No GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Announcement at CES

i dare to bet many will wait for 1080ti first before jumping on vega.

Real enthusiasts go for the fastest available regardless of manufacturer. At least that's what I've observed. Most do have preferences, but don't stick to one company or another if the competition has a better product.

So NVIDIA couldn't be bothered with a flagship 1080 Ti card that there's pent up demand for? They must really not be afraid of AMD.

Hopefully AMD will surprise everybody and release a card that handily beats the 1080 and forces NVIDIA's hand, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't think there's much improvement to be gained. Just look at the current pascal titan. Increasing the cuda core count is probably more trouble then it's worth, otherwise they would have announced a 1080 ti.

that's why i said they will wait. they will want to make sure which card will going to be the fastest first before making that decision. i saw it with GTX580. when nvidia launch GTX580 some people did not jump the gun. instead they wait for AMD to finish 6970 first. but the second they know 6970 did not beat nvidia GTX580 they did not hesitate to get GTX580.

Personally I'm no longer interested in top-of-the-line cards. Nowadays you pay 700-1000$ for one of those, and a year later they're worth 200$ on ebay. This is why I went with a GTX 1070. Got it for ~450$ on sale -witch is more then what I wanted to pay for a video card - but I got it hoping 4k monitors will become affordable this year and I'll be able to enjoy it. If they don't, I'll have made a huge mistake since most games will happily run on a 4GB RX 480 (at 1080p / ultra + a little aa here and there) witch I could have gotten for less then half of what I payed for my 1070.
