**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

I dont get the 8gb 480 it's a 1080p card with 8gb ram...

And the 1060 is a 1080p card with 6gb ram...

 

[Jono8]

but the 980ti wasn't £700 at launch, I bought 2 for £599 each

When the USD to GBP rate was nearly 1.6. It is now 1.24...so we will have a ~20% increase over here just from that if things stay as they are.

The 980Ti was FROM 649$ at launch i believe. Even if Nvidia keep the dollar price the same it will still START from £650 here, with most version being £700+

I think Nvidia will up the dollar rrp though as well if they still have no competition by then.

Yep don't get that either

nVidia are holding back on the 1080Ti because of Vega. They did the same with the Fury.

They'll have learned from their 980Ti fail.

? The 980ti was a very successful card.

It's the Fury series that was a big fat fail - for example it doesn't even register on the steam hardware survey, as not enough people run them!

Indeed. Consumers looking for a new card, who game above 1080p and want good framerates, have had no choice since the end of May.

It is looking like they will continue to not have a choice until at least early next year maybe longer as well.

In fact we might be looking at almost a year of Nvidia being completely unrivaled at the high end.

Well I'd of gotten something from AMD and I'd love to have been able to continue using Freesync but if you don't compete in what is "midrange" then you have no chance.

Yeah I don't know what he has been smoking, but I want some!

The hype around fury and HBM
Flop tastic !

I know it was, but it shouldn't have been released, as the FuryX was a massive fail, it turned out to be around the same performance as the 980, but was more expensive, so if Nvidia had held the Ti until after it got released, instead of releasing it before, then they'd have seen that they could have not bothered releasing it, and so not lost a shedload of cash, as everyone would have still been buying the more expensive TXs.

but a lot of people who wouldn't dream of buying a tx went out and bought a ti, as for losing them a shed load of cash ? i'm just not buying that

 

[LoadsaMoney]

The TXs were selling in bloody droves, Nvidia couldn't keep up with demand.

NVIDIA made more money by selling the 980ti cards - as they have to do something with the failed titan dies...

The 980ti used a cut down version of the GM200 chip. Not all dies are perfect, some don't pass the binning process to become titans etc, and so NVIDIA can simply disable some of the defective areas, and still sell the (expensive) chip as a lesser model, in this case the 980ti.

If NVIDIA just threw away all the defective GM200 dies, they would have made much less money

 

[LoadsaMoney]

They could have held it back and got more TX sales though, instead of rushing it out not long after, just because of the FuryX, as the FuryX turned out to be a massive fail, they just shot themselves in the foot, as they killed their own card, that they were selling by the absolute shedload at a grand a pop, less than 3 months after they released it.

I believe NVIDIA, a multi billion dollar company, know more about economics and release timing than you or I

Nah, was the right card at the right time imo. Kept AMD under their heel...

 

[fenchu]

If this card comes out january i get the feeling it will have one of the shortest shelf lifes in history.

I'd have to agree. It'll be no time before the 11** series is out. I'll bet my bottom dollar though that there won't will be much of an improvement over the 10**series...10% at most. Unless AMD's offering is decent, Nvidia will shaft us for a long time to come.

To be fair a 1080Ti card will be plenty for most people....people that can afford to buy it in the first place though (It'll cost the bloody earth I bet)

 

[Greebo]

Isn't the 11 series just refreshed pascal with faster stock clocks?

Suspect the might go to 2.2/2.3 overclocked but even then they are only going to be 5% faster than the 1080s although that might be 10% at none overclocked speeds.

Glad I went pascal this year

 

[Dicehunter]

Exactly why I'm sticking with the 1080 until the 11 series of cards comes out or may even go AMD if Vega is all it's been built up to be.

Your...is that logic? What ever that is, it's all over the place

If NVidia had not released the 980 Ti, what would they have done with all the GM200 chips that did not make the grade for the Titan ?
