** The Official Nvidia GeForce 'Pascal' Thread - for general gossip and discussions **

I should relay stop replying to FB comments which say Pascal/Maxwell cant do Async compute, you theirs only so much BS you can handle before you try and correct people

27% faster in DX12 compared with a Fury X at QHD resolution.

Looking good in DX12 to me :D

In fact it is pretty good in most the DX12 so far

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/nvidia_geforce_gtx_1080_review,13.html - 84% faster than a Fury X in Tomb Raider at QHD!
 
If the 1080 can be had for 550 I don't see what the issue is.

Thats what i'm hoping. Had 980's now 980Ti's. Really do fancy something new so i will be finding it very hard to resist the 1080's.

For one thing I wont be buying them for £620. EVGA ones for me with EK waterblocks :D.
 
Well it is what I expected. In fact it is better. Quite surprised that the gap widens as the resolution goes up as well

Look at that, ~40% quicker than the 980Ti in 4k. Looks pretty mighty.

Not one for silly clocks on cards as there is always a game or two somewhere down the line that trips up a large overclock. I would much rather keep it conservative and have rock solid stability, and cool and quiet running.

A lot of people seem to be comparing these reference cards with the single pin connector to the 980Ti custom cooled binnned versions. Not really a fair comparison.

Launch price for the founders edition is silly, obviously. Will wait a few weeks the custom ones and for prices to come down.


Yeha, I don't get what people are saying. It is largely around 40% or more faster in the latest games at 4K than a 980Ti, up to 80% faster than a 980 it is replacing. that i one of the biggest generation jumps we have seen in a long time.

The performance jump is actually larger than what nvidia were telling us at the launch event. i was taking the ~30% with a big pinch of salt but the actual; reviews are showing at least 30% in most games, often 37-44% with new games at 4K. Nvidia actually under marketed this card.



The price is high, but in line with previous best performing cards.

pascal is turning out to be a much faster card than I as expecting, and it sounds like once people and AIBs get a handle for the new boost technology and make cards with a 2nd 8pin connector there are going to be some crazy overclocks and the performance gap will only increase.
 
If you look past all the hyperbole, it's actually a pretty decent increase, especially when compared to the 980, 780 and 680 before that. Roughly a 37% increase over a 980ti at 1440p isn't too bad. Just looking at the Rise of the Tomb Raider numbers makes me want to get one as my 980ti dances around the 60fps mark in this title, so the 1080 should comfortably clear that.

Still undecided though, will most likely wait for the 1080ti and just take the loss on selling the 980ti for absolutely peanuts.

I cannot believe anyone would want to swap their 980Ti for this card after the reviews. There's a small boost in performance, but not enough to warrent an upgrade.

The 1080Ti/TX on the other hand with the new memory is going to be very interesting. It'll be the first real 4K gaming card, think Volta will be the best time to upgrade though.
 
The memory controllers in maxwell were part of the SMXs. Remove some, you remove some memory controllers. If Pascal is similar..
(At least that's how I understood it, let's hope I'm wrong).
Kind of.

Though it should be possible to disable SMM's and leave the memory controllers enabled(or at least at full strength).

I would have hoped they corrected this mistake for Pascal. Though it is a possibility they haven't. Which would be tragic.

It's warrant

Only money matey, Can't take it with you :D.
 
Depends on which reviews you cherry pick, most others have it 20 to 30% faster than a 980TI.

TPU make a big thing about it being 13% faster with an 11% overclock, so from 100% they are getting 120%, right....

Again most others say about 5% to <15% from a 15% overclock

Compared to some older 980TI overclocked benchmarks there is only a sub 5% difference and the 1080 doesn't clock anything like as well as the 980TI.

Reviewers and enthusiasts a like will take from all this what they want.

The facts are its not a all clear cut thats its this amazing world changing super GPU that all the hype is about.
Really its just a typical upstep in performance, and actually a bit 'meh' considering its 16nm vs 28nm, and then there's the price, very much inline with all the hype, only the hype is not warranted, not by a long shot.
 
Can anyone make predictions on what loss would be made if I were to buy an AIB 1080 and sell it once 1080Ti is announced? I know we don't know anything about 1080Ti, but I guess we could estimate the performance jump & price based on the 980-980Ti?

I bought my 970 for £300 and sold it today for £200, so a £100 loss that I don't mind. Just struggling to come to terms with the fact that we may have a 980/980Ti situation with this gen and I'll be left with a 1080 that plummets in price :confused:

We will soon find from people here what the 1080 is capable of.
