Anyone got any idea as to what the 1080 Founders Edition is ?

It costs an extra $100 over the standard 1080.

binned chip I believe and maybe cooling(not sure), but said it has better overclocking potential

Not everyone will have seen the presentation though so might get lucky and find a buyer and hope they pay up before finding out.

For those doubting the claims, is it not feasible that with a boost clock of 2.1ghz and with more cores that it can indeed be 2x TItan X? That is a question as I'm not up to date with the tech low down as many of you are

It's rated at 9 gflops compared to Titan X's 7 so it won't be anywhere near twice as fast. Maxwell and Pascal are supposedly very similar so it should be a decent indicator. The gtx1070 is supposedly 6.5gflops so might not be faster than Titan X. The twice as fast came from a new feature used in VR which is a nice inclusion.

The gtx1070 looks interesting. It looks a good bit slower than the 1080 but priced as such. I wonder if it's cut down a lot or just way underclocked. If it's just underclocked it could be an overclocking monster.

Hmmm, but I thought the bit on VR was done afterwards, after announcing it was twice as fast as a Titan X? Oh welll

Twice as fast as a titan x? In what scenario i must ask. 9Gflops doesn't sound like its going to be twice as fast as a titan x

Simon Belmont · 7 May 2016 at 05:57

GTX1080 performance that is greater than GTX 980 SLI for less then £500 :eek:

Everyone saying just a bit faster then 980T was full of it.

Goodbye 980Ti , Titan X

VR apparently.

Still, 1070 pricing is decent though. It just brought 980Ti performance down to £300 or under. Plus you get 2GB extra vram and it will likely run much cooler and need a lot less juice. This is the minimum I was expecting to be happy and NVidia delivered.

The ball now is in AMD's court

Depends exactly where you sell them. 780Ti's still fetch £250 on ebay lol.

Goodbye AMD?

lol

Simon Belmont · 7 May 2016 at 06:16

Will the custom cooled 1000 series cards come out the same time as reference?

I would think so. Plans etc will be sent to vendors. Ready for the launch on the 27th.

he kept using the word twice as fast as Titan X ^_^

Not for long.

980Ti and Titan X price should drop huge once everyone sees the 1070 price-performance. Everyone selling their 980Ti's and Titan X, Good luck with your sale lol

3 weeks actually

on board gfx haha

chroniclard · 7 May 2016 at 06:45

Will await some proper benchies but possibly, wow. Worthy upgrade to my 980 incoming.

DarrenM343 · 7 May 2016 at 06:46

There more details, pics and a comparison or two on the Nvidia website now, 980(non ti) vs 1080 in Rise of the Tombraider DX12 about 70% faster. No idea what res though. About 2.5x the performance in VR (vs 980). Ties in with about 40% faster than a TX in non-VR - still a big jump especially given the price vs nearly a £grand recently for the TX. Newer features, better DX12(vs DX12ready), newer memory type albeit less of it for now.

AlamoX · 7 May 2016 at 06:51

ok now that am not dazzled anymore with huan's leather jacket and sweet talk, slides show 1080 to be 20% faster than 980Ti with 70watt less in TDP, 1070 will probably trade blows with 980Ti.
ok let me put the conspiracy hat for a sec, this might actualy explain the crappy optimisation nvidia cards had lately compared to AMD's maybe bringing old gen a bit down on performance to make the new one look better ? conspiracy hat off.
i think ppl are in for a cold shower once reviews start rolling in, the good news though is overclock, need to see the efficiency then.

I am actually seriously considering buying 2 more GTX 980 Ti's from EVGA.

Be my guess. I'll go 1080 with double performance for cheaper thank you very much
