Why bother with Titans? Just get the ti's. Cheaper for the same performance.

He is talking about the Volta Titan which will obviously be a lot better than a 1080Ti.

If you read his message properly, then you suggesting he wait for Volta Ti is funny assuming it was a jokeYea. But I was referring to the VoltaTi.

But you have to wait like 9 months for a Ti to come after a Titan.
Had my XP since launch which seems like ages now. . .
Titans hold their money better too.

Sure. But I'd buy ti to ti. Much better value.
Realistically I'd buy ti skip a generation then buy the next.
But if you go from ti to ti your getting titan performance at a cheaper price.
You just reminded me of Forest Gump.
In your case:
That day, for no particular reason, I decided wait for Vega. So I waited for some news until the end of the week. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd wait until end of the month. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just wait until H1 2017. And I figured, since I waited this long, maybe I'd just wait until SIGGRAPH. And that's what I did. I waited for one whole year! For no particular reason I just kept on waiting. I waited like there is no tomorrow. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just keep on waiting for 14th August. When Vega finally came out, I figured, since I'd waited this long, I might as well just wait a bit more, keep right on waiting for Volta Titan! When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know... I went.
So volta wont be releasing to consumers anytime soon. Straight from jenson. Pascal is too strong. Sounds like a pascal refresh then.

Doesn't seem to rule out a Titan type card but at face value does seem to indicate no GeForce Volta this year. As I mentioned before some talk elsewhere of a 12Gbp/s GDDR5X update of Pascal.

Still say March 2018 at the latest, maybe by end of the year I'm expecting.
NV need to keep on developing for their other markets and customers so delaying a Volta consumer GPU because Pascal is strong I don't think will be the case otherwise we'll end up getting Volta towards the end of if's lifecycle. Makes sense to cash in on the Volta design. Right now NV could probably charge £1300+ for a Volta Titan as it'll be untouchable by the competition.
By the time I'm eligible for the members market I'll also be eligible for a free bus pass
cue the people saying its not a ridiculous requirement to get in.
mind you its not in ocuk's interest to make that section easy to access as could reduce their sales.
reading the posts it sounds likee you guys want to upgrade for the sake of upgrading.
Frequent hardware updates = bad for consumer
Infrequent hardware updates = good for consumer.
Also the higher the frequency the lower chance of a big performance jump. There is an argument e.g. if intel only updated 1/2 as often then the performance gap between each product would be doubled over what it is now.
I would love it if volta didnt come until 2020 as an example, as games would be made to run well on pascal for longer and I can feel good about having nvidia's latest chip for longer
Just how I am.

Well we don't like your kind around these ways. We buy a Titan X, then upgrade that to a 1080 and then upgrade that to a 1080Ti/New Titan again!
I see where you are coming from though. Depends on how much gaming one does or how much they enjoy new hardware. Horses for courses. No wrong or right way really. There are a few though who just have the best, but if that makes them happy, why not?
I think everyone enjoys new hardware in their rig including myself, sadly my wallet hates it tho.
Ironically I was impatient for pascal as I didnt like how well my gtx 970 ran, had to use a modded bios to stop crashes but it made it have aweful power efficiency, I couldnt justify buying another 970 to fix the problem, so the 1070 gave me an excuse to get rid.

I don't mind at all. I think the requirements are sensible. And I never buy secondhand PC parts any way..

I don't understand this "logic".
If a company updates on yearly cycle you (the consumer) can choose to update on a 2 yearly cycle. You just skip a generation.
If a company updates on a two-yearly cycle then you (the consumer) have no choice to update on a yearly cycle.
With more frequent updates people can choose to upgrade or not. It's not like anybody is holding a gun to your head saying "Achtung! You must update every time ze new gen comes along!"

Summed it up perfectly haha!
By the time the Ti is out, I'd have enjoyed months of top performance. Easily outweighs waiting even longer.
