I am not pissed off

[jeremymwilson]

In contrast to so many posts I have seen already I can say that I am not in the least pissed off at Nvidia releasing a gpu that is more powerful than mine. 

 

I was was happy with it yesterday and I am happy with it today. 

 

On the contrary, a big thumbs up to Nvidia for pushing the envelope (kind of opposite to what Intel has been doing for years). 

 

Have a good day everyone.

Haha, we all knew it was coming, why would anyone be pissed off? 1180 will be out next year and the merry go round carries on - However, 35% faster, I'm calling bs now as the Titan XP reviews I've seen vs my Palit has it  only 8 - 10 FPS in some games at 1440P/4k ....

I know the ti is faster, but not that much

[KE2012]

I can understand the few people who just bought a 1080 at full price thinking they are getting the best of the best feeling annoyed, (deposited their lack of research into when new cards may be released) but I don't think anyone is pissed off that they are releasing new cards. 

[ZothOmmog]

I didn't really get the wow factor, it feels a little bit boring actually because they just keep doing the same thing over and over again.

 

At least with AMD there is adventure

 

I'm not angry, not even mad.

What annoys me is that they delay the 1080ti so they can sell the 1080 for more.

 

The dies for the gtx 1080 and the 1080 ti where realsed at the same time. If there was competion in the gpu market the gtx 1080ti would probably be the 1080 and everything would have been moved down one notch.

 

Like the gtx 680 was sposto be the titan and use the big chip, but they 7970 was slow, so they sold the smaller cheaper chip at the higher price and realsed the titan and 780ti later, less rnd, higher prices, more profit.

This is why we need AMD to compete big time (I say with my gsync monitor) but seriously I miss my old Athlon 64 + 9800 pro (flashed to XT!) build

 

What really should happen (it won't) is people that have 1080's should keep them rather than flooding ebay with 1080's and buying the ti just to say "I still haz fastest card" (but no car more than likely) - Nvidia kind of banks on this aswell it astounds me how many people upgrade every tick/tock just:

Well with Ryzen hopefully we are seeing the "new" AMD and Vega will do wonders for the gpu market (for consumers) just like it's happening now in the cpu market.

I never understood people pissed off by Nvidia x80 Ti releases. It's been 3 generation now, everyone who buys a x80 should be informed that a better bargain usually comes out with the x80 Ti, this is ridiculous. And don't get me started on the Titan owners that seems to rediscover what is a x80 Ti every year and get pissed off to see similar performance for much much less. Those are the best :-D

[tomotomov92]

Well the 1080 Ti looks amazing (I've had 1080 since June) and is going to be an upgrade for everyone (it may even be an upgrade for all Titan XP owners with about 1% to 2% increase ).

 

Also all owners of 1080s will get the most money for their old cards now just because in a week the new cards will be discounted af

But... But... Why buy a GTX 1080 for so much cash at launch to sell it a couple of months later for the 1080 Ti ? This is admitting your fanboyism without shame, no sensible customer would make such a decision. 

[Mirdon]

I'm actually very happy with my purchase regardless of the 1080ti. I finally saved up money to purchase a gtx 1070 and it costs $440 but then I saw this 1080 that's only $550 so I decided to purchase that one instead. I'll hold on to it and purchase the 80ti Volta in the future. Besides, I only have 1080p at the moment so it doesn't really matter as well .

[tomotomov92]

@roylapoutre I'm not a fan boy. I just want a card that will kick the crap out of my Acer Predator XB271HU (1440p@165Hz).

The 1080 was not enough and from what I've seen with the Titan XP - the 1080 Ti will be the thing that will help me the most.

 

Also why am I going to sell my 1080 now? Because just a few weeks in the future the price will drop and I won't be able to get the money that I'm going to get for it now.

 

I was expecting AMD to announce just anything but I can't power my monitor with a T-shirt and a 20 sec logo animation. It's just not enough.

The question isn't why do you sell your 1080, I get that. The question is why so many people bought a 1080 knowing a 1080 Ti was coming and will be better suitted for their needs ? I guess I'm just too patient for that kind of stuff but when I buy something, I want to know it's perfect for what I need and that I will be able to keep the GPU without regretting my purchase less than a year later. When I bought the 980 Ti 1.5 years ago, it was for 1440p 60 fps. It still does it perfectly fine. When I'll be upgrading, it will likely be for 4k 60+fps, and I won't upgrade until it works just like I want. Upgrading every year for 30% more performance seems like a waste when you see those prices, just my opinion.

