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

They've done it from time to time in previous generations - the 470 came with a big clock reduction over the 480 but overclocked like crazy - 607MHz out the box and most could be turned upto 800MHz with no voltage increase I ran mine most of the time at 840MHz with minimal extra voltage but just before I upgraded I had them stable at 900MHz with extra voltage - albeit with 100% fan speed as I never got around to putting custom cooling on them.
I suspect the 1070 will probably overclock quite well if it is just the same cores as 1080s but with some bits disabled.

Is this the Polaris or Pascal thread?
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![]()

All I know is that my 980M laptop runs several Gameworks titles better than my 390X desktop system does, hence why I'll be getting a 1080 on release. Plus the incredible power efficiency is also very desirable, as I'll be moving to a smaller form factor case at the same time.
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.
