RPG's, FPS type games.

Not quite. I had a 1080 once (sold it in expectations of 1080 Ti releasing early, stupid I know), and it didn't come close to pushing even 100 on TW3.

honestly i would look at benchmarks to see what is possible with both on a 6700k. then make a decision based on those results.

either way 2 1080s would be plenty

A 1080 can barely get 144fps at 1440p.

Titan XP can't push new games to 165hz at max settings, even old games like witcher 3, rise of tomb rider, division and older games like farcry primal... maybe 100 fps max

 

The feel of spending 1000++ and can't even push more than 100fps max settings is terrible...

 

Wait for Ti, or VEGA

Even the Ti is expecting to be in the 800msrp tho so knowing graphics prices these days it will be on newegg for 925 lmao

If his goal is 165hz at 1440p max settings, he will have to pay the price... Even money can't buy that performance right now...

 

But, can SLI titan XP achieve it tho?

SLI Titan is an option down the line. I plan on skipping Pascal refresh (if there indeed is one) and waiting for Volta or the one after. I feel I can get a Titan now, then throw in another used one say next year and I'll be set for a while longer. I can't wait for the Ti as I haven't had a card in over 30 days now and it's killing me. PS4 is not cutting it in the meantime because since moving to PC, I notice frame stuttering and hitching more than ever.

 

PS: Vega is not an option as I don't want to lose G-Sync compatibility.

Yea I don't know what to tell you, your goal 165hz 1440p max settings every game is impossible to buy with money...

 

I just read some benchmarks, even SLI titan XP can't do that in every game, due to CPU bottlenecking and games being unoptimized...

 

You will have to lower settings in case you want to buy 1080 or titan XP now and not wait for new cards

 

But then, spending that money and not able to max games, also feels terrible

[Mick Naughty]

Sli is the only option. The new cards won't be able to do it either.

My monitor doesn't go to 144hz but I have 2x 1080 sli and it max's out at 100fps 3440x1440 on any games I play (even bad optimized like arkham knight) Normally doesn't even get past the 70% usage mark. It was also super easy to setup

Yea sli 1080 can play 1440p at 100fps, but I'm just saying if he wants 165hz maxed out, it's just not something money can buy atm

Looked around and this may help
