** The Official Nvidia GeForce 'Pascal' Thread - for general gossip and discussions **

I wonder what the difference is between the founders edition and the 'normal' one?

Probably clock boosts and a different shroud.

 

[arc@css]

Bet he's fired after that

What happened?

 

[triss]

Just gotta get some proper benches on these, but I must say at first glance that is impressive. Prices seem good too.

Greg, you wanna hope your Titan X has sold earlier LOL

They are definately going for AMD with Pascal.

AMD are gonna have to go some with Vega to go up against 1080. I really think they are trying to bury Polaris.

Be great if AMD can pull something out of the bag that is just as impressive though. We'll just have to wait and see.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia have a faster card in the pipeline to compete with Vegas later
I'd like to see vegas bet Nvidia's top offering by a good 20% this round

I for one welcome our new 1080 overlords!

hand picked chips for better overclocking

I wish we knew the UK price for the 1070 I want to sell my 970 now but don't want to sell and we get f'd over with the tax

 

[Snookums]

Wonder what's gonna happen to the current card prices then. They must be about to plummet. They can't sell a 1080 for £500 then a 980ti which is half as good for £600. £200 for a new 980ti anybody?

 

[Raiden85]

£500 is my guess too.

£500 would be very good considering its the equivalent of two 980's.

If they could get the price of the 1080 to £399 to £449 then that would be amazing. AMD would have an extremely hard time competing against that.

 

[LS_Chao]

Does anyone remember rrp of the 980 was? Just want to compare with $599 for the 1080.

They have GP100 at the very least, with rumours of a GP102 which is likely a gaming optimized big Pascal. They definitely have an HBm2 card on the way for the end of the year, early 2017.

 

[Evian]

Decisions decisions 1070 or 1080... !

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Are "partner's" cards usually available at launch, or some time after?

 

[Andromeda1983]

1080 clearly Evian....i mean come on better than Titan X performance at 180w!

 

[Bazzards]

Guys do we know if there will be hybrid cards? Would like to trade up my 980tis within the 90 days if there are.

Yep, hinted at cards being the first Pascal cards. There's bound to be an extreme one later.

TitanX, now obsolete .

 

[Tute]

1070 for me based on that. There's no way i'm spending £550 on a graphics card, which I expect is the price point the 1080 will hit in the UK.

 

[Drojman]

£429 according to this.

 

[AlamoX]

Lisa Su at AMD HQ

 

[Sasahara]

The 980 was $549, and best price in the UK at launch was around £420.

Given the weak £ at the moment a £500 starting price for the 1080 seems probable. And I would guess around £320 for a 1070.

Founder Edition adds around £80.

 

[Andromeda1983]

The AMD fanboys are rallying, watch them complain until there's actual performance numbers.
