Should be be looking at a solid 60fps @ maxed-out 4k with this card?

No we know what the Titan level performance is, so expect around that. Look up reviews for Pascal Titan, e.g. this one or that one.

We could get anywhere from slightly below to slightly above Titan X(P) performance, depending on their implementation of this card.

 

[RedlineRonin]

Will places like Best Buy (or Best Buy.com) stock it? I have $1100 in reward points to use on this.

Jesus. I normally have a floating $200-$400 in RZ points, and I thought I really stockpiled.

Games don't work like that, so, no. 'Maxed out' is not a standard defined performance requirement across games.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The timing of this card is terrible. Pascal is near a year old now, and Volta will probably be available on a consumer level in early 2018.

????

Early 2018 is still a year away....

I would say the timing of the card is fine. Nvidia actually stalled on the 1080 Ti as long as they could because of how late AMD was with Vega.

Hello friend

We could be looking at a situation where 1080Ti > Titan XP due to the former being able to have 3rd party coolers and the like installed on it.

The timing is terrible coz I just bought a 2 bedroom unit tbh

Yeah, I'm sort of expecting this to be slightly below Titan on paper but better cooling allowing it to go slightly above in real world perf.

 

[Celcius]

hmm, I want to upgrade but I'm still on an ancient 1080p 60hz monitor. Sounds like March is going to be an expensive month.

Yeah, but he did say "around [the Titan XP]" and overclocking only moves the needle so far, as I'm sure you well know.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

What is the current Card-Destroyer PC game?

Elite Dangerous.

VR, 2x HMD resolution, 2.0 Supersampling, highest settings. Park inside a space station on the dock. Whatch your system cry.

 

[kuYuri]

If the timing is true, I'm so down. I'll return my 1080 and put that money towards a 1080 Ti and pay the difference.

 

[badb0y]

What if Vega is slower than a 1080?

Depends on how much slower and the price. I have a 980 Ti running at 1480ish on the core so it's not like I am in a hurry to upgrade.

650? Hahahahaha.

Dude.

Normal 1080 only just dropped to that price point.

I paid $650 for my 980 Ti when it launched. I can't support nVidia if every generation they are going to ask for more money.

 

[mordecaii83]

I was excited for the 1080Ti, but it not showing up for so long has dampened a lot of that. I feel like it's in some weird middle release area between Pascal and Volta, to where it won't even be the best consumer card for very long even though they'll most likely charge a stupidly high price for it.

I'm with the guy who said $650 or wait to see what Vega brings. Worst case scenario I'll just ride with my 980Ti until Volta comes out and I'll have a faster card than the 1080Ti for probably half the cost.

 

[metareferential]

Hopefully the wait will be worth it; I hate waiting so I got a Titan X pascal at launch and I'm keeping it until the next one I guess. XD

 

[EatChildren]

It'll be disappointing if it's just a Titan Pascal with Nvidia Ti tax, but it's probably likely.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Should be be looking at a solid 60fps @ maxed-out 4k with this card?

No, but this will probably finally be the card that can run a perfect 60fps @ 1440p. 980ti and 1080 came close but still struggles in the most demanding games.

[Dreams-Visions]

If it makes my VR experience even better I won't give a single fuck. Looking forward to using my 1080 Step Up from EVGA.

 

[Water]

Well, I'm gonna give serious consideration to this card. My half a year old 1080 croaked recently, and the vendor messed up the handling of the replacement so badly that I should be getting a full refund. The alternative is that I find a good deal on a 1070 and ride that until something significantly eclipses 1080 Ti, I guess. The 1080 never was very good value, and if/when I put down a lot of cash for a GPU again, I'd really like it to be solid at 4K/60 and for VR.

 

[WetWaffle]

I can only hope this makes the 1070 and 1080 drop in price. Still haven't been able to build my 1440p 144hz pc

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

I can only hope this makes the 1070 and 1080 drop in price. Still haven't been able to build my 1440p 144hz pc

I really hope so. Almost picked up a 1080 few days ago but I'll have to wait and see now.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

At the very least there is sure to be people selling their 1080s.

 

[Renekton]

I think the only thing that can make those two drop MSRP is AMD Vega, assuming it doesn't suck. You're possibly looking at waiting till May 5th

 

[PFD]

At some point you have to stop waiting to upgrade. There's always another card on the horizon. I feel pretty good about the 1080 I bought last year (upgrade from a 680), and it can rip through everything I've thrown at it, so I think I'm okay for a few more years yet.

ok

 

[Pagusas]

Jesus. I normally have a floating $200-$400 in RZ points, and I thought I really stockpiled.

