I PC gamed hardcore as a in middle school around the turn of the millenium. Those were the days when Voodoo 3's and Geforce 256's were sick. And it  was simple. Just look at the amount of megabytes that the card has. Want processing power? Just get a computer with a lot of megahertz.

I was thinking about building a gaming rig recently but then I was like wtf is 4K? How do I compare processing speeds when you've got multiple processors? The metrics are more complicated now so I said **** it.

Just buy the most expensive **** you can and it'll be good.

Actuallllly...   if you turn on 16x AA or I think 32x AA,   it might not be able to hold 60fps..

I don't remember if Titan X can do 128x AA,  or if that's only reserved for Quadro.. but I know that you're definitly gonna hit like 5-15 frames per second with 128x


So the answer is..  NO ,  this card can not handle Hearthstone.  So sorry buddy,  no go..

Hearth stone looks so good with AntiAliasing..

You know what they should do..    Do an HD remake, with 8k Textures of the cards.. (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/baa60776.gif)



Hearthstone, SLI 980TI edition..

8K textures... 32x AA... 8k Shadow textures... ++TESSELLATION, Also Turn up those shaders for m0re dynamic Fire physics

Actually you would be better off getting 7 on a dual CPU mobo and installing 7 different OS's then using parrallel processing to run one super hearthstone!
