1080 vs 1080 TI

**HeavyG** · 10-29-16, 05:27 AM

The 1080 is a monster card. I'm still rocking my 3 x 980s, and will probably upgrade next spring some time. After buying a 1080 for around $700, it didn't perform as well as my 980s, but it still kicked ass. For me to get a superior gaming experience over the 980s, I would have needed to buy two of them, and I just wasn't sold on the cost for very little gains right now.

Will the 1080ti be better? Sure. How much better? I guess we will need to wait for the benchmarks to come out. We should also expect a price drop on the 1080 cards when the 1080ti comes out.

So you're buying the 1080 ti's eh? Alright HeavyG will post the first comparing performance reviews then I see *grin*

I've had a 1080 sitting on my desk for months now. I really should install it and pull my 780Ti.

I plan on buying 2 of them after I move and sell my other house. I'll be redoing my liquid cooling loop at that time, and possibly upgrading my M.2 SSD. Since I am going through the trouble of redoing my loop, I'm just gonna drop 2 cards in so I don't have to redo later.

I am hoping evga does a hybrid of the 1080ti that liquid cools a closed loop. As much as I enjoy the cooling of liquid I still don't want to try the massive job that is constructing a loop from scratch
