So the 1080 is a bit faster than a 980ti and will be about the same price in the uk. Just like I called it. Ner ne ner ner.

Only thing that's a bit exciting is those clock speeds though. Bonkers. It bodes for the 1080ti being a really really great card.

I like interesting cards as well as fast ones, I was very tempted to get an AMD Duo the other day. That would have made DM choke after all the heated debate about the card.

It's what makes me laugh.

This is a hobby (expensive if you want it to be)

Buy what you want - when you want.

You have to treat buying a Gpu like gambling.

It's dead money

People need to take a step back and wait for the proper reviews.

So far all we have had is the edited highlights censored by NVidia, what are it's weak points as no card is perfect.

Troezar · 7 May 2016 at 08:27

So how long do we think before the reviews start to drop?

As with maxwell, the 1070 represents a better price/performance ratio than the 1080, right?

So, It seems Nvidia got out the door first, Congrats to them. The cards sound very compelling, A 1070 sounds like a good buy but I don't think it's worth me ditching my Fury pro for. It may be faster but not loads and if AMD's DX12 advantage holds that'll lessen the gap. I do worry about Nvidia support games pushing the ram requirements further now they're showcasing 8 gb models and want to be able to show a difference, ie: having to lower settings on 4gb cards even if the fps does not need it.

According to Nvidia the GTX1080 is 25% faster than a GTX980TI,so if we include the overclocked models,might be not as much.

However,the GTX1080 also has 40% more TFLOPS than a GTX1070.

This much bigger than the GTX980 against the GTX970 which was around 20% difference.

The latest TPU review places the GTX980 as being around 15% faster than the the GTX970:

https://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_950/images/perfrel_2560_1440.png

With the GTX1070 having only GDDR5,it has no hope of catching the GTX1080,and I suspect it will be in-between GTX980 and GTX980TI level performance.

Would not suprise me if it is Fury level or a tad faster.

A worthy upgrade to my original Titan. I'm glad I waiting and didn't buy a 980ti, nearly succumbed on more than one occasion.

Agreed. But I think I may still wait for the ti version.

Can you prove they don't

Good cards from NV. They brought the performance what was needed.
Did they mention any architectural changes, or is this a 16nm high clocked maxwell?

Is it me or the GTX1070 looks a tad meh?? £310 to £320,which makes it 20% more expensive than a GTX970 at launch and looking at the specs would probably be 20% to 25% faster overall??

At least the GTX1080 is the same price as the GTX980TI and offers 25% more performance and more VRAM too.

This does not compared well to the upcoming Polaris cards due to their better efficiency, meaning only 2 kittens go to the knackers yard.

the founders edition sounds like a marketing term for `only available through us` type card

I hope the reference 1080 comes in at a decent price and not too expensive.

I am going to wait for reviews, we don't know what changes have been made with regards DX12 and efficiency etc. Plus it might use all its memory at full speed
