From eyeball perf/pricing, it looks roughly like the Pascal is 50% faster for twice the price. Which isn't surprising from the mass-market to specialized transition.

You're also paying for the Titan XPs 12GB of VRAM, which is overlooked by the common canned benchmarks that easily fit in the 1080s 8GB.

50% more RAM for 2x more. Same formula!

so ... 50% more RAM and 50% more speed for 100% more money?

honestly, this doesn't seem like a big issue.
