You guys are forgetting what R9 nano did with single 8 pin and 28nm manufacturing process, those cards with more optimization and 14nm process could provide amazing efficiency,
You can already get a TitanXP that beats even non-reference 1080ti's pretty easily

Titan Xp - 3840 cuda cores, 12GB GDDR5X, 547.7GH/s memory bandwidth
1080ti - 3584 cuda cores, 11GB GDDR5X, 484GH/s memory bandwidth

a new even stronger gpu from nvidia, how greedy, i'm curious about the hashrate on zcash, should be near 800 sol, which is insane, but still the price is too damn high even for that hash

isn't nvidia going to release new remake of their pascal line-up? i see they are called 2070 and 2080, maybe a monster called 2080ti also? all the website say that the specs show that the gpu are 10% faster than current pascal, could be worth to wait for that before buying, but the real game changer will be volta for nvidia and high end polaris for amd, still a long way to go for that
I think we need to see were VEGA goes.... I think in the near future the new cards are just gonna be optimisation then may be dual ship cards ? ( as they're more and more efficient they will produce less heat then may be 1 ship will run so cool that you can do a dual gpu card, like a "sli integrated" card 
)

I say eventually, it will come down to optimization and power consumption (performance per watt). Because there is only so much speed that a chip can push.
Look at intel for example, as their CPU evolves, their speeds are always like at a wall, like 3Ghz, 4GHz, and etc. You don't really see them releasing a 5Ghz+ CPU as they evolve. What they do is optimize their CPU and increase the core counts for multi-threading.
So maybe, down the road once that wall is hit, I say they are going to be like dual 1080 ti in the same watt usage and size as today's single 1080 ti for example.

Okay I just got what is one of the fastest ZEC mining gpus in the world a Nvidia AORUS 1080 ti
It does over 700 h easy with good power numbers.
It has 11gb ram
and the
"Pascal" architecture, the 16 nm "GP102" silicon.
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GTX_1080_Ti_Xtreme_Gaming/
So how far can gpus go before they hit a wall
10 nm most likely could be a wall of sorts we could be there for 2 or 3 years
if that happens does nvidia expand ram to 16gb? or prehaps 24gb?
This is not AMD vs Nvidia.
I will delete posts like that
What I want is ideas on gpus over the next 2-4 years.
I think we will sit at 10nm a long time
which means ram increase and faster ram may be the future for gpus.
Any ideas or guesses are welcome.
