Honestly i use 3 980s, 4790k in my gaming pc and i had stuttering which is why i went and bought almost the exact same one i listed for u. and i havent had a single problem with it yet. i can have multi editing programs open at once. and it even does good with playbacks and gaming (i know u said u didnt want a gaming pc) the reason the titan is better then a 980 is that the titan was designed to be a powerhouse card for both worlds not just one. and its cheaper then gettin a workstation gpu
