Are you ditching 1080 for 1080ti ?

I'm seriously considering it yes, that's if it's at the very least on par with TX Pascal. My reasons being I want to drive my 165hz monitor as fast as I possibly can (for health reasons).

Im not fussed about spending the extra skrilla as I had planned to buy a pair of 1080's anyway last year, but opted for one since SLI support is so poor now.
 
I'm hoping to catch a £400 1080 on the MM once people start swapping them like mad for the 1080 ti (which they will - upgradeitis is too real).
 
I am considering it, but it depends on price/performance of the 1080ti. If it's not worth it, I'll plow my geek stash into a Ryzen build instead.

As for all the talk of sanity and value for money, please bear in mind that this is an enthusiast GPU forum not MoneysavingExpert. ;)
 
I just punched in some figures regarding price/performance of Maxell & Pascal cards. As I game at 3440*1440, the most relevant "bang" for me is the Firestrike Extreme benchmark. Taking the Graphics score for each card and dividing by the cost tells us how many benchmark points we get for each £. It doesn't get much more scientific than that! :p

Some observations:

  • X70 series cards are best bang for buck.
  • The current 1080 was excellent bang for buck during Gibbo's recent sales, and even at current price is better than it's predecessor.
  • Titans are horrendous bang for buck, but longevity may offset this?
I'll be interested to see how the upcoming 1080ti slots in here.

:D

We discussed this previously and you told me it was making your head hurt, so I thought a picture might explain it better :p

Seriously though, as soon as we have price and benchmarks we'll have something to justify our guilty purchase. ;)
 
As I suspect the different will likely be in the region of 10-15%, anyone who does so is foolish in the extreme. And you know what they say about a fool and his money!
 
the success of the Ti came from it's ability to bring Titan performance at a much lower price, the thing is will this be the case this time around?
Nvidia have been hiking up the prices of their GTX series and the Titan, the 1080 is around 600£, so for how much money would they release Ti for ?
since the TitanXP price increased by about 200£ from the TitanX, and the 1080 increase from the 980, that puts the 1080Ti at 800£, hardly worth the wait at that point or the hype, because you will basicaly pay a Ti for a regular Titan price before the introduction of the XP.

If it's £800 with Titan performance then it'll be better bang for buck than the 1080.

my post started with " the success of the Ti series came from : ..."
look at what the 780Ti started at, the 980Ti , then the 1080Ti, if the entry level get out of the masses reach, the Ti will become another marketing tool like Titan rather than a value card for the majority of ppl.
the perception the Ti branding will not be the same.
 
I know I am ditching my 980ti for 1080ti.
I have only 1080p monitor, but 980ti wont handle all titles on 1440p, so first gpu, then monitor i suppose.
 
Got a EVGA gaming hybrid air/water 1080. I'd love a 1080ti but Im able to max every game I play on 1440.. If I ever went crazy 4k with a ridiculously expensive monitor then I would probably still not buy a 1080ti, would be more worth it to get a 1080

I and a few friends I know will probably struggle upgrading from 1080 to 1080 ti because the 1080s are absolute monsters anyway. However it will be interesting to see what the Ti does over the 1080 or even how the vega turns out since Ryzen its probably safe to say now, hats off to AMD they have done well!
 
It would be nice to have more juice for my UW screen but this year will be different for me, i need to stop scratching my itches and upgrade a little less (sad face on). I have my 9 year old on his pc too although he is pretty sorted for his 1080p needs at present 9 (sad face off).

Will see what is about nearer to xmas this year/maybe even whats about at begining of next, i like my current water build and my 1080 is not doing too bad.
