On another note - What's the point of DP1.3 on this card?

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
If the 1080 can be had for 550 I don't see what the issue is.
Hopefully some of the custom cards will come out around this price or even less.
Yeah people are having a knee jerk reaction to the founders edition...

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.
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.
Kind of.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).
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.

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.
