More Extreme in Every Way: The New Titan Is Here

The 1080 Ti was marginally faster than the previous Titan, while being significantly cheaper. This is a small spec bump to put the Titan back on top, so that people with money to burn still have an excuse to give Nvidia $1200 rather than $700.

If you ask me the 1080 Ti is still a better choice, but there are always a few people out there who just have to have the very fastest thing and Nvidia is happy to take their money.

I keep my eye on the Folding@Home spreadsheet of GPUs and their price/performance ratios, updated with price changes regularly. My 2012 Mac Mini going full blast does about 5k Points Per Day (PPD), while the Titan X Pascal does 1200k, but performance per Watt is the key metric. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v5gXral3BcFOoXs5n1M6...
