StandingCow Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Preorder is up, time to get rid of my SLI 980s. The thing about waiting is.. it's a never ending cycle. Wait for the 1080 TI, but Volta is right around the corner... but then the Volta TIs are right around the corner.. and the cycle goes on and on. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
Gman109 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I have a 1080 SLI system and a Titan XP system, both 6850 Broadwell E platforms. Since SLI + VR/Rift doesn't really work, it's essentially 1080 vs Titan XP. I notice quite a bit better performance over the 1080 with the Titan in VR, and since the 1080ti will likely perform very similarly to the Titan XP in games, I think it's worth it to upgrade if VR/DCS is your thing.

dburne Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Well I have an EVGA 1080 FTW that runs great for me, I just cannot fathom the Ti being able to give enough of a performance boost over it, to justify the additional expense - especially after having just bought this card just 7 months ago... so I am going to hold out for next gen I think.

Fred00 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 So for the sceptics, seems like the marketing was close enough. 1080Ti vs. 1080: 32% up in 4K 1080Ti vs. 980Ti: 74% up in 4K http://www.anandtech.com/show/11180/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-review/17 This will be an important performance increase for VR (both this gen and next) assuming DCS can utilize it in 2.5. Assuming next gen VR is here within one year from now this will more or less be the best card we will have. Maybe the "1180" will release Q1 2018 but I don't expect it to beat the 1080Ti by that much.
RUS38 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) The release of next-gen Nvidia Volta GPUs is planned for q1 2018. I see no reason to upgrade right now from 980ti. Will wait for 2080ti or whatever it's going to be to hit shelves by the end of 2018. And maybe next gen VR around the same time. DCS should have better optimization by then so I see the end of 2018 as a sweet spot for upgrades instead of having a rat race every year for the best and fastest Edited March 10, 2017 by RUS38

Actually, buying a founders edition is just plain silly, period. Not silly at all, depending on what you plan to do with it (EVGA Hybrid cooler for example). In fact, even keeping it on air there is nothing silly about this generation of FE cards, in the past you used to pay a premium, they didn't do that this time.

Then it will be around two years since gen 1 was released. We have also already seen a substantial price cut for the Oculus Rift which may very well be a planned half cycle price drop.

Next card will be later or have a minimum on performance on the 1080ti. But that is my opinion.

I've gone from a 780ti to 980ti and will now get a 1080ti. When Volta ti releases I will get that. Just upgrading at the last step of a cycle instead of the first. It makes little difference which point you upgrade in the long run. __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051
RoyMi6 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Be interesting to see how this runs with DCS. DCS is never included in benchmarks so down to someone in the community to do it. Who's going to be the first to compare the 1080 and 1080TI with DCS then? :D
