Yep

Flame, beat, hit, punch , ridicule , all you want...

For the first time in my gfx career I think I have made a mistake....

I sold my 980 ti posiedon for £375...

I can upgrade to CHEAPO 1080 for £125... Nothing in the grand scheme of things..."Move on on easy get next gen"

You takes the gamble you make your choice....

But after seeing benchies...I'm thinking that a drip drip drip drip regardless on NV been proved right

1080 is not 28nm to 16nm drop in terms of gain.

A 1080 yields 300 points on 980ti for massive cost.

The cost to me is 150... But I don't think I can be part of it....

Not that I can't afford it but...it's silly

Always wait for reviews etc before selling up tbh I do feel Nvidia is pricing this way above what it should be at around £400 to £500

But this is what Nvidia is good at, they can ask for anything these days and people will pay it. It will only get worst!
honestly hope AMD don't come out with Over priced GPUs either, this will give Nvidia something to think about.

This reads like an emotional romance break-up story :D

You can get a decent 1070 for maybe £30-50 more than you sold your 980Ti and it should (hopefully) perform on par. Resale will be better than the 980Ti when the time comes, so not all is lost
 
Yep I am in same situation...

Overall a bad move and I will prob just get a 1080 but I am not overly pleased about it.

It feels like the 1080 will instantly drop in price by £150 when the 1080 Ti arrives. Nvidia are just seeing what they can get away with, because they have the freedom of the market right now. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Ti was so close to ready that they could start production tomorrow, but they're holding it back because they simply don't need it yet.

They can charge this for the 1080 right now, then as soon as AMD make a move, Nvidia slash the 1080's price, throw the Ti hand grenade into the market and listen to the rapturous explosion of cheering and applause as everybody says how generous they're being by pricing the Ti "so low" at around what the 1080 costs now.

Nvidia have milking, drip feeding and marketing down to an artform. It's quite impressive in a sense, even if the customer is the one paying for it.
 
;)You sure those extra 5 frames aren't worth the extra £150? With driver optimisation the difference may even increase to 6 fps
 
One of these days, you'll realise that the vast majority of people couldn't care less what you sold, what you bought or how much money was involved. Not least because, if anyone tried to tell you at the time there would have been an avalanche of slevers in response, absolutely convinced that black was white.

Part your cheeks and get on with it. :D

980ti in sil are looking better and better now. Small die and that 256bit bus on a 1080 not good. Next years cards are when the real changes happen.
 
Was waiting for "it's not worth it" but thought it would be next week and not this early,i'll get a 1080......when they come down to £200 :)
