Titan X for 300 dollars less? This is the GTX 980 Ti!

The long awaited GeForce GTX 980 Ti has arrived. While it delivers similar performance to the Titan X, it costs 350$ less, making it the Ultimate Gaming Video Card that you can actually buy. 
With a single 980 Ti you can play almost any game with max settings in 1440p and some less demanding titles even in 4K. But if you're not satisfied with these results you can connect up to four 980 Ti-s together with 4-way SLI and play any game at max settings in 4K.

"So what's the difference between the Titan X and the GTX 980 Ti?" you might ask. Well the truth is not much. The Titan has a bit more CUDA cores and twice as much memory, but that memory doesn't really affect gaming performance because 12 gigabytes is completely overkill. These cards have the same features, the same base clock and the same year of release. 

So if you want a beast of a gaming PC and you wouldn't like to pay 300 dollars more for two extra frames per seconds, then the 980 Ti is your best choice. Though the R9 300 series might change this when it comes out at the end of month.
