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

I don't see how lower offers are derisory when we know in a few weeks faster cheaper cards are coming. It's a bit dodgy to try and palm off the older tech at a high price. should have tried to palm it off before the reveal.

An offer of 300 maybe but 200 inc of postage is taking the mick.

Assuming the 1080 is the same as the leaked firestrike result...

The 8% overclocked 1080 (1860 vs 1733 stock) scores 10100 points (graphics score)...

An overclocked 980ti scores about 9200 points.

Add another 10% to the 1080 score for what would be a 2.05Ghz overclock on the 1080, that would be ~11000 points.

So overall in 3Dmark score vs the 980ti 9200 vs 11100

So probably around 15-20%

I will definitely be upgrading to the 1080. Even if the stock performance only turns out 20-30% better it's the VR gains that I am excited about. The 10xx series are going to be considerably better for VR thanks to the new way in which they render it. A 2 fold plus increase in VR performance will be worth every penny over the current 980ti and Titan X. Biased Vive owner here.
 
I'm going to wait until 2018 with my 980Ti SLi, I am enjoying 4k gaming and not had any problems so far. No interest in VR for now.

Looking at their roadmap, looks like they were not lying about Pascal, so I think in 2018 Volta will be the logical next step for me.

Does look like there are a lot of improvement for VR but I am currently more interested in normal gaming.
 
most of the performance boasts were related to VR? It was 2am+ so I could very well have misunderstood it, but thats what I took from it.

Selling a Ti or TX before benchmarks is madness, a company hypes its products, then we get to see them in the real world and they are never as good as promised (watch dogs, ps4/3/2 etc etc)

Agree
 
Haha, the GTX 980Ti is soon to become old tech, I say 'old tech', because Easyrider has used those words in the past when it comes to old graphics cards.

GTX 1070 is going to be around £270 + supply and demand tax, so call it £350, I wouldn't want to pay more than £200 for a 980Ti. I'll be selling my GTX 980 off for a lot less!

But the 1070 is slower than the 980ti...

Faster than a Titan X! Then add on overclocking... sorry to say the 980 series is now obselete old tech! The prices are going to drop like a bad habit!
