Hi Viper,
How do you like the Titans Xp compared to the 1080ti?  Do the net returns on the XP’s justify the huge premium over the 1080Tis?  I see that you have a lot of Titans.  I’m a newbie and want to build my rig.  I ask because of the shortage on the 1080Tis, I may have to bite the bullet on the Titans.  Thx.

Well, when I could get the Stars Wars editions for $1138 (THX 1138 in case the fans missed the price reference), it was worth it. At $1200 for a reference model, not so much. With the Ti's around $920 - $999, the collector edition Titans give a 5% - 7% boost in mining performance with a 15% - 20% better power efficiency over the 1080ti. They definitely run cooler than the Ti's. The advantage was also being able to get so many without waiting because NVidia allowed two per customer of each faction. I could order 4 more the next day and the next, etc. The added advantage is they will always be worth more than a 1080Ti or standard Titan Xp percentage-wise because they are special.  I just wish George Lucas would have named his first movie THX 1038 so Princess Lea would have been in Cell Block 1038 and the price of Titans would have been $100 less.  Cheesy
