This...
I'm really interested to see how this pans out. I've been considering 980 SLI for a while so, if the TX comes in between 700-800 then I think that's what i'll splurge on, otherwise it'll be 980 SLI (fingers crossed for a price reduction on 980s once TX is released).
The only other variables that confused the situation is VRAM and SLI drivers / compatibility. Ultimately this wouldn't be an issue on a single Titan X
These factors are not to be underestimated.
To put it in perspective, I disabled SLI and stuck on firestrike extreme and scored 7400 at 1500/8000. that's within 6-7% of the stock Titan X scores (will probably extend to 20-30% when Oc'd). In SLI enabled games (which lets be honest is the majority, I've rarely had issues with SLI...crossfire on the other hand
) it's going to stomp all over a single Titan X even when OC'd whilst costing the same or less. If you want outright performance at that price point it has to be 980 SLI but if you want a single card then Titan X. I think the original Titan was closer to 50% faster stock for stock vs a 680.
I'm going to try and hold off for the 980 Ti which is more than likely going to come.

what Res do you game at me old fruit?
No idea what game they were running but it was at 2560x1440 and running faster than the Titan Z and near 40% faster than the 980. I call that impressive. It could be one of those poor scaling games though, so don't read too much into it.
1440p
Shame there hasn't been any real news or rumour on these. I suspect we are in for a wait.Best thing about those T-X figures is that it gives us a glimpse into possible 980Ti performance

Ah, see im thinking about 4 of them K's hence the VRAM predicament.

Greg I think your maths is off, 153.6 is only around 32% faster than 116.2

So the 980 is around 75% the speed of the Titan X if those results are legit, and pair of 980 in SLI would be 50% faster than the Titan X if SLI scale perfectly.
It's amazing that we can so easily have our mind messed with by the illustration of graphs and figures

I'm a little bit torn of what to do now. Currently have SLI 780's which are really starting to struggle at 4k resolution, 12Gb VRAM sounds like the ultimate solution to that problem, but then I'm doubtful if one card, even a monster like the Titan X will be able to handle 4k on just one card.

I think I need to have some form of mathematical skills in the first place for it to be off
I look at numbers and I am impressed and here is one for the power efficient guys to get their teeth into

I wonder what peak is as we all know a gtx980 can draw up to 270w but thanks to the Maxwell architecture the average is kept low. This thing at peak is going to be off the charts melting PC's everywhere. Joking of course.

Actually your maths is wrong too
. Although less wrong than Greg's . You'd use the formula:
(X-Y)/((X+Y)/2)) * 100
So it's like 28% difference in value but your method is OK for a quick and dirty calculation.

Nah even a quick dirty calculation means it's over 30 percent.
153 - 116 = 37
116 divided by 10 to get 10% is 11.6
11.6 x 3 = 34.8 which is 30% with just under 2 percent left over.
Lol
