All you people buying a 1080, will you be upgrading to a 1080Ti later on?

chaparral · 29 May 2016 at 11:20

Think am going stick with my SLI GTX 780ti setup till the 1080ti come out..
And use the 1k+ money I saved from buying a standard GTX 1080 sli setup on something more useful like a 34" widescreen asus or acer monitor..

And later when the 1080ti or 1080 titans get released and I know the prices then I sort out which new GPU's am going buy..

Muz333 · 29 May 2016 at 11:20

I think the 1080 will last me until the 11XX at which point I'll be looking to make the jump to 4K.

Gregster · 29 May 2016 at 11:21

I will be. No Titan for me this time though and a custom 1080Ti will be sweet.

Drollic · 29 May 2016 at 11:22

Custom Ti's are going to be £750-800 this time round at a guess? :eek:

The thing is though once the 980Ti was released was the 980 really a relevant card anymore? how many people where honestly buying 980's new after the Ti hit? To me it was a choice between the 970 or 980Ti and I have a feeling the same will happen when the 1080Ti is released.

Peoples focus will certain move off the 1080.

That always happens. At the moment the 980Ti is no longer relevant. Just like this when the 1180 arrives the 1080 TI will no longer be relevant.

Nope, skipping the 1080 as the difference to the eye won't be any different to what I have at the moment.

I'll get the 1080ti if I require it at the time depending on my gaming.

If not more. While I would love a 1080 Ti it will be silly money. I could just afford a 1080 £600 is my limit this gen. Ti will be £900 at least? A price I'm not willing to pay.

This for me.

Since this is one of my hobbies, I always upgrade to the fastest GPU. So I will be going from 2x custom 1080's to either 2x 1080 Titan's or wait for 2x custom cooled 1080Ti's if the 1080 Titan air cooler stinks like the one on the Flounders Edition 1080.

I thought you were big on watercooling.

IIRC you have built some fantastic watercooled PCs.

Yes, and AMD's VEGA most likely

Gonna grab the EVGA Hybrid GTX 1080, that will do nicely until full fat Pascal and VEGA.

Kirby Wurm · 29 May 2016 at 20:31

I generally go for either top-end or one tier below in most cases. My card history has seen me use a 9800 Pro, 6800 GT, X1950 PRO, HD4870, HD5850, GTX570, GTX680, GTX780, GTX970 (only because it was an RMA replacement for the 780) and my current 980 Ti (again only because my wife's 780 had issues for which I had a full refund of £290, paid £260 extra for the Ti, she now has the 970).

I'll wait for the 1080 Ti and see how fastvit is but may not even upgrade then, I don't mind sacrificing some settings for smooth framerates.

It will be relevant when the price drops

robbw77 · 29 May 2016 at 21:51

Nope

I game at 1440p

Will be keeping my 1080 for at least the next 3 years

Same here. Pretty similar setup i have to decide about to upgrade or not. The difference is, your CPU is clocked higher a bit(100 MHz) and the GPU is on the stock until the new home arrives.
So, wait for Ti version. Even aftermarket cooler versions from 1080 are not so tempting.
Sell the 980Ti at the right time and get the new 1080Ti or AMD version.

evilsooty999 · 30 May 2016 at 23:38

Nope. My 780 has lasted me three years as will the 1080 with any luck. I won't be upgrading again until the 1280!

Dicehunter · 30 May 2016 at 23:41

I had my finger on the buy/pre-order button for an EVGA 1080 Classified but decided to wait for the 1080 Ti Classified, I made the mistake of getting the 780 then the 780 Ti, 980 then 980 Ti.

Not this time
