All they need is your soul for payment =P

As much as I would be interested in a 1080ti or Titan G, those two won't be anywhere near as cheap as the current cards. If you guys have more than 1k to spend on GPU like that so soon after the current ti models then my hat is off to you. 

To make this upgrade count from my current 980ti it has to be SLI. Still hoping though that the 1080ti will be below 1k when it releases.

We will see those two top end cards next year 2017. & in 2018, they will announce next gen GPU Volta.

Titan G.... xD or maybe they will call codename Titan Ultra. :P

GTX Titan X Ultra Zega =D

They'll make it and no one will ever know.

Anyone who buys this card for 1080P gaming is silly.
With that said... This is the kind of card you can use to take advantage of Downscaling, even on a 1080P panel.

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.

Benchmarks I saw... The 1080 was able to beat SLI 980 Ti's in some games, that's a pretty big improvement in my eyes... And considering how new this Architecture is, expect it to be the main focus of driver performance improvements.

Still waiting on Anandtech to do a deep and thorough analysis of the architecture though, to see what is ticking under the hood, Pascal is showing that it isn't a slouch, considering this isn't the top-end card and it is beating the likes of Titan and Fury X.

The other part of this is of course... Overclocking. Reports are trickling in that people have been able to hit 2.1 - 2.2Ghz on the core clock, which is freaking nuts, they are seeing performance gains of 20-30% straight out of the box, gets me excited to see what people can do with some voltage and cooling mods, will we finally see a 3ghz GPU this year?

Hopefully AMD can be competitive with Polaris.

It is a ripper for 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 though, the 1070 is the card that targets the 1080P market (Downscaling not withstanding.)

For Eyefinity/4k/5k resolutions, you still need multiple GPU's for the best experience.

That 4K performance is amazing, I can only imagine what the 1080ti and Titan will be like.I'd say that the vanilla 1080ti will be at least 30% faster than vanilla 1080, and if we also amount the factory OC, plus the user's OC that 30% could turn into 60-70%
Now the Titan will be at least 10-15% faster than the 1080ti, which makes it 70-85% faster than a reference 1080...

So, yeah a 1080ti and Titan 2-way SLI should be able to play the most demanding games maxed out at 4K60fps and probably plenty of not so old games at 5K same settings.

This makes me really happy, I can finally get rid of my 3rd card, and hopefully with the extra space, I can finally build my desk PC.

The overclocking potential is just one more reason to wait for Big Pascal. Imagine what clock can do if it actually has some power under the hood. The road to Volta is long and hard, so there really is no reason to splurge now on the 1080 when a significant upgrade is just 6 months away.

Of course you can say that there is always the next card just around the corner, but after Big Pascal it's at least a year until Volta. GV104 is most likely not going to beat Big Pascal, but will surely beat the 1080. So until Big Volta comes around it's gonna be some time.

the performance is quite amazing i could easily play every current AAA game in 120Hz on my old monitor. But the prices are really redicolous, Nvidia charges 800€ for this card, its 200€ more than what americans pay and the Euro is still above the US Dollar.

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.
