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

Oh dear...

With Pascal/GP104 particulars out of the way, let’s talk about the cards themselves. “The new king” as NVIDIA affectionately calls it will be the GTX 1080, and will be their new flagship card. NVIDIA is promoting it as having better performance than both GTX 980 SLI and GTX Titan X. NVIDIA’s own performance marketing slides put the average at around 65% faster than GTX 980 and 20-25% faster than GTX Titan X/980 Ti, which is relatively consistent for a new NVIDIA GPU. Of course, real-world performance remains to be seen, and will vary from game to game.

I'm just looking forward to the 1080ti Hydrocopper to come.....I couldn't give a damn how much my 980ti is worth at that time, they aren't investments...they are like cars...I use them and then either sell them for a considerably lower value than I paid or pass them to my brother.....but going by the 1080 performance the 1080ti should be sexeh!

If the 1070 is faster than a titan X in VR (where half the screen is at lower resolution using their new technology), or something similar, then what he said is not a lie and it is legal for him to say that. It could be faster than a titan x, nobody has seen the reviews yet, but I do not think it will be.

I think performance in general gaming will be similar to Titan X. Titan X and 980Ti are similar 1-2% in terms of performance (in non VRAM limited scenarios) and the x70 series cards have always come in at around the same performance levels as the outgoing top tier (x80 or x80Ti).
 
Who buys a £500 GPU and expects it not to drop in value when a newer better card comes out for the same or less money.

I bought a 980ti in the release week and feel like I have got my moneys worth out of it. I can understand people feeling miffed if you bought one in the last month or so, but that's poor research.

I certainly won't be swapping it for a regular 1080, because, in my opinion, you need to be getting at least a 50% performance increase to feel like a noticeable upgrade. (I'm sure some people will say that they can tell the difference going from 60 fps to 70 fps, but to me it isn't worth it).

I have done some similar smaller sidegrades in the past, and been very "meh" about them afterwards and regretted the decision, I much prefer to do bigger upgrades these days where you actually think, WOW, this is noticeably better than my last card in this particular game.

People are just to weak...they then suffer from purchase justification complex...:p

Exactly. By the time the new Titan or Ti version comes out I'll have had 2 years of top quality gaming from my SLI Titan-X's.

If I don't see the need to upgrade to those (like I see no need to get a 1080) then I'll just carry on as I am.

Yeah they can...

Your point?

You seem to be getting a bit uptight about people trading a 980ti for a 1080. You yourself had your ti up for sale a few weeks ago but didnt take steps to secure the price you wanted, now prices have dropped even further youre having a tough time justifying trading your 980ti even though you obviously really want a 1080.

I was offered asking but chose to keep it...

I'm not fussed about losing a few hundred on a card...but a 25 % boost on a 16nm 256bit card is not really that exciting...

I'll wait for the 1080ti

Hell I might even get another 980ti and run sli until the 1080ti hits...

I'm running an x34 Gsync monitor I'll be eager to see how the 1080 copes over the 980ti running this res.

This is all I am interested in...if it's a massive upgrade I'll buy one...but I just don't see it...

Hardly...

I don't panick sell...and I don't fall under the new NV shiney spell...

If people are getting consistent 100fps on an x34 with a 1080 on max settings I'll bite...

Until I get the findings off others here with actual testing I'll wait...

It's as simple as that really.
 
Thing is, once the 1080Ti is available, we're that much closer to the HBM2 cards, and buyer remorse then is potentially going to be FAR greater than someone buying a 1080 in June and holding out for HBM2, vs someone buying 1080Ti and then a few months later wishing they'd have waited. It's all relative of course, but bottom line is if you want a 1080, buy one! It's going to be a stonking card. :)

I believe the current accepted rumour is that the Ti and Titan versions of Pascal will have HBM2.
