It's a stone cold certainty, and the 680

The really interesting card will be the 1070 and whatever AMD comes up with on Polaris. It's not looking like AMD is going to compete with the 1080 directly, so I'd expect it to be priced pretty high.

Bring on the milking then.

Ain't gonna milk me though!

I'll be waiting for the the proper full fat version this time.

My 980Ti will do nicely in the meantime.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

I'm currently on a Fury and I plan on waiting as long as possible and then I hope to get a card with double figure ram that will run a 3440x1440 fairly comfortably, I hope doing that and also moving from my 4790k to an 8 or more core Zen or Intel a year after that that will allow me to then sit back with a rig that will last 4 or 5 years.

I can't see me holding out for another year until Vega to upgrade, and i'll not be downgrading to a Polaris, so have to be Pascal for me.

I will go with whichever vendor that provides a 32gb card myself. If 4gb ain't enough for 1080p as people say, 4K which has 4 times the pixels will surely need more than 16gb to be safe

Fancy me a 4K monitor soon, 1440p is getting old now, so need 32gb

32gb lol. I highly doubt there will be a card anytime soon with that much.

4gb was enough for 4k when i had 980's in SLI several months ago (i think i would struggle now though). 980Ti's 6gb is still enough for 4k. Thats why i originally upgraded to them before i found 144hz.

There is a card and it is made by AMD too.

Mainstream gaming GPU then

Gonna try and hold out for full-fat here, but Gsync should help me out a fair bit...

 

[bfar]

If you have one of those then I suspect there's not gonna be much to interest you with this summer's launches!

But folk like me who skipped last gen are excited

Don't buy two, CF may be a bit disappointing.

 

[DmitryD]

I won't be getting stung on that again though. Once bitten twice shy.

FULL FAT pascal or nothing for me!

+1

HBM 2.0 with at least 8 GB or nothing.

Happy to use 980ti for longer.

I noticed TechpowerUP just added GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 in GPU-Z database today.

The GeForce GTX 1080 will be a graphics card by NVIDIA. Built on the 16 nm process, and based on the GP104 graphics processor, in its GP104-400-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12.0. The GP104 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 317 mm². It features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units and 80 ROPs. NVIDIA has placed 4,096 MB GDDR5X memory on the card, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1127 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1216 MHz, memory is running at 1753 MHz.

We recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 5760x1080.
Being a dual-slot card, its power draw is not exactly known. GeForce GTX 1080 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.

The GeForce GTX 1070 will be a graphics card by NVIDIA. Built on the 16 nm process, and based on the GP104 graphics processor, in its GP104-200-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12.0. The GP104 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 317 mm². Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 1080, which uses the same GPU but has all 2560 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 1070 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units and 80 ROPs. NVIDIA has placed 8,192 MB GDDR5 memory on the card, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1127 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1216 MHz, memory is running at 1753 MHz.

The launch should be few weeks away, 19 July would be changed to 19 May when Nvidia official announce it. I find GTX 1080 have 4GB GDDR5X odd while GTX 1070 have more memory with 8GB GDDR5. If all these specs accurated then what will GP104-150 SKU be? Could be either cut down GTX 1070 for OEMs or 1060. Guess there will be no 1080 Ti for GP104 as Nvidia will keep it for big pascal probably GP100 or GP102. GTX 1080 have 40 SM enabled and 5.7 TFLOPs nearly twice than GTX 970's 3.4 TFLOPs while GTX 1070 will have 36 SM enabled and 5.1 TFLOPs. GP104 seem nice to have 80 ROPs compared to GM204's 56 and 64 ROPs.

Less memory on the top card, surely that cannot be right, what company in their right mind would do such a thing.

In all seriousness though, those specs might even be quite close to being correct, I'm not sure about the memory though, isn't it a little bit too early for GDDR5X.

 

[Dave2150]

They obviously mixed up the VRAM capacity of the 1080 with the 1070.

Well that is one possibility I suppose, or of course it could all be total nonsense.

I think it definitely means a release or at least an announcement is not too far away now.

This^^

This must be wrong?

 

[JediFragger]

New Ti will have 2GB then

 

[old gamer]

New Ti will have 2GB then

no 2gb plus 512mb mickey mouse ram

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It says the GTX1080 will use GDDR5X and the GTX1070 GDDR5. Also says a third week of July release too.

 

[Jono8]

Didn't the picture of the GP104-400 sample show it having 8gb of gddr5x though?
