Then get an x34 and oops
my 980ti is struggling to maintain 100fps -

*fingers crossed 1080ti can hold 1440p90+ on most games*
The 970 is in the sweet spot for being excellent at maxing games out at 1080p and getting 60fps. But it's nowhere near overkill, nor is it able to do so for every game. Sometimes a terribly optimised game like Homefront: The Revolution comes along and reminds us that we still depend on the developers to make well optimised games.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the 1080 in the long run. After all, it is the first 16nm GPU from Nvidia. I wouln'dt be surprised if they were purposely holding back more powerful chips to release later on down the line, just so they can milk folks with the current ~20-30% improvements first. I bet 1080ti will release when AMD relweases something more powerful than a 1080.
Like when ?
I'm not waiting...no point....everyone is talking about a card that doesn't even exist...ill get a ti when it's out...
I've got 400 from the sale of my 980ti looking at putting 150 towards a 1080 not FE edition...
I'll then sell the 1080 when or if the 1080ti hits...but then wait...the 1180 might be coming out ....I could wait for that...but what if I waited for the 1180 ti instead....then hang on a sec...if I wait for the 1180 ti then the 1190 might be coming out...then I guess I would better be waiting for the 1190ti but hang on a sec what if the 1200 is released shortly after...one sec I would then be better waiting for the 1200 ti wouldn't I ?
I'm so confused .....
Help

Its already 20-30% faster at 2050mhz vs 1440 (Ti). 2.2-2.3ghz+ will see another 10%.
haha. I'm planning the same as you (though I'm a student and have less money probably, this is pretty much my hobby so **** it
) although when I get the 1080Ti it'll be sticking around for at least two, maybe three years. I think the only sensible upgrade after a 1080Ti is when I want to go from 1440p to 4k, and by the time that happens I'm hoping OLED monitors won't cost an arm and a leg!
The reality is that most people wait until the upgrade is a decent jump - AND - said significant jump is within their budget.
1080 is 20% faster? Most wait.
1080ti is 40% faster? Most buy, some wait.
1180 is 60% faster? Those that didn't upgrade last time do so now.
It's not rocket science.
The one time people should absolutely wait is if there's a new GPU coming in the next month or so, which will significantly increase the perf you get from whatever budget you have in mind.
Because if it's a case of waiting a few weeks to get 30% more for your money than the current EOL cards, most sane people will find a way to restrain themselves
So to sum up for you easy:
Wait if:
a) The new gen of cards isn't what you consider a significant jump
b) You're mere weeks away from a much better deal
-and-
c) You are not part of the "money is no object" fraternity.
It's not rocket science!
For sure there milking us they have been doing for so long now & like i said before they have now mastered how to freeze dry it and compress the milk smaller now....
I was going to do the same but i very much doubt the good 1080 customs are even going to be cheaper than the nvidia founder priced buffered boards ...I will know on the 27th or near that if this whole founders thing is indeed a nvidia price buffer for the rest of the partners to come in mighty high..
will see ?

Dude I was taking the ****
Going by this thread the gains can be from as little as 5%, yet everyone's jumping on the higher percentage bandwagon like its guaranteed.
Nope it's quicker then that !
What, just like a 1500mhz overclock suddenly seems to be guaranteed on all 980Ti's and Titan X's....
Same can be said for the max overclocks on 980 Ti's and Titan X's that people are comparing the stock ref 1080 to...
All of a sudden everyone who couldn't get 1500mhz stable when they first got their 980ti s can suddenly all get 1500mhz meaning an upgrade is not needed
It sure seems that way
Funny that

Yeah it's like their 980ti have awoken from sleep , gained some new hidden special powers
5% with the 1080 being at 1600-1650 base clock. Reasonable OC of about 2-2.1ghz it is 20-30% faster. AIB cards, pascal drivers will only increase that percentage.

Neither of my Titan-X's will get anywhere near 1500Mhz
