The Founders Edition is an Nvidia-manufactured reference card using specially-binned GPUs for extreme overclocking. It will feature a higher core speed out of the box.

That's is what one if the Hexus reviewers said.
So are the Nvidia figures for the Founders Edition or the normal one?

So does that mean reviews will be for the special version??

steady 140fps, with 1080p Ultra setting running on Vulkan, i know the game isn't very demanding, but it's good to see vulkan doing very well, i wasnt going to get doom but now i will, just because of vulkan , the new API patch should roll out shortly after the release.

Nice I didn't expect this to be running Vulkan API. SP Looks Excellent

It looks pretty awesome, glad to see the game getting some Vulkan love. Be a good example to all the ingrates who don't understand that Talos Principle was just using an experimental bolt on for vulkan.

Get another 980ti cheap...

Not a bad idea but I've never been entirely happy with my previous SLI attempts; too many games not working right on day one with it not to mention I'm a bit OCD with having my PC running super efficient (in terms of total power draw) and quiet.

I think buying Ti series cards is always a double edged sword because you know in 6 months you'll have next gen

figures should be of the stock clock, otherwise it doesnt make sense.
and reviewers will probably bench both, the only difference would be overclocking and power/noise pages

enthusiasts GPU are never a good value, but you get the best for those 6months

It has started!

It's only the beginning. 980Ti and Titan X were always overpriced.

It's a bit worrying the first reviews will be for the special Founders version which is pre-overclocked?

The big standard version every one is going to buy is going to boost less and overclock worse.

 

[marktruman]

when should we expect benchmarks to come out?

The only version at launch is probably going to be the Founders version which has a higher default clockspeed. Plus does that mean the standard cards won't clock as well?

This means people will look at the Founders benchmarks and equate them to the cheaper cards.

Plus the figures Nvidia released are going to be the Founders cards over the Titan X.

 

[Digital X]

At a guess, a week before release maybe.

They're being silly, it will still be worth £300 for a while.

But the problem is those benchmarks are going to be for the pre-overclocked Founders cards not the cheaper ones people are talking about in this thread.

They are specially binned meaning the rest will have worst boost and worse over clocking.

This is what happens when AMD has no high end card for the next six months.

Milking city.

Volta is next gen and it will be done on same process, so gains are not likely to be as big as they are with Pascal compared to Maxwell...

Nice to see the Vulkan support with Doom and Nvidia. Sorry AMD, but I prefer Vulkan over DX12 for being a multi-platform API. And why are people still saying the GTX 1070 is still a 1080p60 card? People use the 390 for 1440p, so I don't see why the 1070 can't be good for 1440p. Perhaps it won't be amazingly high FPS, but I think it'll at least do 60.

Looks like the 1000 series is following the similar trend to the 900 series overall. While the 980 was quite a bit faster than original Titan, the 970 was on par, slightly faster too. I hope similarly here for the 1070 compared to Titan X.

Anyone excited for these cards and eager to pre-order I have 2 things to say: early adopter tax and 1080ti. Plus we haven't yet seen what AMD will bring to compete with Vega. The 1070 vs Vega could be similar to the 970 vs 390 now. We'll just have to wait and see. Considering AMD is making us wait longer, Vega better be something amazing.

Or else... I'll probably choose the 1080ti as my next upgrade. If the 1080 can do 1080p140 on new Doom, I think the 1080ti should be able to do at least 90 at 1440p and make the most of those 1440p144Hz monitors. All I need now is an actual damn job so I can afford these things. *mutter* Crappy economy...

Titan X maybe but the 980Ti brought Titan X performance at half the price, It is still a great card just like the 780Ti was.

As someone else said earlier. Neither card have become slow or outdated overnight. Both are still great cards.

Unless there is a nice jump in performance +30-40% ill wait for the propper pascal cards .

You do realise that AMD played a big part in getting vulkan to where it is today by donating Mantle to khronos?

But on the other note, it is good too see a decent implementation of Vulkan in a game.

really ? not sure I'd spend £300 on a used 980 Ti with the 1070 out so soon

I'd say 250 prob reasonable

 

[Nexus18]

£300 possibly... any higher, hell no imo.

If the 1070 does match a 980ti and comes in at £300-350, why would anyone want to pay at least £100+ more for older tech, less VRAM, older DP version, not to mention it is used and has less warranty as well as taking a back-seat for driver optimisation in future games.
