It was something I expected to see happen this year, but not August 2nd. That was waaaaaaay sooner than I expected.
From the looks of it, the 1080 still has better price to performance. I've seen claims that the TX Pascal is supposed to be ~60% faster than the old TX, which puts it around the ~25-30% faster than 1080, but it almost costs 2x as much.Originally Posted by Mhill2029

I'm more concerned with how GTX 1080 owners must be feeling right now, spending so much money on the GTX 1080 which was almost Titan X money in the first place for a midrange die, only for this monster to come along so soon after. Especially when you consider how long it was before people actually got hold of the GTX 1080 and SLI HB Bridge due to low stocks.
This is probably the biggest stab in the back I've ever seen from Nvidia. 6months later sure, but 2months? Man that's gotta hurt....
I have a theory.
Yes agree. For that price I can get 2x 1080 GTX. The 1080 has a better price/performance ratio. Unless you are running 4k and wanting over 60fps, a 1080 is a better bet.
I would if I am sure 7 of such cards would run in a single mobo having 7 PCIe slots (with watercooling the cards can be converted to single-slot)
Why would they feel bad? That card is twice the price of a GTX 1080 for 30% more performance.Originally Posted by Mhill2029

oh pooo.. i can' t post anything in the market till i have 35 rep.. hrmm.. i wonder what is needed to setup a selling account on amazon
Depends on whether one overclocks or not. I suspect that the new Titan X would be loaded, it will have the overclockability of a founder's edition card. So if you overclock you would get it quite a lot higher than that as compared to a GTX 1080. For example if you reach 2-2.1 GHz (which is very possible for a founder edtion's card), you get at least 30% on top of its initial performance. That totals to around 70% above GTX 1080.

You can say that you can overclock GTX 1080 too. But due to the high starting clocks and aggressive adaptive overclocking you don't actually net more than 10% additional performance. If all of the above are true, you can have +50-60% of greater performance as compared to GTX 1080 merely by overclocking your Titan X. This in turn would make Titan X (overclocked) the first 4K card (minimum FPS to most games maxed @ 4K > 50FPS)
Can't say I'm not excited, what I can say is that I'll probably not be able to justify that cost to me (or my wife).
Your assuming it will overclock like a 1080. Pretty big assumption. Why in the world would Nvidia neuter the Titan's performance with clock speed out of the box anyways? Doesn't even make sense for them to do that to their flagship.Originally Posted by Steven185

Don't use amazon. I've read about lots of people getting ripped off selling expensive items. Use /r/hardwareswap
Probably to keep it at 250w. But I agree, I don't see it clocking past 2000 like the other cards. Heat and PT will be killer. The FE cooler can't even keep the smaller chips cool.
