Oh god it's going to look so sexy in my new build.

A good card for the 4k crowd, but unless your at 4k or doing VR I am seeing less need to upgrade the video card. I will wait and see what Vega offers and decide if I really need to replace the old 290x as it does fine for me so far.
Why? It's not like it's unexpected.Lots of people shitting their pants at the AMD corporate office this morning I bet.

Not just for the 4K crowd. This is great for anyone playing above 1080p/60Hz, including 1080p/144Hz.
Unlike CPU GPU keep getting pushed by game developers thankfully, and NVIDIA just keeps scaling down their beastly server GPU anyways so they have lots of competition from intel in that market. We are the lucky beneficiaries of that trickle down competitionNvidia blew everyone away with the 1080 and did it again without any competition with the 1080ti.... Impressive.
Thankfully we have VR to keep Nvidia pushing forward otherwise they might have pulled an Intel and phoned this one in.
I disagree...this kind of horsepower is still useful for lower res (1080p and 1440p, as examples) with settings cranked and higher refresh rates/FPS.
Yeah as someone who games with a gtx 1080 @1080 144hz I can say right now the 1080 is CPU limited so a 1080Ti is absolutely overkill at that resolution, but the fact it can do 1440 144hz makes me wished I waited to upgrade my monitor.I see little reason to buy the card for 1080p when a normal 1080 does that just fine, it makes the 1080ti overkill. As long as a card can stay above 60 fps most people are happy with that. At 1440 and above I see the use for the 1080ti.
An excellent read. Thank you. I was most disappointed in one respect though: I would have liked you to have included the previous generation - the 980 Ti or Maxwell Titan X.

That is true for the 27"-30" range where the high DPI makes AA fairly irrelevant. But, a lot of PC enthusiasts these days are taking advantage of the reasonably low response times of the new smart TVs, and at those screen sizes, the jaggies and crawlies often start becoming noticeable again....every reviewer is including AA in their 4k benchmarks and its not needed at 4k.
Thanks for the read!
Any chance in the near future you guys will be benchmarking the TI in SLI?

People with 3440x1440 100Hz monitors as well.
Only so much time to do so much. But your feedback is noted.
It's not on the board at the moment. I'm going to be bold and say multi-GPU isn't as popular or utilized or even supported as it once was. Maybe it will shift back in the future, I do not know. DX12 complicates things since all the work is now on the developer to implement multi-GPU and driver tweaks or profiles are no longer relevant with that API. But, Vulkan just got multi-GPU support, so we will see.
Already been mentioned high fps 1080p.I see little reason to buy the card for 1080p when a normal 1080 does that just fine, it makes the 1080ti overkill. As long as a card can stay above 60 fps most people are happy with that. At 1440 and above I see the use for the 1080ti.
Did I miss when they were going to be available? Tomorrow??
Especially now that 240 Hz is becoming a thing at this resolution.Again... high refresh rates at 1080p.
This is [H], nothing is overkill, what's that even mean

Basically the missing ROPs cause framebuffer swaps to happen more slowly, but the increased memory speed makes up for that.So if i got this right its the same as the titan for the core count except mission ROPs? How important or how does those missing ROPs affect it? Like what do they do and how does it affect gaming or other GPU tasks?
Anyone know a good place that talks about OC/OV I plan on getting this card and want to see how better cooling and OVing affects clocks.
Because more and more gamers aren't playing at 60Hz, they're playing at 144, 165 or even 240Hz. Plus, even at 1080p/60, higher-end settings like increased draw distances, tesellation, and higher levels of AA are still not practical in some games.
