Hardware 1080 Ti announced

I really dont see a need for this GPU. I wonder if an i7-7700k would bottleneck the GPU. It just seems too powerful for real world usage.

Why wouldn't you see the need ? I'm btw also building a new ryzen based pc and selling the old one with the 6700K and 980 Ti so.

GPUs are primarily used for gaming. If the GTX1080 and Titan are already maxing out your games why do you need a 1080ti? Are you ever going to use all those GB's of VRAM? If your playing the latest PC game are you really going to hit maximum GPU usage? Maybe future proof but it seems like an odd time to release a more powerful pascal.

The worst part, i switched from a Core 7 and 16 gb of ram.
I'm stuck with a Core Duo (or something like that) and 2 gb of ram.

same except I have 4GB ram

No they don't. Especially the 1080 doesn't. I'm using a 4k monitor and Always use 4k resolutions. A 1080 doesn't handle 4K perfectly when a 1080Ti will do so a lot better. Plus like i said, i'm using a 980TI at the moment since i didn't see the need to upgrade from a 980Ti to a 1080. I was waiting for the 1080TI

Needed for the high fps 1440p lot as well. Not everyone is targetting 60fps.

1080 falls short of 120/144fps a lot of the time at that res, ti should be able to make.

There's definitely a need for this card for a section of the market. Might be a small section, but it's still there.

I think there's no reason to change your i7 cpu, it's still great unless you aim for editing or encoding videos.

It's perfect for your needs, afaik even titan xp struggles at 4k on some games (maybe bad porting). Still a beast gpu, I would think of buying it not before i see vega.

i"m a pc enthousiast so i upgrade all the time

How do people afford this shit <.<

I'll stick to mid-tier GPUs.

Still looks hot though.

The price of nvidia 1080 dropped to 499 euro, not bad. I might consider this gpu for qhd instead of the ti version.
