[USER=30]@EdZ[/USER] nice post man. 
“Wait “as you say is the best advice at this point unless one is an early adopter, must have the best right now at any cost have cash to burn etc. Then go for it.
The tech excites me but I’ve never been the target for Halo cards. Even now that I’m older ,more established and have the means. I’m happy at the mid/high range price/performance.
Yes as you state the tech in the $1200 2080 ti will trickle down the stack in a few years time. But the price of entry now is insanely high from my point of view. My entire pc which includes all m.2 storage, a flagship mobo and spendy chassis in the CerbX , Vega64 etc is about 1700 all told for example.
This gens Ti is 500 more than last gens Ti. The Titan is now 3k in the Titan V.
Next gen $1500 for the Ti is totally possible. I would love to be wrong here but I’m not too optimistic.
1200+ for one part is never going to be me for my personal fun box. I’d rather go on vacation. This is all one mans opinion of course and I certainly bear no ill to those who go for it. Yolo.
EDIT: for the funny. Hardware Canuks showing a possible Vram limitation at 4K with only 8GB vram. Cherry picked AF of course but something to consider. 1080ti 11gb holding strong. Vega 64 a slim win!?
