**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Big Vega beats Titan X in my mind, no question now. $200 cheaper ti... 1080 retains it's price, Titan retains it's price... they don't expect much from Vega or don't know.

Half the Titan X price, kill the 1080 pricing requiring the 1080 to be slashed in price and offer a big core at $700..... there is a sole reason for this. Vega is going to own Pascal. This is literally a inventory clearing move. You slash prices to clear stock before a product comes along and makes your inventory significantly devalued. IE you sell at a smaller profit much quicker in the short term to prevent being stuck with a lot of inventory that you can now only sell for a much lower profit or even at a loss.

Wake up, you're dreaming... no really, I think you're sleep typing. Your alarm obviously didn't go off this morning. Come back to reality. ;)

People were buying Titan x's right, and people were buying 1080's right? Amazing sales everyone says? Why sell a 50% larger core, with more memory, at the same price? This is directly reducing profit. If people were buying Titan X's and 1080's at current pricing, why not add the Ti in at $900 to get extra money from the guys who wanted a Titan but couldn't quite afford it? When was the last time Nvidia tanked their whole pricing structure by moving a large core to the lower price point?

Give me a good reason to reduce profits on every core, because that is what Nvidia just did with their pricing.

Honestly $699 ti, with higher performance compared to a Titan at $1200 screams to me that they think Vega is shortly going to come along and kick their behinds and they don't want to be sitting on several hundred million of expensive inventory they can't make a profit on any more.

There's a good chance Vega is strong but I really doubt we'll be in a situation where NVIDIA can't sell cards because their top end is too slow :D :D That's pure fantasy land.
 
Just saw that the TI does not have a DVI port, meaning only 4 ports along the bottom. Meaning 1 slot card with a waterblock! I'm sure that will make someone exited :)

Well considering AMD have already shown Vega running DOOM at 4k around 60-70fps and the 1080ti is faster than the titian x its going to be faster than vega.

From the video: while the performance of this card isn't as good as a Pascal Titan X in Doom, it is pretty close.

And thats in a heavy AMD game.

So Vega cannot come in near the 1080ti price or whats the point so has to be around 400-450 which im sure some people will buy but a lot of people since AMD haven't been that competaive for a long time already has some kinda of gync monitors they arn't going to sell up monitor and gpu.

We have little idea as to what configuration of Vega that demo was shown off on though.

No they're not, 1080s still £700-800 on OCUK, yet apparently they now cost $499 in the US. This is ridiculous.

There are online retailers that have reduced prices across the range by £50-£75, meaning there is a good selection of 1080's that can be now had for about £550. With the usual suspects of Asus & MSI still costing over £600.

I'm sure OCUK will respond soon.
