1080ti Next Week $699.00

Claims 35% faster than 1080 and faster than Titan XP... Yeah, we'll see.
 
Perfect timing from Nvidia and sounds like they will sweep this year buying market for new GPU's. Lowering the cost of the 1080 to $499 which sounds like a great price cut but isn't that really not the normal price after all :). I do believe Raja life just got somewhat harder.
 
I don't get the 1080Ti ... so they poured engineering resources into slashing one 32 bus vram bus off, just to jack up the memory rate from 10 to 11, while maintaining the same exact core count? They should have saved themselves the time and effort, and sold the Titan at $699. Then again, where did the 30W go (from 250 to 220). I was hoping they'd release a full core count this round, but I guess not. [edit: ah, the rops got slashed from 96 to 88]

And this is not the first time they've done the x80/Titan/x80Ti dance either, but folks still keep coming back to tango...

They probably dont care and if they do then its their own fault. A Titan really only makes sense right at launch so you can at least have the best card for the longest period. Anyone buying a Titan 6 months after it comes out is doing it wrong.
 
Well this has convinced me to not buy Volta X80. Going to wait for X80ti Volta now, especially considering the high refresh 4k monitors.

when the very first Titan was released I think it lasted for a much longer period...Titan was supposed to represent something special and not part of their 'regular' lineup...sort of like an AMEX Platinum credit card

That and the first Titan actually had better compute abilities than regular cards.

yeah it wasn't technically a gaming card back then...now it's morphed into (or more like, Nvidia has repositioned it) as the top tier gaming GPU
 
I expect the Titan will be updated probably to a full GP 102 configuration and current ones sold off at a cheaper price. I don't think Nvidia showed their full hand yet on what is coming. Releasing the 1080Ti now without Vega with the huge buying of high performing RyZen rigs is going to only help Nvidia I would think. Who wants to use old graphics cards in a brand new 8 core monster machine - hell I already spent $800+ why not $700 more and have the fastest gaming card on the planet? If not that - hey that 1080 price looks too good to pass up . . . Nvidia also entices those who already recently bought gpu's as in a 1080 to sell and buy the 1080Ti quickly to get that next fix in.

If Vega is some sort of utter surprise (really does not feel that way), just shatters performance like no other time (right) then Nvidia can bring the big daddy into play and that is a GP-100 (shortly they will be making GV-100s, what are they going to do with any extra GP-100s?). Plus how many GV 100 GPUs were produced that are not fully enabled but yet very usable? Meaning we may see an HBM2 product from Nvidia for the consumer this year.
 
GP100 is not a gaming card, period. Its GP102 and its freaking amazing and cheap :)

I got a 980ti for under $300 about 3-4 months ago. They have been going for that price for awhile.

Right now IS the time to buy a 1080ti.

At the end of the Pascal cycle while Volta will be released Q3/Q4. If I had a 980Ti, I wouldn't unless I had cash to burn...(I usually do, LOL)
 
Had this budgeted at $800 per card so I guess I'm in for two. But I guess they'll sell out quickly so I plan to be at the ready March 10. Probably will keep one 1080 and sell the other.

The used market is going get active too.

Save a hundred so spend another 600?
 
I have a pair of 980Tis and I'm seriously on the fence about getting one...

If it matches the Titan XP, then it'll be a "sidegrade" for me on games that scale well with SLI. It'd be a HUGE upgrade for games that don't support SLI. Plus less power use, and less headache to upgrade the cooling system. The Titan XP waterblock will fit the 1080Ti, so that's a win for watercoolers.

I might jump on it now and put my 980Tis up for sale while they still have some value left...The cost offset is huge compared to the Titan XP upgrade path.

Start with one? If the Ti is at TXP levels, just one will be double the perf, but in real world its actually more due to all the poor scaling of mgpu.

Yeah, I'm just going to get one 1080ti I think. I don't want to do SLI anymore, it's just not worth the money.

I've never really had driver or SLI-related headaches (except in Mad Max). I've just noticed the scaling isn't usually that great on the supported titles, and then there are more and more unsupported titles all the time. I only run 3440x1440 @60Hz anyway, so a single Titan XP / 1080Ti should be able to cover me for a year or two. And since I only need to buy ONE card, the cost of upgrades is far lower.

I don't think its too much of a stretch. The XP is about 20-30% faster than the regular 1080. The ti is just a neutered XP with higher clocks. The higher clocks could account for the 5-10% increase over Titan XP and those are just paper numbers.
 
In before 10+1gb XD
Oh AMD must have done something right if 1080Ti is not only faster than Titan XP but even almost half the price. I will wait until Volta Ti in as my 980Ti SLI is enough for my needs, but I can't wait to see what AMD has in stock.
It does piss me off that AMD was out of competition for so long. See that 1080Ti, that's what happens when you have competition. Fuck market dominance, it makes rich richer, and us consumers poorer.

When should we start to see reviews?

(352/384) * (11/10) = 1.008 = a wash on vram bandwidth
same core count
rops 96 => 88
but slightly higher clock

It should be Titan XP +/- 5% just looking at the paper specs above. Maybe they'll play some driver tricks / optimizations / image quality.

But how did they lower tdp from 250 to 220?

optimized power delivery circuitry, it's now using an improved 7 phases dual field effect VRM so a potential 14 very optimized high efficiency phases..
 
Maybe they'll come out with a Titan XP Black, with a fully enabled GP102 to retake the crown as fastest single GPU card.

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing 1080 Ti benchmarks.
 
Any idea if retailers will be doing pre orders as well? I don't want to pay shipping fees over to Nvidia just to pre order the card..

Not only is it not the first time, but they've done it every time. Most titan owners probably recognized this was going to happen, if they didn't they certainly should have.

People that buy Titans don't deserve shit, they already have established they have no fiscal responsibility when it comes to performance per dollar, it is not the first time that Nvidia has come out with a Ti card that outperformed or was equal to a titan in the same generation as already mentioned. If you get butthurt over your $1,200 card purchase being obsolete too quickly be smart and wait for a Ti. The point is you didn't pay for exclusivity on the best performing video card, you paid for the best performing video card at that moment. Technology is a fickle bitch and she's always looking for an upgrade. If you want to pay for exclusivity buy a Picasso, not a video card.
 
My 980's are getting long in the tooth for my monitor. I think 1 1080Ti will do the trick.
 
Tempting. I've got two 980ti Classifieds and have been wanting to get back to a single card solution.

I'm in the same boat, I'd love to ditch sli for a single card but I've waited so damn long I might as well wait to see how Vega stacks up

Where do you see the lower TDP? I see 250w everywhere. I'd love 220w though, I find cooling 250w in silence is doable but pretty tight in the warm months.

edit : OK I see some websites are reporting 220w but I still see 250w on nvidia's site.

I don't care. I'm happy that this level of performance is now available to more people who don't have the money to spend on a Titan. And if the Titan was top dog for 2 generations we wouldn't get any performance improvements through the whole product stack for the same amount of time. NVIDIA would turn into Intel :p.

The slides said they cleaned up the power delivery and have a new VRM design. Between that and the small decrease in VRAM, I could see them shaving off 30W.
 
Normally I'd upgrade for the hell of it but my single 1080 still seems fine on my Acer X34... maybe I'm playing the wrong games.

What games these days really push the boundaries? Not being coy, I'm really looking for ones to try.

I'm playing Grim Dawn on the X34 on a 1080 and my frames fluctuate quite a bit.

Watch Dogs 2 and the new Deus Ex games are pretty demanding with all the options on, even at 3440x1440.
