1416386 2016-02-23 06:54:00 Do you really need 12GB of Video RAM? because the 980Ti matches the performance of the titan-x for a much lower price if not and 6GB is still a lot.
If there's one component that's very hard to future proof it's the graphics card, buying the extreme top end over the next step down might buy you a few months extra at best (entirely opinion of course).

For me personally I prefer single card solutions as there is just less hassle and expense all round and gaming is still great. Replacing my GTX980 with the equivalent every 2-3 years is still a lot cheaper than buying a pair of 980ti's.
Of course our gaming preferences are likely different.

Need is relative
Want is powerful

I need a good machine I can have built and then ignore for 5 years until I do it again.
Now I already have a 980 and replacing it with a Ti will be better but its hard to justify such a small jump when I could jump bigger to a TitanX.
Also as this is being built in Auckland I can't just have some of my existing parts built into the new machine (besides I have sold most of them)

I was just going to get a single Titan then I thought what the hell.
