GTX 1080 Pre-Orders

[Gregster]

If you were me. Would you sell your GTX970 and replace it with the 1080?

This is all I'd like to know

I would.

 

[samhain]

A GTX1070 for around £350 which is apparently a Titan X killer, that is great news - £5-600 quid for a card too hot for most people, £350 that's where the smart money will go

 

[dragos1977]

IMHO i think you wish thay will be 350....it will be mre like 420-450.

ok when the 980 1st got released how long was it till the 980ti got released?

so when the 1080 gets released end of May 2016 how long will it take for the 1080ti? is it one year or more?

 

[Amatsubu]

Haha i am over don't care someone was moaning and then saying he getting a 1070 which is crazy.

And why wouldn't I? And what's so crazy about it? The 970 has performed exceptionally well for me and still does. If you consider a lighthearted remark about Nvidia's ****-up "moaning" then I don't even... Some of you people are a touchy bunch, really.

As if making sure the specification is in line with what's advertised before jumping the gun was something bad.

It was 8.5 months between them.

18/09/2014 to 2/06/2015

Also notably the Titan X was 17/03/2015, so only 6 months from 980 to TX.

 

[Itchytrigg]

Hmmmmm I have 41 days remaining to "step up" with EVGA, what are chances they put a 1080 on the program in that time? I have the 980ti right now so if there's a performance boost for a modest price difference, why wouldn't I?

 

[queamin]

I think it is a different tier, 970-1070,980-1080 and 980ti-big pascal, but I can be wrong.

 

[Outcasst]

They took the pre-order information page down... too much interest?

 

[colinmcr]

I couldn't find it either and I'd linked from WCCF story.

 

[DarrenM343]

Link still there. Think there were two on the front page of this thread, one has been removed so use this:

Still on GDDR5? What happened to HBM?

 

[Jono8]

IMHO i think you wish thay will be 350....it will be mre like 420-450.

Official pricing is from ~ £315 for the 1070....

No wishing involved, that is the mrsp.

 

[Ayahuasca]

HBM2 is being reserved for the big cards on both Pascal and Polaris.

 

[GFX-Kid]

HBM2 is being reserved for the big cards on both Pascal and Vega.

Fixed that for you

 

[Ayahuasca]

Well nobody knows yet, Polaris is compatible with HBM2 but yes it will most likely be Vega.

Only just got a 980TI. How much faster is the 1080 expected to be?

Probably 20% but won't know for sure until reviews come out.

If you can, return your 980Ti immediately. You will be able to get a 1080 with that money, or pocket the change and go for a 1070 which will likely perform same or close to an 980Ti, but will have 2gb extra vram, run cooler and quieter using less electricity and get better support via drivers going forward.

A no brainier if you able to return it.

They said at Nvidia live event 1070 is faster then a TitanX

Yes, but hard to trust those guys to be fair. Let's wait and see the numbers.

That said, easyrider is saying it will definitely be slower Lol
