lol talk about cherry picking of the highest order. You are complaining about features that no gamer actually benefits from. All that matters is the performance number. The RX 480 has more features than a 390 but practically they are the same cards. The 1070 has more features than 980Ti but practically the same cards.No most GPU releases have new features. This offers nothing but a price cut and slight reduction on a 7 month old GPU.
1080 still had better price/perf

Just because the 1080 rests higher on the chart at release doesn't mean it's better price/performance. Techpowerup's chart is garbage anyways since they stick to MSRP of even very old cards which makes no practical sense.
And I don't look at price/performance in such an absolute manner at the high end. The Ti is 30% faster than it's nearest competitor and 40% more expensive. That to me is actually a win.
The 1080 was 25% faster and 60% more expensive than it's nearest competitor at launch. Now that's bad from any value perspective especially provided that the 1080 didn't even have more VRAM unlike the 1080Ti.
