I am a bit disappointed, I was one of the people who joked about it last night saying like " Looks like more overtime and neglecting the family again.. " haha I upgraded from 2 x 780s saving while I skipped the 900 series hoping to finally get into a top tier card. I would have waited for the Titan but from Nvida's history they waited longer than 2 months before releasing the titan. So I figure get 2 x 1080s now and I should be happy (Except waiting for my Damn HB bridge). I had 2 x 1080s and on water before launch week was over. But My honest Opinion on Waiting it took me 3 years to save up what I had to drop a ridiculous amount on an outrageous build. Yes it sucks that the Titan Came out as it did but If I kept waiting and waiting I would have never ended up building a rig because it is just with any type of Tech. Tech will get out date the moment you put in your rig and play your first game. I actually anticipated doing 3 way SLI with the 1080s until Nvidia completely dropped that idea. 
 
I jumped on the Hype train for the 1080 got to show off my fancy new cards and got hit by the next hype train shortly after...... Then the original hype train stopped just long enough to throw my HB bridge at my face... when it shows up sometime next week... haha

If you bought an EVGA 1060 or 1070 or 1080 in the first place, just use the step up program. You've got 90 days from the date of purchase (not sure what the ruling is for those that pre-ordered).

Problem solved for the HAVE TO HAVE THE LATEST, FASTEST, AND RIGHT NOW crowd.

Shoot as it is now if you bought a 1080 thats not the founders edition you can probably sell for the same as you bought it for or more and go drop another 700 dollars on the x to be outdated with a ti card that 700 less in 6 months :}

1080 owners have nothing "outdated".
1080 owners have similar results in performance across all flavors of Brands and Versions.
1080 owners REJOICE in the awesome sauce that is Pascal.
The majority of 1080 owners just play video games. There is nothing a 1080 cant handle @ 1440p or less.
 
There is always something around the corner. My 1080 replaced 2x 680s.  And it will serve me well for many years to come.

2x the price for 25% more performance?  I'm not too upset.
 
I'll be upset if the 1080Ti comes out before I get my 1080 step up though..

Actually I hope the 1080ti comes out in the next 60 days, so I can be sorely tempted to step up to it from my 1080 SC. 

And this is exactly why I never buy bleeding edge... because you bleed. Or at least your wallet does. I am sure I won't miss the extra few frames a second on games and bragging rights would only last a few weeks. I can't think of a single thing on this planet that depreciates it's value faster than a video card yet they are treated like some ultra special Pokemon that everyone has to have right now.

Not really. I upgraded from a 580, so this will keep me current for a while. That said, I always saw my 1080 as a holdover card before HBM anyway.

700 is a lot for a holdover card, 1200 is INSANE. Especially considering with the clocks compared to a 1080 seem quite a bit lower. I bet it doesn't even win all benchmarks across the board (which is why I think NVidia isn't actually talking about how it compares to the 1080).

I paid 650 for my 1080, that means for 85% more money I can get 40% more cores for a whopping 20% performance increase? At this point wouldn't getting two 1080s still be a better use of your money?

I was thinking it was 50% more cores but I was a little off so it may only be about 25-27% faster like donta is saying and not 30-33% faster like the old titan x vs 980.

You are ignoring clock speed. Even their claimed perf of 11TFlops vs 9TFlops is only 22%. I don't know why people are expecting amazing performance. If it crushed the 1080, they would have bragged about it.

If benchmarks show it really performs well against a 1080, then I'll likely be getting two Titans.. I don't have an issue with spending the money as long as I'm paying MSRP prices. I just want something available when I want it available.. And as of right now, thanks to Nvidia, EVGA GTX 1080 (SC or FTW cards) are never in stock.. Just need to make sure EK will make a water block for it..

Actually no.
 
It was evident that NV would come out with a new Titan sooner or later, and i was sure from the beginning that i wouldnt get one.
In fact, i just ordered my 1080 FTW after i heard of the new Titan, it somehow made me even more confident in buying a 1080.
 
The new Titan (imho) doesn't even deserve its name. The first Titan was the full featured Chip of its generation, this one is not.
It lacks a good amount of shaders, it complety lacks 64bit precision (in hardware), it has less than expected RAM (12 not 16 GB),
it settled with GDDR5x again, instead of HBM2 and it is considerably slower clocked than 1080s are. Oh, of course it still will be
faster than 1080s, but not as fast as it could have been.
 
And than Nvidia is charging 1200$ U.S. for it before taxes - even for Nvidias already high prices for everyting else, this is rediculous.
 
Comparison:
The EVGA GTX 1080 FTW costs $679.99 in the U.S. Over here in europe with VAT and the usual bump its €769.99. Still expensive, but OK for me.
 
The new Titan X costs $1,200 in the U.S. and will very likely be somewhere between €1,400 and €1,500 over here. Nope, nope, nope and nope.
 

I just upgraded from a 980 Ti Classified to a 1080 FTW 2 weeks ago. Personally, I'm not interested in the Titan but when a 1080 Ti comes out I hope to upgrade again and stick with that card for at least 2-3 years.

Nvidia is planning on launching Volta next year, so Pascal will be over with rather quickly.

i upgraded from gtx 480, you really expect me to wait 2 more month's for an upgrade ? even the 1080 hydro aint out yet, so i am glad i did't wait for that.
