| 1434984 | 2017-05-08 21:59:00 | Nope, Ti is what they've used as a designated things as for ages, means "Titanium". I had a Ti card about 15 years ago, long before the Titan came out. I always thought they were the same. Not sure I have seen a Titan, or didn't recognize it as one |

Also they re-used the name with multiple releases so you have to be careful to get the current one. Titan X was faster than the 1080 then the 1080 Ti came out and was even faster and cheaper, then a new Titan Xp came out that's faster again. But not by much www.pcadvisor.co.uk Titan has been the top end card of each release for a few generations now, tends to be the fully enabled version of the same chip that the 1080 & Ti are based on whereas they have some parts disabled. |

Hah Even I think that is ridiculous :) |

| 1434989 | 2017-05-08 23:53:00 | But you can SLI 2x 1080Ti's for basically the same as a Titan XP :D As for games, the ones I play on my GTX1080 happily sustain over the 60hz my monitor does at 4K, or the 144hz at 1080p on my other monitor, so eeking out any other minor performance is basically just e-peen bragging rights or "buffer" for the bigger team-fights (Hasn't been a problem for me). The nice performance bump the 1080Ti offers over the 1080 will mean that's even less of an issue for you (Future-proofing yourself really). Just find one that's a brand you're cool with, like Gigabyte, and has the ports you want, then go for it. Keep in mind you'll likely be using Displayport for the higher resolution or refresh rate, as the HDMI cable must be 2.0 to support 4K @ 60hz etc so make sure your monitor and cables are going to be all matched up to accommodate your new rig too |

Only getting one 1080 Ti. I found SLI to be severely underwhelming |