It's our primary do everything credit card, so we put close to 100k on it a year in everyday expenses and big purchases.

 

[samar11]

Is there any point in upgrading to this if you have a 1080?
I'd imagine the gains wouldn't be significant enough to warrant an upgrade.

 

[JaseC]

That depends on your use case. Fortunately, you can answer the question already by looking at how the Titan XP fares against the 1080 in scenarios that are most applicable to you; the Ti is going to be within a stone's throw of it (overclocking aside).

 

[Soldiussnaku]

hmm, I want to upgrade but I'm still on an ancient 1080p 60hz monitor. Sounds like March is going to be an expensive month.

Buy it for the sweet, sweet, sweet downsampling. It's what I'm getting a 1170 for, even with a 1080p monitor.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Don't worry, it's not.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Don't worry, it's not.

Based on...?

 

[serenewarfare]

I have an original Titan, and I'm waffling between whether to jump to this or wait for Volta...

 

[hanspampel]

Only if you want the best of the best.
And 4k ultra high fps across the board without sli

Just wait for reviews.
I don't think the 1080ti will be as great as the 980ti. Just because it's even more salvage part with 3 cus deactivated

Based on...?

It's of course just an assumption. But a high end 500mm chip being below a midrange 350mm chip would be a big surprise (and new low for and)
Has that ever happend before?!

I got a 980ti right now with a 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor. I was thinking of pulling the trigger and upgrade to the 1080ti, but I'm seeing the next line of cards will be out in a few months (Volta)?

No. A launch of the 1080ti now indicates no other new cards in the near future. It's rumored the binning yield's for gp104 and gp102 are still horrible in the 30% range only.

The one and only data point that exists. Needless to say that it's too early to draw final conclusions.

 

[AzaK]

For someone who hasn't followed graphics cards for maybe 10-15 years, is Ti usually a significant upgrade? Also, how will this compare to the Titan X (Which a mate of mine wants to buy but can't find anywhere)

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Man, the 1080 just can't get any respect. With the exception of the $1200 Titan X Pascal, it's been the fastest single GPU you can buy for 10 months and it's still just a "midrange" chip.

 

[PFD]

Don't worry, it's not.

Recert rumors are it's gonna be a midrange card

 

[Leatherface]

to sell or not to sell my 1080? hmmmmm

 

[JaseC]

I wouldn't classify the x80 -> x80 Ti difference as significant, but in other cases it is, and judging from history a stock 1080 Ti ought to be only a few percent slower than a stock Titan XP.

 

[jrcbandit]

The 1080 is already fine for 4k as long as you turn down a few settings, AA, etc. I have no problems hitting 60 fps without affecting picture quality much, although I haven't tried Deus Ex Mankind Divided on it... The Ti will even be better at this, but I doubt I'll bite at the $900-1000 expected price. The release of the Ti and Vega will lower 1070 and 1080 prices at least.

it's a great card and a high end card, but the chip is just midrange

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Based on...?

un-optimized Vega using Fury X drivers outperforming the 1080. Then again, in fairness it was an AMD cherry picked benchmark, but I suspect Vega will clearly beat the 1080. It probably won't leave the 1080 in its dust, but it will definitely be the performance leader. Basically an assumption.

 

[spannicus]

For the price of this card you could buy 2 Scorpios probably or a Scorpio and Switch or PS4 PRo and Switch or 980ti and scorpio etc. Nvidias gonna try to milk us with this one.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

This GPU going to be a real monster, though!

 

[Bob Coffee]

so in dragon ball power levels where should the 1080ti land?

When are the Volta 1100 cards due out?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

When are the Volta 1100 cards due out?

No idea.

2018 probably.

 

[Filth]

Guys what would be the best option. Sell the 1080 and get a 1080ti or buy another 1080 and sli. ???

 

[Dawnbuster]

Have a 980ti. Game mostly at 144fps on a 1080p 27inch Benq, and with Oculus Rift.

No reason to upgrade for me until I finally get a high-refresh 4k.

Gonna read that last line into a recorder and loop playback as I sleep for the next 6 months.

 

[Fried Food]

Sweet. I stuck with my 980 with the intention of upgrading to this.

/980ti/ is fine at 4k if you don't mind fudging settings, much less a damned 1080 lol

Pascal owners might cry fowl at the vram thing, but really the only game I've seen actually max the vram on my card at any resolution was re7, and I'm almost positive it was a cache bug. Playable 4k has been here for years. Personally I'm just waiting on the monitor tech to catch up to where I want it to before jumping in.
