No, I think they will be fair enough. I don't think for a second there will be any lies or anything like that going on.

But equally I think they will be "favorable" and "shown in the best light".
If hardware cannucks wants to get an all expenses trip paid to E3 again, then he would do well to test games where the 1080 performs "best". and maybe leave out the games where it performed poorest...

But my cynicism aside, I am very excited to see the results. :)

Well as AdoredTV pointed out, Nvidia showed on their own graphs that the 1080 is around 70% faster than a 980. No doubt they looked at the best case scenario. So if a bench claims more than that its a bit suspicious :)

I'm more interested in the recent Dx12 games. Will it do really better than Maxwell?

I'm interested in the DX12 stuff, but I wouldn't say it is at all a priority for me given that most games are still going to be DX11 for quite a while.

I do expect when Polaris releases, AMD are going to push DX12 benches hard, though.

I'm pretty sure that is just a rough figure, not a "All games will be exactly 70% faster" sort of thing.

I'm interested because i'd like to see if Pascal is an improvement, or just Maxwell on higher clocks :)

We can agree tho, that nvidias own graphs should show the best case they could find. So i expect lower than that on average in real life performance.

Even there isn't a notable improvement, that still wouldn't show that it's just 'Maxwell on higher clocks'. It would just show they didn't put an emphasis on that specific thing.

Also, there's more to DX12 than just asynchronous shaders.

So that was stock setup he run those tests on? ive not really looked at benchmark results, how did his stack up against stuff? GTA5 @ 4K was like 28fps or something? how does that compare to current gen stuff?

Obviously his benchies were all stock too, so gotta take that into comparison, 83c under load at stock as well, i know the 290's hit 90c, hopefully those 1080s can go higher temp wise ok like the 290.

Considering Nvidia had their 1080 at 67'c they must have been setting the fan to 100%.
 
83c at stock boost clocks... Not looking good for overclocking the Founders Edition then? The one nVidia showed us at 2.1ghz and 67c must have been 100% fan?
