**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Shoot my self in the foot and predict there will be a Ti, GTX 1070 Ti .... Just slap on some GDDR5X on their and a few Cuda cores and boom. Should be market appealing .
Can't seel the appeal in 1080Ti this time around marketing wise, Titan already cut down and people will just buy another 1080 for SLi so they'll ship more cores to 3rd parties .This time around the market share is just to low since the titan isn't that much ahead of a 1080.

Sure the 1070/90Ti... I want a 1060Ti :)
 
At current pricing I'm not sure where a 1080 Ti fits in. At say £900 it'll be a lot of money for a compromised product if it ends up being a cut down TX...might as well spend a bit more for the TX. If someone cant justify £1099 for a card I'd surprised if they can a £900 card. As there's probably a lot of money being made from the 1080 maybe the price will drop and then a Ti slot in around £700, or £699.99 :P. I can see a Ti around £700 doing very well.

All guesswork of course :D

What's everyone's 1080Ti price predictions then?

I'd say £950-999 at launch, that would keep the previous 10 series pricing where it is until competition arrives. I really can't see Nvidia dropping current pricing to allow a £700-£800 Ti which would make the GTX 1080 and TitanXp nearly impossible to purchase.

Why would Nvidia promote they robbed their customers with a price drop and lose money at the same time.
 
799.99 will be the 1080Ti price with obvious more expensive cards. It will allow for the 1080 to drop down 549 rather than 600+ if there is any competition from AMD
Seen as the jump from 1080 to Ti wont be that big anyway i can see it being like that price wise.
 
Not much chance of that when you have got 1080s selling for £800

not unless they reduce the price of the 1080, even though a cheap 1080 is 570? yes, so a top end 1080 i.e classy is 700, so its viable that a 1080ti will be starting at 800 onwards, probably a after market 1080 price reduction it will be reasonable...

Only if the 1080 dips to £499 inc

i doubt it will drop that low tbh seeing as what price the 480 is around. What ever AMD bring out it will undoubtedly be on par with 1070 potentially being faster in odd games but 1080 being slightly faster then the faster of the vega will be trying to compete with the titan/Ti end. So AMD wont price their slower vega part close to what the 480 is.
 
Weren't there people only a few weeks back saying "There will never be a 1080 Ti, There's no place for it" ? :p

Yeah, most were spouting that, despite nvidia releasing a Ti for the last two architectures and being in the business of making more money EVEN IF the 1080 and Titan are profitable.

Also had a few adamant the 1080Ti would be in the £1200+ price range as to further validate their 1080 purchase.

It gets pointless arguing the toss, but just watch history repeat itself. 1080 price drop and 1080Ti £700-800. Just like with the 980Ti (although the 980Ti was cheaper at launch). The 980 became undesirable when the Ti came out.

The Ti market just allows nvidia to go laughing to the bank once again after getting all that cream off of the 1080 and Titan sales. The money making is endless for them right now.

Would be odd for them to drop the Ti brand again... it's one of their signature products and has been since geforce started iirc... I remember lusting over the original 480Ti (or similar)... although it did skip a few generations... perhaps it's been superseeded by the Titan brand.

I too am expecting a 1080Ti to arrive in the next month or two... it makes sense... if nothing more, they get rid of the binned chips that didn't quite make the cut to go in a Titan X

I stand by what I said about it !!!

There is no room between the 1080 and Pascal Titan.

Having said that though by 2017 sales of the 1080 will have dried up to a very low level. This is when the 1080 Ti would fit as it will generate more sales for NVidia but they will have to accept that from that point on they won't be selling hardly any 1080s.

Before the above happens, all the time the 1080 is selling well there is no place for the 1080 Ti, next year is a different story though.

I don't think there'd be a good market at that price. Even if the performance was the same as the TX but with less memory, it'd be better to pay just 10% more for more memory so most would just get the TX.
I can't see a refreshed TX being more than what the current price is so a Ti IMO would need to be £300+ cheaper. Without moving the price of the 1080 lower that would put a Ti around £799 then, which is still a large chunk of money for many, unless the 1080 price dropped a bit.

Nothing robbing about price drops. Technology moves fast. When new product and zero competition then......as the technology ages and competing products(possibly) get closer then value and pricing changes

The only way the 1080 Ti can exist is by competing against the 1080, this will happen only at the point when sales of the 1080 are very poor.

Sales of the 1080 must be starting to dip as NVidia are doing free games promotion with it now.

Possibly true but many are waiting for something as they see the TX as a rip off. They want something slightly compromised but arguably "just as fast" in their mind. Is that a market itself waiting to be fulfilled? They may just release it at some point to sweep up the rest of the cash this generation :) but yeah probably not while 1080 sales are still very very strong

This I agree with and there are plenty on this forum.

Having said that though 99% of people who will buy the cards don't belong to forums and will not even think about the above, these are the people NVidia will try to milk to the maximum.
