I had to laugh at this months PC Gamer. They had a reveal on the GTX 1xxx's and said the 1080 would be £400 and the 1070 £250 and based it on straight £-$.
Be interesting if they retract that in the next issue.

980 is a joke compared to a 970 overclocked. 980Ti is a joke compared to a 980 overclocked. What's your point.
Some of those scores?
980Ti gains 30fps with an overclock? Lol

Got to agree, £525 is far too expensive for card thats faster than a one that costs £839, wtf are Nv smoking, they want to lay off the drugs tbh.
All this shows is that there is an average -7% difference between the 1070 OC and 980 Ti OC?
Be interesting to see how OCing AIB cards will be any different, if they can close that gap.
Personally I still think someone looking for 1070/980Ti performance is better off going for the newer card. Drivers will improve after all.

Would this not be more relevant if your comparing a OC'ed 980Ti to a OC'ed 1080 of the model like what they did with the stock release cards.
To be frank I'm never expecting big gains from Nvidia as they are sitting in pole position lapping up the cream. If there is someone that will try harder I would expect it to be Radeon since they are very much the under dog these days and they need bigger gains to be relevant in the one card sector.

good lord those coolers look cheap and nasty. It's like going back to 2002. Do not want.
Is the 1080 faster than 980Ti? Yes
Is the 1080 essentially (when prices will settle) as pricey as the 980Ti? Yes
So...

Indeed. Especially when the 1070 is faster than a 980Ti, With 25% less shaders and standard GDDR5
980ti matches 1070 in most benchmarks i have seen and even keeps ahead.

The 1080 is around 20-30% faster in various different benchmarks and games hence it is more expensive than the 980ti which currently is still around the £500 mark. So more performance and efficiency=bigger price.
I have seen so many posts of "1080 is to much money" etc etc I nearly believed it. However you then look at £ per FPS and the 1080 is actually a really good price! Much better value than the 900 series.
This is because it is a bigger jump in performance than recent series. Its around 50% faster than the 980!! Yet it released at around £50 more than the 980, depending on model so really you are getting much more for your money.
This is another thing can we stop basing the price on the rip off FE version? There are cards from £525 upwards on sale now and some really good custom coolers from around £560+.

25-30% improvement for the same outlay a year later just isn't enough for me to switch. For new buyers on slower hardware why not? I'm still waiting for a decent game to stress my Ti.

Doesn't seem like it's particularly exceptional in terms of price to performance to me. Safe to say it'll slip another couple of places in those charts when the GTX 1070 and RX 480 are released too.

For sure no need to upgrade, as a 980ti owner myself only a couple of games really push it @1440p. I think the 1080ti will be a nice upgrade depending on the price but hopefully it will be around 50% faster.
From what I've seen the 980Ti and 1070 are about even, but with the 1070 generally winning by a small margin.
Which is exactly what we would expect? It's better than last time when the 780Ti was mostly faster than the 970 at release.
A £320-400 card faster than one that costs 500+, that uses less power, has more memory and more features... seems pretty good to me.
