It's like the Alienware of graphics cards..

No no no the titan x is a 4k card, its for the people that want to get the best graphical experience available.

The titan X is not any better at $k in most games than the 980Ti, get out of here with that type of mis-informaiton.

4k is realy still a 2 card deal anyway, though you can get by with decent settings and frames on a highly OC'd 980ti.

Its the lack or raw computational power thats holding them back, not memory, and in raw graphical computation an 980Ti is equal to or bette than any Titan X on the market, The only advantage a Titan X has is Double Point Precission (which sucks becuase of the X's architechture) and more memory which *theroetically* should help at 4K, but doesnt becuse the limit in 4K is still computational power not memory on any 6GB or above cards.

True, but at this moment in time, 4K is nearly not as popular in PC Gaming and really not worth investing into unless you have the spare money floating. Not saying it's a bad card. But for the difference in price, you could easily get yourself two SSD's and be set for a good while and maybe still save a bit.

More like for the differnce in price you could almost buy a second 980Ti and have a truely 4K capable system... Or at least a pair of 970's. Again though, 4K is plenty fine on a high clocked 980ti.

The more I dwell upon this. The more certain I become that it is all in jest. I mean this has to be a joke. Who would throttle their performance with hard drives, or buy a graphics card built for 4K, and marry it to a 1080p monitor, and why buy a power supply that probably isn't up to the task, and into this blast furnace they want to put a warp prone cpu.

yeh... pretty much this...

Get an SSD and higher watt PSU and you're golden.

Honestly it isn't an either or proposition. If nothing else this thread is at least giving me a chance to correct some misconceptions. Ultra high defintion monitors and televisions aren't constrained by their resolution. My television for instance supports not only ultra high definition resolution, but all previous resolutions, and can even deliver higher framerates at lower resolutions. Simply put I can play at 4K/60fps or 1080p/120fps, and frankly the prices are coming down fast. Right now I would actually recommend someone in the market for a new monitor to buy one that does support ultra high definition.

Ultimately it is about having more gaming options. Having a monitor or television that supports it doesn't mean you have to give up high framerates. It just means you are more future proof. Like I said I don't beleive the original poster is genuine. I think this is a little light trolling to kill some time, but if I did think they were in earnest. I would have recommended that they buy the better monitor, and getting by with a single solid state drive. Storage is cheap, and can be upgraded as the need arises.

I also linked a PCGamer article on it a couple pages back.

Somehow, despite metioning it and linking it ealier, it got copletly glossed over :/

that Titan X is most def over kill unless your a content creator or work in the art industry like 3d modeling or rendering.

why dont you wait for the newest graphic cards and get yourself a 1.5k-2k pc and save the rest. Yes it's overkill especially if you are not gonna be doing graphic design and ♥♥♥♥.

didnt read - a PC is never overkill.

Well, in my opinion, anything higher that 5k is overkill

No such thing as overkill when it comes to gaming rigs ,dont forget you will be planning for the future gaming spec

[Atlas]

So I should just get 2 980Ti instead of a Titan X

that would be better.

Though, like others have said, that is a bit overkill.

A sinlge 980ti shreads 1080P which is what you plan to play at.

A single 980ti with good overclock is enough for 4K.

Since you are not getting a 4k screen I would not get a second 980.

Rather than a second 980, get one REALY good one that overclocks well, then take the money saved and upgrade to a 4k screen.

Also, dont skimp on the PSU, as others have mentioned, you do need a good one.

Nope stick with your posted spec,and ssd it and overkill your cooling system plan dont skint on the fans

You can never overkill a gaming rig trust me,you need to keep up with the tech in advance
