Initially I had wanted to buy two 2080 TIs as they came with 11 GB of VRAM and would be twice as fast as their 1080 counter parts. When the RTX Titan came out, the 24 GB of VRAM caught my eye and knew it was the card for me. When i got the card, it took me an hour or so to get it working with it's slower brother, the 1080, but once I started playing around, it did not disappoint.
My iray renderings come out much quicker, twice as fast as before. I'm getting double the framerate on every game i play- the card is so powerful that all games just go to maximum.
While it's a little expensive, the card performs very well, it being hooked up to two monitors while my 1080 is connected to four, giving me six total. The only major draw back on this card, which can be negated by tuning the fan profile, is the heat. I had to use third party software to crank the fans up to near maximum when the card is under full load.
Other than that, i've maxed the card out once with a single iray scene. Other than that, it's a solid buy.
EDIT/UPDATE: So I've been using this card for almost a year; games, CAD, Daz Renderings. It's a solid card at 24 GB of RAM and i've managed to max it out several times on RAM. it's a champ to say the least. I managed to render 5 different 300 DPI 6 x 9 images in 5 hours - simultaneously.
I definitely plan on getting a second card when the wallet allows. Please note the card's speed drops 200 mhz when it breaches 84 Celsius. a custom curve in MSI afterburner keeps it at 84 c or just under.
If you purchase this card- there will be a delay for funds verification. so that 2 day becomes 3 or 4. Signature required. As for gaming- it utilizes about 1/5 of it's total processing power to deliver (I cap at 60 fps).
