I take it the 1080Ti/Titan is going to be another 250w card then (albeit it with a mighty boost in performance)?

Was really hoping for a 4K killer with better power efficiency.

Tech aint magic yo.

4k is a serious resolution.

Save me from looking through the thread... when are reviews again?

Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Will OCUK/retailers have the new SLI bridge on launch date? If not SLI is impossible.

They more than likely will sell them, although making a big assumption i would think normal bridges would work at a reduced performance.

 

[smilertoo]

Maybe the 8gb allows the simultaneous multi camera rendering to work better, the 1070 should be fine for 4k gaming if you don't insist on having everything maxed out.

If the guy is still running an 8800 GT, I'll concede the point!

 

[Safetytrousers]

Founder Editions (i.e. priced up low supply early samples before production ramp) will be available in 3-5 weeks, but general availability in any volume is likely at least 2 months away.

Is that the same sort of two months as the Pascal definitely won't be available until 2017 sort of two months?

Curious to see if the 1070 or 1080 will be the single card to conquer 4k for the 60fps+ is-a-must-crowd.

 

[Strife212]

Neither.

1070 is pretty much looking like a tie with 980Ti which definitely isn't good enough.

doubt it, that would kind-of mean the new gpu offers around double the performance of a 980ti@4k. I guess it could happen but very unlikely.

Neither will. The GP100/Vega class cards will probably start to finally edge in on 4k/60fps capabilities with modern demanding games, but I still feel like even they will probably struggle here and there.

2160p is an *unreal* sort of resolution jump that we've never really seen before. It makes 720p->1080p or even 1080p->1440p look positively mundane by comparison. At least in terms of performance demands.

nop wont happen, that wall have to wait for next year Titan/Vega to be broken

4k, high settings, 60fps will still be an SLI only scenario. By the time a single card arrives (possibly the 1080Ti but even then I have my doubts), there may be 4k monitors that do 120 Hz. So 4k monitors that 'only' do 60Hz will be seen as scum of the earth (much like the weirdos spouting off about the 980Ti somehow being redundant now) So you'll need 2x whatever to hit 120fps, and the whole merry dance goes on and on and on....

True i think 1080 SLI would give a solid playable 4K gaming experience but don't think one card will do that.

 

[rtho782]

Looking at the size of that SLI bridge and comments of "doubled bandwidth" I do wonder if it is just 2 sli bridges in one, using both ports on the card.

 

[Drollic]

Neither.

1070 is pretty much looking like a tie with 980Ti which definitely isn't good enough.

I'll settle for that given the 970 at launch vs 780ti and where each is now.

You're speaking as if Pascal is available. It was a paper launch. They still haven't even shown any verifiable demos of it, which AMD did months ago.

Founder Editions (i.e. priced up low supply early samples before production ramp) will be available in 3-5 weeks, but general availability in any volume is likely at least 2 months away.

AMD will announce Polaris before the FEs ship, of that you can be sure.

Also, NVIDIA said less about HDR than AMD did months ago, and again - Pascal DOES NOT DO ASYNCH IN HARDWARE - it is still software. This has been known since P100 was unveiled, and nothing has changed. Go and look at the AotS bench results that have leaked today ... they show the 1080 being roughly 20% faster than 980Ti / Fury X - exactly as expected. If it had hardware asynch the uplift would be significantly more than that.

I cant help but think you are making this face every time you post in this thread.
