Found another GTX 1080 2K benchmark with Batman Arkham Knight.

I don't know if it fake or real just like the other video with 4 games, everybody screamed FAKE at GTX 1080 cooler leaked back in March so it turned out real at launch.

The '2K' gave it away that it's fake. Considering the person who made this video is unaware of what 2K resolution actually is, I doubt such an individual would ever be given a review sample by Nvidia. Either that or they wanted to make their trolling obvious.

2K resolution is a generic term for display devices or content having horizontal resolution of approximately 2,000 pixels. Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) defines 2K resolution standard as 2048×1080.

Concerning folks' interest in pricing of the GTX 1080, $599 works out as roughly £500, including VAT (but discluding non-US shafting). Which is disappointing considering the current price range of the GTX 980, so enjoy paying the early adopters tax folks!

Similarly, the $379 GTX 1070 translates to ~£320 (includes VAT), which is also a slight disappointment. There will be no cards in the £200-£300 price range it seems, which is currently the most popular price range (GTX 970 and R9 390 currently inhabit). Maybe it's just inflation, but these cards do have higher launch prices than the 900 series, the 970 was $50 cheaper on release.

Thus I'm now wondering how well the GTX 1070 will sell, now that it's above the £300 mark in price? I don't think it will be as popular as the 970 was, just due to pricing. Many folks base their purchases on budgets, not just performance. I can imagine a lot of folks looking to spend £300 max and then falling short of the 1070. I sure hope to hell OCUK does some amazing deals on these cards for folks who want to buy them. Me? I'll wait for Vega/1080ti before upgrading.

If what Nvidia say is true and the 1070 is faster than a Titan X it will no doubt sell like hotcakes at just over £300.
 
Do you think the 1080Ti will Ultra 4K?

Purely speculation but do you think the 1080Ti will be able to run 4k at ultra and keep above 60fps?

As I game in 1080p, and getting 60fps at ultra. I've no interest in 1070 or 1080 to be quite honest. As I won't see the benefit.
I don't have a 4K monitor because current cards just cant get it above 60fps consistently. (at decent graphical fidelity settings anyway).

There must be quite a few of us in that boat no?

Basically my next upgrade will be to 4K gaming. But I want to do it at high/ultra settings and get 60fps.

Do you think the 1080Ti will manage to do it? Bearing in mind games will get more demanding too?

Just thinking out loud really. the 1070 and 1080 are pointless for me as I currently max out 1080p gaming and they aren't good enough for 60fps 4k gaming from what I have seen. I wonder if many of us are in this dilemma?

From the figures they showed, it is only 15-20% faster than a stock boosting titan x (1200mhz). So look at how well a 1400-1500mhz titan x does at 4k and you will more than likely get your answer.

the 1080 is not as impressive as what Nvidia are making it out to be. The slides they gave were for VR scenarios when they are using Single pass rendering and Simultaneous multi projection on the Pascal card. But TBH this can be done on any of the previous cards, its just software.

Op asked about 1080ti not 1080:)
 
You need 4 TXs boosting to over 1400mhz to max out 4k in demanding games so a single 1080 or 1080 Ti won't even get close.

Having said that do you really want to max out 2160p.
 
Is a good video, You would also see the other cards getting a reasonable jump in performance for VR scenarios if they back ported the software they are using for single pass rendering and Simultaneous Multi Projection to maxwell cards.

I saw lots of 1080 and missed the Ti :P

Yes. :p

I hate compromising on graphics settings, I always need to know i'm seeing "the best graphics", so would rather game at 1080p ultra than 4k on low or whatever.

Pulling the sliders back is a no no for me.

So do you disable motion blur, chromatic aberration, lens flare's, depth of field etc? since to me they lower the IQ of a game and waste FPS.
 
It's pretty funny watching all the hardcore team red supporters jumping on and back slapping any possible negative news for Pascal. It seems NV have really managed to rattle some insecure cages.

Since when was debunking marketing BS a bad thing? Some people seem to have a short memory of how many times Nvidia fans jump on the red team when AMD marketing gets it wrong.
 
2160p maxed is nice but it took 4x TXs to get this to run.

2160p

1440p

1080p

Is 2160p maxed worth the hassle for you.
