Who's ditching 1080 for 2080? (11 series ) ?

would mean the faster card and moral high ground xD

Sorry, you can have one of those two but not both

/cue nvidia shovelling in money with both hands 24/7...

Nope. 1080 handles 1440p with ease.

If you love 60hz yes, Ti is needed to stretch a monitors 165hz legs.

I don't struggle to hit 144fps at 1440p with a lowly paupers 1070 under water.

For forum signature e-peen don't you know. You should be thankful for these types, they end up selling their perfectly fine, high spec cards for lower values, just to have their forum signature edited and be on the "roll of honour", so that the likes of you and I can come along and get a good upgrade for cheap It's a win for us. Let them take Nvidias length in one go.

Not possible at 1080p let alone 1440p.

Of course it's possible. It depends on the game.

Read their post, there is no qualification based on either game or game settings.

Yes, exactly. That fact doesn't go in your favour since you stated it wasn't possible to an open statement, it means that it isn't at all possible.

Yea yea, you win blah blah.

It's not that I win, it's that your statement went against your argument.

Tempted to go for the next series top end Ti card, 2080Ti?

Never had one, always gone for the x80. 580, 780, 980, 1080.. but might put the extra pennies in.

Well the 580 was the Titan of its time; the full unlocked Fermi GF110 core. The rest of the line up was cut down; GK110 (cut down), GM204, GP104. So in a sense you have had the Ti before.

I'd go for Ti if I were you; as they have decent life in them if the price is right.

Yep, wish I’d gone 980tis, now I’m down to one I’d have had a bit more grunt, may have even skipped 11 series.

Ti for me next time.

i have been steadily going up the range since the cards switched from the GTX at the end to the front of the name.

I went GTX 560, GTX 670, GTX 980 and i am now looking at GTX1080Ti.... unless i can stay strong and go for the next gen card... which given how tardy NV are being is looking less than likely.

I had the 980 briefly, and also a dead Titan X, and then snapped two 980Ti's the day the dropped. Sold one before the 1080 dropped and still using the 980Ti I got from launch day.
Next upgrade is a top end Titan or Ti again; depends on how desperate I am for that performance bump.

Well there's a next gen card out there right now, that when overclocked slightly edges SLI Titan X Pascals in 4K Farcry 5, the price however.

are you talking about the volta titan @ $3k? if so its too rich for me. i already have 1 kidney put aside for the next oculus rift CV2 when it eventually launches, and i need my other one for processing beer

Sounds like a plan!
I bit the bullet; but my goodness is Digital River slow at processing orders. They're in Ireland though so to be expected

Perfect_Chaos · 3 Apr 2018 at 13:26

Already sold my 1080Ti FE on eBay, my 980Ti does me good enough for what I'm playing.. Pointless having a card sitting there doing nothing too. Someone got a decent deal since it was an RMA return, so hardly used.

Waiting to see what the next Ti is like

WantoN · 3 Apr 2018 at 13:31

The one positive for me is the next ti should be a serious step up from a 980.
