Suprised the new sli bridge is 1080 only

 

[Bazzards]

I think you are right tute, 550 easily for the 980. Would love for a hybrid to be released before the end of July so i can upgrade through EVGA. Love my TI's however new toys........

Yeah, noticed that. Trying to make 1070 SLI less appealing??

 

[AllBodies]

What's with the 'founders' editions anyway?

Is it just to get the kryten vapour chamber cooler, or does it mean they're not launching in bulk on the launch dates? Only marked up 'founders' in small quantity?

WTB Asus DirectCU (whatever number they choose) 1070!

A DirectCu Mini would be nice. Based on the power efficiency of cards such as the 670 and 970 it should be possible.

 

[stooeh]

Really want to wait until next tier of Pascal but that VR perf...

 

[Bazzards]

2ghz cards just sounds mental. Do we Know anything about the Polaris potential launch, as they may still put a fork in my plans..

Just looked at the specs for the 1070....its TDP is 150W!

 

[stooeh]

Not a mention of DX12 was there?

 

[Bazzards]

So I may not need a hybrid 1080 based on that TDP for the 1070?

 

[Tute]

970 was around the same (145W?) so I think it should be possible. It won't be a launch day model though so would mean waiting.

Gota say if these are Nvidia High end GPUs, then AMD need to start also rolling out High end not mid range GPUs.

Any confirmed release for 1080 etc?

 

[Andromeda1983]

The 1080 is 180W TDP Bazz

May 27th apparently.

 

[Bazzards]

Based on these initial figures I think I should have waited before purchasing the 980tis, oh well fingers crossed they are released before the end of July.

even if they dont push for performance yet, it's still ok but they need to reflect that on price and efficiency, and then do some serious work on Vega

 

[Bazzards]

Cheers Andromeda.

AMD is june unconfirmed, and that isnt there high end either.. Ouch!
