Look at the rrp of the 780Ti's. about £430. There are still Ti's going for £600+. Especially aftermarket ones etc.

Used then yeah id say £350-£400. But i still doubt a new £600 card now will drop £300 in 2 months time.

Unless pascal is that big of a jump. Hope so .

Stop making things up . The 780Ti was in the same price bracket as the 980Ti when it came out (ie ~£550)

Pascal Mobile chip?



Hmmm dual GPU on a mobile chip?

GTX 1080 8GB, GTX 1070 7.6GB and GTX 1060 3GB 3DMark 11 scores?

yes agreed when they was new they were £550. Look at the time they were dropped. Were they still £550 when they dropped to £300 after release?

I just have to laugh^ I'm lost for words.

You know im just messing now right

Nvidia Pascal GTX 1080, 1070 & 1060 Benchmarks Leaked so they say?

It is an expensive business upgrading every year for very little extra in performance. You would be better of upgrading every alternate year that way you get the option to buy into the GPU refresh or better stepping – less hardware and driver bugs and better pricing.

They are having a laugh.

A GTX 980 can get a graphics score of 19k on that bench.

Next rumour please.

Yes but at what clock speed?

We have no idea what clock speed these are supposedly running at it might be close to final it might only be a few hundred MHz, there is no way of knowing. All it shows is cards that haven't been listed before running the benchmark, what chips or indeed what cards they will end up being is completely unknown.

It depends how you do it, if you can stand being without a gaming GPU for a few weeks you can get a much better resale value on your old card, and then jump on one of the new ones - typically they will even increase in price as stock sells out so you get the same price on launch day as you would end up getting in the sales 3 months later

Several of my GPU upgrades in the last few years have ended up costing me nothing.

My stock 390 gets above 18k...

One of my Titan Xs running @stock totally destroys any of those graphics figures (25.5k). If that was genuine mid range Pascal this would not be possible.

 

[Jono8]

Could well be the mobile version ( ie I could see the 1080 mobile chip being as fast as a desktop 980)

 

[Meaker]

We already have the 980 (non m) in notebooks, it's not good enough for that either.

 

[bru]

The thing is we have no idea if these scores are even from Pascal chips, all we do know is that they haven't been identified on the benchmark before.

That's proper sanity right there. Well said! Quite amusing how this repeats itself every generation

If they were from Pascal chips the boffins at NVidia must be enjoying their liquid lunches too much. who in their right mind would test on an i3 CPU ?

Yep I thought that was rather funny

And on Windows 8.1 too

 

[Orangey]

Real-world testing?

Looks like a laptop chip. Maybe they bunged it on a test board and ran it in a low-spec PC.

 

[theMilitant]

Yeah, not going to pay any attention to benchmarks run using an i3 2100. Even rumours need to be based on the usage of credible hardware.
