Hello,
we are a gaming/it related online mag in our country, and so we have gamers in office to review games and etc
currently all gaming stations are geared up with this config:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k
RAM: 16GB DDR3 Vengence
HDD: 1TB Seagate SSHD (Hybrid Harddrive) for OS
M/B: Asus Maximus VI Extreme
VGA: 2 x AMD Radeon R9 290X
Case: Cooler Master Trooper
Monitor: ASUS PB278Q
M/K: Razer Blackwidow and Razer Oroborus

in varoius games like CoD:AW or Watchdogs or i shall say EVERY game you cant play at ultra while playing with res more than 1080p
and even on 1080p we are facing numerous flickering, blinking and flashing issues.
we have thought of changing the VGA of stations and we are decided to buy Titan X or Titan Z
and i wanted to ask you guys which one do you recomend?
money is not a problem, so which card can perform games faster and etc?
ppl say multi GPU cars are not as good as they are meant to be and they have iossues with games ....
so please help me through this
 
Solution
Well, you'll need multiple GPUs for that resolution no matter what right now, assuming you're going to run games at more than low settings.

Given the price of the Titan Z, it isn't competitive with the 980 ti or Titan X. The Titan Z costs about the same as two 980 ti cards, but it's a good amount slower than two 980 ti cards would be in SLI, though they both have 6 GB of VRAM.

The Titan X won't be noticeably faster than the 980 ti, even in SLI, but it will be able to handle more memory-hungry settings like textures. Anti-aliasing at 4K won't benefit from the Titan X because it not only requires more VRAM, but it's computationally intensive as well, so it will slow down both the 980 ti and the Titan X at 4K. Plus anti-aliasing...


I did. It's built into the motherboard. Your making me worried 😛

I don't use a sound card anyway. I have a DAC and studio monitors - much better.
