Shipping manifest hints at Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 10GB VRAM

£800 is a bit sickening. I know the pound is in the crapper, but that is messed up. That's over 40% more than a 1080, which is already a disgustingly expensive card.

But we keep buying em, so they're gonna keep testing the limits of what we'll pay. Oh and the whole literally no competition thing. That doesn't help any.

Most of the 3rd party 1080 cards with the custom coolers are £650 - £700 though (some even more). If it's £800 in it's (example) EVGA ACX 3.0 (add some random buzzword on the end) then the uplift isn't quite so bad.

Agreed that the price is crazy, but as you said, no competition = high prices.

What happened to ATI/AMD? dead?

[virtuo]

You're looking at it the wrong way... the Ti has for the last few generations been a cut down version of the titan x not an upgrade to the non Ti due to using the 'full fat' gpu core design. Last time they could get away with 6Gb (half the titan x maxwell) because the 980 was just 4GB but this time the 1080 is 8GB and as they limited the titan x to 12GB (got to sell them quadro p6000's somehow) there is only 4GB gap so can only be 10GB if they want to 'improve' over the 1080. The titan x isn't being marketted the same anymore either, it's now just the top end gaming card so it will just be incrementally better than the one below it.

but the article doesn't say that....

Yeah I guess so, marketing is confusing these days - the naming scheme implies it's a "better 1080", not a "worse titan". But hey, it's nvidia.

I didnt say the article says that, I was referring to the slug in the first post, the bit that grabs your attention:

Rumours suggest it will pack 10GB of GDDR5 memory, and this card will cost £800.

It's poorly written, maybe they meant the rumours suggest it will cost £800. But hey, Hexus.

Did you miss the release of 3 Polaris cards this summer?

Next AMD graphics release isn't scheduled until after Christmas. Should be Vega - high end chip with HBM2 memory. Don't know much else about it. Watch this space...

EDIT: and just a quick thought - whilst nvidia may be going with asymmetric memory channels on this, the manifest may also be incorrect about the bus width - a 320 bit bus would give you a lovely symmetric arrangement of 10GB GDDR5X and be a differentiating point to both the 1080 and the Titan X...

I thought the same until I read in the AT GTX1080 article that GDDR5X allows none power of 2 memory configurations.

And what if this is one of the lower end models, to match up to the 550-660 quid cards ? That means 900-950 quid cards for the likes of EVGA. For all we know this could be a Palit price!
