Look over on AVForums, saw a couple sell the other day for around £430 each
You mean before the pascal performance and pricing was released.

Part of me would be tempted if I could pick up two for say £450 a pop(new) but it'll still be old sh*te tech
. I mean 28nm, DX11 with DX12 ready support, come on.......... 780ti to 9 series wasn't so hard on the 780ti at the time I don't think but think this change will be on the current (last) gen.
ok thanks Im going to need to wait until the hybrid version is out then unless is runs very very cool
Stuff it I might just buy one anyway LOL

Calm down people, you have been caught in Nvidia's net and all they have is a few non detailed graphs and lots of buzz words. Don't get me wrong the 10 cards sound awesome. However, I think you all ought to hold off on the pre-orders until you see the cards properly benchmarked with games.
You know how they throw all this wonderful stuff out to ensnare you and it seems that only the "Founder" edition is available first....you will all go out and get one then regret it when they pull another fast one in one way or another.
All I am really saying is take your time, wait for the proper benches (DX11 AND DX12) and also wait for AMDs response with Polaris. Polaris 10 may not be aimed at high end but it may give an indication of what is to be expected in Vega.
Don't rush this.....it's still a lot of your hard earned money and you all want to spend it wisely.
Still it was a great shout out from Nvidia and If I am totally honest I kept saying "Holy ****" all the way through the 1080/1070 bits.
But that is what this event was designed to do....no mention of anything DX12 etc....
Okay people, be careful out there....exciting times ahead

What i want to know is will Nvidia now support VESA standard Adaptive Sync with Pascal?
They have no excuse not to now.

AFAIK it still isn't a mandatory part of DP 1.4 - I'm guessing nVidia will hold out as long as they can

We might now start getting TrueAudio in games? Well not TrueAudio thats AMDs name but the same tech its based off. Nvidia just announced
VRWorks Audio
Next NVIDIA Works project: VRWorks Audio, the worlds first physically based acoustic engine. This almost sounds like AMD TrueAudio, which is something we don’t hear much about anymore. NVIDIA said that this is a major upgrade for VRWorks to create more physically-accurate simulations.
NVIDIA then noted that having a common architecture platform has improved production values. All the current consoles use semi-custom AMD GCN GPU solutions, so this is interesting.

You going to sell up and get a 1080? Or wait and see what benchmarks are like? All in all i can't see there being much between them grunt wise.
While we should always wait for actual reviews, there's very little reason to doubt any of the claims overall.
People who didn't think they could do a 1070 that matched/bested a 980Ti, or a 1080 that beat it by 20%+ had obviously just forgotten what a die shrink brings to the table.
But yes, obviously dont put down money til you know exactly what you're getting.

Well, i doubt i will get an answer but.... https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ort-vesa-standard-adaptive-sync-with-pascal-/
Assuming that the DP 1.3/1.4 is all that is needed hardware wise... then yup, no reason for them not to other than greed and locking people into their ecosystem.
2 possible ways they could stop it from happening
1. "pressure" monitor manufacturers to disable the feature on the monitor firmware side (I'd be very surprised if they did this given that intel will be supporting it in the future)
2. disable it in their own drivers, I assume some kid could hack it though....

It wont just be simply disabled. Nvidia would need to write a driver to support it.. Or some clever kid like you say.
we should see a big increase in minimum frame rates. The biggest problem with reviewers in general is they focus on average fps, I expect the reviewers notes for these new cards will encourage focus on minimum fps and frametimes.
I would like to see if clocked the same how much faster the 1080 is but it is insane clocks that is for sure I just wonder what it has left in the tank a how much more it can over clock from out of the box?.
I'm betting without going to silly measures like LN2 people will struggle to top around 2.2-2.24GHz based on what other stuff made on 16nm FF has managed though as per my other post that doesn't directly equate to what can be done with GPUs.
Haha

VESA standards, Free-Sync is simply AMD's software, the hardware is a universal standard, anyone can make their own software to run on Free-Sync screens. the hardware is not licensed to AMD so they have no rights to block other vendors from using the hardware.
The chances of Screen vendors blocking others is next to nothing, as you point out there are potentially other customers for their screens.
Yeah this is hilarious. Just saw one for £440. Seriously?
