** The Official Nvidia GeForce 'Pascal' Thread - for general gossip and discussions **

I notice the overclockers 1080 and 1070 pages actually exist rather than giving an error 404 page now :p.....pity they're empty though.
 
Was just looking at the Fast Sync slide.

So is this essentially Freesync, but with nvidia's name? If so nice. Won't need to waste money on g-sync for my next monitor :)

Edit: Saw the next slide. Suddenly does not look as good.
 
I think the fact they showed the card running at 67c is more surprising, they never really said it was full load but it seemed like they were implying that those were full load temps.

But was no doubt in an air condition room as it was on display so no high humidity or temperatures for ambient.

In a typical room inside a case on a summers day, it will be hotter.

Plus it has always being NVIDIA fashion to set the fan profile to not start speeding up until around 80c and to then just hold the card at 80c.

I suspect when the demo was done a custom profile was set of the ambient temperatures were pretty low due to air conditioning. :)

In what conditions though and fan speed?

For example I don't think I've ever gotten the GPU temps most sites give in their reviews due to using open workbench PC's in climate controlled offices/labs.

If Edward's video review is genuine at least that seems to be done in 'real 'world' conditions and setup.

Same with AMD, when I first got this card the fans did next to nothing till 85 degrees and then went MENTAL.
Afterburner for the win.
 
Oh dear, I was all prepared to sit this generation out and happily read reviews without the pressure of potential purchase. Then a friend of mine said he'd give me £300 for my 980 Ti to go SLI. Hmm...

Bite his hand off!

Worse case you can add another £20 or so on top and get you a 1070 :)

Just have to wait and see how the reviews pan out, but I find it odd they'd show the card running at 67c on stage then the retail and reviewer cards run much hotter. I just wonder if reviewers will address that point as it was never stated about full load temps but the implication was there, why else show it at those temps?

Quite possibly, pretty shady though considering pretty much everyone took out of it that those temps were around what was to be expected of the retail cards.

A blower type cooler very rarely would run at such a low temp unless the fan is running at high speed. They might have had the blower running at 100% which would be pretty noisy imo.

If the leaked review is real then I doubt the founders edition card will be good for overclocking unless you put a water cooler on it.
 
They have been there ages mate, click Gtx 980 for example then you would have changed the 980 in the url to 1080 ;)

That's what i did, i did it early last week in the hope someone messed up and it gave a 404 :p Thought today would be the most likely day they appeared though.

Anxious to know an exact cost!

Wouldn't get my hopes up.

The panels in the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are global update displays, which makes tearing a far lesser issue. Meaning that traditional vsync is probably doing a bit more than it needs to when it comes to VR programs. I think this is just a special version of vsync for VR.

Yeah. Makes sense.

I just got happy without going through all the slides first. Lol
 
For 8x AA MAXED OUT @ 4k thats pretty impressive!
