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 all excuses to make them feel good about their outdated cards.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.

Have you even seen the reviews? The 1080 is a big enough upgrade over the titan x, let alone the 980ti. On average you're getting 20-30fps more.

The 1080ti is not on the horizon, where did you get that idea from? The next titan is likely spring 2017 and for the 1080ti you'll gonna have to wait until summer 2017.  By that time you'll start hearing rumours of Volta and people are gonna wait on that in 2018. But then it appears it was "little Volta" even though it's an impressive upgrade but people will still downplay it and do the waiting game for Big Volta, and the next gpu gen after it... neverending cycle.
