Hi,

Hi,

I was just about to upgrade from my Radeon 7970 to Titan X, because I need real CUDA boost for video editing applications like Adobe Premiere Pro and photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop, but somebody pointed out that I should wait for GTX 1080 instead.
All the benchmarks I was able to find so far were for gaming applications, which are not really relevant, as I have no plans on using this card for games at all.

So, is anybody able to give me some educated advice on how the new GTX 1080 may behave in photo and video editing applications vs. Titan X?

From the hardware specs perspective Titan has more CUDA cores, more memory and higher memory bus width, but I am not sure how is this going to translate in the real life performance.
Any ideas?

Thanks for this. I'll probably go with the GTX 1080. Can't wait to edit some 4K footage on this thing.
