I wanna upgrade my GTX 770's SLI (2gb) anyone wanna buy them both for 300$? special deal for members of this forum! let me know!
I am trying to decide to upgrade to either;
TITAN X (12gb)
or the upcoming 980 Ti (6GB)
I mainly want to game in 2K @ 60 fps -- and also play some 3D games.
any thoughts? tips? suggestions?
I own a titan x and for the most part all my games are maxed except MSAA which is set 2X and for most part games at 1080P @ 60 using hdmi checkerboard run close to 60 fps
If you want 2K @ 60 fps in 3D sli is the only solution.

I am pretty sure that they are final. One week before release there is a lot of retailers showing exact numbers - except there is $800 price on average.
Is will be smart to wait for first benchmarks before purchase but we can all assume that this will be hell of a performer for this price and there won`t be another one until next chipset generation.

Assuming those numbers don't change, my take is that you'd still be better off with a Titan X. The only reason to do 980Ti would be to try to get single card performance as good as possible, otherwise you'd find much better value with SLI 970, even with that stupid memory configuration.
If you want/need best single card performance, and you are already throwing down $800, I think you should just go all the way. Assuming that price holds, there is no way you can consider it a good value. Fair price maybe, not a good value.

I got myself a Titan X and even knowing that the 980TI is around the corner I did the purchase. I have to say that I am happy I did.
If spending 250 of your currency (I paid even more in Euros) is not hurting you financially, I do not see a reason to half the VRAM and not buying the best card on the market.
The performance and the way the VRAM is used however will depend a lot on developers and drivers I would say.
For example is it not possible to play GTAV with everything maxed out (only a bit over 4 GB VRAM for this) in 3D on stable 50 - 60 FPS on my Titan X. It might be something else in my setup, the CPU, the RAM, I do not know. But this might be a bit disappointing if you expect the magic card that solves all your problems.
I think I have go for a second one someday.

I agree with mrorange55 post but GTA 5 for some reason just is not right in 3D with the current drivers I take a 75% hit when 3D is enabled for the most part the titan x is an excellent one card solution for 1080P 3D with all the bells & whistles maxed out.
Also note that the titan-x has 12 GB the 980Ti has 6 GB
the titan has 256 more CUDA cores.
If the price is $800 for the 980 GTX I would just go with the best.
I found out to that the best video cards are always easier to sell.

GTX 980 Tis will get available with custom cooling solutions - which in many cases are MUCH better than Nvidia's reference cooler. So Titan Xs until now cannot compare in this regard.
On my current 980 (Palit Super JetStream) I am really amazed at the total silence in idle and still relatively quiet sound under load. Much improved over my previous 780 Ti, that already had one of the better custom coolers.
So if that's also of any relevance ...

For GTA5 in particular, we found out that it doesn't use more than 3 cores when in 3D. That's why there is a big hit when turning 3D on. Seems to be a driver problem, not clear, but for a game that is CPU bound like GTA5, this has a big impact.
SLI of cheaper cards will always be better than even the top card. I've always been a big fan of SLI in 3D as a natural fit, but given how poorly SLI has been supported recently, I'm seriously considering dropping SLI altogether. I can't tell if NVidia is just in a rough patch, or if they've just completely lost focus. They just announced their Shield TV for example, which sure looks like total lack of focus.

im thinking of upgrading from a 690 GTX to a Titan X or 980TI.
How does the performance compare? (at 4k in particular?)
I dont want to spend a load of money and find the performance is the same.
Also when direct X 12 comes out wont the 690 have combined VRAM and in theory a 512bit bus?
That would be a damn fast card no?
Anyway any advice appreciated!

[quote="Kolreth"]I just went from a 690 to a titan-x because of all the SLI related problems popping up since 8.1 shipped. I'm glad I did, it's a fine card.[/quote]
I would say so too. At the moment, exept the development of heat, I do not see any problem with the Titan X. It might be a bit more powerful. but yes we will have to wait for alll the adaptations on specific games, on drivers etc...

both these links claim the 980 Ti is going to be 650 USD -- which IMO is a fair price. It should be able to crush most games in the near future and to me 6GB sounds like the sweet spot for gaming. 12 GB is overkill. And leaves option for the future to add another 980 Ti in SLI and like I said, with the 6GB, I think it ought to be enough for a couple of years to come.
I am leaning towards the 980 Ti.
I just have a problem with paying 1200$ CAD for a card. 800$ CAD seems more reasonable. Then again, it's only 400$ difference. I don't want to regret not splurging a little more.

The 980 Ti is not $650.00 according to Guru3d it range is from $800 - $829 depending on SKU

There you can see a lot of upcoming models with different cooling solutions and some of them are already OC.
