I'm confused, is the 1080 (and maybe 1070) performance a bad thing?
Did we really wait all this time and get this excited about a die-shrink in the hopes that the performance gains would be the same as the previous generations?

People aren't happy that the 1070 may beat the 980Ti, but I'm sure if the 1080Ti beat the 980Ti by 10% people would complain about the lack of progress.
If they just released the 1080 with a price tag hgiher than the 980Ti people would complain about prices and how much the 1080Ti and new Titan would be...

What exactly were we hoping for?

No i would like the 1080ti to be as fast as conceivably possible, but the situation does not look very good it you have a 980ti and another year to wait for the 1080ti, especially if you were considering swapping the 980ti for a 1080. Is it worth ebaying a 980ti for less than a 1070 and then getting a 1080 at the original 980ti amount? Hmmm not really in my opinion, But yes that is just my view lol. I was expecting the 1080 to be the same as the current 980 and for the 1080ti to have decent ebay, making it a reasonable upgrade, but it is not looking like that now.

So the 1080 at 2.1Ghz is 20% faster than a 980ti is that correct?

Is that a stock or overclocked 980ti?

it is taking the p**s out of buyers a bit if an overclocked 1070 beats and overclocked 980ti, I don't think it will, but it might.

The 980ti was not reelased long ago, I am completely fine with the 1080 beating the 980ti, but if a 1070 beats 980ti then that just completely destroyed the resale value of the 980ti just over a year after release.

I've heard it all now.

Making the 1070 powerful and a great value is now anti-consumer. lol
 
150-£200 :D lol FFS... I've seen 780Ti's go for £250-300 in recent months on eBay. They still do.

Ain't no way I'm parting with my Ti's for £200 I'll take them to the grave. Literally have them built into my headstone.

I never said it was anti consumer, I said it was annoying if you got a 980ti in the last year.

But then its worse for Titan X or if you got a 980ti in the last few months.

So it looks like NVidia will make it for Q2 after all. So much for certain users on here saying that’s impossible and consumer versions are not likely to hit till 2017. Looking forward to this GPU upgrade as it should make my 5 ish year old PC last another few years without a full rebuild.
 
I like that the mid-upper range bodes well for the ti/titan/ludicrous speed (assuming they release a titan) release - should hopefully be enough driving performance behind them for the advent of oled monitors.

die shrink`s can be done that quickly ;)
 
If you're only getting 20fps in 4K even an extra 50% is only gonna be another 10.

It doesn't bode well for the Ti at all. Not on 16nm anyway... ;)
 
But 3440x1440 on the Ti should be very good.

4k 60fps with some settings turned down probably.

4k is no good IMO, because even solid 60fps looks low compared to 70-100fps. The difference between even 60 and 75fps looks a lot different to me, yet alone anything under 60fps which looks so bad compared to 75+.

If they start release 4k 144hz monitors and make GPU's that can actually run that at 70+ FPS then it will be worth it.

When will they talk more about the 1070? Seems like a much more "important" card, given the aggressive pricing and AMD's current standpoint.

Wow if the 1070 is going to beat all of the current AMD cards in the bracket of a 970, that is really going to hurt for AMD. I hope that AMD release something competitive or we are going to be stuck with AMD only releasing low / mid range products and Nvidia doing what intel currently do with CPU's.
