**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Maybe they'll give us the 1080Ti earlier than usual since they launched the new Titan so fast, they might be in a rush to get to Volta next year, which would explain the extremely high pricing of the 1080 and Titan cards.

No competition from AMD for the higher end on new cards, there was no need for them to bring out the Titan so quick even though most won't buy it and will wait for something more sensibly priced.. so really Pascal screams of rush job for the money imo.

Either that or they really just do want to milk the super expensive card before releasing the 1080Ti even if they don't want to release Volta early.

Ok, what's better than making lots of money? Make even more money! Come on man, no offence, but do you really believe what you're typing? NVIDIA had no problems making the original Titan obsolete a few months after release with the 780, they even sold 6GB 780s for a limited time to make the extra cost of the Titan even more pointless.

The Maxwell Titan X was made obsolete a few months after release when the factory OCd 980Ti cards were faster out of the box in all the benchmarks vs the stock Titan X for £300 less. Surely we have all gathered that NVIDIA give not one damn about mugging off the previous flagship if they see dollar signs in the near distance.

Something being cheaper, faster under regular use and more accessible for more gamers does not make the other become automatically obsolete, The Tx had it's own market spot that was not necessarily just gaming plus the 980ti's were not better in 3 & 4 way 4k scenario's. And let's face it if not for the money side of things many gamers would be on 3 & 4 way setups with multiscreens etc.
If I was loaded I'd currently have a racing sim with 3 monitors & TX's plus a 3440x1440 set up with 2 way and I wouldn't have even considered the Ti instead of the TX for either.
The Ti was more popular because it was cheaper and had aftermarket models that's all.

That original speculation was that Nvidia would make a scaled up 1080 instead of a scaled down P100 (i.e. the 1080 Ti wouldn't have FP64 cores).

It seems like that is not going to be the case, due to the Titan XP just being a cut P100/102 (seems the only difference between P100 and P102 is HBM2 memory).

So if we're going to get a 1080 Ti, it's either going to be a Ttian XP with less vRAM. Or the full 3840 chip (like the Kepler generation with the 780 Ti).

A 3328 core chip wouldn't be adequately faster than a 1080 to justify it.

They have options, 1080ti could be faster or slightly slower than TitanXP. If the 1080ti is slightly below the TitanXP they could for example release a full die as the Titan XP 'Black' with all SM's enabled.

Incidentally, the GP102 is its own die it doesn't have unused fp64 from the P100, has 128 fp32 cores vs 64 fp32 cores per SM, and it is also 470mm vs 600mm of the P100.
 
Even if a 1080Ti was released today I am not sure if I would buy one as there are no new games to play on it. For the last 2-3 months I have been replaying all my old games to fill the void. :(

Yeah but they know the vast majority of gamers won't be buying the TXP.

If they release a card in the middle of that range 1080-1080Ti-TXP they know people will buy them and stretch £1-200 more for a Ti rather than £4-500 more for the cost of a TXP with a similar performance.

The main objective of Titan is to help sneak in general increase in average cost of more mass market GPUs, so that those who buy them look at Titan and think: "We've got a bargain!"

Titan XP is the chip that would have been used for TI - instead NVIDIA decided it would just make it Titan and most likely have full chip calling it Titan X Black or whatever - there is no space for TI introduction in their current offering.

Only problem with that is the Titan X Pascal GP102 is only 471mm^ not 610mm6 like the GP100 chip.

Is that actually the case?

I thought it was speculation from the press, and actually GP100 and GP102 are only different in their memory controllers.

And the FP64 cores are present on GP102, just disabled?

If the chip really is only 471mm2, then that's a different story. But I can't find anything official from Nvidia.
 
I think one thing NVidia could do to release a 1080 Ti in 6 months time is to use the current Pascal Titan X and allow AIB partners to use custom coolers on it.

This would leave NVidia room to release a full fat GP102 chip as the next Titan.

Yes I think that is the way it will go. you can not really cut much down on the new Titan. The new Titan is just a money maker rebrand what was or will be a 1080Ti and stick £400/£500 on the price.
 
When they released 780ti it was better than the titan with more cores etc. and 699msrp vs 999 msrp on the titan. But I think at the time AMD were actually competitive whereas now they are not at all.

1080 Ti reports / news articles?

Hello,

The elusive 1080 Ti has not been leaked yet to my knowledge. I've held off buying a high end GPU such as the 1080 / Titan XP because historically the 'Ti' version of the '80' has been such good value for money performance wise.

Has anyone found any evidence that nvidia will make this card? i check videocardz/wccftech daily to no avail.
 
Grab potential Vega buyers before AMD release it. Can still charge a truckload, no prob there. If no competition, the better, control the pricepoints.
 
Convinced that low posting members of this forum are nvidia employees.

Why else do we get a " anybody heard anything about the 1080 ti?" thread starting each week and always by members who hardly post?
 
The 1080 is not even properly released, They just released a titan and yet as Greebo said these utterly silly threads keep coming. The release cycle is 12 months for each tick/tock roughly.

Why expect it to shrink? It will get longer just like the performance increases shrunk after each tick/tock the timespan now will be longer. There is no AMD either so...

Is it really unreasonable? The 980 Ti followed the Titan X after a few months. A 1080 Ti is a natural conclusion for many people.
