So.. I am confused as to why the Asus Geforce GTX Titan is more expensive than the Gigabyte GTX 980 G1, every website I checked the specifications for, the core speed of the 980 G1 is much higher than the Asus Geforce GTX Titan. My goal is to just get a great gaming rig on a regular probably 22" monitor as I don't fancy playing games on a bigger screen than that. but the 980 G1 is cheaper and seems faster? or am I missing something here? thanks in advance for anyone who helps out :)  here's the website for the Asus Geforce GTX Titan http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=... , and here's the website for Gtx 980 G1 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=... cheers :)

Can you clarify more in detail why the 970 would be better for saving money yet the same performance on 1080p monitor rather than the 980 G1?

because it has way better cost/performance ratio you do not really gain much better performance from 980 on 1080p monitor but the cost is almost double.

well, the 970 is about 80% the performance of the 980, and $200 cheaper. with a single 1080p monitor, the 970 should handle most games on ultra.

alright I see I see, i never knew it was all about monitor sizes but that makes sense I guess, well good thing I never planned on gaming on a bigger monitor size :)  thanks so much! :D

its not the size of monitor, but the resolution ;)

Yeah, the 980 would probably win in terms of clock speed because it's highly optimized for overclocking due to it's awesome heat/power efficiency. The Titan is a real tank with it's enormous memory bandwidth and stuff so it's more built for higher resolutions with modded out games.

So for a 22" monitor, unless that 22" is a 4k or something, I would go with the 980 or maybe even the 970. I heard the 970 is where the real value is at
