In distant future when 980ti goes for £250 like how 780ti did in a special offer deal, then I will get it

I'll get 2 of these bad boys!
Lets see how this plays out.
980Ti will be a sell out without a doubt and will look a bargain even at £650 compared to the TX will 6GB more vram for £250-£340 extra wonga.
I can't see it costing £650.
Let's face facts, Nvidia will not release it until they have taken every Titan X sale they can, and that means they won't release bugger all until AMD give them a reason to. Right now they don't have one and are preying on the desperate. I have been tempted a few times now to go Titan X but thankfully my Titan Blacks have been putting up a really good account of themselves.
When AMD release their 390 cards Nvidia will then have a reason to try and claim back the crown. Until then? Titan X or GTFO.
Which sucks, hard.
I'm not so sure on that, I'm thinking they are releasing cards so that people thinking of upgrading are buying Nvidia as its the only new gen out there. Yes some of those users will then buy 300 series as its newer but the majority of them wont they will be happy and wait for next years die shrink.
Longer before 300 series comes out and Nvidia keeps releasing cards smaller the market becomes for those 300 series IMO
+1
When I said lets see how this plays out I was referring to if VideoCardZ have got the details right as they seem very sure about things like the chip name.
they're releasing it to stop people buying the 390X, AMD aren't smart enough to fight back, they've allowed Nvidia to totally outflank them, why?.........they should've released the 390X when the Titan X stocks ran out 3 weeks ago..............This was the perfect window of opportunity, but the idiots missed it.
it was obvious before Titan X was released........REALLY OBVIOUS..........that like with the 970, Nvidia would run out of stock after 2 weeks leaving loads of very irate and frustrated customers having to wait flipping ages.
it makes you want to shoot yourself..........and now what, yea the whole world knows that AMD are going to sell the 390X in June, giving Nvidia loads of time in advance to ruin their party.
AMD suck and now you know why.

maybe time for me to upgrade my 780 gtx with 1 of theses or 2 as ive not been spending my cash
with 1 of theses or 2 as ive not been spending my cashYou assume too much.
The one thing the people at AMD are not is idiots. I also think to get a job with AMD requires a level of intelligence that would rule me out as well.
Mal if you really think you are right perhaps you can give a detailed planning and strategy plan of what AMD should do to get their next GPU on the market along with manufacturing start times, sites, volumes, costs (packaging, materials, labour), marketing, distribution, advertising, margins and anything else you can think of. Unfortunately I am not that clever and it is beyond me.
It's best not to take Mal's posts too seriously.
In one thread he can't wait for the 390x because it will beat the Titan X, in another thread AMD suck because the card isn't out yet and he can't see it beating the Titan X.

I would imagine the salvage dies would be used for a GTX 1080.
The 780Ti was the full chip with half VRAM which is why we all assume it will be the same here. The yields will be very good at the foundry by now but the die is at the size limit of what can be made, so who knows really.

I just hope 16nm pans out like 20nm didn't, and that AMD release their cards early in the gamer to help keep prices lower. Titan X or greater performance for £400 in 14 months? Here's hoping (without being hopeful).
I'm not that optimistic about 16nm, the transistors are smaller but the interconnects and wiring is about the same size. Not being a chip engineer I don't know exactly how much difference that makes but I think it's telling how hell-for-leather TSMC are on 10nm, if you believe their dates they would have early production in mid-2016.
This thing is supposed to release this month. Even though it's out of my budget, I'm still excited for it. Who knows... perhaps if I delay my build a few months then I might even be able to buy one. I also want AMD to do well, since it's better for the consumer. It would mean competitive prices. Maybe they are just being sneaky and letting nVidia pull the first move before unleashing the 390x afterwards, to which nVidia can't retaliate besides a price drop. Tortoise beats the hare? Not a fan of either company by the way, just trying to be a smart consumer is all.

Yum!
