780ti =/= 970
980ti =/= 1070
...meaning 1080ti =/= 1170?
also:
given the historical timeline of previous gaps between series, and that a Sept launch for 1170 is
28mo after 1070, we
should be looking forward to 12-series around x-mas... but obviously we're not due to lack of competition. still, the 28mo of gap in new tech should mean a far higher level of performance - like, nearly double the expected gains. (if a 1060 is =/= 780ti, then 1260 =/= 1080ti)
...so for an 1170 (
and esp a 1180, as you said!) to barely beat a 1080ti, esp after the huge wait for this next arch/series, would be a massive disappointment. course,
with no competition, i'm going to guess that all historically-extrapolated logic takes a back seat, and you end-up about spot-on. $800 GTX1180 < 1080ti ...and the only reason to buy it is cause Nvid kneecaps 10-series performance by way of Ray Tracing.
