Nvidia Launches GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Countdown
As you guys know, Nvidia will be launching something at an open event next week, March 1st. Interesting is that a countdown times just launched and Nvidia places a small puzzle in there. Hey I am good at deductive reasoning, albeit this is a no-brainer.
The background materials are obviously Titanium crystals. So yes, we now know with near absolute certainty that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is being launched. The Ti could be roughly up-to 30% maybe 40% faster compared to a regular GTX 1080 in the higher resolutions. So let's have a peek: in the introduction teaser you can see growing Titanium crystals.
Then in the count-down screen you can see time with the ti nice phat in bold. And once you look at the HTML code of the website well that's where thing get even more clear :)
The GTX 1080 Ti will be powered by a GP102 chip with likely 3328 activated shader processors. Clock speeds should sit in the 1.5 GHz ranges with boost at say 1.6 GHz, we expect values close to the GeForce TitanX Pascal but being the Ti edition, traditionally it would be clocked faster - likely a good 100 Mhz higher. The memory would be 10 GB on a 384-bit wide memory bus at effective clock rate of 10 GHz. The TDP of the card would be with in the 250 watt range.
Below an (indicative) table overview.

Volta is rumored for Q1 2018 at the earliest, which would put it a year from the 1080Ti release date, which is the same length of time between the 980Ti and 1080. I don't recall anyone calling 980Ti owners "damn noobs/terribly disinformed" for buying them.

Hilbert, can you post a list of recent games that successfully scale up with 1080's in SLI? Not much point in buying two if they don't generally scale up.

It's more like 30% faster taking in the alleged count of cores.

Just a marketing trick. nVidia build like 75 pieces of it.
One should be a damn noob (or a terribly disinformed fella) to buy this card, considering the fact of Volta being just 'round the corner. To buy a card at that price tag (200$ more than "regular" 1080) which will probably be Volta upper model's price tag too...
