I don't really care if I run my games at 4K resolution or not. I am mainly using this for 4K video editing. I do a lot of heavy editing with After Effects and Sony Vegas- mainly After Effects though (CC edition to be exact).
I went on GPUboss and they are both closely rated. I do play games- but again, mainly going to be using this for 4K editing than anything. What is the advantage of going with one over another? I wouldn't mind spending less with the 980 TI- but if spending extra and getting a Titan X will severely help my rendering and editing- then I'd rather spend the extra. Thoughts?

Yes titanx better but worth the price difference ? I don't think so. There is a lot of parts that you can get with that difference. pci-e ssd...

I am wondering about the exact same thing. From what I can tell GPU memory is the biggest difference 6GB vs 12GB. Most games don't use more than 6GB of video RAM, so that is why Titan X usually isn't work the difference in price, but from what I've read video ram is heavily used by Adobe Premiere (I can assume AfterEffects also?), but I don't know about Vegas. So I can imagine the 12GB would be helpful in that application.

But I'd like a little more quantitatively objective answer than that to seal the deal for me. I just can't find any benchmark on video editing functions on the web with these gfx cards.

Titan x is a waste of money. I edit 6k Red R3D footage in Premiere on dual MSI Gtx 980ti's I never even get close to filling the video memory up. At 6k in real world I'm only ever using around 4gb of the 6.. unless you plan to edit 8k from the new Dragon sensor. 4k footage from my Sony A7R ii only uses 2GB of Vram. The second 980ti is for gaming anyway. It's really all about the CPU. Save your money and get a 980ti

Real world is whats important.. if you get the titan you wont even notice a difference.

Filman...I'm getting new laptop to edit 4k Red stuff... I was thinking Sager np9870-s with the sky lake desktop processor and desktop geforce 980 gpu...but wondering if you think it's worth shelling out for all those $$$ over the 980mobile version Geforce card in slightly lower priced laptop they offer (Both options will have FAST SSD's and 32ram)
