Just looks like they've pushed it really hard on the core speed and the 2ghz plus cards will be as rare as hen's teeth,.

I swear people just invent expectations in order to make a 'disappointed' sort of complaint.
Expectations were varied. Some people said it wasn't going to be great. Many predicted it'd be just about exactly where it is(which you're conveniently ignoring). And then there were a minority of overzealous folks who ignorantly thought this was going to be some 4k/60fps at max settings cards.
So I dont really know where you're coming from.
It's a 320mm^ card that is 20-30% faster than a 980Ti overall and has clearly improved DX12 capability. Anybody who was expecting more than that was being silly and were likely stated as being so beforehand.

I'm pretty sure it will start to throttle incrementally from about the 62c mark, certainly if it is anything like TitanX and the 980Ti. I imagine that to maintain the maximum boost clocks you would need to try and keep the temps at or around the 60c mark via a very aggressive (read very loud) fan profile.

Interesting where the GTX1070 will hit with less cores and much less memory bandwidth!!
How about reading all my post instead of taking a little choice quote and putting your own spin on it.
I've got a 290x and am looking to upgrade.
The 1080 certainty looks impressive, unfortunately at £619 it's a no go for me.
It's not that i can't afford £619, i can. It's that AIB will be out the following month and likely clocked higher with a better cooler and for less. So i'll purchase then.

So after my first reaction of god that's impressive, looking at the O/C'd results it doesn't seem to be the case.
People running high O/C's on their Ti's/TX's like me there doesn't appear to be 10% init bruv.
Below is the comparison of a TX with a "mild" O/C of 1367mhz:
...And the 1080 running 1959-2050mhz:
Another website shows the same thing, TX first:
I'm by no means an expert but how can a 1080 stock be 30% faster than a stock TX but only 10% faster at their max overclocks?

I did not take anything you said out of context. I was commenting on the bit where you said the hype was suggesting it was going to be much better than it is. But I dont know what 'hype' you were talking about, as I certainly didn't see that many people thinking it was going to be any better.
People selling golden sample 980ti's off for under £400 (1550-1600mhz) for one of these
Selling something with limited info to go on always has its risks (think they are going by the 1070 rumors).
Hmm how is the GTX 1080 really only 20-40% faster than a stock GTX 980 ti? I mean it has got 10% less CUDA cores, but ~60% higher boost clocks with better, faster and more memory?
320mm^ chip vs 600mm^ chip.
When you look at the overclocking and pricing, it certainly is not as impressive as what I originally thought when just looking at the game performance graphs and falls back to what I originally expected to happen with regards to a OC'd 980ti
If I where buying a gpu now, I would certainly be going for the second hand 980tis, especially if you can get one for <£400
I fully expect second hand 980ti prices to be going back up to >£400 now though!
Surely 2x970s is enough for us all low4pro players?
If battlefront is anything to go by, I think BF 1 is going to perform extremely well.
I easily get 144 fps in BF4 in low for (wanabe)pro, and solid 135 with eye candy, BFHLs was more like 120 with eye candy and battlefront ~ 115. I'm expecting another drop for BF1, so I probably will upgrade.
But those prices... Need to see where the 1070 is at.
Well you must not read much if that's the case. I already said for 980 performance level it's a good upgrade but not for ti owners. Bit that's not the card it was intended to replace anyway.
With the nvidia demo onstage running at 2.1ghz and 67c it's obvious people thought it would have a lot of thermal headroom, obviously with the release of reviews this isn't the case.

What do you mean might well start? This has been their business model for years lol.

I don't understand why so many people are freaking out about the price and OC potential. Did you even read the reviews? Overclocking is obviously limited by a poor reference cooler; why don't you take a pill and wait for custom cards before crying havoc.
Regarding price, we're obviously going to see decreases in the next couple of weeks when AiB cards start popping up.
There is no competition from AMD right now, at all. Nvidia can set any price they want and still sell their entire stock on launch. I don't expect having to pay more than ~£500 when I buy one in early September.

It looks like a good upgrade from my 970 that I sold, especially now I have a 1440p monitor, and I've saved up the £££ for a new GPU..
That said, I still won't be buying it if I can't get an AIB card for £550 or less. If it is more than that, I'll be looking at used 980Ti or 1070.

Again, I did not take anything you said out of context. I commented on the bit that I quoted. The bit specifically about saying the hype was suggesting it was going to be better than it turned out. I am contesting that there was not actually any hype that was suggesting it was going to be better. Most people were being entirely realistic about what it'd be capable of.
You saying that it's a good jump from a 980 is irrelevant to what I was talking about.
If you were talking purely about overclocking potential specifically(which you never stated), that is different.

Said yesterday 980ti all the way best time to scoop up the ti's g1 msi ect seen them go for £300 mark get two of them in sli if peeps are into that is the best deal..
And even the seller may state its OC capabilities so no need to roll the dice ....
DP has explained this quite a few times, I am sure he will be along to do it again soon
