Amazing clocks and can't wait to try it out and just checked my emails and my Rift has been shipped (at last), so will be trying it out in VR as well :D

Christmas in my house this month :p

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..

20k is about the maximum for a 980Ti. Thats with a maximum overclock.

2.1ghz may be a relatively low overclock on what these new cards are capable of. If the 2.4ghz is true. 2.5ghz may be possible.

Still 26k is practically 980Ti SLI territory here. Best score for me is 26606 with my Ti's and CPU maxed out. 200 points more than a single overclocked 1080.

Who knows what cpu they used aswell?

All sounding very promising.

A lot of supporting rumours about high overclocking now.

Nvidia designed a brand new architecture based around maximizing the clock rate by streamlining all the CUDA cores to minimize critical path lengths. The 1.6Ghz stock clock is likely quite conservative to maximize yields, allowing the AIBs to do all the clock testing and binning at their expense to sell out of the box clocked cards that reach incredible speeds.

We already saw with maxwell that Nvidia started moving in this direction, all Maxwell cards had quite high **** speeds, overclocked very well and allow AIBs to sell some much faster cards.


the only downside is you will see plenty of reviews comparing stock vs stock cars where the 1080 will look decent but wont really show its true potential. We saw this with the 980Ti where most reviews used a stock clocked card but most cards sold had a factory OC so the reviews underplayed how fast the 980 Ti really is.
 
can you imagine the full chips with hbm2
i want to see the cards REALLY twice as fast as a titan-x and the size of a 970 mini :)

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!

It 'felt bad' because it's not powerful enough to run modern games at 1440p/60fps. Not because its memory bandwidth was some major bottleneck.

A 980Ti *is* capable of running these games at 1440p/60fps, though, which is why it felt much better. A solid 60fps will always be a significant improvement over a rocky 30-50fps framerate.

This is just a raw horsepower thing, not a memory bandwidth issue.

Will i need to update my motherboard bios? running F2 from 2013.

Those boards are finicky with new hardware so if there is a new BIOS, certainly but I am pretty sure if my ailing memory serves, it was the 7 series and above that was a pain, so if you have a 780 running, you should be fine but again, if there is a newer BIOS, get it :)
