I however wouldn't expect any of these cards to outperform the 1080ti.
I would actually expect 1080ti to be sort of the flagship performer of the second iteration of Pascal gpu's

It would make financial and marketing sense for nvidia to keep pushing Pascal through the year under the 1100 series moniker.

I only have a passing following in this but if I remember, didn't they do the same with Maxwell? I.e. squeeze another generation (900 series) out of it, because it was so good and nothing could touch it at that time?

Indeed, it's what they do, and have done for at least the last three gpu architectures if not more.
And nvidia tend to repeat themselves, so this is where I see it going.
Anyhoo, time to eat a bucket of ice, start putting pennies on the piggy and wait for Volta ;)

I'd like to wait for Volta, and I certainly could if it wasn't for VR. I don't use my headset nearly as much as I should and although I cant put my finger on an actual reason, I think one of the big factors is the quality; it just isn't quite there, the kit is a bit ahead of its time.
When the HMD Quality option was introduced and I pumped it up to like 2.0 or something it looked great but obviously, FPS wise, completely unplayable. But that's the minimum I want it to be really.

EDIT: I run a standard GTX 980.

Now wondering whether to build it myself like I have the past 4 and save a few bob and up the spec a bit.....

Or pay the extra and relax and let someone else do it......

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh..........I love building shite........

Hate the first time you power on though.......Multiple beeps are never good......

Would love for once a fully tested one package deal.......

Decisions...........Decisions.......

You should build it. Makes you feel alive when it's not working and you don't know if it's the parts or you've made a noob mistake :D :lol:


It's always the latter....

Build it! Elite made me build a desktop pc again and apart from the fact that I realized that I needed glasses, it was fun.

Build it.
It isn't truly yours until you bleed on it.
Or was that guns and knives?

Still very tempted to get the rog strix card, its actually in stock here now.

From what I see one card is faster in game x, another in game y etc etc.
It's really close though between all of them, like <5 fps.

If you want better than either you can go for the new titan Xp, which is about $400 more.

All I see is the ROG strix is currently in stock, the rest isn't..

Still sure I should rather just wait though.
