Hey guys,

Will the upcoming 1080 be faster than the 980 Ti? According to the info leaked till now, it seems that 1080 will be faster than 980 but slower than 980 Ti. What do you think guys? I am asking since I have ordered a 980 Ti and reconsidering my decision.

There is no confirmation till now, as there is no official word from Nvidia, and its better not to base a purchase based on speculation.
If you can wait, i would definitely recommend waiting for Pascal. If not for the new GPU, price drops in current ones itself.

Cancel that 980ti and wait for pascal hbm. Buying 980ti so late isn't vice since we pay a lot more compared to others in our country

Thanks for your suggestion. I have already built my new system and GPU is only missing. I tried to wait but couldn't wait. Price cuts in India are never on the same time. Mods: please close this thread.

What is the config for your new system? How much did it cost overall.

Well if you can't wait, then this thread is pointless now. Might as well close it.

1080 will be replacing 980. So, no way it could be priced that high. We are not sure about the actual performance yet. If the architecture is much faster than the current gen then it won't matter which memory it uses. Anyways, I have got a 980 Ti. You can see my new setup in my other thread.
