2 1080s will be awesome for either 1440 or 4k. A single Titan I hear is not enough for 60fps in 4k with everything maxed.

The Titan is only 20-30% faster then a 1080. If that's worth an extra $500+ then go for it.. but 2 1080s in sli will drag that Titan in any game that uses sli.



I think for now I'll grab a 1080 Hybrid(when I can find one in stock), as I really like the closed loop core cooler design, and play it safe with a single GPU for now, and hope if the 1080Ti comes out, it's within 3 months of now. (and not 91 days, as my luck would suggest)
I think the single 1080 will be beefy enough for single GPU 1440p gaming.. at least enough to keep framerates fluid. 
 
I would try and wait it out, but my frame rate in Elite on planetside in the SRV is terrible.. even at 60, the motion sickness is real. Hoping a HFR monitor will ease or alleviate that, coupled with a better GPU.

Cool GTX, let me be the devil on your other shoulder: don't do it!
 
You've got a great rig already, and we're only a few months from the next big thing. Hold on now, then splurge on the next big thing and you'll be all set!


+1, Sensible reasoning.

I'm getting 45% + faster on my Titan XP versus my 1080 FTW...both are overclocked.

Folding @ home as the primary data point.
 
Then Heaven benchmark.
 
When I ran Timespy benchmark, I saw a 35% increase in graphics score.

Update to numbers...crunched 2 days worth of production...average production:
 
Titan X Pascal (1900 MHz GPU): 1,186,151 points (just shy of 1.2 million...not quite the 1.3 million of my original post)
1080 FTW (2100 MHz GPU): 799,598 points
 
So, the Titan X Pascal (overclocked) shows 48% more production than a 1080 FTW (overclocked).
 
Not too shabby!




( | V1 - V2 | / ((V1 + V2)/2) ) * 100 

= ( | 1186151 - 799598 | / ((1186151 + 799598)/2) ) * 100 
= ( | 386553 | / (1985749/2) ) * 100 
= ( 386553 / 992874.5 ) * 100 
= 0.389327 * 100 

= 38.9327% difference

Thanks for the math lesson...my turn:
 
If I'm driving 50 miles per hour, I go 50 miles in one hour.
 
If I drive 48% faster, I am driving 50 * 1.48 = 74 miles per hours...and I go 74 miles in one hour.
 
1,186,151 / 799,598 = 1.483434 = 48.3434% ~ 48% MORE
 
As a check, if I multiply 799,598 * 1.483434 I get 1,186,151

Its strange how the titan xp is so much faster than the 1080 being 11 tflops vs 9 maybe its the memory bandwidth at 480 gb/s stock that add to the rest of the difference maker.

Not really sure...I will bet that the gap narrows some with driver optimization.
 
Edit: There is another price to be paid...the Titan X Pascal is REALLY LOUD when running...the 1080 FTW is pretty darn quiet.
