Not really sure...I will bet that the gap narrows some with driver optimization.
 
Edit: There is another price to be paid...the Titan X Pascal is REALLY LOUD when running...the 1080 FTW is pretty darn quiet.


I have mine finally and can say yes, that thing is a jet plane!!! lol. Ordered waterblock tonight.

No, i worked until 7pm, then got home and got called out at 7:30 ,, but man its so sweet. Was pegging at 80deg C though with fan on high and +100 on core and +150 on ram. Think the clock sustained 1947. Water will make this thing fly!

At the end of the day, even if you have the disposable income, think about the price/performance ratio. Think about the message you're sending to nVidia by shelling out $1200.00 for it. What will they charge for the "Titan X (Volta)?"
 
Forget that. I'll enjoy the performance of the 1080 and move to a 1080 Ti this January.

Good for you!
 
I have a 1080 FTW and a Titan X P...love both cards...but the Titan X P SMOKES the 1080 FTW...and both are heavily overclocked.
 
My main use is folding, followed by gaming.  The message I am sending to NVIDIA, is that I love their hardware.
 
I'll skip the 1080 Ti...the Titan X P is way faster than this card will be...and not a worthy upgrade from a 980 Ti or 1080...and I'll buy Volta when it comes out.
 
Why change out the hardware so often you ask?  Well, my folding rigs draw about 1.1 KW of power...24/7...  I increase my folding output by upgrading to the latest hardware...rather then building another rig to draw 650 W.  The payback on a $1,200 investment at my electric rates is about 8 months.
 
Why do I fold...that's a personal matter...

I sent my 1080 FTW back to newegg. ksnngnow I am surprised you didn't get the black screen issue. Lot of hit and miss on that. ericc191. I hardly ever buy the latest and greatest, so I figured it was time to treat myself, and I do not regret it. waterblock has shipped and I will enjoy those temps in the 50's!

I spent a bit of time walking through the 1080 FTW...span fin up...black screen thread.  I counted about 75 people complaining about the problem.  Assuming they built their PC correctly, have done their troubleshooting correctly, have a stable CPU/memory overclock, a proper power supply, etc...I think "hit or miss" is a bit strong...it looks like there was a bad delivery of boards.  I link a decent percentage of the people reporting the issue are trying to "trade up" on the silicon lottery for free.
 
Nevertheless, EVGA tech support has been awesome to these guys...as always.
 
And, the Titan X P is fantastic...just need to figure out how to quiet the hair dryer (without dropping $500 on a custom loop that I'll have to maintain...too busy for that).
