Yes Matrix and Strix are faster than TITAN X.
Special Matrix Gold, that's very visible difference in games with high resolution and enabled filters.
TITAN X customers could compensate something with OC, but it's mistake if they think to OC 200MHz every TITAN X.
When TPU test TITAN X their sample reach only about 100MHz over reference clock and similar scenario is more often than higher frequency.
And TITAN X is very expensive card with normal VRM and only someone with lot of money will try to OC him over 100MHz.
Risk of dying something is bigger than on custom cards...
On few place I hear that performance and cooling on Matrix is excellent.
ASUS have now 2-3 excellent graphic option, simply customers don't know what to choose first.
Matrix with 200MHz OC and not so big price, Matrix Gold expensive but for me best graphic card ever made because highest clock or Poseidon no ssuch big clock but look fantastic in combination with EKWB Predator and you get silence and low temps. All 3 options are excellent.
Poseidon is really amazing card, special in combination with EK Supremacy or Monoblock for R5E.
10/13mm tubes look best. Don;t need to be acrylic tubes at all, even normal nicely made with angled adapters + fittings and custom loop could look fantastic. If someone build Skylake than and Maximus Formula could be part of the loop if not there are Monoblock for almost all ASUS boards. That's fastest watercooling.

TITAN Series is specific. Only their customers are calm from memory side on longer period.
What happen to us with GTX780Ti, same with GTX980, GTX980Ti is very close if someone want high resolution.
Only TITAN class no problems.
Same was and with previous series and now.
Even now NVIDIA will launch probably first Pascal TITAN X2 and customers will have only him as option 6-7 months and later something else will show up with less CUDA Core, maybe even different video memory. I would not be surprised if only TITAN show up with 16GB HBM2 and rest with GDDR5X.
GTX980Ti overclocked is faster card than TITAN X. But if we look example TITAN X Hybrid, TITAN X Hydro Copper,
that's full chip with 150MHz fabric speed than situation is very tight with some Matrix Gold. TITAN X Hybrid work on 55C, with 150MHz fabric OC,
100% GM200. Special advantages is not even for people with single card, it's for people who want 4K and than need 2-3 cards... Their memory usage is constantly arround 5-6GB. It;s not only reference TITAN X. And he have own overclocked models with 130 and 150MHz fabric clock.
GTX980Ti with 200MHz OC only can't deal with 150MHz TITAN X. Need faster than 200MHz only.
I had choice now in 2015, TITAN X or X99. That was same price example.
I could order TITAN X SC for 1100, and X99 I payed arround 950e together.
I thought If I cross now on completely new generation and new platform I will need and some graphic card DX12 ready with HBM2. Now in 2016 is time for new GPU.
In that moment look me better if build Intel 6 core X99 DDR4 and later Pascal TITAN X2 than my previous
Z77 with TITAN X and during 2016 to build new X99 platform.
At the end I would stay with X99 and TITAN X or in other scenario with X99 and TITAN X2 Pascal.

Sorry on double post...
I think that ASUS TITAN X and other high end ASUS reference cards GTX980, GTX980Ti,...
should arrive with little metal ASUS Logo in corner on side of graphic card.
Customers could clearly to see GIGABYTE TITAN X because they have logo on side.
If someone buy ASUS reference graphic card maybe want to be visible small logo on side, nothing huge,
nothing big, only their classic metal silver logo.
