You're purposefully overplaying the 'hype' in order to justify your 'disappointment'.

Hardly anybody was claiming it was going to be an 'amazing world changing super GPU'.

I cannot believe anyone would want to swap their 980Ti for this card after the reviews. There's a small boost in performance, but not enough to warrent an upgrade.

The 1080Ti/TX on the other hand with the new memory is going to be very interesting. It'll be the first real 4K gaming card, think Volta will be the best time to upgrade though.

I will upgrade to it 10-30% is more than enough and extra bonus on VR too. #takemymoney

Depends on which reviews you cherry pick, most others have it 20 to 30% faster than a 980TI.

TPU make a big thing about it being 13% faster with an 11% overclock, so from 100% they are getting 120%, right....

Again most others say about 5% to <15% from a 15% overclock

Compared to some older 980TI overclocked benchmarks there is only a sub 5% difference and the 1080 doesn't clock anything like as well as the 980TI.

Reviewers and enthusiasts a like will take from all this what they want.

The facts are its not a all clear cut thats its this amazing world changing super GPU that all the hype is about.
Really its just a typical upstep in performance, and actually a bit 'meh' considering its 16nm vs 28nm, and then there's the price, very much inline with all the hype, only the hype is not warranted, not by a long shot.

Stock for stock it is 30% - 40% faster.

Comparing it to maximum overclocked custom 980Ti's is a bit unfair at this stage in my opinion (ie comparing a reference 1080 with a single pin connector to a G1 980Ti).

It is hardly that brilliant that a custom 980Ti could possibly (if you win the silicon lottery) have its neck rung out to get a bit close to a reference 1080. Also, it will use loads more power, and it is guaranteed.

Can anyone make predictions on what loss would be made if I were to buy an AIB 1080 and sell it once 1080Ti is announced? I know we don't know anything about 1080Ti, but I guess we could estimate the performance jump & price based on the 980-980Ti?

I bought my 970 for £300 and sold it today for £200, so a £100 loss that I don't mind. Just struggling to come to terms with the fact that we may have a 980/980Ti situation with this gen and I'll be left with a 1080 that plummets in price :confused:

Just get a 1070 if you're worried about money

Did you watch the Nvidia conference? The hype was huge and Jen tried to trick some into twice the performance of Titan X. Some people here actually believed it and more importantly some of my friends who are not non hardware fans were stating this until i put them straight. Big up to Nvidia and Jen as the message got through. Great advertising full stop.

People are stupid if they thought it was going to be twice the performance of a Titan X

If you listened, NVidia said for relative gaming performance it was in the 980 sli range...which is bang on the money. In fact if anything I think they have slightly underplayed the gaming performance.

i duno jenhsun did say "twice as fast as a titan-x" over and over right at the end but i guess he was just a bit excited after trolling the audience it runs at 65c :)

We will soon find from people here what the 1080 is capable of.

A couple of people on here with 980TI's who i trust not to go begging Nvidia for free stuff 'link to form post attached'

Its them who i wait to see what they make of it.

The amount of times Jen stated twice the speed of Titan X would confuse anybody not paying attention to hardware. Clock up a 980ti to decent levels and this card while faster is not what people wanted from the node shrink. It's pretty much the worst node shrink i have witnessed.
 
i am sure they only stated 2-3x the performance of the titanx when using Single pass rendering and Simultaneous multi projection in VR.
