King of what? Overpriced video cards?
Lol
It gives the highest hashrate of the cards available today. In that sence its king.I think the new VOLTA card from Nvidia will overtake this position. We'll have to wait and see! Pascal is now 1.5 years old, should come something new soon.
It also has the longest ROI of any new card:

The new Volta gaming cards may take over as most overpriced when they come out. Switching to a 12nm process will increase the manufacturing costs on the new Nvidia GPU's.

If you're buying the 1080 Ti thinking it's the most profitable card to mine with, then you DON'T know what you're doing. The 1080 Ti is a good card for noobs that think they can make up for their lack of experience with their wallet LOL.
