Well I've just tried 3 times to order a Titan XP from NVidia.com and I keep getting
 
"Payment authorization failed, please try again or use another payment method."
 
Address is correct etc etc., there is enough credit on there to buy 10 of those cards, and I don't want to use another card because I get cashback points... grrrr.  Guess NVidia just lost a $1,200 sale (actually just over $1,300 with tax). Back to the 980Ti and maybe see if a 1080Ti comes out?
 
I'll give it one more try.
 
 
          **a few minutes later**
 
 
..LOL, guess they heard me.. 4th attempt worked.  
 
Soon to be a Titan XP owner    -something I hope I won't regret in a few months if a 1080Ti comes out with same specs for $300 less. 
 
I just hope EVGA don't change their mind about making a AIO cooler for the Titan XP after saying they definitely will be, just no ETA yet... that was what pushed me over the edge to go for it (well that, and being up to RMA#3 on the 1080 Hybrid and going for a refund instead)..

Cool glad it worked the 4th time!! 
I really doubt they will change their mind as they annonced the hybrid kit way back in July and still they confirmed it again last week...
 
Right now evga seems to be strugling to release a lot of product they annonced. Not only the aio but the 1080 hydrocoper, keyboard soundcard power connector adapter ect...
 
So whith that in mind this is not only the part we need. In some way it is positive..
 
And the titan x is really a powerhouse. Dont worry youll have all the power you need!! >:)

 
  looking forward to it.

Welcome to the club mate! I don't think you'll regret buying this card. You are paying for premium and quality. However, you might get a bit frustrated with the acoustics if you're running it with the stock cooler. It's loud. But then again, the hybrid kit is coming.

Regarding the 1080 Ti. That card is probably going to be cheaper than the Titan XP and have more "performance for the money". But it will probably not be better than the Titan XP even though it'll probably be very close in it's performance.

The Titan XP overclocks like a beast though. Even with the stock cooler.

Please do post a short review and/or an opinion whenever you get the card! Would love to hear what you think about the card!

You at least had a dremel, i used one of these  in the sink ;)

OMG what is wrong with the NVidia billing system? Received email this morning advising my order has been "declined because of incorrect or incomplete billing information provided during the checkout process."
 
Their system forced me to used the address they recommended instead of what I usually use - I live in an apartment and usually the apartment number goes on the address line 2, but they insisted it should go on line 1 after the street address, so I can only guess that is the problem as my credit card provider has already verified the transaction.
 
I had to put the order through again just now, and again used their version of my address.
 
My guess is that their 'security' checks MUST have the apartment number on the same line as the street address, and my bank probably has it on a separate line, therefore rendering it impossible for them to match on the address and thus reject the order. If my order gets rejected again, I'll take it as a sign and just stick with my 980Ti.
 
Idiots who write security check software and don't figure for something as basic as this... 
 
 
..oh awesome, and I now have 3 pending charges for $1,306 each on my credit card...
 

So I guess to me, this is a bit frustrating.  The 1080 gets the golden treatment with custom PCBs and coolers and the Titan XP, the enthusiast card, gets placed aside.  Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for this hybrid kit from EVGA for the Titan XP, but shouldn't this card get some form of special treatment?  I mean this is the ultimate card for gamers.  Granted, it easily can qualify as overkill, but that's the point!  I understand that not nearly as many people order Titan cards, but they are the enthusiast/premium product.  I am really unhappy with Nvidia for not allowing third-party access to this card after jacking the price up another $200 from last gen.  They know as well as we do that 70-100% fan speed for a decent overclock is not ideal.  There must be someone at Nvidia with one of these cards thinking, "What if it didn't have to sound like a jet taxiing on a runway when I overclock it?"
 
I guess I'm also disappointed this hybrid kit almost certainly won't include the nice EVGA fans that are on the hybrid version of the 1080 FTW edition due to the size difference in PCB.

It isn't a huge deal, but the noise reduction would be nice.  In my mind, even though not many units are sold for Titan cards, there are still a good number of people that want the best and Nvidia treats this card in a way that just doesn't make sense.  There is a lot of potential to a custom PCB and cooler for a Titan XP.  I really hope we get surprised by EVGA and Nvidia, but that seems extremely unlikely.  It would just be very interesting to see the GP 102 pushed to its maximum potential.
 
Sorry for the rant, but it really disappoints me to see how enthusiasts are treated by Nvidia.

Don't buy the 1080, wait for the 1080TI. If you're looking for an alternative, wait for the 1080TI.

Looking at Q2 2017 for 1080TI.  Quite a ways out.  I will be getting two Titan XPs.  Just waiting for the hybrid kits now.  Just disappointed by the approach Nvidia is taking currently.  In an ideal scenario for enthusiasts who don't want a custom loop, we would get a custom PCB Titan XP with the EVGA FTW Hybrid style cooler.  Unfortunately, that won't happen.  One can dream though...

Wow, Q2 2017 ... Guess that gives me time to save up
