GTX 1080 benchmarks leak: not much faster than a 980 Ti

I suppose that it's possible, though Nvidia might not feel there's an incentive to do a 1080ti. I wouldn't hold my breath for it. Though I'd be willing to hold my breath on the 480X being about a 390X equivalent but I'm not sure if it'll be part of the initial launch of Ellesmere/Polaris 10.  Even if the 480X is slower than the 390X, and the 490 is the 390X equivalent, it'll still probably be cheaper than what the 390X costs right now.

If the 780 Ti is anything to go by, if another Titan card comes around, there's gonna be a 1080 Ti.

780ti and 980ti perhaps, being that there's a good probability that the 1080 will have a ti version too.

It seems nVidia supports Async Compute!

Superb Craftsmanship. Increases in bandwidth and power efficiency allow the GTX 1080 to run at clock speeds never before possible -- over 1700 MHz -- while consuming only 180 watts of power. New asynchronous compute advances improve efficiency and gaming performance. And new GPU Boost™ 3 technology supports advanced overclocking functionality. - See more at: http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/a-quantum-leap-in-gaming:-nvidia-introduces-geforce-gtx-1080#sthash.2YU4Eyuy.dpuf

There aren't any ACEs in the GPU block, this could just mean they've improved the context switching in it.

True, as this could be nVidia's short-term solution until Volta.

If they even add them in Volta, it's easier for them to mess up games with GameWorks than try something they've not tried before.

We'll have to wait and see.
