+1 I should have included that in my answer. I have stated before they could probably launch it any time if they felt like it but won't bother until Vega hits.

How long do you think until nvidia announces the 1080ti?

It's possible there will be no HBM2, which would be a pity
HBM2 got one extra advantage over GDDR5X - lower power usage, this is particularly important for full fat chip that will push power envelope.
Either way I am only going to upgrade when real in game performance improvement is at least 75% more than my overclocked 980ti.

November 2016. You know NVIDIA want those Christmas sales. 
I don't think we'll see a consumer GP100. GP104 with a mild overclock is actually faster at FP32, so you probably wouldn't see a performance boost from GP100 for gaming.
If there is a 1080ti, it will be some other new chip, not GP100.

They could just call it 'ultra customer milking edition' and people would still buy it (Me included) Nvidia's marketing is on that elite level. They are ruthless in business and profit making, like the empire in Star Wars or something
If there is a market for it why not. Have you seen the price of super cars or luxury yachts? A ford mondeo will get you from A to B in much the same way a 400k super car will yet people still outlandish money for a car. Selling a graphics card for 1.5k really wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Wasn't long ago a home people would cost you 5-7k in today's money. I remember the first computer my Dad got . It was several years old already but took a few months pay. I remember at the time he said new it would cost more than our car. Really can't remember what it was, and 2x 5.25" floppy drives, when the disks were actually floppy.
A top end GFX card is a luxury time so luxury prices can apply. As long as there are decent mainstream cards at good prices who the heck cares. Cards like the 970 and 390x are insanely powerful and will handle all the latest games with a few settings down. You don't need everything on ultra or to play at 4k.

Those cars sell for 6 figures and sales measured in a few tens of thousands per year, the market not big enough for mass production requirements of modern GPUs.
A luxury GPU could also only sell in the tends of thousands
well Chiphell have some kind of leak rumor about Ti/Titan, the chip size is 50% bigger than GP104, with 50% more CU.
speculation about availability probably Q4 2016, Q1 2017, all GDDR5X, no HBM2.
prices:
GTX 1080Ti from AIBs: 799 USD
GTX 1080Ti FE: 849 USD
GTX Titan FE only: 999 USD

Same here.
I think the gaming oriented cards will come with Gddr5x and a 384 bit bus.
I read that the G5x ram used for the 1080 is the slowest variant of it so a faster version with a wider bus will be plenty.
16 gb's of that will be ample.
I wouldn't be surprised if HBM was put on the back burner for a while.
Whoops, Just like this.

"How long do you think until nvidia announces the 1080ti?"
Not trying to state the obvious, but it won't be anytime soon based on record so far, Nvidia won't confirm anything at least a good while after the new Titan is release...and we ain't even got confirmed release information for the new Titan yet!

150USD sounds rather cheap for 12GB of GDDR5X. Keeping my fingers crossed we hear more around September.
Don't forget 20% VAT and the 10-15% markup from the retailer
. So it will be looking at £800+ for a 1080Ti and about £1199 for the Titan.

I already added the vat and a small mark up, but yes you could be right!
