I'll never believe what WCCFtech has to say ever!
Yeah, the only way they survive is because they let the most idiotic internet crowd wreck havoc in comment section. If they started moderating the comments, the site would die out and be just like any other useless rumour/made up story site. And they know that.

They list the 980 replacement as having a lower clockspeed than the TitanX replacement, they are having a laugh.
Kaap, we don't know how 16nm process clocks with nvidia sized dies, though more than 1025Mhz should be possible easily, but we never know.
At the end of the day, all of their news are just echo chamber, or some slim pickings from various forums or just pure guess/BS.

If those specs are true, then seriously wtf?! WOW!
However, it seems so farfetched and looks made up.
Got to love the rumours and "leaks"

I bet Nvidia has put out these leaks. They don't want anyone to know the real specs before release.
If they done it, |I am sorry for them. Normal behaviour would be just not release any info, instead of creating fake one which look like they were made by 5 year old

They know everyone will look at the shipping lists. Why not put up fake lists to throw people off. I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Just how close are we to any 980Ti replacements i wonder? Seems the sale on current 980Ti`s may be a coincidence but could it be a sign of new gpu arrivals?
Bandwidth isn't a massive issue even with Pascal and probably largely with Polaris as well - infact from what people have seen it seems that a scenario with lesser base bandwidth but potentially allows for higher VRAM clock speeds is more beneficial than raw bandwidth as things stand with HBM at the moment.
Have to admit what I know about Pascal had superimposed itself over what I'd read on HBM2 and it never occurred to me to check what I was posting even though I knew better if I stopped to think about it - somehow my brain had mixed up information on the GPUs with the actual realities of HBM2 development and I'd never noticed.
At the end of the day it might be a moot point anyhow for other reasons.
This isn't the sale... in 2012 they were clearing out 680 Power Editions (one step down from MSI Lightning) for like £200 a pop. You'll know when the clearout is on.
Anyone still got theirs btw?

Would be better to just buy a pair of cheap 980Ti on the 2nd hand market

So what's the latests? any worthwhile news on Pascal?
Would be a good choice but if the extra compute and async things are on them it would be a safer bet to get the 1070s
