Looks good, Will pick up a 1080

Would be interesting to see what a 980 at 2.1Ghz would get compared to 1070 2.1Ghz

A TitanX is 6.3 TFlops at stock speed of around 1000MHz but overclock it to 1500MHz and the Tflops are effectively 9.15.
The 1080 is running at over 1600MHz to get 9 Tflops. What does that say about the Pascal architecture?

Says it's it's pretty good if you take into account the number of SPs.
Not a great deal unless it can clock to ~2100Mhz
That it is quite impressive, considering it only needs 2540 cores to do it and only has a tdp of 180w.
Also, Nvidia have already showed one doing 2.1ghz running very cool and on air.
Would be nice if they tried other high end cards with the Vulcan API too at 1080p such as Fury X, 390X, 390, 970, 980 and 980Ti
Spot on. From what I have read, 2Ghz is easy and a 980Ti needs to run at 2Ghz to beat the 1080. Colour me impressed.
that 2.1Ghz clock is more than likely reachable on only the founders edition, cherry-picked parts when running on air, if at all on normal parts.
They have more than likely made these founders editions because of manufacturing defects being higher than they expected. Considering the base clock is 1.6ghz to 1.8ghz boost.
When they do a refresh at some point, once yields improve, then the entire range will more than likely perform closer to that 2ghz on air.
Since why else would they make a founders edition like this? it is just cherry picking of parts, that is all. And i would not expect large numbers of these cards being available, considering GDDR5X goes into mass production when these parts launch.

Lol, if micron were already sampling to customers in March and planning mass production in "the summer", it obviously means they were already in risk production and ramping. There is going to be a single GPU on the market using it, they will obviously have enough supply to account for a single model.
It sounds like youve been drinking too much of the Charlie koolaid and still thinking that micron saying mass production "in summer" means they cant release a product with it, but this is obviously a wrong assumption
linky?
according to the leak article in the OP http://videocardz.com/59558/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-3dmark-benchmarks:
The 1080 can run higher clocks due to the 16nm process but clock for clock it is slower than the 980ti so the architecture is not really faster with less CUDA cores as someone mentioned. So the fact is that a 1080 will need to run at over 2GHz to match a 1.8GHz 980ti. The stock 1080 just about matches a 1.5GHz 980ti.

Yes. I believe that we will have to wait until end of June/early July before we will see the standard GPU's launched. This is probably a way for Nvidia to claw back some of the extra costs from the poor early yields in the manfacturing process.
What's more is Micron later said they were well ahead of schedule and they expect their Q2 Financials to see a significant boost due to selling GDDR5X at the end of May.
