**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

At PAX East 2017 show

Although the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti was expected at the CES 2017 show, Nvidia has apparently decided to slightly delay it and, according to latest reports, the card is expected to launch at the PAX East 2017 show which starts on March 10th in Boston.

According to the story that was circling around the CES 2017 show, Nvidia was actually planning to reveal the GTX 1080 Ti at the show but has decided to delay it in order to wait for AMD's Vega -based graphics card and try to rain on its parade.

According to The Tech Buyer's Guru site, which cites "a friendly rep at the MSI booth", the GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is real and will be available from all Nvidia AIC partners, as soon as Nvidia gives the green light at the PAX East 2017 show.

This also means that the GTX 1080 Ti will probably be available from day one and it is also possible that partners got a green light to make custom versions.

In case you missed all the earlier rumors, the GTX 1080 Ti is likely to be based on the same 16nm GP102 Pascal GPU as the Titan X, but pack anywhere between 2560 and 3584 CUDA cores. It should also pack 10GB of GDDR5X VRAM on a 320-bit memory interface.

AMD's upcoming Vega 10-based graphics card performance was impressive at the show, but Nvidia's GTX 1080 Ti is certainly packing a lot of power as well.

Buy a second hand high end card from the last gen. There's always some youngster who thinks they need the latest most expensive graphics card for their epeen swinging forum sig, who will sell their card to you for a loss....to themsleves. Your gain is their loss :) There is not a huge list of games that a 980Ti can't still perform in.

£800 and not even 'Titan' branded. The world has gone mad.

I'm sticking to used GPU's for now. I can't keep up with the rest of you xD

Maybe in a few years I will finally get to try em :D

As I've said before the used market is full of gems and wee guys looking to swing their epeen by buying the latest cards, means they sell their cards for bargains

What that is a ridiculous statement.

I haven't brought anything new for my system but when I last purchased it all I saved up the money needed and had a budget. Now to suggest because I spent £2.6k on a PC wouldn't mean that an extra £100 would not mean anything.

I will be waiting another gen again to make sure I have cash saved to be able to afford next time around and if the GPU I would like is £1000 I will save for that, doesn't mean I will be happy to drop an extra £100 and it doesn't mean anything.

Try telling that to the misses as well.

If you can afford to spend £1100 on a graphics card then it's unlikely that £100 is going to damage your(sic) wallet. If you can afford to spend £2,600 on a pc then wow you're in a better place than I am money wise (jammy git :D ).

I remember getting a fully loaded complete high end spec pc for £1000 back in the day, now that £1000 doesn't even get you a graphics card (titanP) :o:(

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway back on topic. Anything new about the Ti in the media today? I've had a nosey and can't find anything even close to "facts"

A bit of chat about the shaders and potential vRAM amounts and type of vRAm used, but nothing really that hasn't been said on here before.

I wish we'd get some decent info to chew over.

I know the 1080TI specifications and release date haven't been made official yet but would ditching the 980 for a 1080TI be a solid upgrade? If so I'm hoping this AMD Vega line will make NVIDIA think twice about trying to fleece the market once more, zero competition in terms of alternative options in the past 12 months.

I went from a 980 to a 980ti and I noticed the performance jump, to go from a 980 to a 1080ti will be a huge increase for you , probably double or more.

The code on the site means Jack.

Fact is the 1080ti does not exist in the market yet, No one knows its cost or anything.

There has been no 1080ti announcement.

You are basing your offer on conjecture...

You have to admit Easy that it's definitely pointing to a 1080Ti launch? Even the most hardened AMD fanboy or anti-Nvidia person would say that it's looking like another card is being announced, just in time to take shine off AMD's Ryzen launch. Anything to knock AMD, is what Nvidia marketing departments do (even if Ryzen is CPU related and 1080Ti is GPU). I can see this as a definite 1080Ti launch.

I haven't been around here much for a while... but am baffled by how people can think the current prices of GPU's are OK?

When I got 980ti, it was already pushing the limits of sensible pricing.

Now we have had the GTX 970 "equivalent" costing in the same range as the 980ti, and the 1080 ti is now pushing £200 more than the 980 ti was (roughly)

Brexit can only be blamed so much... is it simply a case of nvidia went down Intels route of pricing things such simply "because" ?

Lets' hope Vega knocks some sense back into all this, like Ryzen seems to able to do for CPU's

Yeah modern GPU pricing is just getting ridiculous now. Hope Vega does a Ryzen too :)
