If it scared them they would have release the 1080 TI now, before vega hits the market, and work on getting volta out as soon as possible to combat this.
Also all those HBM memory stacks, I about we will see 16GB on a desktop GPU. It will cost too much. Most likely it is for the vega firepro and the desktop will get 2 stacks of 8GB total. And the problem I think about it, is that they will be similar performing to the 4xHBM1 stacks, just more memory. Compared to GDDR5X, at least memory wise, I don't think nvidia will have much to worry about.
So it will all depend on the internal GPU architecture and how well their scheduler is.
i would think they designed at least 2 or 3 configs of the 1080ti, combinations of different shader counts and gddr5 vs g5x and they will pick one to mass produce depending on vega specs
Actual availability and pricing. The rest is irrelevant. They will be doing presentations for many years and when it finally launches it will be 1+ years too late.

Or Vega is so fast it crush the TXP and therefore pointless to bring out the 1080 Ti as they probably can't compete.
They pull back the 1080 Ti, replace it with the full 3840 GP102 and release it again 1-2 months later. All the current supposed 1080 Ti card will have their shroud changed and labelled to GTX 1170 for Q3.
You know there are adapters from almost any connector to any other? DVI is dead and very limited. Qnix is a hack of a monitor that has nothing but the basic electronics, even the newer shouldn't have DVI only anymore. Just get a DP or HDMI to DVI adapter and use any GPU.

Just imagine it will be sold in 2017. Keep on dreamin' and waitin'.
I don't expect anything drastic until Navi. Vega still should be just an iteration of the same old.
Seeing what a flop Fiji was especially with it's pricing and power hunger, we can only hope that AMD managed to finally update the arch. at least a little for better power efficiency and higher clock speeds. P10 is like Maxwell and can't keep up with Pascal.
I bet the pricing especially if it's gonna have 16GB HBM2 will be outrageous. Sure it may force NV to drop the price on it's 1080 and faster cards if those will be challenged in the perf/price but other than that I bet it's gonna quite a big jump in price over the "promissed" $239 of a 480, like 3 times as much.
Sadly Fiji was priced so badly especially in EU that it made almost no sense for anyone to even consider it.
On top of that are they going to finally release an API to use the H265 HW encoder? What about better/faster support for neural networks? I swap between brands freely and right now these two things NV has a monopoly pretty much because they did put the effort/time/money into developing the necessary software part.
Vega can be awesome but it all depends on how it is priced. Overall I do not expect it to be affordable and as such it may follow the same bad fate as Fiji except this time the VRAM may actually be of usable amount.
Go AMD go, but do something about your terrible performance/price ratio finally otherwise it makes no sense to buy your products

Its not hard to jump 20% IPC from their 4 years old GCN architecture. Its not hard to boost their clock by 20% since their top speed is only 1.2GHz. They can do that and scale the cores count to which they please. They win.

Passive adapters don't work for this case, and active adapters cost upwards of 100 bucks, add lag and limit overclocks, my Qnix is a perfectly capable 1440p 96hz ips monitor thank you, it just requires a 2 cents dvi port.
