Poll: Who will be getting a 1080Ti?

[mahius]

Those of us who have 144/165hz 1440p monitors and love staying well above 90fps in hectic 60 player matches of Bf1 operations will give the Ti a good work out I can assure you!

Pretty much my reason for wanting a Ti or Vega (I'm waiting for Vega before choosing). I want a GPU that will make the most out of my 1440p144Hz monitor. I would prefer AMD because I have FreeSync, but then there's kinda no point there, since the FreeSync range is 40-90 and I'm perfectly fine without it right now on my 970.

...However I hear that with CRU, I can mod the FreeSync range to a max of 144Hz. But that will only be worth it if Vega could beat the 1080ti and give me 90+ fps at 1440p.

I'm going to wait 3 or 4 months. See if there are a any better deals on the 1080Ti by then. And I'm interested in seeing what AMD bring to the table first.

Exactly, this person gets it. Worst case scenario, it will be a repeat of 2015 all over again, where I waited for 300 series and at release, it wasn't a better choice over a 970. I would like to buy an AMD card this time, but upgrades are required, so I may have to go with this 1080ti if Vega isn't up to snuff.

Interesting poll results, people inteding to buy is only slightly more than people not buying and both are eclipsed by people intending to wait and see Vega first.

32.7% is still a large percentage for a card that's going to be a minimum of £699. If Vega doesn't deliver then the % will skyrocket.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Question:
If I can get a GTX1080 for under £500, would you consider it a worthwhile upgrade from a 980Ti?

Currently thinking no. But open to persuasion.

Yep if Vega is fail, a large portion of those waiting to see will just buy Nvidia..

a lot of us are on Freesync screens, and some of us are running 1070 or even 1080 and will be happy for similar performance at a lower price point however, not everyone wants to have the top of the top end cards or the lower end, some of us are happy in the middle

No point.

I've got a titan XP.

Not sure what has happened to used 980ti pricing with the drop to 1070's but you can probably pick up a used 1080 with 2+ years warranty remaining for £400 soon enough, so it'll cost you around £150 imo if you go that route. Selling the 980ti and buying a 1080 brand new probably isn't worth it.

I went from 980Ti to 1080 and noticed an improvement (2560x1080), I sold my 980Ti for £270 and bought the 1080 for £450

Yep. If Vega fails, I will certainly go Volta, no doubt about it. In a way if that happens I would just keep my current 4K monitor for even longer as it does not have freesync or g-sync so it will work out even cheaper. Lol. I went through the period where I had the upgrade itch with my monitor, but that has gone now as I am really happy with it. Better than any other monitor I have tried image quality wise.

With all the architectural changes Vega is brining, coupled with it being designed from the ground up to make full use of hbm2, no one quite really knows what performance it will deliver. I am as always very optimistic.

Hype? Credit cards at the ready.

So 4pm?

Hope that's on OCUK as well!

Even if OCUK can't sell at 4pm I'd rather wait and purchase from here, don't nVidia use some weird company for delivery that a few have had issues with?

Having made this move myself I'd say it depends on the respective boost clocks. My 980Ti (strix) boosted to 1400+ out of the box, I can barely get my current 1080 to hold steady at 1930. This gives a performance improvement of around 20% depending on the game.

Lower clocked 980Ti to a respectably clocking 1080 would be worth it if you can sell for the right price, but the 1080Ti will give a much larger increase although of course at a higher price.

If it's the same place in Ireland as the TXP then from what I remember you never get a shipped email and it just turns up within 3 days.

 

[Chipper500]

nope, im locked into freesync now and with nvidia showing no signs of supporting it then vega will be my only option s;lower or not

This is me too unfortunately

 

[X-Mikuru_Beam-X]

Meh. 3440x1440p 21:9 @ 100hz is where it is at which is what I am using.

Point I am making is I want some fresh material to use this card on. When ever I buy a new GPU there never seems to be anything new to try out on it and I am left replaying my current games on higher settings or more frames. New demanding games for a new GPU top end would be perfect.

Fair enough!

Me I'm a Battlefield wh*** and its all I play everyday!

I'll be waiting to order from here, never had any issues (unlike elsewhere..). Hopefully Gibbo will be allowed to speak soon

Not buying it because of the 11gb. Can't be dealing with prime numbers appearing in my computer hardware. Waiting for a nice square number like 16gb.

I made that move from a 980ti that does 1500 to a 1080 that does 2000. The difference in actual performance has been around 15%. You will see a far better boost with a 1080ti (obviously).

Personally, I upgrade when budget allows so I'm the wrong person to ask if it's worth it, but I thought you might find the performance figures helpful to your decision.

reminds me of my good ol' days when I used to have 3mb of memory, then 5mb which allowed me to run games which specifically required 8 mb of ram
