I was guesstimating. 35% at least imo

Will you be ditching your 980 TI\TX for Pascal?

If you look in the 980ti thread you will see loads of people hit 1500 on the core, its not uncommon with these, but believe what you like.

Managed to get 1480 stable on mine but I am not using the volts bar the whole way up like you.

I know mate seen your card the other day, ace these MSI cards.

Forgot about your massive experience with graphics card generally
I've had both stock Ti and aftermarket, it's a big jump!
You serious??? Pascal is on 14/16nm vs 28nm - they'll have double the core count, plus HBM2 - which will not only be quicker, but also use less power, so they can put more cores on same card.
Only issue I see is whether they've fixed poor async for DX12/Vulkan

Pascal is rumoured not to have it, due to being a derivative of Maxwell. Hopefully they're wrong
Same here, I'm not bothering with minor 15-30% upgrades, 50% is the minimum and if I can get a good price for my 980Ti at the time otherwise will be keeping it till we see a larger gap and when games require such an upgrade. Also we need to wait and see what Pascal really has to offer in the big form not the mid range cards they are now branding as 70/80's.
Sandybridge was 32nm and Skylake is 14nm... what a huge performance jump we got there too
... Just going by your logic. Power saving is dependent on how many transistors they will try to pack into the die (we really don't know they are double the core count yet), but yes power per transistor will of course come down, but history is showing us like with CPUs performance is not going up much. We just have to wait and see. But my gut feeling is telling me we are all hoping for something that will not appear as we did with CPUs.

You might get up to 1500 on the core which is nearly a 40% increase over stock clocks, but that's not a linear 40% improvement in speed. More like 10-15%

Pascal Ti possibly, newer games coming out are taking full advantage of even the 980Ti at 1080p. So when the new cards come out I'll see if any new games i want to run well are around.
Big one for me is Source 2 performance, but who the hell knows when games built on that engine are coming. Been fed up of waiting.

Will I ditch maxwell for pascal, Your darn right I will! 28nm has been here far too long. Time to say goodbye.

Well my last card was 290x lightning and I waited a good two years before upgrading so I will wait 2 years before the jump , It won't be a massive step up anyway it never is!

If that's true there going to be forcing game dev's to not use it holding back the development. How is that a good thing? How can you want such a company in control of the PC graphics industry?

Nope - my 980ti is golden, so I'll hang onto it a while - prob wait until gen after Pascal.
Depends on what you're measuring. If your comparing base clock to max boost clock, mine is 60% oc'd.

depends how the benches fair but if the new titan looks promising with hbm2 then im all in. Just wish amd could compete more because its a bit of a **** take when a 1k card is outdated in a year , we all know soon as pascal is out maxwel performance will drop.
One thing i will not consider is any cut down chip after the fiasco with 970 , im not getting caught out again like that :/

I fell for the GTX 680, then got the GTX 980 only to have the Titan X drop 2 weeks later haha.
I will be probably upgrade my 980Ti to its same equivalent, whenever it gets released.
I don't expect that to be, till the last quarter of 2016, and I will probably go hybrid as well.
By that time, I would have had 12-15 months of fun\usage, out of my 980Ti by then.
