NVidia really kicks its customers in the lower back repeatedly, in both price and perfomance categories...
I recently updated from a GTX 970 to a GTX 1080ti and while i am enjoying the immense performance boost in VR, i am really happy, that i have waited and not payed the same money for a 1080 or even went for a Titan X...
NVidias behavior really leaves a bad taste...

Whilst I don't disagree, no one is actually putting a gun to our heads and saying buy this! I couldn't wait for the 1080 ti anymore and so went for a 1080 to tide me over... this was from two 980's in SLI. My other pc in uk currently has a 980 in it and I just bought a portable workstation with a 1070 in it. Tbh the gaming experience is pretty awesome with any of the rigs. I'm sure I'll get a 1080ti sooner rather later but I think anything past a 980 will likely do the job for the foreseeable future. I get that the Nvidia market strategy leaves a bad taste, but just don't buy it if you don't need / want the newest shiny card.
Jeebus £400 is the max i would ever shlep on a gfx card. Nvidia is crazy i tells ya
Nah - must be the pic cos it's not really much bigger than the GPU
Well, I wouldn't consider it a small GPU like a low profile 1050...
I read an article claiming players that shelled out $1200 USD for the Titan X (pascal) are sort of pee-d off, too. NVidia makes the Titan X, sells it for $1200 claiming it is the top-of-the-line NVidia GPU, then releases the 1080ti which performs just barely better but for $600 less, so NVidia releases another "Titan XP" the "official Titan X Pascal" GPU for another $1200 and it performs just a teensy bit better then the first two GPUs and now NVidia claims that is now the top-of-the-line NVidia GPU. If I had shelled out $1200 USD for the "top-of-the-line" GPU 3 months ago just to be superseded twice in a few weeks I would be P-O'd too.

They should demonstrate their anger by pouring gasoline on their old Titans, setting them on fire and streaming it on Youtube.
That'll teach nVidia.
Yeah, but they have been doing THIS precise thing for last 10 years or so.
Are anyone honestly surprised?
Most people don't have to have THE best card even though their current one is 5 fps short.
I am very tempted to get the 1080ti because VR is driving me bonkers.
In all honesty my 980ti is fine, if it wasn't for VR I probably woulnd't even bother paying attention to the trades at all.
And yes, I don't consider the titan really a gaming card.
But more like a really budget quadro that can play games.
If we should be ing at anyone, it should be FD to get off their buts and start implementing things like SMP and DX 12.
We really do have hardware to run current gen VR well, it just needs to be implemented and used atm.
I'd pay $50 in a kickstarter for that.
I was pee'd off at first but I've seen the 2016 ones going quite quickly on eBay for around £800. I have someone interested in buying mine for around that Mark.
If I fail to sell at a decent price I'll just stick it in a PC in my office for my design work.
Got mine last friday, box is very small. Just bigger than the card
I think thats why you need to buy one as soon as it comes out to get the best value from it. I have a new Titan XP, and I know that at some point this year they might release the next set of cards 1100s (?), if they bring out a new series every year that is. 680 was March 2012, 780 was in May 2013, 980 was September 2014, 1080 was May 2016. So Maybe 1180 end of this year. So will I be pee'd off nope. Nvidia hasn't forced me to buy it, and bringing out a new card is there business. Also there 700 series has three titans, so what's to say that if they delay the 1180 series until next year we won't see another Titan card.
oh I have no idea if the next series will be called 1180, but you know what I mean.
I honestly expect they will announce 1180, a slight tweak on the current line.
This new titan and the ti and this new titan is just the start of this wave.
And the tweak on the non titan gpu (remember the ti is a tweaked titan pascal as well, not a beefed up 1080) and from the other pundits. It is expected nvidia announce the refreshed pascal in May, or June.
I also suspect it would make a lot of sense to use the 11 series for this run.
Since this will simply keep the more PR impactfull 20 series available, for when they release Volta. Their next, brand new gpu architecture that from most guesses will launch around this time in 2018, give or take a few months for development and productions.
They have been doing this for a while now.
In short, release one architecture, refresh and refine the next, then release a true replacement architecture the year after that.
My normal plan is therefore to perhaps, buy in on a refined run.
Wait two years and then upgrade if I need, ideally skip two generations (so almost five years on a gpu)
Now I can afford to buy a 1080ti now, but it is an awful lot for anow upgrade on a card I got less than a year and half ago.
The titan is simply just to expensive.
Probably little interest to anyone but I had a very quick play on Elite last night, cranked everything up to absolute max (CV1) and it ran VERY smoothly and looked AMAZING!!!
It was almost as good as playing on a monitor
Not sure if anything's changed with the recent update as I've not played in 3/4 weeks.

Enjoy those
I never understood how can they do that. What if someone steals it while it's standing there?
In my country, no courier can leave a package like that. The only way to hand it over is to receive your signature. If that's not available, then they return it to their warehouse where you have to pick it up yourself later.
