Nvidia Pascal Based Titan 50% Faster than GeForce GTX 1080?

And here i am, waiting for my preorder to still go through for the 1080s lol, at this rate the titan p will be released.

 

Not "to the max" I'm pretty sure I said I MAY need an upgrade.

The article in the OP did however claim older i7 would bottleneck.

Here is the exact quote which is using the word likely.

It all remains to be seen.

 

Hmm, I think going from GTX1070 to Titan P would still be an awesome upgrade. Twice as long at least.

I reckon UK price will be around £1300. Might as well just get another GTX1070 and pretend it's just as good. :bang:

 

If its true, will my i7-5820k bottleneck two pascal Titans on 144hz?

 

At anything under 4K yes.

2 1080's in SLI are bottlenecking on Hilbert's test bench.

 

he's still on Gx-1x4 conspiracy :3eyes:

amazing

 

Man just one GTX 1080 at 2.05-2.1 Ghz is blowing 1440p 144hz Gsync out of the water with games maxed out AND max AA.

I can't imagine what this is needed for....(5K+ if anything).

I think I'd still rather have 2 GTX 1080's in SLI for 4K+.

Cost effective.

 

Depends. If your CPU is stock, then definitely yes. If it's overclocked to at least 4.2ghz, then the bottleneck will be much less. Also, it depends on the settings of the game, the efficiency of the SLI scaling, and last but not least, what engine/API it's using.

A well designed DX11 engine like Frostbite 3 for instance with good SLI scaling, will utilize the CPU very effectively and won't be a huge bottleneck for the GPUs. Some engines though might scale well with SLI, but use the CPU poorly which will result in bottlenecks.

And then there's DX12. With DX12, CPU overhead is reduced dramatically, and the rendering is made fully parallel, which should theoretically eliminate CPU bottlenecks, even with high end SLI setups.

 

Thanx, that was informative.
Forgot to mention, my CPU runs @ 4.3 Ghz, as for settings, id probably max everything out.
Speaking of DX 12, as far as I`ve seen from the benchmarks, it kind of sucks, which is disappointing...

 

That's because it's a brand new API, and it's going to take developers a while to master it. Every time a brand new API is released, we go through the same process.

It took I think about 2 years after DX11 was released before we began to see games really take advantage of the API. And about 4 or 5 years till DX11 reached its pinnacle with games like The Division, Witcher 3, etcetera.

DX12 seems to be going off at a faster start than DX11, but the learning curve is much steeper due to developers now having to do things that was previously take care of automatically by the API and or driver.

The best example of DX12 at the moment is probably Ashes of the Singularity. Rise of the Tomb Raider is improving, but it still has issues with memory management in DX12 mode from what I've experienced. But AotS seems like it's optimized very well, and shows large increases for DX12 vs DX11, which can be almost solely attributed to DX12's CPU optimizations.

A 50% increase on the GTX 1080, and a whopping 104% increase on the Fury X compared to DX11!
