**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

P100 has HBM2, not HBM1. We ordinary folk don't know how well it performs or overclocks, though I'd assume it has extremely high performance due to the memory bandwidth it affords.

P100 = full fat Pascal. Anything else is cut down.

We know how HBM2 performs, its on the Tesla cards and the clockspeed is very poor.

The funniest thing is both the GP100 Tesla card and the GP102 Pascal Titan are using the same amount of active cores yet the TDP on the lower clocked Tesla card is 50 Watts higher than the Titan. The major difference is the Tesla card has HBM2, you know the memory that is supposed to use a lot less power, could this been the reason it is not on the higher clocking Titan lol.
 
Please stop with the "HBM2 will make it destroy other cards". The titan X already has 384bit 10Ghz GDDR5X with 480GB/s bandwidth... HBM2 would make approx 0-5% difference.

To be fair that's because of the dedicated FP64 cores I mentioned earlier.

GP100 will indeed be worse for gaming (or just equal) to GP102 simply because it has unnecessary baggage inside it.

Nvidia still don't have a design which can 're-utilise' its cores for FP64 calculations, so their larger chips have to sacrifice room if they want that performance.
 
Wonder what the difference will be between the 1080 and 1080ti and if it will be comparable to the difference between the 980 and 980ti

Well take the difference between the 1080 and TXP which is around 30% for double the price and shave a bit off so maybe possibly 20%'ish faster than the 1080.

In my opinion it will all depend on when NVidia plan for Volta to be with us.

If it will be with us late next year, then the 1080ti could be this 10GB just a smidge slower than the currant TitanX rumoured card.

But Volta wont be with us till 2018, then there is room for a 1080ti to be released at GTC in May with a full fat 12GB GP102 chip, a beast of a card, completely eclipsing the currant TitanX, making that card just an early adopter special.

Only time will tell.
 
A clever move by NVidia would be to price the 1080 Ti a bit on the high side at launch. This would have the effect of getting people who have been holding out for the 1080 Ti to buy the Pascal Titan instead. After about 3 months NVidia could drop the price a bit closer to the 1080 to mop up any remaining sales.

Doing the above would not be popular but it would make NVidia more money.

That may have a side effect of having people move over to AMD though, Possibly.

I think a good chunk of people have already upgraded and may jump on the TI if its a reasonable price but if its expensive they wont so more lost sales. Same as any potential AMD buyers
 
I don't think we will see a 1080 Ti this side of Xmas as it looks like NVidia are going to be pushing 1070s and 1080s for the next month or so.

Lol Watchdogs 2, am i the only one that doesn't really give a toss about the game? The first was terrible and I have GTAV for open city shenanigans.
Suppose it could be sold on though.

The first was not terrible, it was not even that good.:eek::D
 
I would not be surprised if people would get a 1080ti for near to a titan X anyway, because people will want a better cooler and most people do not use watercooling. Depends if AMD release a good card or not.

the ti series personally for me felt a little bit of luxury purchase a step too far. after a 1080ti iteration the 1170 will have a similar performance in about 6 months to a years time I imagine...

Especially this generation where the price may be projected to be £800 to a £1000

Equivalent performance of a 1070 sli I guess but... I think I can wait
