The GTX Titan X owners thread.

[straxusii]

Just checked in Doom and I get +20% framerate over stock with my standard overclock, definitely worth waiting for 1080ti

 

[olliej82]

Not exactly the huge 2 X performance nvidia claimed! Will stick with my tx and maybe get a second one!

Would love to see how my 1500mhz goes agaisnt a 1080 @ 2000mhz which is what your looking at on each card on average so it seems. Of course go and hybrid a 1080 and it'll be out in front again.

1x8 pin I highly doubt it. Maybe the AIB partner cards with 2x8pin.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Yeah true forgot about it being 8 pin.

I got caught out last time buying 2x 970s and then getting them refunded (really great from overclockers for accepting them back after the ram fiasco BTW), 2x 980s then 2x Titan-Xs.

This time round its Pascal 1080ti or the Titan if the price isn't insane 1k+
Not buying the mid range cards any more.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Looking at the price of 1080 at 599... I wouldn't be surprised if the new titan is over £1k...

The 1080 is priced in the middle of 980 and 980ti release prices (not including founders edition, which is 980ti money).

I expect that means the 980ti will be ~$100/£80 more than the 980ti was at release time... so the titan will at least be at £1k, if not £1.2k with the current terrible exchange rate.

 

[Huntyz]

It all depends on how much more powerful it is.

If its 2x the power of an overclocked TX and 1kish I will probably still buy it

 

[shamus21]

Well that release turned out to be a bit of a anticlimax

 

[VincentHanna]

Jebus, those 1080's kill the Titan X...

Well that release turned out to be a bit of a anticlimax

I only saw the Digital Foundry benchmarks, which put a Founders addition (which I thought was stock?) against a Titan X and had it pegged at 30% quicker at 4k.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

That's true stock for stock, overclock them both though and it's less than 10%, and lets face it, your going to overclock these cards.

 

[VincentHanna]

So just to clarify, the 1080 is hampered by only having 8 pin power (in terms of overclocking)

Otherwise couldn't you just use a hybrid cooler on 1080 for similar overclocking?

 

[studulike]

yes wait for custom cards, it might need an extra 6pin

EVGA 1080 Hybrid here i come

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

As above, I'm interested in the EVGA Hybrid at this point another 6pin connector will help the power throttling, failing that the 1080Ti.

 

[VincentHanna]

I can see myself buying a 1080ti Hybrid in future and just having one GPU

16GB HBM2 memory as well would be nice

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

1080ti Hybrid will be a monster, it'll have all the stock performance gain and won't buckle under O/Cing, it'll cost a grand as well I'm betting

 

[studulike]

my guess that 1080Ti will still be GDDR5X 12GB and the Full Fat Titan will be 16GB HMB2

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

..mmmm please stop....no don't stop

 

[GFX-Kid]

my guess that 1080Ti will still be GDDR5X 12GB and the Full Fat Titan will be 16GB HMB2

Not so long ago I would have not thought this would be the case, but looking at the 1070 specs in relation to 1080, this is very possible.

It would be a nice way to squeeze an extra £300 out of people who must have the best there is. Unless Vega turns out to be a monster of a card, nvidia will be more than happy to do this.

 

[ChrisD.]

Absolutely zero point in upgrading for my, I can run most games at full at 3440x1440 with one Titan, the second only really gets used in the likes of Tomb Raider etc. Would be a complete waste of money.

Now if 4k super wide finally arrives that may be another story but till then I'm sitting tight. I was kind of hoping Doom would challenge my cards however it's silky smooth using the single one!
