Pascal Titan-X Launch
- Thread starter Vega
- Start date
What happens if AMD release Vega and it is just a higher clocked fury X? Say 30% faster... around the speed of the 1080.... So that leaves Nvidia to do what they want above the 1080 level. Vega really needs to be significantly faster than 1080... but then I guess Nvidia will be saving up the TX that are not 100% functional and they will then release them as a cut down 1080ti. But if Vega is only just about competitive with the 1080, then they do not need to release the Ti at low MSRP.
That's a very strange train of logic to decide to buy something.
Do you not simply want the card because it's going to be the flagship and bring performance to match?
How does reading trolls make you 'want' something you originally did not?

I'm probably going to get one.
I think this is the Ti version in disguise.
There won't be a 'Ti' this time around due to lack of competition.
This should give at least 50%+ over my 980Ti
Whatever it costs it will be tax deductable for me.

As much as anything the contention here is that nVidia have managed to move the goalposts so that people are basically paying Titan money for what is essentially this generation equivalent of a GTX260, 470, etc. (albeit with a little more VRAM than those cards would probably have transposed to this generation).
At the end of the day though if you want the best possible to play with as many settings turned up as possible or your old card has broken or whatever and you need a new card there isn't a huge amount of option :|

Small vega is out later this year to compete with 1070/1070, big vega is due next year at some point - probably April so it makes sense for nvidia to milk this for 6 months and then release 1080ti to compete with big vega. Presumably this is slightly cut down so they can store the full chips and have enough to release reasonable amounts of them to compete with big vega.
They probably already know what small vega can do so also have a reasonable assumption of what big vega is likely to do. The question is how appealing and what price vega will be when it's released and how that will affect 1080. Presumably with this releasing at £1200 that means it's unlikely small vega is going to be much if any faster than 1080.

That is a bit harsh bud. Coil whine is a horrible thing and not something I hope anyone has to deal with/put up with.

Decided to sell one of my 1080's. If anyone is interested 
. Run a single card for now then upgrade to TXP when i can grab an EVGA one with waterblock.
Should keep me going for a good while. 1440p 144hz with max settings for the next few years. Until we see a 144hz 4k display that is
.
Expensive but does look like an absolute monster of a card for sure.
Sick of SLI at the minute. Second card practically sat doing nothing. SLI on W3 seeing no where near single card performance.

My sentiments exactly!
That bad?

Was getting better perf with 980Ti SLI to be honest. So yeah not great. I was hoping drivers might have improved by now but no such luck.
Even when they work usage is all over the place. Maxing at 60-80% on each card. Fps drops, flickering.
Single 1080 flies and a nice step over single Ti. Smooth and runs well. Might even stick with single 1080 yet. Unsure.
Depends how much of an increase the TXP is.
You didn't keep your Asus ROG Swift PG348Q 34" in the end ?Decided to sell one of my 1080's. If anyone is interested

Damn, I was thinking of sli 1080's
Looks like I'll have to make do with a Titan again

Sent it back. Kept my swift. Do still prefer my 144hz to be honest. For £1000 not really worth it for me. Some games are very nice with the 21:9. But to be honest I enjoy them just as much without it.
Not only that but some games don't support it which is annoying, then I'm stuck with 100hz.
I'm more than happy with my 1440p 144hz at the minute.

I would if I were you. Looking the same way for me aswell. Just far less hassle and you know your getting the best perf out of a single card.
SLI for the past few years but had enough now
