Regarding the reviews due on the 17th, are these just on the FE cards?

Seems so, yes.

At a guess I'd say the AiB ones (at least the decent ones) are about 2-3 weeks behind

 

[NirK]

Definitely still an issue. Gsync might be able to do variable refresh rates, but it does not do a damn thing about inconsistent frametiming. Very much a 'per application' basis, though.


Potentially.

But then people said the same thing when GM204 was announced with a 256-bit bus.

But the GM204 is no good in new games at anything above 1080p.

 

[Mei]

yeh we might see some when the 1070 is released
would be nice

 

[Shampoo]

Anything yet on a concrete price for the 1080? I'm happy to go in at £550 (well, not happy, but I would), but any more and I might just drop down to a 1070. Also any word if stock will be plenty or will it be a restricted gouge-a-thon!

I'm selling my current 970 in prep and just curious how long I could be in limbo.

Yields are good according to Nvdia so hopefully stock isn't an issue. Hopefully prices will start at £500 (less hopefully but i cant see it with a $599 RRP) but no doubt there will be some price gouging.

Haha I knew it, all this talk about a 1070 i can see you getting something more powerful than a 1080 later on in the year or early 2017 as well place your order for Boom's second hand cards .

Haha , Broadwell -E is coming soon too.... God help me

I'm also selling my 970 now. Luckily I have exams that only finish on the 17th of June so no need for a GPU till then, and hopefully all the buyers rushing to get their cards first will have died down by then.

Hoping the 1080 won't go above £550 but we'll see

The memory says 5.5 there, would that be 11 effective? If so that looks like they will do that no problem then putting the memory bandwidth at 350GB/s, I also read that the Zotac card will come at 11.3 memory speed.

That would be quite good of true. They were originally supposed to be 12GB/s from what i have read, so maybe Nvidia are just being extra cautious putting them at 10GB/s at stock.

A temp of only 67 at over 2GHz clock

But the GM204 is no good in new games at anything above 1080p.

Its performance at 1440p was fairly proportional to what you'd expect from a mere lack of horsepower rather than any memory limitations.

At 4k, sure.

BYKSI announces first waterblock for GeForce GTX 1080

Byksi waterblocks! They are really the borg the Chinese :0

 

[BriT]

Looks pretty nice!

Hmm well I had a 970 and it was fine at 1080p as soon as I tried it at 1440p it was bad, I swapped for a 980ti and it felt twice as fast as the 970 (not saying it was but it seemed like that). Currently I am on a 5870 which is surprisingly good in that I can run rocket league at 3440x1440 85 fps with just about ok graphics settings! 1080 as soon as possible prob not the reference card though, pretty sure I want the gigabyte one as soon as it comes out!

V-sync on though

What's the crack with microstutter in SLI set-ups these days? Still an issue? If so, does G-Sync resolve it?

Pretty much non-existant nowadays. Not a single game I play has microstutter with SLI out of the 100+ I own.

 

[D.P.]

I read that the chips are rated at 12GBs and not 10Gbs like the 1080 has at default, not sure if that is correct or not. Can anyone confirm this? By far the main problem with the 1070 (why I don't think it will be any better or even as good as a Titan X) is the normal GDDR5 and 256bit.

I read the same, and it might make sense for early production GDDR5X just to be safe. It means that for a lot of people the memory chips might clock up decently.

 

[Bazzards]

No issues with SLI here either and I have not noticed microstutter at any point.

Those "Leaked" FireStrike scores don't look impressive at all for the 1080?? even overclocked, 26K isn't miles ahead of the 21-22K that 980tis can get now..
