boost? what boost? in an open case it has rolled back to stock clocks when gaming - that's not boost at all.

Pretty much all REF coolers do this. Without some minor changes to the fan profile.
Like i said EVGA's SC card keeps its boost clocks fine at 1847mhz with custom cooler. Stock profiles etc.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what BIOS modders do, but if there's any truth to the claim that even hardware mods are proving unsuccessful in removing the lock, I wouldn't hold my breath.whats the point of custom beefy cards if voltage is lockedor it will have l2 bios like 680 did for while ...

You're assuming voltage = power.
Both my 980ti's did their best work on stock volts, even the little that afterburner allowed just led to higher temps and instability. Opening up the power limit allowed them to stretch their legs though.

you still get some voltage wiggle room, same as every card. most cards are voltage locked. just depends on how higher much voltage limit is

I have taken a bit of a crazy turn today and am actually considering getting a couple of 1080's (most likely MSI Gaming)
Hmmm... Or do I just get a couple of 1070's save 4-500 quid and wait for big pascal or volta?

Well if you plan to get big Pascal, what do you then need the power of 2 1080's for?
I'd say 2 1070's and then big Pascal is the more sensible option.
+1 I'm in the same situation I'm going to buy 2 1070 then sell them when the 1080ti arrive.
Been waiting for the Anandtech review to go up for the 1070 but noticed that it was already in the bench data base. Ran the numbers for it against the 1080 to see how they stack up at 4K.

Code:
Anandtech GXT 1070 v GTX 1080 Founders Edition 4K benchmarks
26.1 Rise of the Tomb Raider (DX11)
18.6 Dirt Rally
22.4 Ashes of the Singularity (DX12)
24.5 Battlefield 4
27.1 Crysis 3
25.1 The Witcher 3
34.1 The Division
23.4 Grand Theft Auto V
27.1 Hitman (DX11)
25.3 AverageGood find. I'll stick with a single 1080 rather than two 1070s I think.

No, you're mistaking the idea that because company is making a decent profit and is selling a lot of product, that they will somehow decide to slash prices out of the goodness of their hearts. And that overall profits = individual profit margins.
Nvidia is doing so well not only because they're making some sort of profit on cards they produce, but also because they've managed to secure a very big majority of the marketshare in that space of time. It was not previously as big as it is now. And with the growth of the PC gaming sector, it means they are selling a LOT more cards than they were before. Even moderate profit margins with mass quantities adds up to a LOT of overall profit.

Same here I was debating whether to go 1070 sli but the games I play the 1080 has a 25-30% advantage over it so even if sli scales to like 70% it'll be only 40% faster which 10-15% if that can be brought back with an overclock and you won't have to deal with sli issues

That is bonkers power supply right there, apart from one upping the competition that's pointless from my understanding the 1080's power requirements.
I assume you've all seen this right?
Seems the first custom board can't each 2100, due to voltage restrictions on the chip itself!

EDIT: Yes you're totally on it. I shouldn't have doubted you . . . . I beg forgiveness.

Is the GDDRX5 frequency multiplied by 2 or 4? Is the actual frequency 2.5Ghz or 5Ghz?
