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

Yup, if only to avoid nVidia's active 'downgrade' program ;)

Tbh if the next Titan is 2x the performance of the current Ti then I probably will. Playing with a 40in 4k panel at present (bought for Bro, doesn't need it til next weekend) and I'll be needing the horsepower.... :o

I certainly wont be buying the Titan version again. I will wait a month or 2 and get the Ti. Although tbh, I might skip a generation. Not gaming so much just now although that may change when Oculus is released.
 
Will people seriously buy Pascal with No ASYNCHRONOUS compute?
I mean if it does turn out that games will be programmed using it and 20% improvement can be had with GPU's that have hardware based ASYNC would it not be silly to invest in Pascal?
If you are an Nvidia fan you might as hold on to what you got for a while.

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.

That's not technically right though because your card never runs at the base speed, Don't the Nvidia cards boost so although it has stock clock of say 1000 mhz it actually runs at 1300 or so? meaning the real world difference between what fps you get between a stock clock card and an overclocked card isn't usually 60%, 50% or even 40%.
 
dont worry nvidia knows how to force their users to change the GPU, usualy drop the ball on the driver for the old gen and focuses on the new line up, especialy if they make a significant architectural change, and benchs will show that, few months in most 1070/fury/polaris10 will beat it, or catch up to it.
been there seen that
 
Think it will depend on how big the jump is for many owners. With such a high market share Nvidia will probably need existing customers to upgrade especially if they want growth from the graphics card business. I wouldn't be surprised if even the early cards offer a very good jump in performance this time around.
Only have a 730 myself and will be looking to buy something at some point. Not much time for gaming but might pick up an early card and stuff it in my machine ready for when I do, or wait until I have more time and buy then.

I half expect that by this time next year the 390x will be on par with my 980ti in most new games :p
 
I would need a minimum of a 1080ti as a worthwhile upgrade and given I doubt that would cover 4K ultra 60fps adequately as a standalone card it's unlikely I'll upgrade.
 
considering I sold my 980 Ti classified only a few weeks ago for £500 in which I paid £580 for it BUT got 4 games free, dying light, metal gear solid v, the witcher 3 and batman arkham origins I've practically broke even so if the 1080 comes out at less than £500 I've got an upgrade for free (y) play the market right and you wont lose :D
 
Nah. I bagged my first 980ti for £480 new on Black Friday. After getting the x34 monitor I picked up another for £480 to go SLI. Well happy with that, and the new mid range cards are looking underwhelming as I thought they would.

But you don't have anything to upgrade to...:p

Mid range Pascal....Waste of money if you already have a Ti
 
I'm way down the food chain. Hoping to either pick up a 1060 ti or be the beneficiary of someone off-loading their 970.

Value is entirely subjective. I already have £1017 back from my 980ti's and had them since launch, so lost £80 on owning them. More than happy to get a 1080 to tide ne over till big pascal.

Whenever I've gone the upgrade every gen route its cost me very little to upgrade so I think I'll be heading that route from now on.
