TITAN X (pascal) SLI for 34 Asus Ultrawide

[marccarbo]

Hi all,

I'm thinking to get 2 TITAN X (Pascal) to run my Ultrawide Asus PG348Q with GSync (100 Mhz) with my ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME and my I7 3980k.

Do you think I'm going to have any bottleneck with this CPU?
Do you think I'm going to see improvement running with a2 way SLI compared to a single GPU?


The idea is to connect sometimes my rig to my 4K TV also.

Thank you very much,

For 4k gaming you will need a titan xp sli, and in 4k the cpu doesnt really matter that much.

Hi, I have decided to get the GSYNC ultrawide 1440p 100mhz for a moment but I don't knoe if I need to get 1 TITAN XP or 2......

For that resolution and for 100 fps it may or it may not, in some games you must turn down settings to medium. To play with any game at ultra 100+ fps you need two titans for sure, if you are willing to turn some settings to medium one is enought for 100+ fps.

EDIT: Why you dont wait for 1080ti, will be titan level performance with a much lower price, maybe for teh price of a titan you can get 2 1080 ti.

1 Titan XP is more than enough for 4K, although it is true you may not get 100 FPS all the time. I would suggest against SLI as many games will not support SLI anymore. There is also no definite evidence of the 1080 Ti.

Titan x is not enought for 4k 60+ fps. http://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/nvidia-gtx-titan-x-review-benchmarks, as you can see if you get the setting to ultra at 4k it struggles.

Again another proof, that it struggles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkApiqnUPs.

A single Titan XP cant handle 4k at ultra (no aa included because of the very high resolution), for 4k 60+ or 100+ fps you need 2 titan x or cut down some quality settings.

I would just go with a single Titan XP. No single card will run every game at 100fps but if the game doesn't support SLI your second $1200 GPU will just sit idle. Even if you aren't locked at 100fps G-sync keeps everything pretty smooth.

Every major title which is gpu hungry had support for my crossfire setup, witcher 3 works flawlessly, GTA V same, Assassing creed 3 to latest, crysis 3, crysis 2, battlefield, metro 2033, metro last light, call of duty all titles including ghost and infinite warfare, far cry 3,4 and primal, tombraider and rise of the tombraider, they all worked wonderfull in multi-gpu set-up, the only titles which i had problems they didnt need a second videocard (starcraft 2, it is mostly cpu dependent, Doom vulkan and opengl does not support multi-gpu i got on vulkan 150+ fps, and many very old or not very demanding titles.)

I have run several multi gpu setups in the past and to me the support was better a few years back. Recently Doom, Forza Horizon, Gears of War 4, Dishonored 2, and Deus Ex had no multi gpu support. Personally I think the single titan would be a great match for the pg348q. If you want multi gpu and the games you play support sli 1080's would do the same thing for half the price since you are capped at 100hz refresh anyway.

Crossfire & Sli seems to be dying but then I'm not surprised. The cost of developing and supporting drivers for what is such a niche market has probably put Nvidia and AMD off. I don't think its ever got the consumer support they wanted (more people buying 2 gpu's). Then the cost to game developers to support it in games will put them off too.

Deus Ex Human Revolution works great now in multi-gpu setup, teh thing is you have to be a bit patient with the support and profiles.
