GTX 980Ti vs GTX Titan X Superclocked?

[PCDesignerR]

Is there a GPU currently better performing than the GTX Titan X Superclocked GPU?

 

[Kenneth Barker]

No.

However, the 980Ti has performed better than the Titan X in its overclocked sates. Or nearly as good (hardly noticeable differences)

At this point for gaming. I would say go for the 980Ti at its much lower price point. You could nearly get 2 980Ti's to the Titan X SC. The Titan X is a monster of a card, but the 980Ti is right along side it in performance at $400-$500 less.

I personally am running 2 980Ti's and they do very very well.

Thanks I actually asked because I have a Titan X SC so I was just curious.

Well the Titan X is as good as it gets when money is no object, and that extra 6GBs of VRAM can make a differnece in 4K gaming in games with very large RAM requirements. (GTA V can be pushed beyond the 6GBs the 980Ti has)

Your Titan is a monster.

Better performing doing what ? Reference or non-reference ?

Gaming ?

Above we see the reference Titan X outperforming the 980 Ti by about 4.6% (91/87)

But the Gigabyte G1 980 Ti overclocks a whopping 30.8 % (134.8 / 102.6)

Techpowerup's review of the Titan X managed just a 11.8% improvement (191.7 / 171.5)

Given the extreme overclockability of the 980 Ti's, and the relative pricing, I wouldn't use anything else for Gaming or CAD workstation boxes. Jump into CAD Rendering and the Titan X would be the better card.

The RAM I see as immaterial.... tho it's possible to use more than a particular card offers, I have never see a performance impact by dropping below that level.

As shown in the test above, games showed no overall improvement using 2 Gb vs 4 GB 770s. Even a game that used 2.75 GB of RAM on a 4 GB for example, will not experience any slowdowns, dropped frames or other negative impacts if you swap in a 2 GB card.

The same story has come out each time this test has been performed since.... poorly written console ports can however be the exception to this rule.

At 4K, the answer I think is immaterial. As the Titan / 980 Ti com up well short of 60 fps on 4k in current AAA Games, I think we have to wait a generation or two before this matters.
