If people think real world benchmarks of the new cards won't be as favourable as the presentation would have us believe, now might be a good time to take a gamble and snap up a 980 TI on the cheap from a panicking owner.

Holding onto my babies until true benchmarks are revealed. Hopefully one showing a clocked 980Ti and clocked 1080.

Rather than the likely clocked 1080 and stock 980Ti :p

No, the claim relating to VR was that the 1080 was 2x faster than a Titan X in some VR scenarios.

The faster than 980 sli performance was related to actual gaming performance for the 1080. Why does this seem so outlandish to you? 2540 pascal cores at 1733mhz boost with GDDR5X, 9 Tflops compared with 2048 Maxwell cores with a 1216mhz and standard gddr5 boost clock and 5 Tflops. It sounds spot on to me.

It was also said that the 1070 would be faster than the Titan X. This makes sense looking at the Tflop rating ( all we have at the moment)

Well, is that standard version to standard version? Or is it founder version to standard version? What settings used in game? If the 1080 is 60% faster than the 980, that makes it about 10-15% faster than the 980Ti? Will the 1070 be only 10% slower than the 1080??

It's a new architecture, so I am not sure you can just pick the Tflop figures and base performance upon them.

We have all seen numbers from launches before and they haven't always been the reality. Surely you both can admit that these performances numbers are best case numbers and that usually the performance in the real world comes in lower?
But, my other point still stands. These numbers

The 980Ti is only ~30% faster than a 980 so your figures are skewed

seriously, who would buy a 980ti now? even if the 1070 is slightly slower it's still better value if it comes in at £300. Better power efficiency, better for VR and many other advantages.

Plus, with driver improvements down the line, the 1070/1080 will only improve.

Only the uninformed would buy a 980Ti now. I definitely wouldn't pay more than £250 for one.

On another note, does anybody else type 1080p automatically and keep having to delete the p? :p :D

They will drop to £200 as soon as the Pascal arrives, in what 3 weeks?

Until then, only very silly people will buy any GPU at all.

So not that silly in the grand scheme of things, just 980ti/titan owners not accepting that expensive GPU's loose value quickly.

It would do some people some good to put the shoe on the other foot for a minute - it can be argued that it's a bit dodgy trying to sell a 980ti today for £400+ when they won't be worth anything near that soon.

True, true.

£200 is not a stupid or insulting offer. Though as there is a few weeks to go I would say £250 might be a better offer right now.

But to be fair once 1070 is here, who in their right mind would pay more than £200 for a second hand 980Ti?
 
I'm tempted to offer something in the region of £250-300 for it, but I know come GTX1070 release i'd regret it. I do like the STRIX though, it's a brilliant cooler.

Vega will be 14nm - I won't be betting on Volta being on 16nm.

IIRC the amount of FLOPS called for by the Oak Ridge project requires a 10nm-class node.

So long as they get at least 1 die back every few wafers they can supply a supercomputer in late 2017 if TSMC ramp on time.

Would definitely regret it if you paid that kind of money. Everyone will have their brand new shiny toy, and you will feel buyers remorse.

Get a 1070 I would ....it's slower than a 980ti lol...

You lot amaze me with your hyped performance imaginations when no clear benchies are out...

:D

Ah, well, I thought it was around 50% faster especially as you move up in resolution.

If that's the case than that puts the 1080 at around 30% faster in a best case scenario. 1070 about 10% faster? maybe.

We shall see I guess.

Someone just price checked a 290 in MM for 140 no way is a 980ti worth 200

That may be the case today. Won't be the case in a few weeks time however ;)

And you know this how? First telling people not to wait and to buy 980Ti's with a node shink around the corner, now this? :o

Hey, I may be young, but from what I can see I have a lot more sense than you do :p
