**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Again exchange rates. Highly likely Nvidia could and will release a 1080ti which would be <£800 at the old exchange rates of 1.5 dollars to the pound. As we approach parity with the dollar, expect the 1080ti to be north of £800.

Already they have increased the Titanxp by £100.

They dont need to subsidise UK buyers by making it cheaper in the uk, they will set a worldwide release price.

Tough on uk buyers? Yes but thats life.

Yep, agree, tough for us.
The TXP may have gone up by £100 but the 1080/1070 (from Nvidia) still the same price since launch so still think something may be slotted in around the £800 mark (reference cards) although of course the cards won't be configured for our crap currency as you said :).

£900+, unless it beats a TXP will make some wish they had just picked up a TXP 6 or so months earlier rather than hating the pricing of it - £900- that's niche still and will many who didn't want to pay £1100 for a TXP pay £900+ for a Ti?

a £900 Ti just seems pointless if someone wouldn't spend £1100+ on a TXP would they drop £900 on a Potentially slower Ti? I don't think so. We need AMD to bring out a sub £600 card that beats the 1080 and once overclocked can match or get close to a Titan

Given the cost of the TXP I'm doubtful any Ti will be as quick or quicker for less money and people just wont pay that kinda cash for a Ti. I'm doubtful of a refresh that would mean the TXP becomes fully enabled but potentially running at lower MHz and the Ti using the same or the current TXP chip, again, partly due to the current cost of the TXP. If Nvidia took a bit of memory from the TXP to create a Ti and priced it at £900+ would people buy it? Sure it would be £200 less than the TXP price but that' been around since when, September?

Well the release of the Titan was February 19, 2013, and then the GTX 780 on came out on May 23, 2013 and the 780Ti on November 7 2013 so we aren't talking massive timescales here. It is well within the realms of possibility that Nvidia will release a faster fully enabled GP102 come the middle of this year.

Again by then a txp might be £1300 or £1400.

If you could have a Ti at £800 to £900 with custom cooler which might even be faster than a TXP (slightly) wont people see it as a bargain and buy it in droves vs the TXP at £500 more?

But if Brexit hadnt happened then perhaps you would have been talking about a £600 to £700 Ti vs the £1150 TXP and people would have seen it at a bargain then.
 
After some thought, I really can't justify these higher and higher prices. Gone for a used EVGA GTX 780 classified.. That'll do me for a year or so. Then Ill pick up a used GTX 9XX / 10XX card. My wallet is going to thank me xD.

I will have to enjoy the 1080 Ti vicariously through you guys xD

Would have been better with a used 290/x/390/x. That's if you don't have a G-Sync monitor but even then the gtx780ti is going out of fashion much faster.

It was under a ton, so thought would be good deal as stopgap GPU. Better than this gtx 750 Ti I am using.

Or maybe if I can get a year or so out of it then see what GPU landscape is like pricing wise then.

Would love to pick up a used Titan XP when peeps have moved on to Volta.
 
It's the timing that's irritating me. I've been patiently waiting for something that I feel is worthy to succeed my 980ti, but it's getting silly now. I'm not inclined to throw £900+ at Nividia for the final dregs of Pascal, especially if it's equal to, or slower than TXP.
 
The only thing that would make me regret buying my GTX1080 last week would be if the Ti were to come priced at around the £600 mark, any more than that and I wouldn't have entertained it anyways.
 
I won't bite unless the 1080ti performs better than a Titan XP. Not even the 980ti version of being neck and neck with Maxwell Titan X will tempt me on a 1080ti optherwise. As I've said, the first card that can comfortably do the 4k60 ultra across most games, will be the next GVPU I buy. If I have to wait an extra gen for such a card... so be it.
