Once again you're getting caught up in the hype
To be fair, if GP100/102(whatever turns into the consumer Titan/1080Ti) can actually do 4k/60fps with High-Ultra in just about every game, then it *will* be something of a game-changer. It would be the first truly 4k-ready card.

Then basically, after that, we'd be in the 4k era. A year later, we could see Volta and Navi, where we'd hopefully get that sort of performance, but from mid-upper mid range parts/prices.

There was an interesting comment there that got me thinking, maybe NVIDIA have learned from their 'mistake' of placing the x90Ti too close to the Titan.

I have to wonder if the difference between the 1080 and 1080Ti won't be as big as it was last gen, and they'll try to incentivise the Titan with a bigger jump, instead of the mundane improvement it had over the 980Ti last gen for a whopping $300ish more.

If you recall, the 980Ti was a reaction to the impending release of the Fury X from AMD. As AMD were planning to put a card at the level just above the 980 at half the cost of the Titan X. Nvidia went with a very slightly cut down Titan board with half the Ram for a lot less money which quite rightly sold by the bucket load.

As AMD are not competing against the 1080 until at least October (If you believe the rumours) or possibily Q1 2017 then I think that is when the Ti variant of the 1080 will probably emerge. Maybe we will see the Titan X first though, as they did with the 900 series....or if the 1080Ti is only a small amount faster than a 1080 this time around then they will make the Titan X 1080 a lot faster than a 1080 Ti to really tempt the big enthusiasts (Kaap, yes that is you Sir). :D

Interesting it seemed here are more than 3 GP104 chips I knew GP104-400-A1 is GTX 1080, GP104-200-A1 is GTX 1070 and GP104-150-A1 is GTX 1080M for laptop:

GP104-200-A1 / GP104-PS-NB – ASUS’ teaser?
GP104-200-A1 / GP104-PR-DT / GeForce GTX 1070 / dev_id 1B81
GP104-200-A1 / GP104-PS-DT
GP104-400-A1 / GP104-PR-DT/ GeForce GTX 1080 / dev_id 1B80
GP104-400-A1 / GP104-PS-DT
GP104-725-A1 / GP104-PS-DT
GP104-950-KD-A1 / GP104-PR-DT
GP104-975-A1 / GP104-QS-9XX
GP104-985-A1 / GP104-QS-9XX


Hmmm I wonder what these mysterious GP104-725-A1, GP104-975-A1, GP104-985-A1 and GP104-950-KD-A1 all numbers higher than GTX 1080 are?

Something Nvida hide it from us, it could be that GTX 1080 is not the full chip and these 4 higher chips could contain more than 2560 CUDA cores? Higher clock speed? 384 and 512 bit bus? It possible Nvidia will launch these chips in case if AMD launch RX 490 soon.

GP106-300-A1 / GP106-QS-V0-F0-300-V1
GP106-400-A1 / GP106-QS-400-V1
GP106-750-A1 / GP106-QS-750


Interesting there are 3 GP106 chips, I think GP106-750-A1 will be GTX 1060 Ti with 256 bit bus confirmed on Zauba export data, GP106-400-A1 could be GTX 1060 with 192 bit bus and GP106-300-A1 could be GTX 1050 with 192 bit bus.

So the GTX1080 is a salvage part?

I've heard/read somewhere that the Ti part will have roughly 3000 shaders so it's possible...

I was hoping that the next Ti would have about 3500 (Chinese leak a couple of weeks back) but it would make sense for the Titan to have that many if the Ti really does have 3000

Ti = 3000 cores w/GDDR5 & 384bit bus
Titan = circa 3500 cores with HBM2 (and own chip designation)

If that's true then it will be a Titan for me then.

I want the best single card, none of this mid range overpriced rubbish.

Crysis 3 with max settings and FXAA @ 1080P. V Sync on card turbos to around 1100Mhz, it downclocks lol. Not even breaking a sweat. Witcher 3 with everything set to max preset is same story, higher clocks but nice and smooth. Will do some 1440P tests later. The 1080 is fast. The Ti card will be insane.

NVIDIA Pascal Titan Performance Numbers Estimated – 50% Performance Over GTX 1080 Expected

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-titan-performance-numbers-leaked-50-performance-gtx-1080-expected/

You can bet the cost will be 50% higher also.

"One thing that is puzzling us is that nowhere om the chart does it state the name Pascal Titan, although Xfastest did manage to point out that a single Pascal Titan GPU would be equivalent to dual GTX 1080 chips configured in SLI"

No chance. For one thing SLi scaling is normally more than 50% when it works.

Tbh If they wanted to they could stay on pascal, rename some cards, shift everything down a tier and then release a 600mm^2 gpu which could be just around twice as fast as 980ti.
