*Rumour* 1070 Ti (Videocardz.com)

The 1070TI is very much a 'why?'
GTX 1070: £400 (100% performance)
GTX 1070TI: £450 (110% performance)
GTX 1080: £500 (120% performance)
I think nVidia's reasoning is that more GPU's to the lineup so more GPU's to sell so more people buy.
No. for a start its the wrong TI, the 1070 is already close enough to the 1080, an extra £50 to get another 10% and completely bloat the same performance bracket isn't going to sell more GPU's for them.
the 1060 needs a TI, its only 60% the performance of the 1070, thats a gap crying out to be pluged, the 1070 > 1070TI > 1080 are all pretty much the same performance.

Exactly, there's no card at the £300-350 bracket which I personally always considered the sweet spot. To go straight from the 1060 6gb to the 1070 is crazy in price terms, then having 4 cards all priced above £400???
Oh well, even if the 1070 isn't officially reduced, I would imagine there would have to be some better offers around to get rid of stock assuming production isn't stopped.
It is not like the people working over there do not know this though is it? They are simply selling of failed 1080's instead of dumping them, simple as that.
Right. We'll see.
FFS.........
PC gaming sector (aka GPUs) really is a ******* joke now.
Been some amazing PS 4 pro deals lately, there can only be even better deals come black friday, think that will be the day I call it quits on PC gaming, just not worth it now.

Yeah 1060's start at £180ish and 1070's start at £350ish nearly double the price.
Takes the micky.

Xbox One X surely the way to go though? Or are you after the exclusives
Exclusives mainly, that and should I want to play anything on PC which is xbox only, chances are, my PC will still provide a better experience than consoles.

The origin of "Ti" traced back to Geforce 2 generation had 1 Ti card called Geforce 2 Ti. Geforce 3 generation had 2 Ti cards called Geforce 3 Ti 200 and Geforce 3 Ti 500. Geforce 4 generation had 5 Ti cards called Geforce 4 Ti 4200, Geforce 4 Ti 4400, Geforce 4 Ti 4600, Geforce 4 Ti 4800SE and Geforce 4 Ti 4800.
Ti stand for Titanium.

Thank you! So they're not quite as exclusive as the last few years had lead me to believe!

You do realise, that Gibbo's comment didn't confirm that the Ti wouldn't be the same price as the normal 1070, just that the 1070 price won't change. The likely reason is that the 1070 is going EOL soon.
And your post has taught me you do not know how historically cards are marketed
It typically goes 100 series and 1000 series.
Why would it jump from 10 to 20? There was the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000.
Surely the next cards are 1100?
They should be, but nvidia could call them anything

Still nothing to upgrade to from my 980Ti that gives value and performance. Has proved to be a great buy but I think it says more about the drip feeding by Nvidia and spiralling costs of graphics cards, not to mention the end of Amd as the people's champion. The Xbox One X looks to be the way to go for gaming though at £449 I would say its £50 plus too much. Sad days indeed.
Hmm, I don't remember a GeForce 2 Ti. I remember the Ultra's were the flagship.
"The GeForce 2 family comprised a number of models: GeForce 2 GTS, GeForce 2 Pro, GeForce 2 Ultra, GeForce 2 Ti, GeForce 2 Go and the GeForce 2 MX series."
I do remember GeForce 3 Ti 200 and 500.
