epixoip is saying wait. But I'm not sure which ones will be coming out. The thing is, for the price the 1080 ti, it is a great card, fast, lots of cores, and a bunch of memory. But it doesn't seem to get along with OpenCL very well. It's possible they need to just fix their OpenCL version, or add extensions that allow getting around timeout issues and such. I need to find out from the manufacturer if they have upgraded the dedicated version they use - or are just copying it without matching to the card - most likely that. I'm not sure I understand the basis for the objection to these cards. I get the OEM is based on previous versions, and they cut corners, but usually in the process they run regression tests for new hardware and then certify it afterwards before selling it. It costs too much to do a recall otherwise. They found that out on the GTX 970 when they botched the memory - I got $30 bucks back on that one. But that 970 card is a solid card - I have had no issues other than that - still, it's slow compared to the newest 1080 ti. It would be nice to have a list of acceptable cards - one that has the right model of 1080 on it.
