Titan X to 980 Ti, Insane ?

[Dicehunter]

I've been having a look at the Zotac 980 Ti Extreme Amp Edition and it's really enticing as to be honest there's only a 1-2FPS difference between it and the 980 Ti even when the TX is clocked to 1400 and the 980 Ti to 1500 and the Zotac line looks sexy

So, Nuts or a viable option ?

Kaap won't be pleased (he rightly points out the difference can be found when pushed), but I do like how cool and quiet the custom-cooled 980 Tis are. As someone into light overclocking I'd favour the 980 Ti myself.

Now that you mention it that's a good point

I thought about it myself Dice. I get 1400mhz out of my TX but fancied a G6...might pick one up as a physx card

Do it for the lolz

My Titan X can do 1450/8200 quite happily

*EDIT*

Gaming with 1479 on the core and 8208 on the memory in Shadow of Mordor at 4K max settings completely stable

Seems like a waste of effort to me.

Why not lol

For GPU knowledge, do it!

Been there, done that.

If you can sell and make £700+ AFTER all fees I reckon it's worth it.

If you can sell and make a profit after buying the 980ti I think it's a no brainer

This, otherwise it's a waste of time.

Also, if your card is a poor over-clocker then taking another punt at hopefully a better clocker is worthwhile.

Side/down-grade for me tbh, not worth the effort unless you're after a quieter system overall

(for instance I have my fans set now so my G1 fans switch off at idle, gaming I don't mind as I wear a headset)

Personally I'd keep the TX, as you'll probably only get £600ish for it anyhow

 

[LambChop]

Keep the TX.

 

[Mr Oblong]

When you get exited about sidegrades, that's when you know you've got it bad

 

[meldarthx]

honestly I wouldn't unless I knew I was getting the card paid for by my old card. If you can't get 700+ for the X so not worth it hehe....

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

Keep the TX

 

[Ayahuasca]

One guy can't even get £640 for his EVGA TX with a backplate in the MM so I'd say it's not worth it.

 

[setter]

Id keep the TX, sidegrade at best.
