4k is rather top end still when it comes to screens? At more common resolutions the current NVidia GPU's are still very good some two years down the road. Old tech though, definitely. Not saying they don't need replacing now but most of us are probably still using max settings especially with the top end cards.
I use high end hardware but must admit I'm still on a 1440P screen, and only 60Hz too. Dell monitors seem to last forever. I still also run a Dell monitor from 2008 too, albeit it's not the monitor I use for gaming.
I'm hopeful new cards will arrive June. Just not sure this time around I'll be upgrading given I'm finding 1070 Ti Sli working well.

Nice setup, SLI would be good for multiple monitors too. I think 4k and VR stuff its too early but will wait and see what this next gen is all about but wont buy it until its settled and wai.
If SLI is working fine then there’s no point upgrading unless the next Ti is phenomenally better, which is unlikely.
Annoyingly I got my 480 for 1080P gaming, which it’s no slouch at, then unexpectedly replaced my TV with a nice 4K one. Was hoping that the 1080Ti’s would drop in price a bit and then was looking to upgrade but then the whole crypto thing went up a notch and GPU pricing went mad.
Now I’ve got to wait as I can’t justify to myself the cost of a current Ti, not when the next one is hopefully going to be here in the next 6 months or so. 1080P it is for now.

Were in a similar boat my man, got a 16:10 1200p with a single 980 (sold the other one a while back).
Was hoping for a ti at a sensible price. I think the next gen will be at current pricing, so I’ll probably bite the bullet then.

NVIDIA GeForce 11 Series Launching Around July, Hynix GDDR6 Production Schedule Reveals
https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce...july-gddr6-mass-production-timeline-confirms/
GeForce GTX 2070 and 2080 Could Launch Summer 2018
http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/geforce_gtx_2070_and_2080_could_launch_summer_2018.html
According to that 2070/80 = 1080Ti, 2060 = 1080, 2080 Ti 70/80% faster than 1080Ti, 2050 = 1060, 2030 = 1050.

Those numbers might be right, but probably situational as always.
I think this just highlights that the rumour sites know absolutely nothing. Have no "special sauce", any more than any of us do.
Some still saying Ampere is next GeForce; some saying Ampere is 7nm Volta shrink and for professional use only.
They can't even agree on whether it will be the 11 series or the 20 series.
Useless click-bait, all of it. nV have done very well leaking nothing at all.

Exactly; all up and about.
Reminds me of the HBM2 production dates; each time saying "NOW We know when Vega is coming".
I ordered a new GPU to replace my 980Ti; I'll be on it until 2019-2020 at least. Let's see what happens; and wait for actual news from NVIDIA directly.
NVidia next GPU after the 10 series cards "We have to wait" again we see the madness on fake news and spreading with online rumors what is the next cards will be?, I don't see what all the hype is over the next generation when the NVIDIA TITAN V had only 12gb HBM2 ram and it still !the most powerful PC GPU ever created! You can't say a 1180/2080 card with 16gb of ram costing £949.00? compare that to a £2600.00 card with just 12gb be 60-80% faster if NVidia was to go in that direction with the next consumer card they would lose money and it would be weird to do so IMO.
IMHO next card only 12GB after the 1080 TI 11gb

I don't see how they could get those gains in performance on 12nm. They would have to add so many CUDA cores to get 70/80%. A leap in clocks like Maxwell to Pascal seems unlikely given what we saw with the Titan V.
If they up the prices so that the 2080 simply takes the current place of the 1080Ti, then make the 2080Ti an even more expensive power hungry beast, then it is possible (i.e. replace Titan Xp).
They would also be increasing the power envelope at each tier of cards. Then again they have a lot of headroom over AMD to do that.

There is no way that the successor to the 1080ti will be 70-80% faster. It's going to be a refresh for one. The 980ti to 1080 was and is around 30 - 35% faster if you overclocked the 980Ti as it doesn't have the same boost. 1070 is a smidge faster than the 980ti in various games. This is going from maxwell to Pascal which we expected a decent jump with the arc and node drop. This refresh will in no way yield bigger returns or even equal. 980ti to 1080ti is what upto 70% faster? Id expect the 1080ti successor to be more like 45 - 50% faster.
Problem is when we saw the 980ti vs 1080ti most reviewers used the 980ti at it's base so 1ghz base and 1076 boost. We all know the 980ti can do way more than this. Most and i mean most hit 1400Mhz. This is a good 30% faster that what all reviewers did other than some. 1080ti will boost upto high 18xx on FE and even 19xx on aftermarket. After this there is hardly anything left in the tank.
This time around though because of how they switched up the boosting there wont be as bigger jump in that performance charade. It was the way they changed how boosting worked it provided a disparity in performance. We wont see that this time.
The only way they could do this is drop a teir of cards. Remember how we had Titan X then they release the titan xp out of no where?
Next gen they could slot in the titan xp as the new titan x lose the titan xp tier of card and drop down the tiers in sucession. That could make up the performance difference but other than that i can't see any other way.
So what we thought would be the 1080ti successor would actually be the 1080 successor and what we thought the 1080ti successor was, would be the titan X successor if that makes sense on this refresh.
I’m done reading tech sites for rumours, now I wait for the hands on users benchmarks. That said I fear that next generation of AMD and NVIDIA GPU’s will be priced too high anyway, NVIDIA have steadily upped there prices for every release for the last few generations, then there’s the increasing RAM pricing and the crypto mining craze, though it does look like some miners are selling up if the MM and eBay are to go by
I wouldn't say they increased price every generation but they certainly did with pascal, tried to keep it quiet because they knew they would get some flak for it.
Even with the recent news that mining may be over, the damage has been done. Nvidia have had (yet another) an excuse to increase prices and now that the excuse is gone, they'll keep the new inflated prices and treat it like the norm. If they really do take the mickey and price their 2080 at £600+ then I'm done, I'll stick with my 2nd hand 980ti thanks (I'm glad that Nvidia got none of my money from that purchase).
Same thing with GPP. Nvidia have shut up about it, hoping that eventually everyone just forgets about it and thereby accepts it.
In previous years, I too would be pretty active on this section of the forums, eager for some new GPU news. But we're now at a point where I'm not excited about new GPUs because the performance and especially the price, just won't be appealing at all. If there was some competition in the consumer graphics market, then I'd regain some interest. But for now, I'm glad I don't really use my GPU much.

Tbf the 1080's were released at around £600 for the decent brands (give or take), so I'm expecting the same or slightly more.
