There are slides showing game relative performance (non-VR) which places the 1080 somewhere in the region of 28-33% faster than the 980ti stock for stock we don't know the overclocking headroom or how well it can sustain its boost but realistically unless you are talking like LN2 there is likely to still be a fair gap between them OC v OC. I think the real gains though are going to show when people start to make heavier use of Vulkan and DX12 - partly probably aided by nVidia never properly pushing the full range of potential efficiencies with stuff like async on Maxwell - which you can be pretty sure they are paying attention to on Pascal.

You still have the card you paid for. It isn't any slower than it was before the new cards were announced, just play games and enjoy it, no need to worry.

Bad value? In general all the high end GPU's are a rip off. The 980Ti had/has an RRP of £530~. Extortiante? Yes, but compare it to the other high end cards at the time:
- GTX Titan X £800+
- GTX 980 £400-£450
Given the Ti was closer to the Titan in performance (and mollywhopped it in games), by GPU market standards it was actually good value for money. Not quite in the realm of the GTX 970, which is more than adequate at 1080p, but for 1440p/early adoptation of 4K, can't go wrong with it.
The 1080/1070 need to prove a hit at 4K gaming, anything below and it's a complete waste of money when there are cards readily available to do 1080p/1440p with v.high settings.
It's a bit annoying, but, that's the way it works and think this thread is a bit over dramatic.
You buy what you want when you want and live with it.
Absolutely correct. If you are fortunate enough to be in the position to purchase such a card, then you have to be prepared for the depriciation hit, and for it to become obsolete. Its like on Top Gear when James may bought his Ferrari F430 and soon after, the 458 was announced.
Dude I'm to busy to be doing that...
I'll get the Dons to investigate his account ...

Seems like this thread has gone off topic.
For the next month the 980ti is still the best card you can buy. 1080 is going to be slightly better than an overclocked 980ti so if you have one then wait for full fat pascal or volta

You have got a high end card and you can play any game you throw at it, no point changing just because a new one is coming out on the market. Just enjoy the card. Have it for 6, 7 months then sell it and get the new one.
Agreed

Will my flattop Argos special make it into the top 10 I wonder
Along with the cardboard shoe box I use to compensate for the lack of a height adjuster on the monitor it'll certainly make into the one of a kind category so that's something,
What can I say, ya gotta take the wins where you can get em
Where are these slides? The only slide I have seen is the leaked 3dmark which places an 8% overclocked 1080 exactly 8-10% faster than a fully overclocked 980ti, so according to that, which is the only actual benchmark I have seen, so a non overclocked 1080 would be about the same as an overclocked 980ti according to that, so all of your extra performance over an already overclocked 980ti would come from the 1080 overclock. Which according to that presentation is 2.1Ghz in a probably good case scenario. This is the only actual number I have seen which may or may not be fake I do not know.

LOL good luck with the triple screen 4k setup.
If you look at benchmarks online for ROTR on very high, the 980ti is a lot higher than the 980 there. About 40-50% faster already.
Stock 980 21fps Stock 980ti 31ps, that is almost 50% improvement at 4k stock vs stock.
40-50% improvement at 1080p and 1440p....
Only way to actually know is to see the reviews on the 17th.
I think it will not be as much as that, but then it could be, just my opinion...
If it really is consistently 25-30% faster vs a 980ti, then I am interested, if it is 15-20% then not really.

Dont feel bad anyone. Just buy a 1080 and then when the 1080ti comes out get one. I don't see why anyone has to feel ill or call out anyone's system or past purchases. Whatever you buy someone on these forums will always call fowl.
Now go enjoy the sun (be gone Tuesday)
Now go enjoy the sun (be gone Tuesday)
you are seriously advocating somebody buying 980ti, then a 1080, then a 1080ti?
Boy, my wallet would feel bad...
