Perhaps they don't have many of the chips left.
Who said no one was buying the the Titan X? Given the price difference, manufacturing costs and they are sold direct thenthe profit margins are huge for TX and Nvidia can get away with selling far fewer Titans than 1080ti and still make more more. there is then the issue of yields.
The 1080Ti will have at lat 6 month before Volta appears, adn that is very optimistic Volta release date. Even so, 6 months is a decent time for a top card to remain in the top spot.

It's because of Vega
You say tomato I say tomatoe
You say Vega I say Volta
Actually No, You said Vega, he said Volta.

Until the Titanp came out
That was pretty sad really, People hadn't even had their aftermarket 1080ti's delivered before it got knocked of the top spot by the new Titan P. That said it is in a different class price wise so the majority of 1080ti buyers wouldn't spend 1.2k on a gpu anyway.

I wouldn't say it's not worth getting a 1080ti.
As per the last 3 releases, they will release the mid-range 1080-esque card first. The 2080 or whatever it's called will be similar performance, probably marginally (5-10% at most) faster than the 1080ti.
Then the next £1200+ Titan will come out another 3-6 months down the line and the next TI will be another 6 months or so... so you won't really get better than a 1080ti for nearly a year and that'll only be the titan level card, it will be more than a year before the next TI is out at a similar price to the current TI...

1080 was 25-35% quicker than 980ti no reason why 2080 won't repeat that
GP104 is only 314mm² so there's definitely room to go bigger for GV104 if the architecture alone isn't getting them there.
I would say a solid 20% faster when all said and done and oc'd.
Gpu tech moves so fast nowadays that you may as well buy the best card you can afford and enjoy using it. Today's top end card is tomorrows mid range card, there will always be a better one around the corner..

I wouldn't be surprised. I always thought of Pascal as a bit of a gap filler, not originally on the plan from what I remember? With the node change from 28, Pascal was the first on a smaller node too and am sure they can make lots of improvements now and also need to improve DX12 soon-ish. If I remember it was about 1 year 9 months between the 980 and 1080? I think it'll be less this time. Come June that's one year for the 1080 and I reckon we'll have the early next gen cards before Chrimbo........and nothing to do with Vega I think. WIth all the talk of AI, machine learning, self-driving cars, huge data processing, I think NV want to push forward as fast as they can regardless of their competition

Yep, even less then that from my experience. Or at least when I compare my 1080's to Titan X maxwell's it was more like 15% at stock vs stock on blower and similar 15% delta when both were OC'd to reasonable numbers. This is in actual games, not synthetics for which the 1080 appears to be better.
Yup, think its entirely plausible to see the AI or workstation cards this side of Christmas, then the actual consumer GPU's early next year. 1080Ti would have been out for 9-10 months by then.
This reminds me just before the 1080 came out and lots of the Graphic card Pro posters were saying it won't be that good get a Titan Black you will be fine !
Then the benchmarks came in and the same people were rushing to sell their cards ...

People seem to regularly overestimate new AMD products and underestimate Nvidia's. At least over the past few new series releases.
Nvidia may charge an organ and a child, but they haven't disappointed in bringing the performance for a while now.
Yea, but wccftech is a very good source and is deemed quote worthy in these parts

You do realise I was being sarcastic right?
