I was arguing with a user from here about the Pascal graphic cards and it turned out into a fight about VR. Therefore, I would like to ask of as many of you as possible.

1. Do you care about VR? Do you have it (considering to buy it) or you don't want one at all for the time being?

2. Do you think the Pascal is a good improvement over the Maxwell generation? (please consider the 1080 (the facts we know) not the future Ti or Titan).

3. You have a mid-tear maxwell or any older GPU, do you think it's worthy to pay ~£550 for the 1080 which has a clock speed of 1.6GHz and is able to OC to 2.1GHz (but not every one of them is able to reach that clock speed)?

4. You have a GTX980 Ti or Titan X which is about 20% slower than the 1080 when overclocked. Would you consider buying the Pascal right now with a 20% advantage, but you'd be able to sell your existing card for only £350 (=£200 loss)?

5. Please be objective. If the price of 1080 is £550 and when it's overclocked reaches +20% performance over 980 Ti ir Titan X. What do you think would be a price tag of 1080 Ti and the new Titan, when: Ti = +40 performance over 980 Ti OC + a big headroom for OC + HBM 2 12 GB memory.
Titan = + 45% performance over 980 Ti OC + a headroom for OC + HBM 2 16 GB memory.

6. Do you have a G-Sync monitor?

7. Would you ever consider buying an AMD GPU (if it's the performance of 1080, but -30% price) even though you have a G-Sync only monitor?

Thanks to all participants. Hopefully a lot of votes will be gathered and at the end I will be able to make some fancy graphs.
 
I can see the reason on why you wish to do this, but to be frank, until Pascal is actually launched and properly reviewed, any information at this point one should just be treated as rumor and anticipation only...I don't think people will be able to properly answer what you want to know, until the card is released.

I don't think it should be a problem as for most questions I have provided some scenarious (what if?) and it should be answered based on that info given. At the moment I am considering that 1080 OC is 20% faster than what the 980 Ti or Titan X can do, as it seems the opinion of some pessimistic people in the forum.
