Sounds like BS to me, you can already get 7 and 8ghz gddr 5, now if it was clocked at 10 - 12 then it would more than likely be gddr5x

I suspect the 1070 will clock a lot higher than the reference 1080 cards because with the disabled cores it will draw less power and run cooler.
The lower boost clock is certainly an artificial limitation to increase performance delta and ensure the lowest power-heat-noise levels.
Have those numbers not been floating around for a while, seen them posted elsewhere. It is not new and is hopefully just BS.
Almost certainly only gddr5, but even if it was X it is irrelevant if they are clocking them so low to get 7 Gbps and 224 GB/s bandwidth, which is really the only thing that matters. It could be HBM2 memory but if the 224 GB/s then that is what the card gets.
The rest of the info is the same as what was posted yesterday. Strongly suggest AMD have worked on getting real-world performance up instead of theoretical compute performance.
I hope that is not true.
The ddrx thing sounds stupid though and therefore probably false. Why bother with GDDR5X if you are only going to clock it to 7gbps : /
I assume its a spelling problem with reading for many.
Both starts with the letter P so confusing I guess.
Polaris looks better and better and I feel starstruck atm

Do you even praise the sun brother?
Its the "why are we waiting" (not me personally) thread I think :S
Hilarious. That's exactly what Nvidia want. They deliberately break games so AMD cards perform poorly on them. It might fool you but not me. The very reason they do this is why I will NOT be buying a 1080 or indeed any Nvidia card in the near future. Call me an AMD fan boy if you will. But at least I'm doing it because I value their business practices, not get suckered in for shiny marketing. (not to mention my card is faster and cheaper than a 980). That's just a bonus for me. I would rather support an underdog, honest company than a greasy, underhand tactic dog like Nvidia.
Good point. We've reached that stage again.
Sorry for double post.
I have to fully agree with you on this. I think for me the 'founders edition' nonsense is the final straw.

Think someone should make a 'safe space' for benny. Anyways hope Polaris comes with could crossfire support as that could make them killer buys, like when they launched the 4 series if I recall correctly.
