GTX 1080Ti Vs Titan X Pascal ( 2016 )

[Durwesh Naeem]

what advantage does the 1080Ti have over the old Titan X Pascal 2016 ? would it be wise in switching to the old titan x pascal 2016 from a 1080ti ? is this titan x better in overclocking ? i am using a zotac 1080ti amp extreme core edition and my chip is soo bad at overclocking ... can the old titan x pascal be overclocked to reach new titan Xp 2017 ?

1080Ti is better by a very small margin.

And if you look at price / performance its a no brainer: Stay with the 1080Ti.

they are within 3-4% of each other when it comes to performance.

here is a screenshot my gpu under load with factory clocks

the thing is i do not have the zotac 1080Ti amp extreme version, i have the zotac 1080Ti amp extreme CORE version which were chips intended for the amp extremes but they did not reach up to mark, so they rebranded these chips and named them amp extreme core edition ... my amp extreme barely has any decent waterblock, tbt i prefer EK and it has no overclocking potential ... with this titan x pascal 2016 i will be able to put a decent WB on it and probably able to OC it ... would i be doing the right thing ?

It looks like you are running at 2ghz already. Is that overclocked or at stock settings? Best case you might get an extra 50 or 100mhz which will make basically no noticeable difference.

Specs-for-specs, if you are to compare reference GPUs, Titan X Pascal vs GTX 1080 Ti, then, the GTX 1080 Ti has a slight advantage on Memory Clock Speeds, Memory Bandwidth, Core Clock Speeds, Processing Power and Texture Fill Rate:

VRAM Size: 12GB (Titan X Pascal) | 11GB (GTX 1080 Ti)
Bus Width: 384-bit (Titan X Pascal) | 352-bit (GTX 1080 Ti)
Max. Effective Memory Clock Speed: 10GHz (Titan X Pascal) | 11GHz (GTX 1080 Ti)
Max. Theoretical Bandwidth: 480GB/s (Titan X Pascal) | 484GB/s (GTX 1080 Ti)
Core Clock Speed: 1471MHz - 1531MHz (Titan X Pascal) | 1481MHz - 1582MHz (GTX 1080 Ti)
Processing Power: 10.1 - 10.9 TFLOPS (Titan X Pascal) | 10.6 - 11.3 TFLOPS (GTX 1080 Ti)
Texture Fill Rate: 317 - 343 GTexel/s (Titan X Pascal) | 332 - 354 GTexel/s (GTX 1080 Ti)
Pixel Fill Rate: 136 - 147 GPixel/s (Titan X Pascal) | 130 - 139 GPixel/s (GTX 1080 Ti)

Rest of specs are virtually the same (Note that these are reference/founders edition specs).

The main disadvantage of the Titan X Pascal is that it is exclusive to Nvidia, meaning, there are no AIB/custom models with better cooling and/or performance components unlike the GTX 1080 Ti which has a reference model AND a multitude of aftermarket models to choose from (Asus, EVGA, Galax, Gigabyte, Gainward, Palit, MSI, Zotac, etc.).

Aftermarket models perform far greater in power (e.g., more power phases and better voltage regulators, additional 12V sockets, etc), thermals/cooling (e.g., heat pipes, thermal pads, better fans or liquid cooling option, etc), and performance (e.g., higher clock speeds) due to customized components used by such manufacturers. This translates to better overclocking capabilities and higher frame rates/rendering power compared to those reference models.

i think after all your kind responses, that i should stick to my 1080Ti Amp Extreme

Good choice
and I vote for raisonjohn as best answer.
