ahh yeah sorry, I failed to realize the 760 was not part of the web driver list and that the 980 was, in fact, a TI so the non TI 10 series cards have less cuda cores, however the 1080 TI will have 3328 cores vs the Titan X Pascall having 3584 so you might actually be better off with two 980 ti's for the price of a 1080 ti when they are available and if nvidia ever puts the support in the web drivers.
in order to get your ram to run at its stated speed you may have to enable X.M.P profile in your Asus BIOS, mine runs at 1333 until I enable X.M.P then i get 2400, This IS over clocking your memory even though thats the speed the RAM was sold as having (think of it like the base clock and turbo clock of the CPU, same idea) and it will effect any overclock you have on your CPU but if you do it right you can have both, my memory is at 2400 and my 3930k CPU is at 4.8ghz
Pop your memory out and switch the dimms around and blow out the sockets on the motherboard just to make sure they are fully seated, i had a couple issues like that too
Thanks. Yup, XMP did the trick. My memory is now reporting as 1600mhz in bios and in MacOS. Hopefully this will help with some of the weird problems I have been experiencing lately. I currently don't have my CPU overclocked. I might try but I am worried that this ram isn't good enough to begin with. From what I read at ROG, people seem to notoriously have problems with Corsair and the RIVE. I read on another site that G.Skill 2400mhz seems to be way to go if I want to OC this particular CPU (3970x).
I just don't know what is going to give me biggest bang for the buck right now. Cheaper to replace all my RAM and put in 64Gb of G.Skill then to replace both of my GPUs for sure. Adobe seems to love the added and faster RAM, but DAZ seems to really want more Cuda and better GPUs. Faster rendering in FCPx is a no go for me entirely unless I throw in AMDs.
