Confirmed by Nviidia that there is no interface difference, all 8Gbs is accessible at the same speed. The only difference wrt the 1080 is it is using slwoer GDRR5 memory.

Ain't that even worse than having 7GB of GDDR5x + 1GB of super slow memory? Considering GDDR5 memory only have like half the bandwidth of GDDR5x and all...?
such mindless entitlement
how about you go and run a successful graphics card company then?

That's thrown a shoe...7 race horses and 1 donkey I heard
We've seen how hard that can be, especially with such a dominating force already present in the market.

I did ask you for evidence or was it a gut feeling and Titan/full fat 80 card, I don't mind what you are talking about but you didn't answer my simple question.
Do you have any evidence or is it just a gut feeling?

Nvidia has been playing the labeling game for a while now in terms of what they are calling their cards. If you just look back at the labeling pattern and launch pattern, and the change in the pattern in this gen, it is quite clear to see.
Previous gen:
Titan (with double precision compute)->780
Titan Black (with double precision compute)-> 780Ti
Now this gen:
Launching "Titan X" first- which is essentially what should have been released as "980Ti", as double precision compute has been removed. This move alone has already turn a mainstream gaming "fat 80" card (with just 2x memory) into a "premium" card at £850+, and forcing people that are people that are only preparing to spend up to around £600 to keep waiting for the "fat 80" card with half the memory. This one point alone is already clear evidence proving what I was referring to as the "delay of mainstream 80" card.
Then eventually came the 980Ti, but it wasn't the fat 80 that people were expecting with just half the memory, but Nvidia pulled a 670->760, which the core counts reduced, but stock clock speed increased so it would still match the Titan X out of the box (but it would be slower if comparing clock for clock). This move actually goes with what I mentioned about the option b) in my previous post, allowing them with some extra headroom to release another card with higher core counts and higher clock to reclaim the crown, IF the Fury X actually did turned out faster than the 980Ti. But we all know how that battle gone down, so there was no need for Nvidia to release another fat 80 card with 3072 cores (or aka Titan X "half memory edition" with high stock clock and call it a 980Ti X or something).

Lol this attitude never fails to amaze me, what a laugh. How about you learn to take other peoples opinions less seriously, especially in regards to a multi billion dollar corporation like Nvidia.

Nope, as I said above the "Titan X" (branding a fat 80 as Titan at sold £850) is the very proof of mainstream fat 80 being pushed back in terms of release.So a gut feeling then

These type of threads always end up silly lol. Quite a good example of consumer psychology gone mad. We've all spent a lot of money on GPU's over the years, we all want to think it's been money well spent.. It's a hobby and brings lots of satisfaction so is worth it to an extent, but it still doesn't change the simple fact that Nvidia are greedy ******'s!
