Do I wait out for something new or do I buy a 1080ti and then buy a 2nd 1080ti when the new cards come out when they drop in price?

I play at 4K and need more power as I like all my settings maxed and the Titan X just wasn't cutting it. Sold it for over £800 and only cost me £1000 back in 2016 so not done too bad out of it.
 
Why was the Titan not good enough when a 1080ti is? The blower?

I'd of put an all-in-one on it for now.
If you now have no card you haven't got much choice for 4k gaming.
 
What should you do now? Look at current GPU prices and performance. You won't get anything that much better than what you already had any time soon.

Well the 1080Ti will perform on par with the Titan XP you sold, or slightly better if your looking at a aftermarket 1080Ti out the box , so don't expect a significant change in performance from what you get now.

Similarly I would avoid SLI where possible and its likely next gen mid range will outperform the Titan XP for the xx80 card so would get that rather then picking up a second 1080Ti with the way most games scale with multiple GPU's (unless your games specifically support SLI well).

At this point, if you really need a new card, I guess an aftermarket 1080Ti would be the best option as with a solid cooler it should net you a few more extra % in terms of performance vs the blower cooler on your Titan XP and come in for just slightly under the price you paid for it, but you wont see much of a performance change.

A 1080Ti will perform worse then your Titan Xp in 4K.

He had a 2016 Titan XP, not the full fat 2017 Titan Xp. The 2016 one will perform broadly similar to the 1080Ti.
 
That was a silly move :)

But at least OP managed to rip someone off by charging £800 for a Titan XP... crazy price... they're normally selling for £550-600 at the moment.
 
I would love to know how it's a silly move to sell up while it's still worth something and maybe go SLI 1080 ti or wait for the next GPU line.

Why on earth would I wait until Volta drops then sell a Pascal card when it's worth even less?

The advice in here is toxic and salty it seems.

If you do it right you can get 1080ti SLI for £600 which isn’t too bad. I would spend the extra and get a pair of AIO card though for the noise. Not much will beat 1080ti SLI at 4k, maybe apart from Titans.

You're selling up to buy a card which is the same performance, I don't see how that's a logical move? Your 1080ti won't be worth as much when Volta drops, even less so as Titans hold their value better than standard consumer cards. If you're doing it with the intention of dropping a cheaper 1080ti in for SLI then you need to hope that the mining craze isn't around still otherwise that won't happen. Just look at the availability of 980ti's right now, they're either scarce or over priced. The same will happen with Volta.

I mean it's your money and your decision and if you're happy then that's fine, but you'll be hard pressed to find people that share your opinion here. :p

Because you've sold up to buy something of the same or less performance... for a similar price... that's why.

A decent 1080ti will set you back £700 easily... so well done, you've saved £100 for no appreciable benefit.

Then when you come to sell, the 1080ti will be worth less than the Titan XP... so you've just lost another £50-100 of the money you just "saved".

That's why it's silly...

I think you mean £1200... or £600 per card. I've never seen a second hand 1080ti for £600...
