Sush nvidia may take that and use for marketing... The new improved PASCAL UN-SHRUNK
I would get excited about 'labels' it's the fastest gpu money can almost buy.

Looks like nVidia are mobilising to counter Polaris alright!!
I agree I was just bored and there was about 1000 pages of people arguing / discussing if this was mid range or high end.
It is a midrange part but is better than the 980 for example, and will be the fastest available for a while. would be my answer.
So is the current 1080 expected to fall markedly in price or will this 1080Ti be priced up near the £900 mark like the TitanX? Because I don't expect Polaris to be anywhere near those price levels. Or did I misunderstand the article?

When is the 1080 Ti coming out?
I'm deciding whether to buy 2 1080s...

6-9 months. I'm in the same boat
How long before the 1080 ti? I don't think I can bring myself to getting a 1080 now
Why? There's nothing new here, we knew it was pretty much guaranteed a 1080Ti will be released.
The timescale is still bound to be 6-12 months from now.
I think I may settle for a 1070 or maybe even Polaris and then sell on for a 1080Ti.

What? there is nothing on that hype slide?
I give you 70KIUN96, bet you weren't expecting that?
Yeah I think I might get 2 x 1070 and have a play with sli.

Something tells me the 1080 Ti won't be released in 2016...
That timescale is really an issue though, isn't it?
I feel like not enough people are talking about it. The difference between 6 and 12 months is pretty huge.
And this goes for AMD, too.
Vega doesn't look likely until Q1 2017. I'd expect the same for the 1080Ti. If the Ti uses HBM2 perhaps even after Vega as I'd imagine AMD would get first picks on that.
However, I also believed Polaris would be months ahead of Pascal so it's all just speculation at this point.
Ultimately if you can afford to wait for a price drop or new cards then do it. If you need the performance now/soon then go for the 1080/1070.

Yeah it's definitely an issue. We as consumers must decide if it's worth the wait or not, for us personally.
I personally don't have a choice since I sold my 970 as it wasn't performing adequately for my 1440p monitor, so now I have to pick a card around mid June sometime, despite the fact that the 1080Ti is the long term card I wanted to settle on
Nvidia is getting HbM2 from samsung who are ahead of Hynix in production who are supplying AMD, which is why Nvidia have already demonstrated HBM2 GPUs and will be shipping them soon enough.
Once the 1080ti is released then you have the same question, when is the 1180 going to appear 6-12 months later
