Stock cooler, idle, load gta v maxed rampage for 10 min, could get better temps if I cranked the gpu fan speed up but this is default.
I'd just like to chip in and say the titan cooler is excellent - I think it's probably better than the ACX cooler mine has.
Whoa, what are you doing? You need at least two 1500W PSUs daisy chained together! Yeah, I think it'll be fine. I found that two Titan Xs drew about 540W during gaming without an overclock. Using maths and magic (but mostly maths) I reckon that with a good overclock you'll be drawing about 700W at the socket, meaning your PSU is probably actually supplying ~630W. Unless your running some sort of advanced programme that uses every ounce of CPU and GPU power AND have a ridiculously overclocked CPU...then you'll probably still be good!
I like the idea of peace of mind here especially if the PSU is quite old, say over 3 years, guess that's not too old but you know what I mean. don't mess about with the PSU, stick in a QUALITY psu for the job and know that if any thing goes wrong its not for the PSU wanting. http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/power-supplies/full-modular-1kw-upwards I would have recommended to get just the one 980ti at this stage and bump the PSU up and have spare dosh, 2x980ti is hugely impressive thou, BRAAGGGGGING RIGHTS!!!!
I ordered an AX860 just to be on the safe side - a 1200W unit was crazy expensive at £250. I'm quite looking forward to running two 980Ti to be honest
The 980ti is an order of magnitude better than the 980 - which is only slightly better than the 970. I'd say you may as well splash the extra £120 at that level of investment.
Having owned both, I'd agree with Parge - absolutely! Performance wise, I reckon you get more bang-per-buck with the 980 Ti.
its a completely different beast, this is a serious proper card no mistake. You will not find any one that has moved from a 780 or even a OC 980 to a 980ti and complain. Card is seriously impressive a big step up. Does any one know any thing about the pending price drop that is expected soon on the 980ti. That would be a good topic to get addressed into this thread so fokes can schedule their gpu purchasing timings? Edit: To give some hard impression, I felt the 980ti is a full third more powerful than the 980 which is impressive plus it has more vram for 4k gamers
Thanks guys for your answers. My situation is that I have my 780, which is worth below £200. I have a 10% discount on ebay till next week, found a nice Palit Super Jetsream for £520, which would cost £470 after discount, so I'm looking at adding £300 to Ti card. Would you consider this a worth purchase? I guess 980Ti could serve me well for next 2 years, hopefully... I simply never spent this much on card and feels pure madness to me, that's why I'm asking Are there rumors about price cuts on 980Ti?
Well, I'm in the club now! Just ordered Palit Super Jetstream version Paid £470, cause used that 10% off ebay voucher
Cheeky ask in here guys but whats the difference between a Titan X and a GTX980Ti? Seriously, cheeky but definitely want to know! Thanks.
Ultimately, it comes down to this: the 980Ti has 6GB VRAM, the Titan has 12GB. That's it. There is almost no point in buying a Titan X over a 980Ti. The only real way a Titan X is better than a 980Ti is when you're maxing out EVERY setting (8xMSAA etc) in a hard to run game at 4k or above - then you'll need more than one to get playable frame rates. For example, Far Cry 3 absolutely maxed out was running at just over 6GB; GTA V was using just over 7GB.
