Not falling for the Titan hype again. Will wait it out and get the slightly cut down Ti version with similar performance at 2/3 the price.
Maybe!
might not be a "slightly cut" down Ti this time around. It was due to AMD hyping up a big card aka fury x which turned out to be a flop compared to the hype (still a good card just didn't meet the hype) also hyping HMB was going to brind big things for the card. nVidia responded with a slightly cut down Titan x aka 980Ti because of this.
So unless AMD manage to release something that comes in close that can compete they may not do this again.

Don't think it was AMD who were hyping it up, it was hyped on here, the TX killer etc...

So you think that NVidia changed the amount of internal components they were going to 'cut' from the TitanX to make the 980ti, then shipped out all the chips, gave the AIB's time to assemble the cards, get it all packaged up and sent out to distrubitors and then on to the retailors, three weeks before the FuryX was even officially announced. I don't think so somehow, changing the internal configuration of a chip takes time, the only thing that might happen really late in the production cycle is bios adjustments, to change the clock frequencies, memory timings or power allowances etc.

Massive shader count probably put the willies up nVidia, just a shame they were the ****e kind

yea based on what AMD was telling us about the card and how great it was going to be.

Yer lol
I still feel we won't see Big Pascal for some time and the same for Polaris but what interests me more about Pascal is Async and will NVidia be handling it at hardware level this time? I can see this being of great importance on my purchasing decision.

What's the consensus on what will get released first? Will we get something that equals 980ti performance but at a saner price level? Maybe something like a 1070?
I'm sorely tempted with a 980ti now but half of me is saying wait for something of similar speed but less cost.

I'll likely wait for the big Pascal cards, whatever replaces the 980ti. Polaris isn't really an option as it would likely mean a new monitor too. I couldn't do without gsync/freesync now.
You could end up waiting until this time next year. Not saying WILL just might.

Yep, could be the case. Tbh I'm not doing much gaming at the moment so the 980ti will tide me over.

How's that??
Unless you simply mean you'd WANT a new monitor with the DP 1.3 connection... assuming any such monitors are then available, which they likely won't be until later this year. But DP 1.3 is backwards compatible with 1.2 anyway, so it certainly wouldn't be a requirement.
