What?
No.
It will have something like 3/4 the amount of memory bandwidth due to using GDDR5 rather than the new GDDR5X like on the 1080. But they'll both have the full 8GB available.
I predict this will have a fairly minimum impact at 1080p/1440p.

The supposed leaked specs for the 1070 posted earlier state that it'll be an 8GB card. Whether that's 8GB or "8GB" remains to be seen of course.
Yeah I mean't 6GB as in the 970s 3.5. If the card only has 3/4s of the memory controllers...
But it may not be able to access all of it at full speed. We will see..

Well it is what I expected. In fact it is better. Quite surprised that the gap widens as the resolution goes up as well

Look at that, ~40% quicker than the 980Ti in 4k. Looks pretty mighty.
Not one for silly clocks on cards as there is always a game or two somewhere down the line that trips up a large overclock. I would much rather keep it conservative and have rock solid stability, and cool and quiet running.
A lot of people seem to be comparing these reference cards with the single pin connector to the 980Ti custom cooled binnned versions. Not really a fair comparison.
Launch price for the founders edition is silly, obviously. Will wait a few weeks the custom ones and for prices to come down.

I think the card to get maybe a 1070....
Then sell when ti hits for little loss...
Glad you can see and now agree with what I have been saying all along
To be fair, I am hoping many people think the price is really high/rip off/jokes/mugs buying, as I suspect the first cards to be in limited numbers, so at least I can get in and get one of the first batch, so keep them salty tears coming please
Dude... If you are going to quote my post, at least quote the whole thing, don't take it out of context... That was not nice
As for salty tears, not sure why you are looking at me. I will likely grab a 1070 which won't be that far behind a 1080 anyway
The guy said more than 2 cards he wouldn't recommend and I agree. Whilst it will be supoorted via an NVidia thing, tri and quad will be very poorly supported.

Soo is it faster than 2x 980s?
Where are you getting this idea of it only having three quarters of a memory controller? :/
That's what I meant sorry. Hoping to see some VR stuff soon.
Even my 980ti struggles a bit with high details in dcs. Mainly when looking to the side.
I'll not be buying anyway, I'll either get lucky with Evga step-up (60 days left) or I'll wait for 1080ti.
The memory controllers in maxwell were part of the SMXs. Remove some, you remove some memory controllers. If Pascal is similar..
(At least that's how I understood it, let's hope I'm wrong).

It very much is
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10326/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-preview/2 ( 980Ti but a Titan X and 980Ti are much of a muchness anyway)

Lol. If you say so grandad

Yeah 2way is the most I'd go. Majority of games run it well. 3-4 way and can have major problems. Games running slower than 2way etc. 20-30% at best over 2way. Really not worth it.
I do understand where nvidia are coming from here.
I do the same honestly. I keep my MSI 970 at only +100Mhz because I've had a couple instances where I had a higher clock and had to turn it down to run a particular game(like Witcher 3). This seems like a more consistently usable configuration with a much more relaxed fan profile.
TPU got the card late but still managed to do a review after a few hours. That may mean the results for the older cards are all based on older drivers, etc. At 4K the Fury X is not too far behind in some of the games..
Indeed. I had my 980 at 1500mhz but it would trip up here and there. Sure most of the time it was fine and benchmarks could loop all day without issue, but from experience most of these Maxwell cards at 1500mhz or more won't be 100% rock stable despite what people think. A new game always comes a long and knocks it on the head.
It just isn't worth it. Loving all the people in here though: "yeh well , my 980ti if it is clocked to the moon and back can get fairly close".

So if SSMs/SMXs are the only indication of performance, the 1070 with 15/20 will be 3/4s of the performance of a 1080. It's not going to be quite that straight forward though I'm guessing. It may have 8GB RAM, but only 3/4s of the memory controllers (6GB card anyone).
I expect 2 way SLI performance will be good TBH, up until GP100 comes out
2x970s won't be enough for me to get very high frame rates in upcoming games, and the VRAM will start to show it's weakness. And a 1080 at that price is not enough of a performance boost, so 1070 SLI is where I'm heading.
We'll see when it's released though.
I can see myself getting single 1080 that should hit 144hz on my 1080p screen for at least 2 years to come and then i may get 1440p with another 1080 or better.
My MSI 970s would only run stable in OC mode, the bench mode would lock them after about 20mins of gameplay
At 1080p, it'll be your CPU holding you back not a 1080 GTX. You won't need anything more.

I'll wait for Pascal Titan/Ti
Tempted to wait myself for the Ti, hoping they don't leave a long time between milking Titan to Ti though.

I should relay stop replying to FB comments which say Pascal/Maxwell cant do Async compute, you theirs only so much BS you can handle before you try and correct people
