Will you be buying an RTX TITAN ?

Nope, plenty happy enough with my 2080Ti.

It may or may not be any quicker. The 2080Ti is already quite heavily power limited without a bios flash. The Titan will likely be using the same board + same vrm and with no possible bios upgrades probably isn’t worth it to be fair.

All the cost for a few hundred cores and an extra 1gb memory. No thanks.

It may even be slower than a 2080 Ti when overclocked.

24gb of VRAM is a lot of memory to overclock and it only takes one poor memory chip to hold the lot back.
 
I never thought the 2080ti wouldn't have a higher card coming after it. My purchase of a 2080ti wasn't either buy a 2080ti now or wait for a Titan. A Titan was never going to be a consideration for me. I was well aware of the cost of the 2080ti, it wasn't some kind of surprise when my card got charged.
It makes no difference if the Titan comes 2 months or mid way through the generation.
I never said anything your saying, you don’t have to justify anything to anyone.

Just that for 1 thousand pounds for a 2080ti for it to now be dethroned is a bit of a laugh to me.

If it is dethroned. The big question is - as mentioned on here - how the card handles power. It's apparently 280W TDP, so assuming the usual +20% power limit we'd be looking at ~335W. But the Galax 2080Ti bios, for example, pushes 380W. That may be worth more than the 5% gain in cuda cores (256). I certainly gained more than 5% from pushing the power limit. Then as Kaap said, there's the issue of clocking a much larger amount of ram (although the base bandwidth is a bit higher due tot he full bus). So definitely not a certainty that the RTX Titan will replace the 2080ti on the top of benchmark lists.
 
It's not being marketed at gamers. It won't stop some people buying it for gaming, but that is not its market, and with that amount of RAM it's clearly not designed to be.

Cards apparently being sent to reviewers like linus and jay2cents suggest it rather is being, at least in part, marketed to gamers.

The higher memory count is likely a feature to provide a clear spec differentiation from the ti for marketing (at people including gamers) as much as it is a meaniful addition to the card.

I have a proposal, an RTX Titan time share.

Five forum members pledge £500 each, each person uses it for a set time then posts it forward to the next.

So I'll go first and use it for the first 5 years :p who else wants in? @Kaapstad @easyrider? @Gregster?
Easyrider? He would probably try and send you his 1080Ti when his time runs out and hope you don’t notice... Then tell you how stupid you are as you did not notice and have laugh at your expense :p

This time Just double check if you can SLI them before You get em :D
