I am tempted to squeeze the trigger on a 1080 ti, but I question myself on how much of a increase it will be. dburne, is the performance worth the cost?
My instinct is telling me to wait for the new chipset, and perhaps the "ti" version of the new chipset so it will future proof my system for a while.

1080 is at £499 which is Nvidia's MSRP after the 1080Ti £100 price drop, so they are at their bare minimus now.

just had a look at NewEgg out of curiosity. The actually have stock of a variety of GTX 1080s, at somewhat reasonable prices--they're in the same range that I paid for mine 2 years ago, so they're still high compared to where they should be after this much time has passed. (Actually, didn't the 1080s get a price cut when the 1080Ti released?)
Anyway, glad I grabbed my 1080 when I did. We'll see what the new line-up of cards is like soon, but at this point I don't foresee any need to upgrade for quite a while yet.

I oversample with my 1080, so 4k res on a 1080p monitor, makes a huge difference in texture clarity

@LZoltowski - Here's the thing that I can't get my head around. Lots of people say that 4k is a waste of time unless you are gaming on something bigger then a 42" screen. Because you don't notice that much of difference between 1080p and 4k on a 27 inch monitor..
