I wonder how two 970s in SLI will compare to the TitanX, though.

 

[JonD7]

Everyone will forget about the Titan X once the 980 Ti comes out.

 

[Solidus]

Gotta love those Ti releases. It's definitely going to be super-expensive, too.

But dos FPS bruh! Oh sheeet.

"Overall then it should come as no surprise that from a gaming performance standpoint the GTX Titan X stands alone. Delivering an average performance increase over the GTX 980 of 33%, GTX Titan X further builds on what was already a solid single-GPU performance lead for NVIDIA. Meanwhile compared to its immediate predecessors such as the GTX 780 Ti and the original GTX Titan, the GTX Titan X represents a significant, though perhaps not-quite-generational 50%-60% increase in performance."

soooooooooooo....... useless waste of time money and a new GPU release then
Definitely waiting for the 980Ti

The GPU memory is a big deal though. There's a number of GPU rendering software and since you have to load your entire scene to each GPU you'll want as much memory as possible. 4GB is very low for doing rendering, 12GB is much better. You could get 4 of these and have a really fast GPU rendering workstation.

A lot of modern games try to take advantage of VRAM.

But still, the price is too high.

My 780s is starting to feel a bit old now with only 3 GB of VRAM . Especially now that some games like Shadow of Mordor, and AC Unity can max 4 GB of VRAM on the highest settings.

Personally, I wouldn't go for a TitanX, but I can see how it would be a more cost-effective solution, than say, buying two 980s for SLI.

I just worry that with more ram comes more excuse for developers to be lazy with games so it's just more they'll use and not optimize the games.

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, that's basically what happened with The Evil Within, AC Black Flag, and even Unity.

 

[darthviper107]

PC games should run a lot better than they do, developers don't optimize them nearly as much as they do on consoles. Though I am impressed with the really low PC requirements of GTAV. It was amazing that they got it working on the PS3 with only 256MB of memory.

Really? At what res? I still have my EVGA GTX 680sc, it runs pretty much everything I throw at it still hence as tempted as I have been by the Gigabyte 980G1, I haven't upgraded yet. I'm running it with an Core I7 at 4.4ghz. Even plays my hardcore DCS games on max at 1920..

Oh yeah, I should clarify; I try to achieve 60 FPS gaming with the highest settings at 1080p. It's really not possible with AC 3, Unity, and The Evil Within. PhysX especially takes a massive drain on resources, so I have it completely turned off in the AC games.

But, I'm definitely going to get a 980 sometime this year.

 

[Python]

Oh I see, I have a 144hz monitor, It's great for gaming but I'm not quite making use of it with the 680. I think I'll wait for the next generation of cards now though. My 680 is going too strong not too.

 

[Solidus]

That sounds neat, I think my monitor is only 68 Hz . Any idea when the newer cards are going to be announced?

 

[Python]

Once you've tried a 144hz, or even a 120, you'll never go back. I really fancy the Asus Rog Swift, but man it's pricey as heck still. No idea when the new batch will be announced, but I'm in no rush. I'm going to add another SSD first, mine works great for my OS and DCS World, but is too small to fit much else on.

I moved BF4 onto my HDD to make space on my SSD, I had barely seen a loading screen in it before, now it's taking 3-4 minutes and the match is half way through before I get in... Madness.

 

[Python]

Erm... Cool!

 

[Kibagami]

That looks amazing.

 

[Python]

I agree! Couldn't find a thread for it so I just started one, looks like it's worth keeping tabs on...

[Brainiac]

Amazing..... if the VR is anything like that video fullscreen at 1080p.... I'll be blown away by it

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Wow, that was amazing. So EVE is going to tango with Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous? Good times... Good times.
