The custom cards will not only have better coolers, but better vrms. These two things will allow for greater overclocks than Titan x

Don't be surprised if you can't log into [H] because of trolling.
Its not trolling. And World, you can stop with your "high and mighty" complex on here any time.
And as a current pissed off 970 user, 5.5GB is a VERY VALID concern considering it is a cut down version of the Titan X. And we won't know for sure till cards are in consumers hands.
The 980 Ti instantly made the Titan X irrelevant.
If you game at 1080P or possibly 1440P the Titan X is not for you. Anything higher at max settings, you will want more VRAM than 6GB. Several games I play at 3440x1440 push over 6GB of VRAM. Shadow of Mordor, GTA V, Assassins Creed Unity to name 3. Wouldn't be surprised if the new Batman game pushed VRAM too. Call them unoptimized if you want, end of the day 6GB is not enough to run them maxed out, and isn't that why we buy these high end cards? To Max out all our games...
Surely you are not that clueless to think you were actually using 18 GB of vram. There is not even a card made with that much vram so why would you say something so ridiculous? The vram usage shown in GTA V is bugged as its just multiplied by the cards being used. Your sig shows 980 SLI which means the most vram you could show in GTA V is 8 GB anyway.I managed to get GTA V settings to 8K (DSR) maxed using 18GB of VRAM.
Of course I believe you'll need 3-4 Titan X cards to get playable frames, reducing the MSAA to 4x (11GB).
Seeing games scaling up to 8GB VRAM usage is very eye-opening for what is to come.

The way I look at it: I plan on keeping my Titan X's for at least 2 years. If we look back 2 years ago we had 3GB cards being mainstream and 4GB becoming the new standard. Fast forward to today and 4GB is mainstream and barely enough. Makes you wonder what next year will bring in terms of VRAM requirements.
Well I thought it was a given that I was referring to normal desktop gpus...Not defending this moronic arguement, but you may want to check your facts first. The Tesla K80 is a video card and it has 24gb of VRAM. Granted it's a compute card and not for gaming, but still...
I partially agree with you. If we look back 2 years ago new consoles were released with a lot more ram than before. However the this middle period of cards shouldn't require another huge boost in the amount of vram aside from a game here or there.
The 980 Ti instantly made the Titan X irrelevant. No, you don't need a 12 GB frame buffer, we all knew that anyway.

1: GTA V just multiplies what it shows for VRAM usage based on the number of cards in your system.
2. In SLI and Crossfire your VRAM pool is not doubled. adding a second Titan X doesn't mean you have 24GB of VRAM available. In DirectX 12 that might change but I bet the game has to be programmed for it.
And you you still dont get it.Shows your lack of reading comprehension and understanding of VRAM usage.
I got it up to 18GB in the "settings". The very next line I stated 11GB settings for the Titan X.
Also, I can't double my VRAM with 980 SLI.
You read what you wanted to hear.
You didn't read it correctly also.
4GB is 4GB, that all the game will see with my 980s, but in GTA you can max the settings beyond the limit just to see what would you need to run it.
I didn't run those settings, only seeing what's possible.

There's no way possible to play at these "settings", but it's a good way to see if your GPU has enough VRAM for the settings you want, whether your playing on a 1GB card or 12GB card.
Here's the screenshot so you can understand:

Actually not really. I don't need everything at absolute max. 2x-4x AA is enough to get things taken care of usually. Using the highest-res display, If you break off the knobs on every single thing you'll always need 4 of the top-end card. 4K with 2-4x AA and I'm good.90% of the way there without paying another $xxxx. Diminishing returns. I'm sure there's settings in some games that can bury quad Titan-Xs - why would you want to do that? What's the point. Often there's little to no visual difference anyway. No wonder people think we need 12GB cards - they intentionally, blindly max out everything.
That is not always true. Some games still have horrible crawling and jaggies at 4k and most certainly need some AA. And of course the size of the monitor matters too.Well you don't need to run AA when you have 4k resolution. There won't be too much to smooth out. And right now games on ultra with 4k no AA use more than 6 gb as well as 3440 X1440 with AA. There was a post showing this in multiple games. You can also see youtube videos of frametimes and the constant drops when vram is insufficient. Just because the games you play don't go over 6gb doesn't mean no games does and that future games won't.

Ugh. Seriously? You absolutely still need AA in 4K. You don't understand how things work, and you obviously don't have 4K.
Oh hey everybody! Future games will require more VRAM!

okay wtf no game is going to run decently at those resolutions. and those "requirements" are never correct. i have hit almost 6 gb in several games at my 3440X1440 resolution so yes vram usuage may go up to higher since consoles can handle around 6 gb as well as they have 8 gb and use a a gig or so of that amount. Then you give pc ultra textures, AA, and higher resolution above 3440X1440 and the console port on a pc can use more than 6 gb. at 1080p or 1440 non ultrawide will probably unlikey go above 6 gb.
Basically titan x is for anyone above 1440 @ 16:9 and 980 ti is for anyone at or below 1440 @16:9
