Same boat as you, prices are way to high this gen so I'm skipping and just sticking to 980ti.
Hopefully the next gen is priced a bit more reasonable, or AMD comes up with something good for the high end.

Time to upgrade my 1080!! 
Yep, having experiencing the 300-350W of my 390X, I'm now extremely happy with a 150W 1070. So much cooler in my study, much more pleasant. I don't really need the extra performance at the moment also, will stick with my 1070 until the next gen I think
If thats true and they are going to use GP100 for the titan then it is going to be massively expensive. It will be a great card if you need all of the compute functions of a Tesla for less but otherwise its probably not going to be worth it. Likely limited to the reference design only like previous titans.
1080ti on GP102 will be interesting. I expect it to clock much better then the GP100 titan so it may even end up beating it out for performance, especially with custom PCBs and 3rd party cooling solutions. This is the one to wait for!

At this rate it looks like the Pascal Titan will arrive before my Asus Strix 1080 OC!

yeah, with that kind of power you can easily skip this generation, maybe the next one would make more sense
I spent the money on an Acer Predator X34a monitor instead.

Not quite because they will be clocked lower... like with all past generations.
It will still be a good 30-40% gain over 1080 though

I'm looking forward to 1080ti... I only have 1080s now because I was weak and didn't want to wait with a single 980ti

They say Nvidia don't supply, wonder if we'll get to reach around at least.

Well over a grand I bet!

well, we can complain about price for a long time but the point is that Nvidia does deliver the quality and what's what people pay for.
Of course a lot less people may buy at that price point though, so from a pure business perspective, will it be a good idea to price those cards so high and continue ramping up prices with every release?
I guess we'll see but I don't expect these high prices to be maintainable, not if Nvidia want to keep their share of the market. They are pretty high as it is, it would make sense for the prices to go down a lot as the manufacturing process gets cheaper, which it always does. There is a consumers breaking point and it looks like we are there already.

Past caring about the Nvidia e-peen titan.
Based on what? The Pascal cards have by all accounts exceeded sales expectations and quite significantly too.

Based on common sense, once you start to ask over £1000 for a card your sales expectations might be exceeded but the actual sales will still go down. It's not sustainable.
