Too edgy. Literally and figuratively.
Dont like it at all. Their past reference coolers looked high-tech while still being somewhat understated. What a shame.

Hey Greg, I thought you were going to keep yer Titan X and not be tempted by the new line up until the "Big Boys" arrive.You are cracking already and they havent even been released yet. Shame on you Sir, I thought you were made of sterner stuff.
I guess you can't take the money with you when you go, so you may as well do something with it. Mind you I am sure your other half could turn it into something that is not a new GFX card......a new fridge/Freezer/Washing Machine or even a weekend away.
You just need to add custard to me for the amount of times I crumble
Still undecided but new shiny is always hard and yer, the Mrs can easily spend it if I don't

I currently have a GTX 670, so if the 1070 gives 980 Ti performance, or a little below it for around £300-£350, I'll probably bite.

Hmm,would that mean the GP104 has 2048 shaders??
The GM107 had 640 shaders and the GM206 had 1024 shaders too.
These are the same amount of shaders as Maxwell.

Sadly this is more and more commonplace. Several people in this thread want to see fail from NVidia, where I would hope that any sane person would want to see both AMD and NVidia having beast cards. I don't understand the mentality of people like Flopper and Muzigaz.
Sitting at my computer today, if the 1080 is 20% faster than a 980Ti and comes with 8GB of GDDR5 (hell, even if it is 256 bit) and costs £420, I will be seriously thinking of grabbing one. The same for Polaris and will be considering that also. I don't really want to jump early and would rather hold out for the big cards but hell, I cleared well over £400 in OT last month, so what the hell
Downgrade to a Polaris
1860 boost clock pretty high , if it clock well we should able to hit over 2000

Probs will be lol. Stuck my TX on the bay and will see how that goes. Might be going back to a 970 or trying a 390 for the interim but will be a cheap second hand card.

To be honest, it is not that greatly promising if the 1080 is achieving that performance at 1.6 - 1.8ghz. It seems as though it has little headroom.

So, given that tomorrow seems to be the day, thinking way back to the last round, how long after the 980 launch did the TX it the market? Top of the range cards by Chrimbo?
I do hope that they have actual cards ready to go on sale. It would be a bit of disappointment if it was only a soft launch, or a even worse a vague teaser about upcoming cards.
Remember before the Kepler there was a massive buzz around January, Nvidia had some kind of teaser on facebook. Don't remember the exact details but I do remember people were considering selling their 7970's and waiting until the 680 arrived. Even though the 680 didn't arrive until March.
Hope that's not the case here, or we could be waiting until July.

I thought tomorrow was just a Paper launch, with the cards coming sometime June, onwards ?

Would be surprised if it was just a paper launch, a lot of marketing for just that. Pascal arrive at Planet Earth......but not for another few months. I doubt that.
I reckon availability will be from the end of Computex onwards, so by tomorrow that will be 4 weeks and a day away.
