| Turkish said: So much for all the self proclaimed experts who thought it was only a minor upgrade over the 980Ti. "bbuuut It's only gonna be 10% faster" "bbuuut HBM2, Big Pascal next year!" all excuses to make them feel good about their outdated cards.  Next year we'll start hearing rumours about Volta, and those people will look silly. "Wait for Volta, the next big thing". Might as well never buy a gpu. |
It kinda stayed true though. The 1080 is not a big enough improvement over the 980ti to upgrade. Volta will not release before 2018 and Big Volta may as well be not available before the end of 2018 or even 2019.
Upgrading now to a 1080 would be silly when there is a 1080ti on the Horizon which is significantly more powerful and the only thing able to tide us over to Big Volta.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
