Hello,

Would you recommend the Nvidia Titan RTX for Seti instead of the 2080 Ti ? It seems to be much better.

Any inputs or experience to share with me ?

I think that it is better to have one very good GPU (Nvidia Titan) than having 2 less performing GPUs with SLI (2 x 2080 Ti).

I had a look in the past discussions but I haven't found a lot about this GPU for Seti.

FYI, I use Windows 10.

Many thanks

It will be slightly faster than a 2080ti. But not by much. And for 2x the cost of a 2080ti.

If you’re thinking about spending that much money, just buy 2x 2080tis

SETI doesn’t use SLI, each card runs WUs exclusively, so performance scales 100% with more cards added.

...and if my experience is anything to go by, using SLI to couple cards actually reduces the processing performance on SETI (very counter intuitive I know)
