980Ti will not be faster than Titan X if released. Making the 980Ti faster than Titan X would hurt flagship sales.

Interesting how NVidia will market the 980TI with the higher clock speed but less vRam(6GB).
 
If this is indeed true, i'm waiting for the 980TI as i won't be needing more then 6GB of VRam unti
i go 4K..and even then i'm not sure i'll need it. 
 
Also i can SLI the 980TI for some $600 less in cost.
 
This may well be another case where the Titan is outperformed by the XX80TI model but still has a higher
price point.
 
Personally, i'm not risking 1K on the Titan-X until i see what the 980TI is priced at and if indeed the faster
gpu.
 
I got burned before with the Titan and the 780TI released later in 2013 for some $350 cheaper.
 
But that time 6GB was important for a 2 yr gpu, and i'm not sure if over 6GB is really needed in
the near future?
 
Your thoughts?

I highly doubt NV is going to release a card that outpaces the Titan X only 3 months later while being cheaper.  They're not dumb, they know that's going to burn bridges with the type of high end buyers who spend $1000 on a card in the first place.  If they wait 6 months then it at least gives them an out.

 I thought so too, but with the 390 being seemingly faster, maybe NVidia has no choice?
 
 Also, some gamers will still opt for the Titan-X for it's huge 12GB of VRam. And
one current game(COD) does use almost 8GB of vRam in 4K.
 
 If i was to go 4K, i'd opt for a SLI Titan-X and OC the heck out of it as for me i always like
to have more then enough vRam. 
 
 But i'm upgrading next yr again, and i'm stuck in 1080p and VR(rift and Steam's Vive) which 
seems like max of 1440p and 2400*1080p and 90hz, so performance is key and 6GB is more
then enough.
 
 Still..it's a guessing game until the 980TI arrives.

9 month gap between the OG Titan and 780Ti.  They either need to wait for 6 months to release a 980 Ti or they need to release it with a gimped GM200 die so it's slower than the Titan X.  Otherwise they're basically saying "don't buy our flagship on release, just wait 3 months and save $250".

I think games like The Witcher 3 will use a boat load of VRAM, but it's going to depend on what resolution you game at of course.  I think unless you're gaming at 4k, the Titan-X is kind of being wasted.

It depends on AMD.  Let's say 390X is slower than Titan-X, then 980Ti will be slower than Titan-X.  but if 390X ends up pretty close if not beating Titan-X despite not having as much Vram, what should we suppose nVidia will do about that?  Simple: Cut the Vram in hal and up the clocks.  The idea is to prevent competition from taking advantage of a void left behind, except in the least likely case competition might get really close to the top dog.  We don't yet know what AMD will charge for 390X, it will no doubt be cheaper or the performance, so nVidia will lose the "best bang for buck" crown, but they would prefer to keep the "best bang" folks.
