From the chart it looks like $699 1080 Ti is better than Titan X (over 1k), so the question to experts is, is Titan X kaput ?

Some folks need the extra gigabyte of RAM, but that must be a very specialized group.

yes

I'm going to wait for Vega, and I'm hopeful that Radeon can compete with Nvidia at the enthusiast level for once. If not, guess I'll get a 1080ti. I'm also thinking of getting a UHD monitor or QHD ultrawide. Any recommendations?

4k gaming seems more possible than ever.

Still looks to be a bit shy of the 60fps gold point...

VR, too.

At 1080p, sure... 4k would need to be able to push 120fps at real workloads to support dual 4k @ 60 (give or take). Which is probably 6-8 years off.

I have a GTX 1080 fouders connected to a 4K display, and love it, replaced dual 27"s, but gaming isn't there yet, and need to reduce the resolution. Of course, I don't game enough to really comment... it's nice having a single 40" display without the break between the screens.

I meant VR in general. VR at 1440p per eye is actually less pixel pushing than 2160p (2 * QHD = 7.4 million pixels, UHD = 8.3 million pixels). QHD per eye is a significant step up from 1080p per eye, and it's rumored that the next headset iterations will be at 1440p per eye.

The PCMR hype seems justified for once.
