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 save up now and get the Titan X, you will be saying the same words some months after it releases, because the 1080ti will be released.
This is nothing new, and is normal for PC hardware. Anyone who gets psychological satisfaction at having the best thing available will need to upgrade their rig every few months, indefinitely.
Also, the Titan X costing $400 - 600 more than the GTX 1080, while delivering 25% more performance does not make the 1080 outdated. The 1080 is still the fasted meant-for-gaming GPU on the market, until the 1080ti comes along, which everybody expected to come either within this year, or early next year, since before the 1080 released.
I'm glad that we're finally seeing some classic forward-movement in PC GPU hardware, after so many years of wasteful and non-satisfying stagnation. I hope that there will be a 1080ti, and that it will be another 25% faster than the Titan X.
