Not sure why so many people get so hyped up by only getting a 12-15% increase on games already released and in the past..

Should be looking at the future state.. 30/40% increase in directx 12 titles I am more excited about... couldn't give 2 danglers that Tomb raider a game i have played and will never pick up again runs 12% faster.

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.

Might want to read around some other forums and put that theory to the rest,i seen plenty of examples of people expecting 40%+ over a ti. Then we had the quote the other day saying nvidias overclock was conservative adding more fuel to the fire.

Yeh first impressions - wow this looks good....

Then compare to an overclock that ALL 980ti can do easily... which is about 1400mhz, you can do that on a reference card no problems and no risk at all as it does that on default voltage etc.

That is an 18% overclock...

1860 > 2050mhz is a 10% overclock...

To keep that big lead it has in the reviews at stock.... it really needs to easily overclock by 18% like all 980ti will do... Which would be 2170mhz....

So comparing to a 980ti you can knock 8% off the results.

If you have a massively OC 980ti at 1500mhz, then the 1080 is not very impressive compared to that.

I was hoping the rumors of gigabyte G1 2.4Ghz might be true.

But if you are one of these people with a 980ti or Titan X at 1500mhz, then its not a big upgrade.

Correct.

Pricing on the founders edition is silly when converted to the £

They'll probably still sell well though but <£500 would have been nice.

I'll be waiting for the Titan/1080ti although who knows how much a Titan will be this time around. North of £1000 could well be possible if they bring compute functions back.

And thanks again for the verdict, think I'll be doing the same, oh well got excited at first when I saw them stock results, but it's going to throttle right down around 2000mhz and won't do anymore therefore only 10% over my card isn't really worth the swap I'd get for my TX and cooler at this point, when will we be seeing the 1080ti people?
 
Looks good with the Async compute.... that should help with DX12 games.... looks like they actually made some good progress with that.

I will be getting one... because my 980ti is gone...

I hope that as newer games come out the lead will increase a bit, because the results in AOS benchmarks compared to 980ti look good.

Just hope that the custom cards will do a 15% overclock, then the 1080 will keep most of its lead compared to a 980ti with a 18% overclock.

Also every review says that the new overclocking boost 3.0 is not working properly etc. So maybe with custom cards it will be better... 2.4Ghz gigabyte G1 is looking extremely unlikely though!

If you were talking solely about overclocking headroom, then sure man. But you did not make that clear whatsoever.
 
Good news everyone. The 1080 is on part with Console graphics.

I remember the FuryXs were around £650 at some point, and they only have 4GB vram. :p

Fury X was AMD's top card though, the cherry on top of their range. The 1080 is the initial high end part before the 1080Ti, realistically the 1080 should be at the £450-£500 mark. Then the Ti at the £500-£650 mark.

The 67c at 2.1Ghz will be on an open test bench with fan at 100% in a climate controlled room.

It's because they had v-sync on. As shown in precision X on the demo at launch. The card was not running to its true potential. 60% usage maybe?

Ref cooler seems **** poor though. 80c at stock? Doesn't bode well for SLI or aftermarket non blower coolers without water cooling. Even my Ti's were cooler.

I'm wanting these cards but I really don't know at the minute at all, might have to hold off. Don't think the £600 will ever be justified. Stock Ti at 1075mhz is 20-30% behind. A Ti at 1450 is literally neck and neck.

Many reviewers can't even push the 2.1ghz like nvidia showed due to thermals. Really need hybrid cards and or EK to release blocks so we can see what they are capable of.
