Also I don't buy the whole Brexit reason for pricing at all.
I've just found an EVGA FTW on an american site...lets call it. Old Hegg...
For LESS Dollars than it is here in pounds. No I know the exchange rate aint that bad lol.
Its $650 vs best part of £700 here. Mental.
Think I'll pick one up when out there. (thats £500 by travelex conversion) And the Warranty transfers to UK EVGA RMA site.

NVidia are overpriced and selling poor quality products. Try taking a Pascal Titan apart and you will know this is true.

Don't you have 4 of them? :confused: £4400 for what you consider to be poor quality, hardly seems money well spent.

I've seen a tear-down of the titan x and it looks ok to me, not sure what you're seeing as bad quality in it.

click baiting or any truth?

Very likely click bait. Totally rules out the TX. Before with the TX at least you would have the extra 6gb for 4K. Ti for >5% percent perf with 9/12gb seems a pointless release to me.

Plus there is no competition from AMD for even the 1070/1080. The 980Ti was released in competition for the fury-x.

To be fair the overclocked 980ti esp high end AIB ones did beat Maxwell Titans....................

Exactly, so they're just regurgitating stuff based on previous cards and acting like its "insider info". They might as well have said 1080 ti to come on a pcb for all the new info we gained from that crap they posted.

Thermal pads are made of chewing gum and the 4mm hex bolts are mickey mouse.

EKWB waterblocks are a pain as they stop the cards seating properly in the motherboard.

All in all not good from NVidia or EKWB.

You are throned the king of first world problems lol.
 
It's doing the rounds to at least one financial info site that doesn't post rubbish so I reckon this could happen and soon-ish too.
Doesn't make sense in some ways to release a Ti at least soon so we'll see, maybe too many have bought into the rumour.
Quite a few are waiting for a Ti, thinking they'll get a better value product (than the TX) so there's obviously a market waiting for something to arrive.

It won't mean the TX is obsolete though - it'll still be faster,or an updated version will be, with more memory most likely so still more suitable for some folks.

Brexit or no Brexit if anyone thinks the 1080's would have cost less £600 are kidding themselves.

..which still makes them way overpriced for a node shrunk, clock bumped Maxwell.

Yes, people are forgetting that the 1080 and 1070 launched before all that happened and before the change to the value of the GBP. And even at launch I remember the hilarious complaining about the price, and those jokes about the clown card.

I won't pay any more than £600 for a 1080ti and considering that... I probably won't get one anytime near release. It will probably be the next gen before I buy one as it get's reduced for clearance ala 980ti. Except next time I'll know to watch out for possible lack of stock and cancellations (I cancelled my 980ti order due to no stock and thus no ETA).

And even then the 1080ti might not even be the next card I buy. If AMD stop being overhyped disappointment, then I might buy whatever Vega offers, if it can even consider competing with Titan XP. Makes a bit more sense considering I'm more likely to buy a FreeSync monitor than G-sync one.

Maybe I should just reconsider my 980ti cancellation...
 
Can't get excited about pascal for some reason, whether it's the price versus performance or I've got more tighter with my wallet. If the 1080ti does come out I think it will be the only card to tempt me unless. It's £800 plus.

I find it very hard to get excited about Pascal - largely knowing that the specs/overall package for each card versus its tier position would have been a very different story in every generation before 28nm came along.

Err, the 1080ti will be louder than the 1080, as it will be almost +100W, more when overclocked. Of course that's assuming the same cooling method.

1080's are already very quiet cards, unless you bought a flounders edition, in which case you have no-one to blame but yourself.

What? They started at £525 on launch, and I had a gigabyte 1080 g1 on order for £560 from a competitor at the time (cancelled it in the end as wanted a 1070).

In fact there were a lot that were under £600 on launch and before the brexit vote result (apart from the founders, lol asus prices and the real extreme AIB versions)

There is so much rubbish spouted on these forums about the current UK prices for GPU's at the moment. They suck because the pound sucks - you can stick your head in the sand and claim otherwise all you want but that is the reality of it.

If we had the same exchange rate (1.6 dollars to the pound and not 1.3) as when the 900 series released, 1080's would start at less than ~£475 and 1070's would start at ~£300.
