Don't forget, not only we jumping two processes, we are getting a brand new architecture also, plus hbm2 to boot. This better be good! Anything less than double is fail.
My uneducated guess is that they'll release for the 970 market first, that's where all the money is (proven by 970 sales) with enthusiast parts to come later, or probably mirror the 980 scenario where people think they're buying the top card only for the Titan and Ti to follow.
I think they have two very different markets now and the product line has to accommodate for this - you have the bread and butter gamers who probably top out at a 970/980 level, these cards have to be marketed as the top end of real world gaming so they appeal.
Then they have to market cards like the Titan and Ti towards the enthusiasts/benchers/nutters so that the 970/980 crowd don't feel let down, if Nv marketed the full fat cards at out-and-out gamers then they'd pull the rug out from under their own bread and butter customers who buy *70 cards by the Chinese shipping container load.
The 28nm to 16nm drop in node is far far closer to the 40nm to 28nm drop than 55/65 > 28nm.
I wish pascal was coming out before Christmas. Moneys burning a hole in my pocket.
I want to upgrade my monitor but it seems pointless at the moment - need moar powerful GPU for satisfactory performance.

Isn't this always the case, though? The highest available resolution always seems just out of reach for all single-card solutions. Then, when a card finally arrives that can provide excellent framerates along with the quality settings we all love there is a new, vastly larger resolution on the scene that restarts the process!
The end is in sight.
Then holographic screens come along.![]()
Ya am fully expecting the new midrange to beat the current high end. Problem will lie in whether AMD / Nvidia sell us the new 'midrange' as the high end, and do a round of milking before the actual high end cards get launched.
I for one won't be falling for that trap again!![]()

Same, Not going to be getting the 980 GM204 type pascal, Give me the near full fat Ti![]()
Hey, nothing wrong with 980's, I'm enjoying mine
Might consider a move when the Pascal '980Ti' equivalent is unveiled though. Hoping for more than 6GB of VRAM on it. 8 would be good.
