**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Same for me. I have funds available but really lacking any interest in this. Mind you, if it does look like Volta is a long ways off and the price is fair for this, I might jump but seriously don't need something that is possibly 20% faster than my 1080.

Yep, I would like something that is at least 50% faster than a 1080 and the 1080 Ti will not be it so I have no choice but to wait until Volta :)

Why? 980Ti was on par with the Titan X? the whole idea is to release the super high end Titan then release a card that comes close to it at a cheaper but still inflated price like last time and everyone goes "wow this card matches a Titan1" and it sells like hot cakes? the 1080Ti will be a high end card that nvidia will want to sell at high volume like the 980Ti, what is the point in pricing it at Titan prices? That's hardly going to compete with vega at that price point is it.

Titans are £1200. Selling a ti for £800 which is as fast and it will fly out the f the door

Proof? Overclock any Pascal card's memory. The performance increases, and scales very, very well. Even overclocking the memory on TitanXP, with it's 384bit bus and 480GB/Sec bandwidth gets a nice performance increase from overclocking it's memory (which increases memory bandwidth).

HBM2 = much more bandwidth, which would massively increase the performance. Go and have a little think why G100 has HBM2, and not GDDR5X. Hint, it increases performance :)

Once you reach the max core overclock the memory does little with reducing returns. Hbm2 not needed unless they have a much faster core

Are you claiming that you know more about GPU engineering than NVIDIA? Why do you think they put HBM2 on GP100? For fun? For Laughs?! They chose it due to it's performance.

Adding +400 mem to my 1080 gives me 2 FPS in Deus Ex benchmark. Not much of an increase IMO.

For normal resolutions a lot of the bandwidth does not get used even at stock, overclocking raises the err clockspeed and therefore performance.

If a GPU has a 10 billion bit bus running @1mhz it would have massive bandwidth but still get beat by any bargain basement card from the last 5 years.

What a silly response. No one is saying HBM isn't faster - just that the returns may not be worth it when you look at cost and performance together. GP100 is meant for computing workloads which is a bit different that GFX workloads and the returns there are worth it - or are you saying you know better than NVIDIA erngineers?

NVidia also use 24gb of VRAM on their pro cards and that really does have an effect on performance.

I was using Luxmark 3.0 to compare a Pascal Titan to a Quadro P6000. In the low and medium level tests my stock Titan won easy, on the high level test the P6000 was slightly faster due to having 24gb of memory compared to 12gb on my Titan. It was only when I overclocked my Titan that it beat out the P6000.

What is interesting is both the Titan and P6000 have the same 384bit bus but the memory on the Titan is clocked higher giving it more bandwidth yet this was not enough @stock to beat the 24gb P6000 in memory intensive tasks.

Had to go round and count them.

43 at the moment.

6 of them are dual cards so if I was counting GPU cores the total would be 49.

Lol! Nice. Many of them purchased from OcUK? No wonder you were awarded 'Man of Honour'.

Edit: Actually ordering from OcUK doesn't make sense if you live in Skaro, so the award must be just about how honourable you are.

I have got most of them from OcUK.:)
