Do you think the 1080 Ti will even be released?

[Timmah!]

Its going to happen no doubt. Unless you think Nvidia decided they are satisfied and TX is their last GPU ever.

The only question is, whether its actually called 1080Ti or 1180/2080 instead.

On one hand you'd think at some point yields should be good enough that they'll make more money selling GP102 as the 1080 Ti for $900. But on the other can they cut the VRAM in half to 6GB when the 1080 has 8GB? Is GP102 capable of running 8GB without any 970 style shenanigans?

We will see a 1080 Ti released. When exactly depends on when AMD releases small and big Vega and how competitive they are ? My guess is AMD will have small Vega at 350 sq mm out in Q1 2017 (early Q1 in best case) . Big Vega at 500sq mm should be out by mid-2017 or early Q3 2017. btw if Vega is not manufactured at TSMC 16FF+ then I doubt AMD can compete at all. the GF 14LPP is a turd in its current state.

O..O.., you didn't read that part then.

"On a final specification note, GDDR5X also introduces non-power-of-two memory chip capacities such as 12Gb. These aren’t being used for GTX 1080 – which uses 8Gb chips – but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see these used down the line. The atypical sizing would allow NVIDIA to offer additional memory capacities without resorting to asymmetrical memory configurations as is currently the case, all the while avoiding the bandwidth limitations that can result from that."

It means 1080 Ti could even end up with 9 GB of memory.

Presumably it would be 10 GB, with the memory bus cut to 320-bit.

So everybody thinks they'll make keychains out of the cores that don't make the Titan cut?

Seems more logical in the end to salvage the chips and sell them.

I guess they could use them for workstation cards?

Big black hole in pricing structure points to something in the middle most likely.

I voted yes....But not in the market for the hope so part at least.

Cherry picked ones become Titans. The poor ones become a Ti.

They already have a 2 SM redundancy in the Titans for better yields.

The performance of the 1080 and the Titan are too close to really merit a TI right now.

It can offer pretty much the same performance like Titan. 980Ti does after all.

That looks as big of a gap as any of the Titan's and their x80 counter parts. The TI cards were pretty much equal with the previous Titan's, so there is plenty of performance to be had.

Yes but its better to wait a bit more,,
