Okay so I have been reading a few threads on the Titan X Pascal vs the GTX1080.
I have built a general purpose PC that is in my living room. The idea was to future proof as best I can, bearing in mind the fluid nature of PC tech. I will be surfing, watching 4k movies and TV shows, Gaming on latest games and some futures games like Star Citizen. I also have a HTC Vive and am expecting as better developed titles are released I will be using more and more. PC consists of Intel i7 6700k, Asus Maximus Extreme VIII, Samsung M.2. 950 pro,
32gb G.SKILL TridentZ Series F4-3200C, In Win Open Frame black gold, Raijintek Triton 140mm AIO Water Cooling "later changed to Thermaltake RGB Fan 240 mm & EVGA SuperNova P2 750W Platinum. Finally I currently have a GTX 980 strix on loan from my son. He has my old 970. He wants his strix back
My question is this GTX 1080 or Titan X Pascal? Now this were I find lots of diverging opinions. Some people say get a second card, example say 2x 1070, others say go with a GTX 1080 and then others still say if money if no issue go for the Titan X Pascal as it gives the most future proofing. So for me I'm not trying to break new bench marking ground. I want a superior system for both gaming 4k at 60FPS + all ultra settings and watching movies in 4k. My understanding is that SLI is not going to make gaming experience any better as there is hardly any support for it and is getting less. Furthermore the current generation of VR does not support multi GPU cards. I believe the GTX1080 ti is due to drop soon. So question may turn into 1080 vs Titan X. Last generation the Ti sucker punched the TX, could that be the case again. There is also the question of the TX's heat profile which I'm lead to believe could be problematic for ultra 4k 60fps+ and may require a water cooled sleeve of some kind. Alright then maybe the answer is a water cooled Titan X? Anyone care to offer some advise?
