**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

You right when you say Vega is coming but that is about it.

We still don't know exactly when.

We also don't know if it will be a low end, mid range or high end card either.

When Vega does eventually turn up Pascal Titan owners will have had nearly a full years use out of their cards and they still won't have to worry about upgrading.

We know Vega will be out by June at the latest, have done for ages now. We also knew nvidia 10 series was imminent at the time.

Not sure what the Titan XP example has anything to do with what I was saying however. If anything you prove my point that it makes sense to buy the card at the start of its life cycle, not at the end when it has been out for ages. Especially when you know there is a process shrink on the cards.

Condescending. I purchased my 980 Ti when they were first released. But even now overclocked they're still pretty good.

?

Am I missing something. I never said the 980Ti was not good. I said I can see why someone who purchased a 980Ti just before 1080 came out would be upset.

Yeah, if I paid over £500 for a GPU then the price dropped to £350 a week later I would be upset!

Yes and no, crossed wires. This is why I struggle with forums. I understand everything that you have said, but have not been specific enough with my replies. I guess. There's no substitue for voice comms.
 
One thing we can say is, if 1080ti releases before we have any solid Vega news and its faster than the TitanXP (if possible?) then Vega is going to be good, if 1080ti drops between TitanXP and 1080 Perf then i reckon Vega will be gash.
 
I remember there being deep discounts on the 980ti in the months leading to the 1080/1070 release, to the point that many were crying that they might as well just buy a 980ti instead of a 1070, and that the 1070 had done nothing to push prices down etc.

Yea. Can happen. From my end I felt like you was going out of your way to be difficult/try and defend your card. I am like, why is this guy defending his purchase when I never once said anything to attack the 980Ti itself :p

Anyway. At least we are on the same page now :)

You're assuming that they know what each other have. Perhaps they do?

Give me the specs and launch date for the first Vega card then?

This is something that no one can do yet on these forums.

And it was you who wanted to talk about Titans.:D

Nah, it doesn't work like that. NVidia could well release early and grab sales from potential AMD cards. They could lower the price of the 1080/70 and take potential Vega sales, they could wait and launch. Nothing is certain by any means.

Haha. Now you are being pedantic Kaaps, I am not an oracle you know :p;)

What are you trying to say? I have a FreeSync monitor paired with an Nvidia GPU, but that doesn't matter. The FreeSync was just an extra free bonus with the screen, which I bought purely for the specs. It doesn't matter now and it wouldn't matter in the future if my next GPU was an Nvidia GPU. It would just be a nice bonus if I ever bought AMD. Heck, at least I didn't pay almost double the price for the G-sync version (seriously, the G-sync equivalent of my monitor is almost twice the price of the FreeSync counterpart).

That Nvidia doesn't support FreeSync is on them, FreeSync is opensource tech, free for use by anyone. Nvidia want people to buy G-sync and then feel like they have to buy Nvidia GPUs, since they feel 'locked in' to Nvidia. It's a cunning business move on their part, for them to make more money (as are most things companies do), but screwing over the consumer in the process.

I'm sure we'd all love it if we could buy a FreeSync monitor and it works with cards on both vendors. Me, I'm not fussed. I don't get screen-tearing anymore anyway (maybe the high refresh rate helps) and I don't ever intend to play games at lower framerates (some folks say that G-sync/FreeSync smooths up the FPS at lower FPS making it more tolerable).

Worst case scenario, if I ever really wanted a G-sync monitor, I'd buy one. Alas there's no G-sync monitor that currently exists which interests me. My next monitor will be a 4k monitor with 144Hz, whenever those eventually exist.

All I meant was that someone who has freesync would need to spend a lot to get a Gsync. Those of us who already gave Gsync have a smaller cost ahead of us to buy a Freesync monitor. You completely missed the context of my statement which was talking about having a Gsync and Freesync monitor.

Come on Kaap, at your age you should know that if a GPU has a 8+6pin that it's not going to be low end card... A bit of common sense would go a long way.

Just because you see a pic of an engineering sample card with 8+6 pin connectors does not mean it will be the first Vega card launched.

So where do they mention a 1080 Ti ?

Here's a pointer for our elderly poster club :P
