I was tempted by the 6 pin and waterblock as soon as. This time around I think I'm going to wait for a decent 6+8 pin. EVGA Classified. Run them on air until EK release some custom waterblocks.

Completely depends if they get a cheaper 6+8 pin reference SC editions out first I'll grab them. After all will be on waterblocks either way. Will not be buying the 6pin FE though.

Agree. A 6+8 pin will hopefully overclock much better, and recoup some of the ground against an overclocked 980ti.

Having owned windforce 460's, 670's, 780's and msi 650 and the twin frozr Ti in sig. The coolers on all of theese cards have been consistently good. The msi being a good bit quieter due to using two larger fans.

+1

I own an MSI Gaming 970 and it's probably the quietest thing in my rig. Even overclocked and on load, I can't hear the difference and I've never noticed temperatures above 70. Granted I do have a ton of case fans, one of which is blowing directly onto the GPU itself. That sort of set up might be better suited to a blower cooler. Maybe I should turn that fan around...

News about 1060 though? This could make thing tricky for AMD... or Nvidia release at least one of their next gen parts at a decent price.
 
I watched the Nexus ghetto mod review and water is looking good and he had to drop the mem clocks to get more voltage for the core clocks, so it would certainly pay to get a 8+6 pin board.
 
There does seem a minimal gap closing at 4k.

This is probably due to the fewer Cuda Cores over the Titan / GTX980TI.

But still. 60fps is ALMOST possible on a single card playing the Division.

ALMOST!

Read the wrong chart - oops.

But it is only 25% faster - are people getting that excited for a 1.5 node shrink??

The reference GTX980TI they tested could only hit 1.455GHZ and the GTX1080 2.050GHZ it appears.:p

What were your expectations? The 1080 will be the mid-high range card in 6-12 months so that seems pretty good. A TI and Titan will be what, 30-50%?

The gains seem pretty good overall. Some games great, others just ok. Maybe its Nvidia's fault by how they are placing it by releasing it first and the price.

Expectations seems too high though.

I'd guess more like 60-75%. If not a bit more. Look at the difference between GP104 and GM204(and GP104 is smaller) to get an idea.

Expectations were mostly quite realistic. But a few people keep trying to pretend that expectations were higher in order to claim they are 'disappointed'.

Apologies if this has been posted.

But this guy tests an overclocked GTX 1080 against OVERCLOCKED cards.

Actually a decent comparison.

A lot of people seem to have missed the fact the 1080 in these tests was set for 100% fan speed. Unless the other GPUs tested were running 100% fan speed to reduce/eliminate throttling (esp 980Ti and TX) then the results should not be taken as accurate. Both Ref 980Ti and TX will throttle a fair bit (10% +) from max OC unless the fan profiles are adjusted to compensate. I would frequently see my 980Ti 1450 OC drop to ~1275 unless a very agressive (and unbearable) fan speed was set.

So the numbers are skewed in favour of the 1080 in this test, unless someone can verify all GPUs were tested at 100% fan speeds. This also means the 1080 was tested under unrealsitic conditions as the vast majority will never run their GPU at 100% speed. It is a good indiciation of what can be achieved with WC.

I think its very impressive since its replacing the 980 not the Titan or 980ti.

The only thing wrong is the price.

the overclocked 1080 is around 75% quicker than a overclcoked 980 and hence is probably equal to 980s in SLI.

To me that is a massive gain this generation and better than I expect tbh.

Just a shame they are not being launched at 980 launch prices as people would be saying "great job" and "wow, amazing"

I agrre with you. But with so many people on here saying "IM buyin one whateva tha price"

Are you surprised they jacked it up?
 
They know people will buy it. If I was selling a product that I knew people would lap up, I'd price it highly too.

We need AMD to help us on the competition front. Competition is the only thing that will make nvidia price more sensibly.
