What to Expect from NVIDIA Corporation’s Next $1,200 Graphics Card

The 1080 Ti is, per the company, 35% faster than its previous generation GeForce GTX 1080 flagship graphics processor and even manages to edge out its $1,200 Titan X. A reasonable way to think about the 1080 Ti, then, is as a significant price cut on the Titan X. However, NVIDIA is surely going to want to have something viable to sell at the $1,200 price point since there’s little point in buying the current Titan X with the 1080 Ti available for sale. Here’s what I expect NVIDIA’s Titan X replacement is likely to be.

The Coolest VR Headsets at GDC Aren’t for Sale
