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.

With two separate chips means they can cover wider price range, and If this really is another 780Ti (a full chip top dog) maybe Vega10 is that good. But I have my doubt it's gonna use full GP102, not enough leak to guesstimate
Nvidia will not launch a GeForce of a higher binning than the current Titan X (Pascal) until they have a higher Titan ready, so GTX 1080 Ti will be a slightly more "cut" version, most likely featuring higher clock speeds.
1725 Graphics Device (GP100-B)
172E Graphics Device (GP100-B)
172F Graphics Device (GP100-B)
So what if GP100GL-B is that Quadro P100 and GP100-B is actually Titan P100(Tesla p100s are GP100-A)?
If you dig through the drivers you'll see that there's three codes for GTX 1070, GTX 1080, etc. We can't guess the binning based on these codes.
GTX 1080 Ti was planned for end of 2016 but was postponed due to the supply of GP102 chips, Nvidia can't even make enough to meet the demand of the expensive Titan X (Pascal) and Tesla models, so we can't expect too much from the 1080 Ti.
BTW, there is also the following:
So there's already driver support for something coming next year…
