Volta is likely 10nm.
It is likely to be awhile until consumers get their hands on them as the initial focus is on stuff like Summit.

10nm for large monolithic dies wont be till mid - early 2018 at the earliest. Vega and Volta will be 14 and 16nm still.
Vega will be 14nm - I won't be betting on Volta being on 16nm.
From all I have read today, isn't the 1070 been faster than the Titan X referring to VR only? That the 2X performance of the 980 for the 1080 is also only for VR?
It seems that the gaming performance for the 1080 is about 25% faster than the 980Ti so the 1070 seems to be coming it at under the 980Ti performance.
LOL, you need to get help. What negative nancy's? Everyone knows that both AMD and Nvidia use best case scenarios in their presentations. We still have to wait for real world benchmarks.
If the 1070 is faster than the Titan X in games, that will be awesome. But, I won't put my faith in a Nvidia (or AMD) presentation.
Exactly, people have been spouting this nonsense since the bencmarks came out a few days ago.
I also said that the 1070 would be between the 980 and 980ti performance. Nothing in the presentation has made me change my mind, well, it will be faster in VR performance, that much seems clear.
But, I will happy if I am wrong.
You do understand that Vulcan mostly is based on Mantle yes? AMD freely gave them the tech while all AMD cards that came out the last 3 years fully support it

Yes I agree, it looks like a 1080 will beat a 980ti by 15-20% and the 1070 will not be as fast as a 980ti. Not exactly that much of a difference if you have a 980ti, if you have a 970 though looks like a very good upgrade.
they can underclock it to stock 1080, i dont know if they will hand out only founder editions as samples, but if performance over last gen isnt that big, overclocking is a big selling point, they have to use it.
There were atleast a few people who very definitely claimed the 1080 wouldn't be faster than the 980ti and/or nVidia wouldn't kill off the 980ti.
There are a couple of game benchmarks in there somewhere which showed the 1080 around 28-33% faster than the Titan X and the 1070 around Titan X performance and the slide showing the 1080 about 70% faster in tomb raider than a 980.

2 BRAND SPANKING NEW ASUS Strix GTX 980 Ti going for £310 on fleebay

From someone with 0 feedback hmm.
everyone preferes vulkan to dx12, and on paper AMD should be better at vulkan than DX12, so everyone is a winner with vulkan.
They will drop to £200 as soon as the Pascal arrives, in what 3 weeks?
Until then, only very silly people will buy any GPU at all.
So not that silly in the grand scheme of things, just 980ti/titan owners not accepting that expensive GPU's loose value quickly.
It would do some people some good to put the shoe on the other foot for a minute - it can be argued that it's a bit dodgy trying to sell a 980ti today for £400+ when they won't be worth anything near that soon.

No, the claim relating to VR was that the 1080 was 2x faster than a Titan X in some VR scenarios.
The faster than 980 sli performance was related to actual gaming performance for the 1080. Why does this seem so outlandish to you? 2540 pascal cores at 1733mhz boost with GDDR5X, 9 Tflops compared with 2048 Maxwell cores with a 1216mhz and standard gddr5 boost clock and 5 Tflops. It sounds spot on to me.
It was also said that the 1070 would be faster than the Titan X. This makes sense looking at the Tflop rating ( all we have at the moment)

True, but ebay is always on the buyers side. I wouldn't worry
Also andybird is selling his on there for £350
People seem to be overlooking the slides with non-VR game relative performance - on my tablet atm so can't easily link.
That would be when they are using their new single pass view multiview port rendering.
Nice wide range you have there with all the and/or caveats
Honestly, while I do recall a very few people saying 1080 would be about 980Ti speeds the vast majority were claiming 1080 would be ~25% faster but the same price as 980Ti. Nobody was saying Nvidia wouldn't kill off the 980Ti, they were claiming (as was I) that Nvidia would not kill off the £500 price point. This has turned out to be 100% accurate, so much for Nvidia's x80 GPUs always being £400-£450 (*cough* GTX780)
I was wrong about the 1070 prices though, I honestly thought they would be around current 980 prices (could still be with price gouging). I suspect the 1070 is that price because upcoming Polaris will be a very close competitor in price/performance.
