Been eagerly waiting for reviews as I have been considering the 1080 GTX after about 3yrs on a 780, coinciding with a complete system rebuild (2500k to 6700k or Broadwell E).

Hopefully those strongly hinted AIB cards reaching 2.4k or 2.5k overlocks will still materialise as I was hoping to run 4k with strong performance on a new monitor with a single 1080. If they don't I might just buy a (non founders) 1070 for now and wait for the 1080ti before making the jump to 4k.
 
Some really interesting info on the new boost technology and how it relates to performance and the overclocking implications. I recommend reading these pages in full to get the whole idea:

The gist:

"This means that for the first time in GPU history, lower temperatures directly translate into more performance - at any temperature point, not only in the high 80s."

This is going to have big implications on overclocking and cooling. It basically means that even if you've got your clocks set high, if your temps aren't under control, you're not going to see the performance gain you could. Meaning that cooling and temperature control are going to be KEY, more than ever before, in getting good overclocking performance.

And then there's their overclocking results, which actually do mirror what Nvidia said the 1080 could do:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1080/30.html

They were able to achieve a 2100Mhz boost clock, giving them a quite nice performance boost at the same time.

3rd party card situations are going to be FUN to watch. Those with the best cooling solutions are going to really get an advantage.

I'm failing to see how Gigabyte are going to release a stable 2.4ghz card, even with proper cooling, upgraded components and custom bios I can't see how they're going to get an extra 300mhz on the core.

The difference between reference 980ti's and the custom cards on average was probably 100mhz.

Excellent articles. Anyone concerned at overclocking results should read it in detail.

It will definitely take time for people to learn what the best settings are for the 1080. ts a whole new technology, tweaking Overclock values at different voltage levels.