 

 

[tomotomov92]

Before the 1080 I had 2 970s in SLI and it was a disaster. I've sold them just before the Pascal launch for no loss (I've been bought them half a year before selling them for the same amount of money I've sold them) so I was able to pay just a little bit extra for the 1080 which was a real upgrade.

 

Right now I want to get the most money I've spent on the 1080 and get the new cool thing that will keep the dust in my case moving.

 

Also I've enough money to get 2 1080 Tis without selling the 1080 - but even I know that this is not a smart move (SLI is not my thing).

 

The other thing - I didn't plan to upgrade until there was some more data on Vega(n) and Volta - but I'm planning to keep the Ti for a bit more than the 1080.

 

P.S. I know that I sound like an as***le but I've played on an Integrated graphics with the minimal settings with achieving max FPS of 5 and believe me - I want to make sure I'm not going to be in the same situation anytime soon.

9 months is not s "couple" of months. This is s big amount of time. The only ones who should be mad are the oned who bought 1080s in 2017.

I was a little upset and I purchased one in November. My frustration was around the fact that they are releasing it at the same price point as the launch 1080 with a significant 1080 card cost now.

Excuse me to point out that anyone who bought a 1080 in 2017 and then complains about the 1080 Ti launch is in the wrong. They only have themsleves to blame for not making an informed purchase. Did they expect Nvidia to warn them when buying their 1080 ? "oh btw we have a 1080 Ti on the way, and the 1080 will likely drop in price"

 

Just look at topics before the launch, everywhere. People knew that, people talked about that, and Nvidia does this since the 700 series. Milking everyone with x80 cards with an inflated price at first, and launch the real bargain a couple months later with a drop in the price for all the other cards (which should've been the real price at launch). I repeat, people who bought a 1080 in 2017 have no one else to blame than themselves.

Well, puting 2 970s in SLI instead of buying a 980 Ti was already a huge mistake  

 

If you're ok with spending money on the best GPU available every 10 months or so, by all means, do it ! I was just pointing out that this seems more like an compulsive behavior to have the best thing all the time rather than an sensible purchase. I just hate people complaining about a better GPU release solely because it makes them feel like their card is already outdated.

While i agree with you, i can't assume all people inform themselves like the people on this forum do.

Well actually I've bought the 2 970s for less than the half price of the 980ti (just shy of 350$ in late 2015).

 

Also I think that 1080 Ti is already outdated but I won't buy more than 4 of them

Buying a 600€ graphics card without researching some information on the subject is still the fault of the buyer and a stupid decision

Here is the deal. AMD is usually behind the power curve in GPU's and CPU's for "Enthusiast" grade silicon, but every once in a while they steal a march on Nvidia and/or Intel.

 

Now, I am an Intel and an Nvidia fanboi. Unless AMD does something rather startling I will usually stick with the blue/green teams. Obvious bias aside, I am very grateful for AMD. They push innovation. With out competition, we would be oohing and ahhing over the uber GeForce 256 card today and creaming our jeans over the Pentium II.

[PrimeSonic]

I bought my 980 Ti less than six months before the 10series came out.

I still don't regret it since it's been serving me very well, even driving my X34 Predator without any issues.

Heck, I just bought a waterblock for so I'll be making sure I get my money's worth out of that card for a good while longer.

 

But here's the thing, I don't plan on even thinking about upgrading until I see the AMD VEGA cards on the market.

Then and only then will real competition continue. We might start seeing price cuts all around as AMD lights up the market again.

 

On a personal note, I might end up skipping the 10series entirely (since my hardware is still overkill for my needs) and waiting for whatever the next generation ends up bringing.

[Nena Trinity]

I wait for Vega and this then see what benches say before doing anything, there are no bad cards just bad prices!

[Princess Luna]

It did leave me thinking though, why don't nVidia release xx80 and xx80ti together and Later release the Titan X, because It does feel weird a xx80ti outperforming the Titan when the latter was supposed to be the top of the line premium one, is nVidia going to leave the Titan XP price at 1200? Even with its black beefier looks it won't sell another brand new unit for this pricing lol
