Anyone benchmark 980M vs 980Ti(Graphics Amplifier)

Hoping someone has the 980M vs 980Ti using the Graphics Amplifier.

I own a Windows Gaming rig specifically to play Fallout games.

I have a AW17 R2 980M. I also have an external 27" LCD that supports 4K res.

I can only assume Fallout 4 will offer a 4K 'Ultra' setting. I want to run that. Should I use the Amplifier or build a DIY desktop with a desktop 980Ti?

 

I would recommend a Titan x in the amplifier for the extra 100 or so. i think there are a few videos on Titan x benckmarks in a g/a i personally think a 980m us not powerfully enough for UHD on ultra settings.

 

Wait until the game comes out, for what I've seen on the first videos the game doesn't look super graphically intense so I guess the GTX 980m might be able to run it at 4k at medium settings ok but for ultra settings I'd go for the GTX 970 on the amplifier but then again, wait!...

 

Don't go with the Titan over the 980Ti above. It's been shown through multiple resources that the 980ti is only about 4-6% less powerful (on stock clocks on both) in real world applications and the Titan is 25% more expensive.

I was ordering a 980ti for my amplifier, but after reading and reading and reading, the 970 was going to work for my needs - and the 980ti would've been simply future proofing. I'm waiting for the next gen before upgrading when games may start lagging behind. Here's a comparison on my machine going from the 980m to the GTX 970 reference card:

Same CPU on a dell system with graphics amplifier 4 cards: 980 ti vs titan vs 970 vs 980M

 

Wow never thought the 980 and the tinan would be so close , mabye not worth the 300+.

 

If you consider just the graphics score - the difference is moot - 1-2 fps difference. In real life performance, the difference will come to vram requirements. Though the most I have seen pulled from a single game has yet to exceed 4, much less 6 gig . . .

 

I would say look for ultra 60fps 1080p with the 980 ti with the graphics amplifier. And wait for 4k. As I'm sure next year 4k at 60fps will be attainable with the 1080 ti or whatever
It'll be worth the wait.

Unless you're OK with 4k at 30fps. Which is what i assume the ti will give you.

I stick to 1080p gaming because I prefer 60fps and have been a console gamer forever anyways.
So it beats the medium at 30fps the ps4 gives .

 

I get 60 fps on ultra 1080p with the 980m. With the graphics amp and the 970 over clocked to 1503mhz and 8000 MHz memory I get 1080 x 2560 20:9 ultra wide screen at 60 fps and above on ultra in gta v and witcher 3

so Flashed my Bios. Seems I am getting much lower GPU fire strike scores for my 980m 8g. Anything I can do to fix this? Bringing my FS score down by 1000 than average

 

I have tested the 980m with the 980ti in unigine. At the same res and settings (3440x1440 max everything except AA) the 980m was pullign around 33fps and the 980ti was about double that. Around 65-66fps. So basically you're looking at about 2x performance going from 980m to 980ti.

 

Firestrike resuslts.....

980m Graphics score - 9689
980ti Graphics score - 18300
