[TITAN-X Pascal] VS [GTX 1080] on a PCIE 3.0 X4 Lines

i have to decide between the two cards.

USED ON PCIE 3.0 with 4 lines only

I didn't think Nvidia allowed you to use a card on only 4 lanes.

lol

Let us know how it works out. I know I've seen reviews where they tested it with special BIOS, and it worked. I also have run into a lot of people that can't get Nvidia GPU's to work on x4 lanes. As an example: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/895008/x4-pci-lanes-and-sli/

Buy both and test them, return one?
That's what a cynic would do.

You seemed to be asking for an opinion, rather than any tech advice.

If there is a BW restriction, then it seems prudent to spend less money.

Perhaps this will help:
