I don't know man. That's maybe like 30% stronger than Titan X. Titan X barely manages to play current games above 30fps. It does Bioshock Infinite at 4K at about 50fps and that is a notoriously easy to run game. For half way stable 60fps without many compromises you will need something stronger than that. Like Big Volta.

Then again I'm not switching to 4k anytime soon. I'd rather have rock solid high frames on 1440p and for that a 1080ti should be enough.

How did you come up with 30%?

You're right, I forgot to count the heavily increased clock. So it's like 50% then, 60 if we're generous. That's still not enough of an improvement over the Titan X to be able to play 4k60 across the board. Games aren't getting any less demanding either.

That's what my gut tells me paired with what we know about the 1080. It also shouldn't make any financial sense for Nvidia to have a 100% increase in a single generation jump.
