Its an absolute certainty that the fan would be running at 100% in the demo. The clocks were 400mhz above stock amd the card was at full load (as far as I am aware).

The coolers on reference cards are very good and efficient at high RPM. Unfortunately they are also very noisy. I would suggest that to maintain clocks of 2ghz+ that fans will need to be run pretty high to prevent thermal throttling which usually occurs in stages.
 
Interesting that the new high bandwidth SLI bridge is recommended for 1440p @120Hz and above..

I also wonder whether the same can be done simply by using 2 standard SLI connectors between a pair of cards.

How can it have such a higher clock speed and such small gains at 4k? didn't Nvidia say it would be considerably faster than the Titan? even the 1070? at 4K that is simply not going to be the case. 4/5fps gains on a 980Ti. I think you will be lucky to get 2/3fps gains over a Titan. We shall see.
 
So it adds 5-10 FPS in 4k on base clock vs EVGA SC.

I over-clocked my EVGA 980 Ti SC to 1500mhz boost so that gap will have reduced.

Starting to get sellers remorse after selling my 980 ti now. Hopefully 2.1 Ghz overclocks will ramp this up substantially.

I dont get what people are expecting. Percentage-wise, it's getting about as much of an improvement as at 1080p.

Anybody who understands what 4k means should have known this was not going to make 4k/60fps gaming a serious proposition.

It's important how it performs at 4K. Nobody needs this to perform well at 1080p. We already have cards that max out 1080p. so getting 300fps at 1080p is irrelevant. We want to game at 1440p and 4k now. The 1080p stuff is largely irrelevant because you can get a 970 or 390 that will smash 1080p anyway.
 
so approximately a 15 to 20 % increase without factoring in overclocking ?
thats actually in line with what I expected, perhaps you guys expectations were too high ?

If you overclock both cards fully I think it will go up to about 25% better than a 980Ti

Did you miss the fact the chip is half the size of the 980ti?

4K gaming will still need Sli, but this should be good for 1440p.
 
It all depends on the price of the 80

If its over £500 which i suspect it will be more nearer to £600 then surly 2nd hand 980ti is the way to go. can not justify £250 £300 pound more to get 15 to 25% increase
