I think it's what most of us thought. the clocks are just about maxed. The Maxwell cards have much more headroom so when comparing stock v stock it looks good but when you overclock the maxwell cards it's not impressive at all.

Oh *takes a step back*

TPU says the performance jump is decent but the reference cooler is not so good:

Compare the 1080oc results to the 980ti Matrix oc results and it's overall not great.

So its confirmed the 980ti is a steal 2nd hand at £300 ..well that's if it over-clocks well and do not mind munching 250w+tdp
so going with a gigabyte g1 msi ect should be fine but you have to roll the dice unless the seller is kind to share its OC capabilities ...

1080 sucks, bring on 1070.

Agreed

 

[humbug]

looking at the numbers or am i missing anything here? so an over-clocked 980 ti is all-most on par

the number for the non oc 980 ti are the same in the 1080 review

but the oc on the g1 well ?

1080



980ti

Your chewing up their bandwidth by hotlinking...

I'll host them, or host them yourself

This is overclocker's lol. Where we push cards to blowing point to see some good numbers. It's a really nice boost from what i have seen for those that won't be pushing things. On this front i am impressed but for those with a 980ti/Titan X running decent clocks it's not that impressive.

 

[GFX-Kid]

1080 sucks, bring on 1070.

Oh yea! That's what I am interested in

Hopefully we get the reviews out for those soon.

 

[whyscotty]

So its confirmed the 980ti is a steal 2nd hand at £300

Be quick b4 the price goes up

 

[Ayahuasca]

I'm really interested in what the Titan equivalent will be able to do.

The high end cards of this generation will be the first single 4k capable cards I think.

 

[Mauller]

It is what I was saying from the start. Once the gm100 parts are clocked up the gap is far smaller than NVIDIA were making out. The Maxwell parts have more cores so get a bigger bump in performance for every % overclocked.

Only the 2.5 ghz parts will show a fair difference to overclocked Maxwell parts. But you need to be on water for those.

So when are the 1070 reviews coming out?

The 1080 is a good card, but it's not £619 good. Those on a 980Ti and Titan X are still better off waiting until the 1080Ti appears. Which will probably be launched at roughly the same price with the 1080 dropping into the £400-£500 price range.

It's still terrible that people are going to get screwed twice with this card, once with early adopters tax and again with the founders edition tax. And yet, even known this, people seem happy to pay.

Running my TX on hybrid @ 1500mhz, seems the 1080 @ 2000mhz won't be much quicker?

 

[Phixsator]

the truth is here and the 1080 doesnt look that impressive any longer for the money they want.. those who wanted to upgrade from 970/980 or before better crap a 980ti 2nd hand while supply last seems like a better deal imho..

 

[fs123]

so pcper's sample got to 2025 but a staggering 85 degrees.. wtf.. thats ffing fare off the nvidia's events 2100ish @67 degrees.. waaay off temp wise

EDIT: just seen the kitguru video.. now im confused..

The kitguru video is not a stabilised temp as you can see it gradually moves upto 62C when the video is abruptly cut off. If they were honest they would have shown the temp after the benchmark had been running for at least 10 mins.

They are so deep in Nvidia's pockets that they try and pull the wool over people eyes.

 

[geordiejc]

In 3dark ultra On my EVGA 980 Ti i achieved a graphics score of 4756 (OC'd)
A 1080 can achieve 5548 (OC'd @ 2.05)

Thats only 15% faster than an OC'd 980 Ti.

 

[Rasphelt]

Well I am in for 3, not 4 though. I will use these and then trade up once the TI/X comes out!

Cheers

1080 does look impressive, but not at that price. I'm going to wait for the 1070 reviews, I don't really need to upgrade until BF1 beta anyway.

 

[Seanspeed]

I think it's what most of us thought. the clocks are just about maxed. The Maxwell cards have much more headroom so when comparing stock v stock it looks good but when you overclock the maxwell cards it's not impressive at all.

I remember when the reference 980's were reviewed, sites weren't managing more than like 1300-1350Mhz base clocks when overclocking. But when the 3rd party cards went out, it was fairly common for people to be getting 1500Mhz clocks.

So I'd wait on judgement about overclocking potential til those get out. And especially what actual users are getting.

If you are going for VR then the 1080 is better. But not for their launch price.
