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 :)

The problem with the price is that people will pay it, then the next big release will have a Founders Turbo 1080ti, which will have the price jacked up $150. Then when a few idiots pay for that, the next gen cards you'll get a 1180 Founders Black Turbo XXX edition and they'll jack the price up $200.

Companies would be stupid to not just ask for more money, at worst, no one buys and they drop prices back to 'normal' and people buy. The problem is customers, if you always pay what they ask, they'll keep asking for more. Customers feel like they have to buy instantly and pay whatever they are asked. No, that is stupid, the consumer has 100% of the power. Refuse to pay the price and they'll drop them.

Use your power, refuse to pay the $100 and not only will they drop the prices quicker, the next card they'll not add the $100 on in the first place because their customers already told them where to stick it. Paying now isn't just being lubed up for this one, you're actively screaming at them to jack the prices up again and again until the consumer tells them to stop.

Great explanation but i was referring to the image that was posted before ...its was great it just needed an photo of the 1080 to the right of the guys arse ...

I have no intention of buying a 1080 for £630 i am happy to have snatched a gigabyte g1 980 ti for £325 ....
 
I want to see best 1080 vs best 980Ti both maximum overclock possible then measure framerate and exact power draw

If they left as much headroom as the maxwell, I wonder if the perf would have been equal to 980Ti ? everyone was saying how it 'needs to be better than previous flagship' since thats always the case, maybe they pushed these so hard that they ended up with an overclockers dream
 
Surprise surprise the cards are as good as NVIDIA said they would be.

The naysayers are once again defeated. So much for self-proclaimed e-experts.

from the toms hardware review, it peaks at 280 watt or so under its normal boost and 'averages' around 180 watt.

What's the 1080Ti going to be at this rate £770? This is bad times for my wallet lol.

I'll try resist the 1080. I'll fail. Probably quite miserably.

Want to see some water cooled OC results. Apparently stock bios has 120% power limit. Over the 98% EK showed.

they wont be priced that high, this is just a temporary gouge in order to clear 980ti inventory without making a loss. Once the 980ti inventory is cleared out and we get closer to an AMD response, the prices will normalise.
 
All in all then, this is a fairly standard 30% update over last gen. 980ti owners won't look twice, but anyone who skipped last gen will be very interested, particularly in what 1070 has to offer. That could be a wicked card.

One thing that bothers me is the price increase, and all that founders edition nonsense.
 
something that would not surprise me is if 1070's have a far greater availability at launch compared to the 1080's. considering the troubles they are having with GP100.

Nvidia (well, Jen) have already publicly stated that yields are good and they are in full production for the 1070 and 1080.
