NVIDIA Counts Down to GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Launch
NVIDIA's GeForce.com website today was updated to greet us with a curious-looking countdown to evening, February 28. The countdown goes with the caption "It's Almost Time," with "Ti" in bold lettering. This just about confirms launch of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, NVIDIA's next high-end graphics card based on the same "GP102" silicon as the TITAN X Pascal. It remains to be seen if the company endows the SKU with more CUDA cores than the TITAN X Pascal, or less. A lot will depend on what NVIDIA's product managers learned about AMD's upcoming Radeon Vega.

This time it seems very serious, titanium serious....
This would be noteworthy if it would push other prices down. But it's a niche product that will be slotted between other existing ones. Again.
Still, the more, the merrier.
I would agree though this isn't that exciting, hell even the GP102 has been out for ages now in the form of the Titan XP and even that isn't the full chip.

Still, DSR won't enhance old games because old games tend to have the resolutions they support hard coded in. And if textures are bad, no amount of DSR will fix that. DSR simply provides an alternative to AA. Fwiw, I stopped using DSR because it messes up the icons on my desktop.
So my guess is Vega10 between GTX1080 and Titan XP with Vega11 between GTX1080 and GTX1070
Speaking selfishly, I'd love the 1080ti to match Titan Xp cores but have the higher power draw and clock speeds.
I am excited to see what this card can do!
