we also were not talking about my video cards we were talking about the titanX and the 295x2. My gpu's do what i want them to for 1080p.

From the Tech report.

With 4GB of RAM onboard, the R9 290X and GTX 980 handled this scenario similarly, with occasional frame time spikes but general competence. With only 3GB, the GTX 780 Ti couldn't quite keep it together.

Meanwhile, although the R9 295 X2 has 8GB of onboard memory, 4GB per GPU, it suffers because AFR load-balancing has some memory overhead. Effectively, the 295 X2 has less total memory on tap than the R9 290X. Thus, the 295 X2 really struggles here. My notes say: "Super-slow ~7 FPS when starting game. Occasional slowdowns during, should show up in Fraps. Slow on enemy kill sequences. Super-slow in menus. Unacceptable." The fix, of course, is to turn down the texture quality, but that is a compromise required by the 295 X2 that the 290X might be able to avoid. And the Titan X laughs.

I guess you like the good stuff above when spending 700 on a graphics card

 

[mr91]

TITAN X is the way it's mean to be played lol!

 

[azzazel_99]

lol ok keep defending your $1000 gpu thats gets beat for cheaper 😉 if its what you like then im happy for you. You just wont ever catch me wasting money this way. Wasting in my eyes clearly not yours. To each their own and numbers dont lie.


On a side note i will admit its performance is impressive but its not a $1000 gpu. Thats my opinion of course.

 

[mr91]

You're entitled to your opinion. Earlier you sad it was shit and now you think it's impressive... Seems like you're not sure..

I think that about sums it up. At the end of the day, there are those willing to pay the money, and there are those that don't think it's worth it. And that's normal, nothing wrong with that. All I'm saying is if you're someone who's willing to spend that money, then the Titan X is very impressive.

 

[azzazel_99]

nvidia's price tag and wat u get for that price tag do make it sh*t. Its performance is good for single gpu but not worth its price.

 

[azzazel_99]

i'd give $700 tops for it being it a flagship card. just my opinion though.

Yeah but, you paid over a grand for the 295. How come? Or was it a mistake?

 

[azzazel_99]

i dont own the 295x2 lol. If you think about it though 2 gpu's generally are going to cost more anyway. Im thinking about getting this shadow of mordor now. It looks fun.

But you said you paid for it. Or was that something else?

Also, Shadow of Mordor is quite fun. You don't be disappointed.

 

[azzazel_99]

No i said i would buy the 295x2 over the titanX and then i said you can almost buy 2 295x2's for the price of one titanX. Would cost you an extra $200 but you'd have quad sli lol. The game does look fun after watching the videos on it. May pick it up and try it out. Don't know though my game experience may suck unless i have the titanX ^_^ just a jab sorry. lol

Don't forget to change your textures to medium when you play Shadow of Mordor.

 

[mohit9206]

Currently no games take advantage of Titan X's 12GB frame buffer, however this card is meant to be future proof. So in due time when games would require massive amounts of vram, then the Titan X would really be able to flex its muscles especially at 4K leaving all cards with 3gb/4gb vram in the dust.

 

[azzazel_99]

Lol at medium settings.

Lol, the game totally locks up my current 780TI, that's for sure. For that reason I play on lowered settings. The second map is even more demanding due to grass density.

 

[azzazel_99]

Every benchmark I'm seeing on high settings at 1080p (what I play on) is well over 70,80,90 and 100 fps consistently with similar setups as mine. I don't plan on running anything at 1440p or higher any time soon so I think I'll be alright. From what I read if your gpu gets maxed in this game it uses system ram instead of gpu vram. I'll let ya know how it runs on my gpu's running overclocked.

 

[azzazel_99]

Oh and on a side note if I wanted to run the hd texture pack yea I'd have to turn down to a thing or two maybe but we'll see how it goes. I will report back results once I get home from work and get it installed.

I personally doubt that it does actually require 24GB RAM haha.

Can't blame you, a lot of people think that. Even me actually, lol.

Btw, latest in, after receiving 1000's of complaints, looks like NVidia finally changed it back to 8-16GB.

However, this time, they're saying that the manual is correct, even though earlier they said it was incorrect lol.

Haha go figure. Typical nvidia for you.
