err... it seems like you had your mind set before you posted this thread, because I don't think anyone here advocated for the single titan x. If you're gonna go with a single card you should probably get the single 980ti... titan is not a good price/performance ratio. But either way it is definitely a more powerful card, and if that's what you truely want go for it

on par, give or take a few frames
but for that money you can get 3 or 4 fury x's and those beat out those titan x's again

titan x is slightly stronger but so so so much more expensive. Titan x is so overkill and you would be wasting your money. I really really would recommend the crossfire r9 fury's unless by some weird chance you happened to find hybrid titan x's at the same price as the fury cards

you are using this PC for gaming, right?

yep, titan x, concurrent of apple on terms of overpriced. titans always are overpriced

My business partner and I put together essentially the same recreational systems earlier this summer, only I used two Fury X's and he used two 980ti's. Our main use case is limited to VR testing and development, and in those cases the Fury's usually win. In multi-monitor gaming at 1440p, and in 4k, they trade blows. Titan X's, despite the confusing naming convention, should have been named using 'consumer Quadro' somewhere in the description as that is what it really is.

^ yeah what this guy said. The high price tag for the titans is because they aren't really meant for gaming, they're meant for other purposes but if you're buying the computer for the purpose of gaming it's not a good use of money

I know, it's a half-step on it's way to the pro line of GPU's.

get 2 fury x's
titan isn't worth the money for gaming

take a better look at the settings used in the benches, are they the same for all 3 cards? no? how unfortunate, these are worth nothing. and btw, they are old too.

I still feel rather uncomfortable on that 4k VRAM... I mean From the website you gave me it seems that the r9 fury x's in crossfire seem to have a lot of stuttering and stuff. Plus Im referring to the Titan x Hybrid.. which comes factory overclocked with much higher stock clocks and cooler while under load. Also... they use 16gb of ram.. and the titan x requires minimum of 24gb of ram... so again my question is.. r9 fury x's x2 crossfire or a single hybrid titan x superclocked watercooled?

I don't think you recognize the difference in price between these two cards, which is why most people on this thread are recommending the fury x. the fury x goes for around $600, while the titan x goes for around $1000. So you can spend $1200, or $2000.... And if you run dual fury x cards vs a single titan x it will blow it out of the water. I think the hybrid titan goes for even more $, about $100 more. So by going with fury x crossfire you are saving a crap ton of money and getting very similar performance

I still don't get why you seem to be ignoring the high-end, water cooled GTX 980 Ti's in SLI. The MSI Sea Hawk, Gigabyte Waterforce, and Asus Poseidon Platinum are without question some of the "best video cards money can buy", right up there with the MSI Lightning and maybe one or two others.

Quotes:
MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK
"If you are having trouble deciding on that video card to go with, the MSI GTX 980 Ti LIGHTNING and or the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK, we can say without a doubt that if you have the room for the radiator the better video card all around is the SEA HAWK for the following reasons. It has liquid cooling built in, this provides a quiet operation with an extremely cool GPU that has the potential to be the best overclockable clock speeds. In addition, just at its base out-of-box overclock because of the liquid cooled GPU it is able to achieve a higher GPU Boost clock speed in games than any other video card, offering performance that blows away a reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti card's performance. The MSI SEA HAWK is able to do this in the size of a normal reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti not requiring massive PCB or heatsink sizes, making for a smaller package. The MSI SEA HAWK video card is more than worthy of our [H] Gold Editor's Choice Award."

ASUS ROG Poseidon Platinum GTX 980 Ti
"When it comes to this price range, there isn't anything the competition has that can compete with it. The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X comes close with its custom liquid cooling solution, if only it could perform as well as the GeForce GTX 980 Ti then there might be some competition with the Poseidon. Alas, it does not, and so at $709.99 the ASUS ROG Poseidon Platinum GTX 980 Ti stands on its own. It wins in every way possible, better performance than the competition, under liquid cooling better temperatures, silent operation, better power efficiency and overclocking to the highest we've seen at default voltage period."

Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti Waterforce Xtreme
"Gigabyte's GTX 980 Ti Waterforce Xtreme Gaming joins the competition for the best GTX 980 Ti with a watercooling solution that's pre-installed, pre-filled, and maintenance-free. Besides its extremely long name, the card comes with a large overclock out of the box, on both GPU and memory, which makes it faster than any other GTX 980 Ti we tested so far. Compared to the GTX 980 Ti reference design, the increase is 21% at 4K, which is probably similar to the performance uplift we can expect from NVIDIA's next-generation Pascal cards. Compared to the GTX Titan X, the Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti is a whopping 14% faster - at a fraction of the price. AMD's Radeon R9 Fury X is 17% behind, and the gap widens to 20% at lower resolutions. Overall, this makes the Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti Waterforce the fastest GTX 980 Ti we tested so far, slightly ahead of MSI and ZOTAC."

I mean you do understand the titan x hybrid is a watercooled titan x with 12gb of vram and can go up to 400gb/sec bandwith from its high overclock capabilities right? Given that.. are 2 R9 fury x's crossfire better than 1 titan x 12 gb hybrid overclocked? because Many websites are saying that more vram and 1 single card are better over 2 cards? Also... i heard crossfire doesn't always work for all games.. some can work with it others make it worse.. wouldn't that be a reason to consider the titan x hybrid?

single vs double is when the performance would be the same, like 2 960's vs 1 980, they would have the same performance, but then you should buy the 980. in this case they perform the same, so this doesn't apply here.
and about the vram, the titan x has more vram than you would ever need (exept if you go for 4way sli and have at least 3 4k screens) yes the fury's downside is it limited vram, but 4gb is still plenty, only a few times where 4gb is not enough on 4k.
and crossfire not working on every game? the games that almost noone plays, non demanding titles, beta's and the new releases yes, but all these things apply to sli as well. and if it doesn't work than you still have 1 fury x, which is only slightly worse than the titan x.
so yes, 2 fury x's are still better than a titan x, even with a significant overclock.

My question is why are you only comparing the TitanX to the FuryX in Crossfire? Why are you not also considering the TitanX with these watercooled GTX 980 Ti's in SLI for approximately the same price range as a pair of FuryX's? They would mostly eliminate the concerns of the Fury's, which are not enough VRAM and relatively inconsistent driver support.

I know it's a TitanX Hybrid liquid cooled, but it's still all reference components underneath. Those 980 Ti's use all custom upgraded PCB components with enhanced power phases. They will Turbo Boost and overclock higher and more consistently as a result of those quality components. According to the reviews, your TitanX would need a 14% overclock just to match the Gigabyte Waterforce out of the box, which can also overclock beyond that level.

Well to be honest.. Titan x Hybrid is 1 card... single GPU that is the best single GPU on the planet.. comes factory overclock higher than a 980ti hybrid.. now.. 1 hybrid 980ti is like 759$ 1.... and its aBIT expensive.. id rather go for the r9 fury x crossfire then rather than get the hybrid 980ti's that go for SOMUCH money.. r9 fury x goes for like 589$ right now on newegg.... and 1 titan hybrid goes for like 1099$ the reason I keep going back to that Titan x hybrid is because Ive heard it can have some pretty bad ass overclock... and its a Single card. with lots of VRAM..... and watercooled so it will perform better? Whenever i see these benchmarks there are 2 furys crossfire vs 2 980ti both are oced and the titan x sli is on air.. and not oced so I kinda feel like the titan is being underrated... I know its more expensive id eventually get a second titan x hybrid OC and in SLI but I'm just wondering.. because I see several games like open world and far cry 4 where the r9 furys are JUST COMPLETE SHIT. n
