Hmm. I'm still a bit paranoid about Nvidia atm tbh, especially after the lame 1050 and 1050ti. What I mean is that this time around Nvidia have made sure to leave a chasm sized gap between their cards.
The Titan XP is 12gb and usually we would expect most of that (VRAM) and the same performance however this time around I have a feeling they are not going to usurp their own Titan XP (nor mug off the people who paid £1300 for one, that would make a change then !) and the 1080ti will probably perform between a 1080 and a TXP with absolutely no way of making up that deficit by means of overclocking.
For example, the 970 was easy to overclock to stock 980 etc. I have a feeling that this TI won't be like the ones from the past.
Not that slower than a TXP is a problem but the TXP IMO is just enough for smooth 60 FPS 4K.

Not everyone expected the non-reference 980ti's to be able to easily surpass a Titan X, but they did. I don't see how they are going to be able to beat a Titan XP with the 1080ti this time around as overclocking Pascal is not as good as Maxwell was.

According to some "leaked" manifesto details this will be coming in around the $1000 mark so upwards of £800.
Big no go from me, I'd rather keep hold of my classy and wait for the next iteration of cards.

Makes sense with the amount of GPU memory.

If that is the case then they are planning to release before AMD again.

If Nvidia's prices do go up then on principle I'll go AMD, I can't support a company that puts it's prices up gradually simply because they can, I know they are a business but this is beyond greedy.

£800 is going to be ridiculous. That's absolutely a joke. That's what the original Titan cost almost four years ago. I know the exchange rate has fluctuated greatly and everything is more expensive, but £800 is taking the , if it's true.

I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult.

TBH dude of late I am just happy with what I have. I am gaming again, after a very long hiatus (that seems to happen every year right around summer). I am playing Borderlands 1 with my friend and we have nearly finished the DLC, which we had not touched before. I can run this game maxed out at 1440p on my Phenom 2 X6 rig with the GTX 950 @ 1600mhz.
So then I switched back to my main rig, obviously it isn't going to worry a Titan X.
After we have done this we are going to move onto Borderlands 2, as we bought all of the DLC today for £8. That will probably last us up until Xmas.
I then have a whole crap load of games to go back to. Quantum Break, Mafia III etc etc. The last thing I need is faster more powerful hardware. I mean for god's sake I have a Fury X with about forty hours on it, if that !
Once all three rigs are built I will use the X6 rig for day to day duties and some gaming. It is the quietest rig I have by a country mile. If I need anything more demanding I will use my Titan X rig, and if DX12 and Vulkan are better on the Fury X (which Doom will be and I have only played about three hours of that too !) then hey, I am sorted.
I would rather water cool and mod than keep throwing money at the likes of Nvidia..

Didn't think of it that way, that it can be seen as both... But definitely an compliement dude
Ohh come on!... Atleast I'm trying to actually say something rather than " + 1 "...

I agree. It's easy to get so caught up in the GPU race that you forget to play awesome video games at awesomely fast frame rates. I don't need a new GPU for the games I'm playing. I've just finished playing Borderlands 2 and Euro Truck Simulator 2. The next game I think I'll play is Shadow of Mordor. The Fury is bang-on for those games at the resolution I play. It's a brilliant GPU for that. But in the future I'll need a new graphics card if I want to still hit awesomely fast frame rates in games like Deus Ex.

The games coming out now are truly pitiful, they really are. Mind you, some of the early DX11 stuff was just as bad in hindsight. I think about the best launch game for performance was Dirt 2. Everything else took way more power and didn't look all that clever.
What is funny though is you could hack Dirt 2 and enable all of the lighting and shadows, DX10 would take care of it. The only part you couldn't have was tessellation which tbh was pants in Dirt 2 any way.
I think people were expecting miracles of DX12, when in reality it's a bit crap really.

Its the same story as you said it was with DX11. Just as bad in the beginning. Give it more time and Devs will start to get used to having all the extra control over everything.
