Hello:
I am purchasing a new video card in the next day or two. I'm replacing an Asus GTX 980 OC. The two options are the Asus GTX 1080 OC, $950, or the Titan X Pascal, $1650, Canadian dollars. I don't do much in the way of over clocking myself beyond the presets in the manufactures software. I have a triple monitor setup running 5760x1080. Currently my monitors are all 1080p and will continue that way for the foreseeable future.
Current machine is:
i7-6700k - not oc'ed at the moment
32 gigs of ram running at 2133 MHz
Asus Maximus Hero MoBo
1000 watt power supply
I like to play a variety of different games including:
Project Cars
Witcher 3
Borderlands series
Crysis series
Guild Wars
X-Plane (rarely but... its a flight simulator)
It's my understanding that the Titan doesn't really pay off until you are doing 4k gaming but considering the width of my monitors I have nearly 1.7x the pixels of a single 2560x1440 monitor system.
I realize this is a subjective issue but I am curious as to what others would do. I can swing the Titans cost but it makes things tight for now, but if I'm going to spend a chunk of money to replace my old card I would like to have a fair bump in performance. Want pushes the Titan, practicality might call for the 1080. I tend to keep video cards for 3-4 years, more if I can.
Is the Titan a good way to go considering the large resolution or is the 1080 the better way to go for performance/cost?
