Titan X Pascal or GTX 1080

[SparkTheFloof | TTV]

Ok I am thinking of upgrading me GPU so I can run most games at 144FPS locked Max with no problems at 1080P.

But at the moment people are saying the Titan X get bottlenecked at 1080P
I have been looking at 4K but they dont have any 144hz Monitors yet :(


I Play FPS, MOBAs, Starcraft and GW2

My system is
CPU: I7 6700K Skylake 4.2Ghz 4 Core 4 Threads (Turbo mode)
Water Cooler: Corsair H100I GTX with 2x Asaka Pirahna 120m PWM
RAM: 16GB Vengeance Pro 3200Mhz DDR4
GPU: GTX 980Ti EVGA Classified Overclock 1.2Ghz 6GBs GDDR5 7096Mhz
OS: Windows 10 Home 64Bit
Motherboard: ROG Asus Maximus Ranger Z170
PSU: Corsair RM 850x
Monitor: 24 Inch HD LCD 1980/1080 144hz with Nividia G-Sync - 3D Visions

Both are massive overkill for 1080p. Save some money and get a 1070 if you're worried about a bit of future proofing. Or get a 1080 and go 1440p/144hz.

Yeah, both are pointless if you have a single 1080p monitor

A 1070 might even be overkill.

Those cards are for 4k, or multi monitor setups.

Well the 1080 is perfect for 1440p/144hz. You are actually using the monitor to its abilities. The Pascal Titan X is definitely a 4k gpu with an astronomical price tag attached.

OP also said they were looking at 4k monitors but they don't have 144hz yet(somehow I missed this before commenting). There is absolutely no sense in waiting for that with this current crop of gpus as even the Pascal Titan X barely averages 60fps in most newer titles.

The Titan series are always overpriced (here in New Zealand the markup price tag on them is insane).

The GTX 1080 is ideal for 1440p resolution at high refresh rates.

Understand UltraHD 4K is 4 times 1080p resolution, and a single GTX 1080 can even manage that. 1440p is approx 70% more pixels than 1080p resolution.

It would best run on 1440p 165Hz if the monitor has G-SYNC. Not all games will max out the FPS, but the G-SYNC will keep the monitor in sync with whatever FPS the graphics card can dish out, keeping it smooth performance.

I would suggest getting the GTX 1080, if you want future proofing. Or just consider the GTX 1070 which would be optimal for 1080p at high refresh, unless you want overkill. It's however not much of an upgrade for the GTX 980Ti anyways.

GTX 1080 = 2x GTX 980 SLI performance levels
GTX 1070 = GTX 980 Ti / Titan X (previous version) performance levels
GTX 1060 = GTX 980

Old Titan X (Maxwell) = Ripoff, consider Pascal GTX 1070 instead
New Titan X (Pascal) = Ripoff, consider SLI instead

Your current GPU should already be great for 1080p + 144 Hz. If you need more performance, though, then look no further than the upcoming GTX 1080 Ti.

Well I was thinking of going to 1440p but not all game would run at a solid 144fps @max

A 1080 averages around 80-100fps in the majority of newer titles. DOOM seems to average about 100-120fps for me(haven't tried Vulkan yet). I have the PG279Q which is a 1440p/165hz monitor with Gsync. I haven't gone over 144hz with it yet as I really haven't seen the point. The 1080 is perfect for this monitor though.

As someone who owns both, all the comments about overkill mean squat if you havn't used the cards in question for gaming.
At 1080p you ought to be able to max everything with a GTX1080. Remember the OP wants to hit 144fps, that's a totally different thing to hitting 60fps at 1080.
If the target was 60fps at 1080 then I'd agree with the GTX1070 / GTX980ti comments but at 144fps on new AAA games...mmmmm.
I went to 1440p about 18months ago and got a Titan X (Maxwell) as my 980 suddenly got killed by the jump whereas it ran everything at 1080 and the Titan X couldn't handle everything at 60fps all the time.
Throw in future-proofing and my 2 cents say get the GTX1080. I only got the Titan XP because my res of 3440x1440 is too much for the 1080 some of the time in real worl gaming.

Also I have a GTX1080 stuffed on my shelf if you wanna buy it lol!

A 1080 for 1080p is rediculous overkill. My old 980ti wasn't even phased at 1080p and was easily over 100fps in pretty well anything out there. The 1080 is a great 1440p card. The 1070 is a good 1440p card and an excellent 1080p card...The 1060 is perfect for 1080p currently. The Titan XP is an amazing 1440p card and a good 4k card. I think that's the current state of things right now.

"My old 980ti wasn't even phased at 1080p and was easily over 100fps in pretty well anything out there"

The OP doesn't want to ever drop below 144fps ergo a 980ti isn't good enough.

[SparkTheFloof | TTV]

⚫ 980ti Runs like with G-sync disabled. I just cap the FPS ingame

Well I have been playing Overwatch at Epic settings locked at 144fps.

Guild wars 2 max out of city's runs at 144fps but in city's around 50fps

Hero's of the storm 144 dropping to 90 end game.

Evolve stage 2 running on high at 144fps ultra is 100-120.

I don't think he'll be CPU bound...I have nigh on the same CPU the Haswell I7-4790K.
Just ran the Tomb Raider benchmark fully maxed at 1920x1080 results were:
MIN: 152
MAX: 260
AVE: 208
All way above 144 I'd have to say.

[[LTT] LinusFTW]

Wait for the Gtx 1080Ti as it will be like halfway between the Titan X but will beat the Gtx 1080.
