Read the sticky thread. Just posting links is not acceptable in the forum.i'll work on that going forward
3) I'm going to have to wait extra long for the Titan model. Damn it.
According to Raymond James analyst Chris Caso via HKEPC, NVIDIA has allegedly pushed Ampere back a few months, which is currently in the beginning of its ramp. Ampere is now set mainly for an announcement at GTC next year in late March. According to Caso NVIDIA plans to kick off Ampere's introduction with a new datacenter focused AI product first , i.e. an Ampere based TESLA accelerator at GTC.
I'm torn. I'm not buying a $2-$3k GPU like the Titan V or RTX Titan just on principle.
I've been tempted for so long to upgrade from my Pascal Titan X, but despite 3+ years having passed, there is still nothing in the real of sane pricing that is a sufficient upgrade to make the spending worth it.
I'm not going to spend another $1200 for a 2080ti just to get what, 15-20%?
I guess I'm playing the wait and see game for the 3080ti, or whatever they call the next consumer oriented top big GPU part.

Just a counter point. I got a TXP when they released. I've not had top change gpus in 4 years about. And it's STILL a badass card lol.
I feel exactly the same way, this Titan XP I have from August 2016 has been the longest i have ever owned any gpu. To think I might be hanging on to it another year because nVidia is too focused on it's datacenter business while gaming takes a back seat infuriates me. This is why a viable third player like intel needs to show up in a big way and soon.

The Xp has only been out for a little more than 2.5 years
Time for a new leather jacket I guess!
Says August 2016 for the Titan X (Pascal). FYI Titan XP is the shorthand for that vs the later Titan Xp which was the slight update. My video card is older than my god damn phone at this point which is sad.
I know right? The TXP is the oldest component in my rig now.
Excited for the leather jacket?

Jenson must think people are just made out of kidneys.

If that's where the money is, expect Intel to be too focused on it too.To think I might be hanging on to it another year because nVidia is too focused on it's datacenter business while gaming takes a back seat infuriates me.
Mmm..I bet it has that vintage 1980s smell too.
Mine has been watercooled since day 1
honestly I think it is the best value PC hardware I have purchased in a long time in terms of longevity.
I'll be picking up the next Ti as long as it is below $1400. That's how I roll.
My 2080 Ti didn't cost me too much because I got good money for my TXP. Will do the same again.

You used to say that about $800 graphics cards . . .

Ah, fair enough. I never called mine XP because that's what they called the later slightly bigger core version.

I agree. I wouldn't buy a Titan RTX for gaming either. The Titan RTX really isn't an xx80 Ti Super like the previous Titans were though. It's really just a 2080 Ti with more VRAM and is aimed at being an entry level pro card. That extra VRAM makes a pretty massive difference for the applications where it matters. Gaming is not one of those applications.
Compared to a Titan X, you're probably looking at more like 40% performance jump to a 2080 Ti. If the 3080 Ti is 20% faster than the 2080 Ti, then you're looking at a 70% jump from the Titan X. That's pretty substantial.

40% is a best case scenario, most of the time it's barely 30% or even under that. For example, Apex Legends (a game I play almost daily) the difference is around 22%ish assuming the Titan X (Pascal) being equivalent to a 1080 Ti FTW:
I only did a 10 second googling, but it looks like the 1080 Ti FTW3 is 10% faster than the 1080 Ti Ref, the latter being essentially the same as the Titan XP (I think - correct me if I'm wrong). Your chart shows a 25% gap between the 2080 Ti FE and the 1080 Ti FTW3. With the FTW3 being 1.0, the 1080 Ti Ref being .9, and the 2080 Ti FE being 1.25, that makes the 2080 Ti 39% faster than the 1080 Ti Ref. That would then make the hypothetical 3080 Ti FE, at my imaginary 20% boost over the 2080 Ti, 67% faster than the Titan XP.
So I think I stand by my numbers for now.
It's substantial but still not even half of what they make from gaming sales so one would think they wouldn't shit on their main source of revenue.

You linked a 1080p test on a game that's not demanding on the gpu.
Come on, you should know better.
