Cheers and this was a little rushed but I will be more precise when I do the full review

Are you using Shadowplay to record? Does that lower the FPS a little? I am just wondering because I am trying to compare results and yours seems a little lower than mine even though my system is nearly identical to yours.

Yep, ShadowPlay and it does lower frames a little. Nothing much mind but enough to make a difference.

Just about to order an FE card, my main concern is noise. Am I going to be disappointed? I am coming from Gigabyte 970 G1 sli. Thanks

I am not going to overclock, just run at stock.

Wicked video, Greg!

Good video, Greg. Nearly bought one of those G1's today but chickened out at last minute.

Was going to move my TitanX into my ITX build to replace a 780.
Will try and hold off a bit longer. I know I will get the Ti or Titan whatever when it comes out anyway but really want a new toy to play with and see if it helps out my Vive and Rift

What monitor Gregster?

Great side by side video. Do look forward to seeing others

Stock fan profile is actually very quiet on the card but the boost will reduce. 50% or so will maintain boost fairly easy and at that point the card still runs fairly quiet. It does get noisy when you push higher OC's and try to keep it cool, but sounds like your not doing that anyways.

Nice.

Which AIB partner did you get the card from ?

Thought I would add this here and if you could add me to the list Kaap, that would be appreciated. I rushed this a bit but still happy with how it turned out and lots more testing to come and comparisons.

Nice mini review and VS video. Cheers for that Greg

Thanks so much guys, really appreciated

Great video mate. Anyway who speaks with a London accent gets my vote immediately. Given you a Twitter follow as well

Really nice video comparison/overview that, thanks for the upload.

Nice video Gregster! Was that the maximum overclock you got out of the G1?

Thanks for the review Gregster really helpful for people with TX's/Ti's like me wondering whether to upgrade.

Seems it's about 10fps faster alround, and with low fps down in the 40fps with the TX's (3440*1440) another 10fps is very welcome to keep gsync smooth.

1080 does not look that great in those 2 videos tbh, not 25% faster. That is a titan X which is about 5% faster than 980ti though.. Also memory on TX is at 8000 vs 10500 on 1080.

The 1080 was never meant to be the successor of the TX, it was silly of them to market it that way, that will come later with the next Ti/TX. What the 1080 is though is the fastest GPU on the market currently, it has faster minium fps and will pull away further in dx12 titles.

that titan x should have another 150mhz or more in it where as the 1080 most likely wont have another 100 unless Greg got lucky. I agree with the above statement, they shouldn't have compared it to titan x as its clearly a 980 replacement. That part has bitten them in the behind.

Wrong thread

But the marketing has got a few people to see switch from TX to 1080s so Nvidia won't see it as silly.
