**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

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.
 
If it is on the same day as AMD are having a bash too, then you can be fairly sure something big is to be announced.

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.

Lot's of ifs and maybes in this article. Could just be another Shield type announcement. But fingers crossed it's GPU related!

This table in the link says it all, there is no info on the 1080 Ti if that is what NVidia end up calling it whatsoever.
 
Fingers crossed the AMD releases are decent and it pushes down the prices of the card at release! 12GB of VRAM would also be very nice.
 
I don't think the 1080ti will come to market, I just don't see where it will fit, the TitanX fits in where the 1080ti would have done (albeit at a hugely inflated price tag), also if AMD's Vega is is a 1070/1080 competitor NVIDIA's offerings have been out for several months already, all they have to do is drop the prices clear all the remaining stock and before we know it boom there next gen of GPU's (Volta?) are here. AMD is far to late to the party, unless they blow the 1070 1080 out of the water, which they won't.
 
That hasn't stopped them before! They have often released cards that don't fit really in the current range (mostly thanks to the Titan cards), which then forces down the prices of the current cards. I think its a lot more to do with being seen as responding to AMDs releases, even if it isn't strictly necessary. They have a strong hold on the market place and will want to keep it that way. I suspect they will want to do more than just slash the prices of their current cards, releasing something new shows they have things in the pipeline and can match anything AMD release.

Judging by the recent rash of deals that retailers are offering on the current range of cards, something is coming soon.

Agree. Somethings up? Maybe a new branding? Titan X needs to be replaced
 
We need AMD cards to compete with the 1070/1080 but at lower price points. The 1080ti will be nice but without any information on performance and cost I'm more inclined to see what AMD performance wise have to offer right now.
 
If they're unveiling the 1080Ti and it turns out as expected, a cut down version of Titan, slightly slower but still really expensive, then it'll be neither amazing or surprising. It'll just be Nvidia being Nvidia. Yay.
 
well if they don't deliberately cripple the half precision performance like they did with the 1070 and 1080 then I'd be very interested in a 1080ti
 
supposing I was building a new system in the next week or so, completely new system, and I'd like a powerful GPU for some coding related projects... and I might like to get this 1080ti when it comes out....

in terms of the hit I'd likely take buying a GPU now and then selling it in say a month or two - would you go for a 980ti, 1070 or 1080?

I'm assuming my best bet is a second hand 980ti now rather than a brand new 1070/80 and then resell in a couple of months?
