It has 1 X 8-pin connector. Of course it depends on other components but typically any decent 750w or more PSU will handle it in SLI comfortably.

except the lower TDP gtx 980 has 2x6pin.....
Nah depends a bit but on average it is somewhere around 28% slower I think off the top of my head.

But that's irrelevant really? The new card can clock higher than the 980Ti can and is designed for higher Mhz clock speed. That's like comparing a 14000rpm race car engine with it's road going 7000rpm equivelant, running both at 7000rpm - the race car may actually have less power and will definately have crap drivability. Crap analogy probably but....well the new card could do with a few more cores though I suppose

I'm going for the 1070, TX performance and more at £300 is not to be sniffed at.
980ti and tx owners might have left it to late to sell on and get decent returns as resale value just hit the deck.

You realize not everybody in the world owns a 980Ti right?
£300 would about the upper limit come 4 weeks from now. Some people will pay more because of the prestige, but they wont get decent value.200 for a 980 Ti ?
cough cough
You haven't got a clue
1070 will come out-the-gate with similar performance, more vRAM and with driver maturity will likely gain another 10-15% on the 980Ti.

I agree, £225 max.
My 650w Superflower gold would easily handle 2 1080's at that TDP.
'Founder's edition' seems like a fancy name for 'same old reference'. In the past people paid LESS for reference designs, now they're expected to pay more. I assume the chips are binned but so will the overclocked versions of AIBs. And of course the $100 extra is the price of a waterblock for this cards!
Wicked! I was hoping that would be the case. I have a Seasonic 760w platinum - which I was told wasnt big enough for 980ti in SLI. However if I could run two 1080 in SLI, that would save me getting a new PSU.
Good stuff. Pointless for the time being but good stuff.What caught my eye near the end was this.. DisplayPort 1.4 support already! It Just barely got released!
I thought AMD and NV would be going to 1.3 first, but NV jumped the gun.
I think what you're largely paying for here is early access.

I think there is a certain amount of optimisation and adding back in compute features that won't really be seen with current games but provide more of a benefit with future DX12, etc. games where the lead over the 980ti will probably be larger than in older stuff.
My summary:
980 ref cards are now paperweights
As expected we get a really big increase in perf and a drop in heat output
1080 not more expensive than 980
Those running 980ti customs with multi monitor probably best off waiting unless you running sff builds
Ball in amd court.

I'll be keeping my eye on a 120+Hz HDR 1440p IPS/VA monitor. It should be fantastic, although I expect pricing will be that old first and 2nd gen IPS panels. A good one easily at £1000+

Yeah I noticed that too
. Good to know it's ready for new higher refresh rate curved 21:9 screens when they hit.

Great news about DP 1.4!!!! Means when I come to upgrade my monitor then it'll be a decent one
Wonder if AMD will only come with 1.3
