QOTW: What are your expectations of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

[HEXUS]

And for the enthusiasts, how fast will it need to be in order to make it an instant purchase?

Read more.

[idris]

Expect no ACE.

[Spreadie]

Expectation: Massive price gouging.

[Jowsey]

What I don't expect is the Spanish Inquisition, but, the no one does, do they?

Ontopic, lots of performance and lots of monies required to buy it.

[Jipper]

I'll be waiting for the full fat GP100 or GP200. Not falling for a cut down version of new architecture again.

[iworrall]

I'll wait until I see an HBM2 version of the 1080Ti

[Xlucine]

Something you're trying to tell us? pixel counting that graph gives a score of about 5k for the 1080 ti. As for the question, no amount of performance will make me buy it instantly - I'm holding off until we have cards from both teams, so I can make a proper judgement on which to get.

[EndlessWaves]

I don't believe it. The 980ti was only released last June so I'd expect any direct replacement to be the end of this year at the very earliest. Early 2017 seems more likely, and mid-2017 wouldn't surprise me.

Of course, the 970/980 successor ('GP104') will provide a bit more performance than the current 980ti but if you're looking for big improvements at the high end you'll have to wait for GP100.

In terms of the imminent GP104 release I'd expect some word on nVidia on variable refresh rate technology. Probably an announcement that they'll be the first to support DisplayPort Adaptive Sync in some new area (VR or whatever) with the quiet admission that they'll also be supporting it on monitors alongside G-sync.

Full hardware VP9/HEVC encoding and decoding of course.

great wait for the GeForce GTX 2080 Ti, comming next year

[Bagpuss]

I have a simple metric, if a single 1070, X70(or whatever it's called) is as fast as my current two 970's in SLI, then I'll get one.

..basically it needs to be every bit as fast as a current single 980Ti, with the option of adding a second one later for SLI.

[Lithuanian]

Well I recently upgraded to R9 390 so my interest dropped significantly and my expectations are probably similar to others. Huge cost, huge performance, however really bad value for your wallet.

[Nifl]

I expect it to come with 7.5GB RAM ;D

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

1.)It will be a graphics card.
2.)It will cost a lot of money.
3.)It will lead to E-PENIS wars.
4.)Might be used to run games.

[DanceswithUnix]

Well it should be twice the performance of a 980, so I expect it to be twice the price of a 980.

I expect no open source driver support for at least a year.

I expect it will have some new but dubious feature built in that the 970/980 aren't so good at so that games can be made to use it so that we can get benchmarks that show it artificially much better than the old cards.

Nvidia have a dubious reputation with their first silicon on a new process, so I expect it to be hot, unreliable and have awful yields.

I expect they are still going to try and ram Gsync down our throats, although if it can do a steady 144Hz at 1440p then Freesync/Gsync become fairly irrelevant.

Given a lack of reports of the card being seen in the wild, I expect it to be a paper launch with hardly any cards actually available leading to huge price gouging at first.

[pastymuncher]

My expectations are yet another stupidly priced card that I can't possibly even begin to justify buying.
