Given your already spending upto £600, personally I'd try to find the extra £50 for the Zotac GTX Titan that's on the this week only offer, seems a much better buy to my mind for little more outlay relatively, 5 yr warranty too!

As for your actual question, not a clue! Sorry!

That's an extra £180?

Thats an extra £180 :confused:

A TitanX is not worth it over a 980Ti.

Many 980Tis come factory overclocked or GPUBoost themselves to exceed TitanX speeds.

Zotac do have a 5yr warranty on some of their cards such as - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-090-ZT&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1402

What system (PSU+board) is it going into?

It as good, just not good enough to warrant the extra £££.

I was referring to his OP where he says he's thinking of spending around £600,

My bad, I thought the Titan would be the better bet, especially for 4k, oh well.

Kind of makes me wonder what the Titan is for bar willy waving then?

i was looking at this one

I'd remove the link before the mods see it!

agccga · 2 Jul 2015 at 18:52

so would the titan be better for overclocking and 4k gaming ?

and thanks for the replays :-)

Comes in at bang on 600 quid, very cool running quiet card, oc's pretty nicely too.

I'd assumed - and only assumed - yes, it would / should be, clearly it's not deemed the better value but you could argue £600+ on a bloody graphics card will never represent value anyway!

Given Titans were silly money at launch (not that they aren't particularly sensible money now) the Zotac looked like a better bet to me.

And remove your rainforest website link, competitor links are not allowed.

what overclocks have you got

Scania · 2 Jul 2015 at 19:11

Not got any over clocking knowledge nor experience on the Titan tbh, no, I'm just thinking at 4k it's extra VRAM would surely be of benefit, do you play GTA V? - I'm struggling to think of a title other than GTA V that'll utilise it, but, if you do run GTA V then perhaps it's worth considering.

I'm yet to read a review of the Titan that doesn't say if you can justify one then buy it, but I must point out I'm still stuck with an aged GTX580 and I'm only talking from my perception of reviews as opposed to actual experience of either the Ti or Titan.

So far 1478 boost clock, +150 over stock boost.
