is an example of models, could be a 650, 760, 780, 980, 1080,1060, 70, for eg, or whatever what is the actual difference between a Ti and non Ti gpu and why is the Ti better ??

Usually the Ti model has more shaders active. nVidia has in the past released the Ti variants after initial release perhaps after yields increase. Over time they have added a bunch of tiers into the graphics card market and raised prices. Currently new mainstream flagship gaming GPUs from nVidia are priced more than AUD$2000 which is ridiculous!

That pretty well sums it up Chris. AMD does the same thing with R9290/290X 390/390X and Fury/FuryX My Fury had 3584 shaders and is unlocked to FuryX specs 4096 shaders. I was lucky it works good a lot can only be unlocked successfully to 3840 and some fail to unlock successfully at all.

yep, and with nVidia, usually the Ti version was released 3-9 months after the initial release of the card series. the RTX2080 and Ti version being released within the same month was sort-of a big deal.
depending on what you are shopping for and the price range that you can afford, I would look for a Ti (for nVidia) or an X (for AMD) versions before I'd look for anything else.

Die failures with the Fury shaders are in 256 clusters that is the reason some can be unlocked to 3840 and some will run with 4096 two sets are disabled by default. Intel does it with CPU's too take E8000 / E7000 series they are 1333 Bus 6MB L2 and 1024 Bus 3MB L2 respectively and they are all Wolfdale cores.

Vin I reckon 1) nVidia are just taking the piss charging mega bucks for "features" that are experimental at best and 2) Released the Ti versions this time because they're spinning their wheels until they can get onto 7nm and since it's coming fast any delay on a Ti release would make even less desirable with 7nm just around the corner.
