GTX 1080 Benchmarked

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?

It says that Nvidia designed Pascal to achieve high performance through high clockspeed. Nothing wrong with that. CPU's did the same with their long and short pipelines.

Only worry I would have, with the high clockspeeds, is the potential for coil-wine.

There is a Pelly_NV on Steam and AVS forums that don't strike me as an NVidia employee.

My post is about evidence that the Pelly_NV who uploaded the AoTS result is probably the Pelly_NV on twitter who is an Nvidia employee. In what way is your mentioning of a PellyNV account on AVS or Steam relevant to the current discussion? Does anyone mention their employment details in a steam account?
The Pelly_NV with a twitter account who works for Nvidia is more likely to have a 1080 sample. I'm pretty sure Nvidia will be testing on all types of games and in this case the result has been uploaded.

Are you just trying to distract from the blatant evidence we have here and a legit AoTS result by any chance?

As mentioned before the 1080 may not be running at it's proper clockspeed or drivers are immature, etc hence the low result but the fact is that the result is there and cannot be faked afaik.

People need to stop being so gullible to believe all the PR from AMD or Nvidia. Remember the Fury X thrashing a GTX980TI slides?? Best not to get overexcited about the performance until launch lest you end up disappointing yourselves!

Exactly, ill bet that any slide be it AMD or nVidia is very cherry picked!

No, I was giving a counter argument and that is that. I don't really care either way as I own AoTS but purely because it is a DX12 game and thought it worth a buy all that time back (first DX12 game) but if seeing that result makes your uneasiness subside, knock yourself out. You say probably and then later in your argument it turns to blatant evidence, so are you arguing with me or yourself? :p

Any result can be faked btw. In the olden days, you could flash a BIOS on a GPU and change the name of it. Not sure if that is still an option, as I haven't been into overclocking for quite some time and just gamed and gamed.

Those are legit results.

The username search for PellyNV on google leads to this twitter account. Sean Pelletier - Senior Product Manager for GeForce Game Ready Drivers @ NVIDIA

It's pretty safe to say that the benchmark result is real and uploaded by a senior Nvidia employee. The lower than 980ti result is explained by the lower number of CUDA cores. The 980ti/TitanX higher up in the leaderboard will be overclocked of course and the 1080 may be lower clocked too.

There are loads of benches showing it as considerably faster than a 980ti and fury x though so all these ashes benches are pretty meaningless at the moment.
 
The fact he also works for the Drivers team, leads me to think he's probably tuning drivers or something, or maybe testing some new stuff in their drivers, especially if the rumors of no Hardware A-Sync on the cards are true, perhaps they are running the cards without their software tweak to gauge how aggressive they need to be in the software to get to the performance level they want?

People are saying that because desperate to justify their Nvidia bashing and endless "Pascal is 6 months later than Polaris" talk.. "This card that is way faster than the previous gen is not actually faster if you underclock it to values it was never design to run at and you can get Liquid Nitrogen to run the old cards at a 50% over clock...."

Why has it always got to be made about brands on this forum?

In the real world of gaming it sounds like a 1080 will perform beyond anything a 980ti will manage, A lottery winning 980ti with it's max possible overclocks may get close to a stock reference 1080 but that's about it.
It sounds like it'll make a decent upgrade if you can't wait for the big chips and it sounds like AMD won't have a response any time soon so Nvidia won't have to rush out the big guns.
 
I don't think it will be double the performance of a 980 Ti so I think it is safe to say those are fake or something odd is going on!

Yeah, it's still possible to do this fairly easily with re-brands. Like 7850 to r7 265.

A lot more tinkering and hex editing would be needed to change other things though.

Obvious fake. Check the fps counter from the start for JC3 and GTA5 and the numbers are the exact same sequence.

Why do people even do this? :confused:
