    I watched some videos online which reviewed the performance. Seems like a substantial upgrade over the Titan X. Of corse the reviews tested it on non-sim games.

    How much of an improvement would you guys think this has over a GTX980 for racing sims? Is it worth the upgrade for someone running triples?

    Having a 980 I'd wait the second 'wave'. There will surely be an increase in performance fom the same chip (as it happened with the 7xx series and the following 9xx)

    Guess what my wife said? Huh? Guess. Just Guess, huh? (Yep, she said...go ahead and get one honey) MUAHAHHAHHAAA (A GTX 1080 not a MicroCenter...that would be really hard to do....I could rent some heavy equipment I guess....)

    I've got a good deal on a Titan X (friend won it in a comp but only uses a laptop).

    I'm not sure if I should give up the good deal and get a 1080.

    I think I am going with the 1070 as well. Once I saw the reviews yesterday the value per frame is just too good to pass up. I already have two gtx970s (driving pit and flight pit respectively) and like them very much. The 1070 would be an excellent chioce as an upgrade in my desktop pc.
