It looks like xmas came early this year...
nVidia annouced their new flagship gfx card, the 1080GTX, reportedly faster than 2x 980's in SLI and faster than the Titan X, at a much more affordable price point!
get the story here
I'm starting to seriously consider an eGPU solution, especially if the above is true and there are no confilcts with the current laptop system. Else just build a render slave with one of the new generation gfx cards in there...

Please beware of the smallprint here!
The GPU is
only faster then 2x 980's in SLI in some special VR scenarios,
not in general!
Also please keep in mind that for gaming (and VR) SLI setups of two GPUs doesn't scale linear, adding a second GPU doesn't giveya +100% performance... maybe 50%, totally depends on the game.
Here a Graph from Nvidia presentation:
Also the price seems also not to be the one you pay in the end... stay here tuned for actual availability of the HArdware.

Also curious to know the OpenCL performance that's what matters for Indigo rendering, something different from DX12 performance.

From first leaked OpenCL performances didn't appear GTX 1080 it's a so exciting release

10% better than Fury X and 12% better than GTX 980Ti it's not a game changer IMHO

Also appear not to be shining in Luxmark

In the second the bench is against the R9 Nano, given the average +8% performance of Nano vs Fury X we have an average +15% performance of 1080 vs Fury X, again really good but not stellar.
