So with all the hype surrounding the GTX 1080, the price of secondhand Titan X's has plummeted to around the same price as a GTX 1070. After doing some research I've found that with an overclock, the Titan X is actually on par with the GTX 1080 in some games, and better in others.
I've already got a GTX 1080 on the way. Talk me out of returning it and getting a Titan X instead for the price of a GTX 1070.

How much heat and noise is an overclocked Titan X going to produce?
Can your motherboard and PSU handle it?
Enjoy your housefire.
>>55163353
How's the heat and power usage in comparison?
>>55163353
Titan X will probably not get much more powerful in the future.
GTX 1080 will receive driver updates which will improve performance considerably for at least the next year or so. By this time next year the GTX 1080 may outpace the Titan X in every benchmark.

A stock 1080? How is it compared to an overclocked 1080?

Is the original Titan X still pretty good? I have been thinking about getting one since it has a lot of CUDA cores and can be found for about $250 if you look around for a while.
>>55163437
Oops, that was supposed to be "Original Titan", not the Titan X.
>>55163371
It's about 5 degrees hotter with an overclock, at 94 degrees. Power consumption is a lot higher though at 250w. You can let it draw max 120% power which tops out to 300W.
That should bring my build to 550W. My PSU is rated 650W Gold 80+.
>>55163432
The GTX 1080 seems to be nearly maxed out already. Even with silicon lottery winners people are only getting it up to about 2100hz boost clock, that's not guaranteed under load though.
>>55163413
Considering how much cheaper it is, I could potentially sell it 2 years down only losing half of what I paid and get another card down the anyway.
>>55163373
It's about 5 degrees hotter, power usage is a lot higher though. Noise wise, I'd assume they were identical since they both use pretty much the exact same cooler.

I have a 6700k which can deal with that.

I honestly don't know enough about the card.
>>55163353
>So with all the hype surrounding the GTX 1080
lol what hype, the $900 hype? that's no hype.
>>55163561
It's $700 for a FE. They can't keep them on shelves. There's a lot of hype around the card.
>>55163523
6% gains from overclocking. Absolutely MASSIVE.
You can get a 50% overclock on a Titan X though.
>>55163523
that graph massively overstates what an overclock will do
those same cards are maybe 2-3 fps faster in games
nvidia has locked these cards down so they can more easily sell a Ti in 6 months that is ~15-20% faster
>>55163624
>Absolutely MASSIVE.
Absolutely straw man.
>6% gains from overclocking
At a minimum? Either way, it is clear that there is some overclocking potential for the 1080 so we return to the previous question.

Know your memes. I stayed on point and spoke strictly about the image you posted.
>>55163676
>At a minimum
no, what you are seeing is pretty near the maximum
>>55163768
>I stayed on point
What was the point? Was the point that 1080 has a massive overclock?

The 6% is the total gained in your synthetic benchmark.

Comparing Metro 2033: Last Light
30fps at 4k with 2.1ghz OC on a GTX 1080
70 FPS on a 1.5ghz OC Titan X
>>55163810
It was sarcasm dipshit. 6% is fucking nothing, it doesn't have much headroom for overclocking at all.

Nigga the fuck you talking about. A strawman is where I refute a point you didn't make.
Sarcasm doesn't fall under strawman. Have you taken your meds today? I think your spectrum disorder is flaring up again.
(That's ad hominem)
>>55163572
$900 in my country, that shit won't sell here.
I will go with rx480.
I dont know where you're getting 1070 prices unless you're talking about gouged to hell 1070 prices for a titan x, at least looking at ebay
>>55163915
You do that. But I can afford to go bigger, and I'm asking for opinions from others who can do the same.
>>55163926
In the UK the 1070 is £399 RRP, the going rate for a Titan X is also about £350 - 400. RRP for a GTX 1080 is £620
>>55163833
>I DUN GOOFED
Average for Titan X 1.5ghz is 40fps.
>>55163884
You are an absolute idiot. Sarcasm does not equal straw man.
6% overclock is a pretty shitty overhead; if any overclocker ever got a CPU, GPU, or RAM stick they could only overclock 6%, they'd immediately toss it.
>>55163909
Are you arguing that your sarcasm was "on point?" You did not sarcastically attack a point not made, ie. a straw man?
>>55163353
Get a 980 Ti for even less, dumbass. Titan is never a good buy.
>not using 480s in crossfire
>>55163972
OP here, to be fair to him, the card will actually get a 24% OC in raw clock speed. however real world performance increase as posted in his graph is only 6%.
>>55163980
Your point and graph were to refute my point of the card already being nearly maxed out. I merely commented sarcastically on the fact that your graph disproves what you set out to prove. If you want to get into the semantics of debating in the English language, I'd be more than happy to give you some lessons, as long as you can afford the hourly rate that is.
>>55163991
Roughly the same price as the Titan X second hand and less memory. And on average about 10% slower than the GTX 1080 wheras the Titan can hold it's own.
>>55163972

If doesn't only when it is not presented for any substantive purpose, ie. "for the lulz."

Great idea anon.
show me where you can get a titan x for 400 bucks and I'll suck your dick
>>55164156
It's £400 Great British Pounds Sterling.
They're about $500-600 US.
>>55163371
I just put mine in a custom loop. Max temp so far 44C with an idle temp of 26C.
Room thermostat says 23C.
just a second hand 980ti instead. why would you ever invest a titan card when you can only get them with terrible reference coolers and pcbs?
>>55164188
Have you tried the 1.5ghz custom bios OC?
Also, I'll be running mine on air on an AIO cooler at best. So There's no way it'll ever stay that cool.
>>55164215
I have not. I have been running it with +10% power, +200MHz GPU OC and +500MHz Mem OC.
>>55164193
Reference coolers aren't bad. They use the same one as the GTX 1080 it's just the shroud isn't as angular. The reference PCB on the Titan X also uses much higher quality components than the usual cards.
As for a 980TI it would save me only £30-50 in comparison for a card that when OC'd is still 9-10% less powerful than the 1080. The Titan X would actually be able to beat the GTX 1080 in some situations, and go toe to toe in others.
>>55164248
What resolution you playing at? What sort of FPS do you get in the games you play?
>>55164279
If the game supports it 5760x1080.
Otherwise I become a pleb and do 1920x1080.
Everything is normally 100FPS+
Heaven benchmark was around 100FPS on extreme.
>>55163353
The OC required would kill the Titan in a matter of months, and the 1080 does have additional features that are kinda nice.
>>55164321
See it's results like this which are pushing me further and further towards the Titan X. Considering the Titan X in these benchmarks is on stock clocks is only 5 fps away from an OC'd GTX 1080 at higher resolutions.
>>55164403
And things like that make me happy with my card. The next time I will upgrade is Big Volta. So I would have gotten 4 years out of a single card instead of upgrading every year to keep a decent FPS.
(Thanks AMD for putting out the lowest common denominator cards.)
