any eta on release of the 1080?
27th May.
Some custom cards could be on that date (awkwardly worded by Nvidia), but latest June some time as Gigabyte have already teased their extreme edition for a June release.

any eta on release of the 1080?
I have never been nothing but a multi GPU user and never had problems.
Just takes a bit more skill and setup to get the best out of it.

In regards to the Micron Thing, there was a full press release with them stating that GDDR5X would go into mass production in the summer.
The news now is that Micron has ramped up full production and brought it ahead of their original schedule.
It was never a rumour that micron were going into production in the summer for GDDR5X, it was a fact before the more recent announcement.
if it turns out not to be correct then it isn't a fact, no matter the source of the information, they were wrong, and later corrected themselves
Odd, I got noticeably worse frames in SLI, more stutter etc. It's been a while since I've tried it though, maybe it's improved?
With regards to other titles in SLI though my experience has been pretty positive.
3440x1440 @ 60fps maxed on Witcher 3 was beautiful.
So is it true you can't SLI pascal with more than two units?
And that Pascal does not support ASYNC compute?
Same here, rather wait a few weeks and get the cheaper card that makes less noise.
You plan on upgrading to 1080, or you going to hold out for Vega/big pascal?
its not so much what you did or didn't say (or even how wrong you were, though you were), it was the complete lack of respect for anyone wanting to have a discussion around the rumours that were popping up on external sites, whilst at the same time perpetuating other rumours, which also turned out not to be correct
thats the nature of rumours, they are going to be somewhat apocryphal, or at the very least wildly innacurate, you don't actually have to go ballistic at people for discussing them... your rumours turned out to be just as wrong, though somehow you seem to be trying to say that they were "based on information" but they weren't they based on massive assumptions (that turned out to be wrong)
consequently, you are getting a bit of ribbing for it, you can either take in good jest and admit you were wrong, or... do that ^ whatever that is
In regards to the Micron Thing, there was a full press release with them stating that GDDR5X would go into mass production in the summer.
from DM and his belittlement essay ended up being so far wrong,
Followed a few months later that they were ahead of schedule. Followed in march with news that their financials will grown end of Q2 due GDRR5X.
We knew since the start of the year that their production was ahead of their original summer schedule yet people still blinded repeated old out-dated information.
$600 seems cheap for the best graphics card in the world? So I've worked that out at £415 is that right?
Thanks.
This seems to be your last bastion of hope for scoring a 'win' here, isn't it?Every indication is still that launch in June volume will be small and we won't see wider spread availability till a bit later.
