1x 1080ti or SLI 1080s

[Barnabas]

Sell your current 1080 and get the 1080ti.

I'm not incorrect it seems. At least in the video I posted Jay was talking about the build. If he made yet another build with Titan X SLI, I wasn't aware of it. That doesn't change his opinion that upgrading to the 1080 Ti isn't worth the trouble. After all, he did move onto the Titan X, which I guess was worth his trouble?

Really shocked at how so many people are defending the 1080 Ti, as if I just upset their political party or their football team. We are talking about a $700 graphics card here.

Yes you are incorrect. Terry build his own PC with dual 1080s a year ago and the build Jayz build for him never had 1080s in them nor did he plan to use them.
You do realize that the 1080ti wasn't released when he had to decide which GPUs he'd use right? When the 1080ti was released he already had the Titan Xs and since the performance difference between those cards is small he didn't bother to upgrade.

This is the generally consensus I'm hearing about the 1080 Ti and now the Titan Xp. While the Ti is faster, it isn't worth buying over the regular 1080. The Titan Xp is an even bigger joke, as not long ago Nvidia had released the 1080 Ti. Jayztwocents even states that the 1080 Ti's aren't worth over the 1080 for Terry Crews's computer. Yes, that Terry Crews. And the Titan Xp is much faster than the 1080 Ti, which would be worth getting if you had money to burn.

Not at all.









If you're playing at higher resolutions the Ti is much faster than a normal 1080. It doesn't stretch it's legs until you actually feed it very demanding shit.

I play on 1080p 144hz and still have a 4.7ghz 2500k with 8gb DDR3 1600. The bottleneck is real. I have to activate 4k DSR and max everything out just to get it to use more than 30-50% of it's power. It's a monster. I'll be upgrading the rest of my system soon though. Possibly when the 7740k comes out. It was time to ditch my 670's though.

I had a 1080 in an AMD FX computer and man, that was rough. That bottleneck was insane. I can't imagine a 1080ti on a 2500k, overclocked or not. Man, those were amazing chips.
