I can answer your question from my own experience. I had a 1080 and then upgraded to 1080Ti. Both my 1080 Ti now and previous 1080 were fully watercooled in my custom loop. 1080Ti without overclocking still considerably faster than 1080 both stock and overclocked.

I'd say get a GTX1080Ti. If you've got the funding for watercooling the system, that is actually selecting parts for a watercooled build, then yeah you can go that route however we're going to need to know what you do with your rig.

1080 Ti
No question. You can get a 1070 Ti for just under the price of a 1080 that also performs at 95% 1080 level, but even then, those 2 cards are only $40 difference in price.

I think people are not reading.
If you already have 1080, then don't waste your money on neither option you want. Don't waste money on custom loop and don't buy 1080Ti.
Instead save that up for upcoming next generation of GPUs, if you really want it, although I'm not sure why, but at least that will give you actual biggest boost.

Pretty confident we were all reading.
1) If the option is "upgrade from current 1080 to 1080Ti or spend money on watercooling for vanilla 1080"
-answer is still 1080Ti
2) We have no idea when new cards are arriving and is likely we won't know until we get some form of reliable release date from Nvidia. Everything else is speculation as to price, performance and 'when can I buy one'...just like you mentioned.
3) Custom watercooling isn't a 'waste' if someone feels it is beneficial to them and there are more benefits than just trying to compare to standard air cooling. I don't think that one person has the right to really impart this onto someone else without any form of a real basis.

Depends when the OP wants to buy - a yearly quarter is 3 months. What is the date the new cards are available? What will their performance stats be in comparison? What price will they run in comparison? How good will product stock be when the cards are released - will there be shortages?
The 10-series cards will still be good when the 11-series cards are released. The 10 and 11 series will likely still be good when the 12 series is released with some of both 10 & 11 series being re-branded into 12-series cards. I feel this is simply an argument of 'the new stuff that we know nothing about is a no-brainer choice' instead of already available hardware that can easily be had, today, and for less than what the next-gen hardware will cost.
You win. Buy the 11-series.

I think common sense says that you don't suggest a person that already has 1080 to toss 700 bucks re-buying same generation that is a bit faster. Of course I bloody win - because anyone having a lick of common sense would not upgrade from 1080 to 1080Ti when you have next gen incoming right around the corner.
It would already be questionable whether 1080Ti is worth the $$ over 1080 he already has, but that AND imminent new series release? Durr...

It was more sarcasm than actually conceding.
No one knows what the 11 series is going to be like, how much it will cost, etc. I've seen estimations with the flagship model costing close to $1200-$1500, to anywhere of $800-$1000. And we're speaking initial 'non-Ti' model flagship, much like the 1080 (non-Ti) was. Again, these are all best-guesses and we might get an 1180 Ti for $500, but that's most likely not happening.
Get me the Nvidia-sanctioned spec numbers and the true release date, and I'll agree with you.
