Considering the 980Ti came in at £200 more than the 980 on release. Im saying around £800 in my opinion. Might even get as cheap as £750 for the clown card

Cheapest 1080 on here is £579, the TXP is about £1200 isn't it ?, so im going for around £750 and up for the Ti, just slotting inbetween them.

£200 plus my 2 980 Tis is the most I'll pay for a 1080 Ti but yea I'd like to get rid of sli can't enjoy certain games at 4k that don't support it, ( dead rising 3, evil within) as maxed out they hover around 35-40fps when I want solid 60fps which an overclocked 1080 Ti will do

Vega save us!
I might have to spend some money on some short-notice tickets abroad this month, so the price will determine how soon I can get a new GPU.
But if nothing this year can comfortably do 4k60, then I won't bother. I might get something with 980ti/1070 perf for £300 if Vega provides options there, but otherwise, I'm still waiting for that 4k60 card.

I wouldn't even touch Vega even if its faster than the Ti for the same money got a 1200 quid gsync monitor so nvidia has my money regardless
And everyone thinks im odd when I say I wouldn't dream of buying a Gsync or Freesync monitor.... This is exactly why. Limiting yourself.

I'm talking at the point the 980Ti was released. The 980's were around £350-400. 980Ti's came in at around £550-£600.
980S were £399 on release for cheapest.also as the places where cards sit and pricing has basically been ignored.you cant base prices on what previous cards used to be.
they ripped that formula up start of this year.cant see it changing.just gunna charge whatever they want.
generally ti cards are close to titan performance or maybe cut down titans so cant see lower than 800 quid.possibly more.

I agree with regards to paying through the nose for the G-sync premium but a panel with freesync only has a small added cost and it still works fine with an Nvidia card, I imagine g-sync panels do to but they have that premium and when you've paid the extra for the feature you'll want to use it, I've bought a freesync panel but if Vega doesn't tick my boxes I'll look at the 1080's pricing at that time and possibly go with one of those or a 1070 until something better comes along.

Yeah.
I would just hate to be swayed even slightly to one brand over another on anything apart from price and performance. I would hate to spend a fortune on a monitor just to feel I now have to buy a particular brand of GPU. crazy.

I understand your train of thought, but I personally think it's a little bit skewed. I've had a Gsync monitor since I had my 970. It was a 1080p monitor and I'd say even two years down the line that both would still compliment each other today. I moved on to 2560*1440 Gsync with a 980ti and again both could compliment each other for years.
I currently have a 3440*1440 Gsync monitor and a 1080 would be fine. I've been holding out for the 1080ti and again if I get one (very likely) then it'll pair up with this monitor for years.
Refusing to try Gsync would be like refusing to try X99 just in case AMD released a better motherboard in two years time. The fact is, if Zen was ground breaking then I'd sell my current 5930k setup and switch sides. Likewise, if Vega was twice the performance of a 1080ti then I'd buy AMD and switch Gsync off... And if I missed Gsync that much, I'd sell my X34a and go Freesync to match my Vega card!

I wasn't sure whether to try Steak or Lobster at this new restaurant as I had heard both were very good, so I decided to not bother and stayed in and had beans on toast instead.
But if you don't have either a Freesync or Gsync you are limiting yourself even more!
At least if you have one or the other you have afifty percent chance of using the tech!
