Should people with a GTX 1080 move to a TI, or wait?

[Clumsybeast]

I have a GTX 1080 Hybrid, and saw that they announced the TI,, but just don't think i need to.. GTX 1080 should be more than enough for a couple more years. I have a Ryzen 1700X, and the X370 Pro preordered too, so wil have that on my PC. Just curious on everyone opinion. I feel like its a pure waste of money other than to just have the latest and greatest. I am not even playing games at 4K..

U don't rly need the upgrade

[DINOSOWER! Haikir|awpspritzen]

yes

People with GTX 1080( I own one) would rather skip Ti for now. I bet we have Intel/AMD/nVidia war on the horison. Guess it will be a lot of fresh ideas well ahead, also price drops

Very true.

The 1080 vanilla is still a beefy card. Personally, I wouldn't know how I could possibly justify (to myself) upgrading so soon. I think you're fortunate enough to be able to skip a generation with little or no consequences.

If the games run fine at the resolution and settings you like, I wouldn't upgrade.

If you are going to do it though, I would advise doing it ASAP; cause price-drops on all NVIDIA GTX 10xx are coming very soon (1080 marking down to $499 / 1070 marking down to $349) so if you do wait too long, it would hurt the re-sale value of your 1080.

Overall, a single 1080 is still VERY good and if it runs all your stuff fine, I don't see the rush to upgrade. Best bet is hold on to that (again weight your options and personal choices/wants/needs) and see if it is worth it to you for what all you need it for. As it might make more sense for many, to keep using current GPU until say 1180 or 2080 (whatever the next gen ends up being named) comes along instead.

IF YOU HAVE MONEY upgrade +30% perf

What is your current monitor?

- 1440p with high refresh rate of 165HZ
- UltraHD 4K
- Nvidia Surround (3 or more multi-monitors)

If not, you won't even notice the additional FPS gain from the Ti version. There's no justification in cost to performance ratio gain. If you are using 60Hz refresh rate on the monitor, then forget it completely.

Ya, i'm happy I waited, almost bought a 1080, hell almost bought a Titan Pascal, and now contrary to rumours that they wouldn't release a 1080 ti because it'll render the Titan obsolete the 1080ti IS COMING!!!

Just Wait till you see what Zotac does with the 1080ti, it'll make your eyes bleed hahahaha.

If they release a 1080 ti Amp Extreme hybrid edition I'll buy 2.

Also funny to note NVidia ceased production of the Titan X Pascal several weeks ago, why? because they are about to be made utterly redundant.

A 1080 Ti is 35% better than a 1080. That's quite a difference...... more difference than a 980 Ti to a 1080, that was only 20%.

That 35% is just how damn good the reference 1080 Ti is. The 3rd party cards will be even more awesome.

I'm sure it's mark up value (at least here in New Zealand) will be crazy for a while early on when selling like hot cakes.

35% is a nice figure and all, but how does that play in real-world result. Your graphics card can only dish out as much as the monitor can handle. Therefore it's more logical to ensure what monitor will be running it can actually make use of the additional frames, rather than just discarding them to the waste.

Yes when these things first launch; or when price-drops are announced; basically only way you will see that happen quickly is within countries like United States, Canada (still has some mark-up), and maybe a few Asian areas, like Singapore or Hong Kong.

I have a BenQ 1080p 144ghz monitor.

gt 1080ti is reported to have 30% improvement over gtx 1080.

amd is also reproted to launch rebranded 500 series gpu in april 2017 (?). better clocks, better memory so also a good consideration to buy.
