Nvidia Officially Details GTX 1070 Ti, Opens Founder's Edition Pre-Orders

Volta is most likely very expensive compared to these at least in the beginning, unles amd will release very fast competitor with low price before the release of Volta... (not likely).

I don't think we will see anything out of the ordinary in the pricing structure to performance ratio of the Volta line next year. Maxwell (GTX 9xx) to Pascal in the same series was a significant jump in price, but so was the performance. Take the GTX 970 vs. 1070 for example. The release price of the 970 was $329 vs. $379 for the 1070 for a 15% increase in price.

However, the performance jump was a massive 70% or so across the board of the 1070 over the 970 (and double the VRAM). That was a big win for the consumer. Then there's the same-priced $330 GTX 1060 6GB compared to the 970 that wound up being 10% faster than the 970. And then going back two generations, there was the much more expensive $399 GTX 770 that wound up being replaced by the $219 GTX 960 in performance. So Nvida can be all over the map in both pricing and performance structure among new generations across their series line (x60, x70, x80, Ti's, etc.).

Not big changes, you are quite right in there. Computer people are quite price sensitive, more than phone shoppers, but competition is even there the thing that affect the prices most! And no there seems to be not big reason for Nvidia to reduse prices in short term.

The ti will be a lot faster, as the 500 more cores up the TFLOPs from about 6 to 8.
This won't be possible to match just by ocing a 1070, especially since the ti can be oced as well.
Vram bandwidth is more or less irrelevant as Nvidia introduced new compression algorithm that reduces the need for more, even that pascal is more powerful than previous chip.
And since almost all cards will allow for a 400-500mhz oc on the ram, i dont see an issue for performance besides mayby synthetic benchs that push the card to its limit constantly.

And no one ever said that this is for ppl with pascal cards to upgrade (maybe from 1060 and smaller chips), but this allows me to get a cheaper card than the 1080 while still allowing me to run 1440p "maxed" vs no AA/eye candy with the 1070 i had.
