Stock for stock it is 30% - 40% faster.

Comparing it to maximum overclocked custom 980Ti's is a bit unfair at this stage in my opinion (ie comparing a reference 1080 with a single pin connector to a G1 980Ti).

It is hardly that brilliant that a custom 980Ti could possibly (if you win the silicon lottery) have its neck rung out to get a bit close to a reference 1080. Also, it will use loads more power, and it is guaranteed.

Ignore hi, hes trolling.

i've not seen a single benchmark where there was only a 20% lead, I'm sure somewhere there is if you look hard enough but there are plenty of real-world cases where the 1080 is over 405 faster than 980tTi. So his opening mark is completely wrong, its not 20-30% but 25-42% faster.

The t the quip about TPU is just stupid because they overclocked the memory by 16%






Then there is the simple fact that the benchmark results from independent reviewers are actually giving performance increases greater than what Nvidia were announcing at the launch event.

Did you watch the Nvidia conference? The hype was huge and Jen tried to trick some into twice the performance of Titan X. Some people here actually believed it and more importantly some of my friends who are not non hardware fans were stating this until i put them straight. Big up to Nvidia and Jen as the message got through. Great advertising full stop.

No man. I've seen nobody here actually expecting 2xTitanX performance.

If some ignorant people got the wrong impression outside this forum, then whatever, that cant be helped(there will always be ignorant people), but anybody who is well in-the-know goes around acting like the hype was 'totally unjustified', then they are purposefully playing up the hype in order to have a go. No other way around it man.

I see you're probably in the group I'm talking about.

i am sure they only stated 2-3x the performance of the titanx when using Single pass rendering and Simultaneous multi projection in VR.

Yea they did but he repeated it well after the graph was removed and kept repeating it. Great marketing but to me wrong to be hammering it home so much that people think it's outside of VR.
 
The guys who are disappointed with the performance should be happy, as it keeps the money in the wallet longer. Not massive gains but now the dust has settled, I think most of us with half a brain switched on in the GPU world was expecting 20-30 percentage increases over the 980Ti. It is a small die compared to what we have had recently and it should whet the appetite for those looking to get the big Ti/Titan cards when they eventually come out. If it wasn't for the VR and me giving my Youtube channel a boost with benches, I don't feel I would be upgrading. It feels a bit like going from a Titan to a 980 in reality (although there is more performance this time).

As for those who felt it was going to be twice as fast as a Titan X because Jen Hsun said it.... I LOL at such stupidity.

So you're saying that the fault is on people not understanding the context of the statement? I would agree with that.

These cards are very well priced in my eyes, personally i won't be tempted to pick one up but i think considering some of the current 980ti's are £550+ i think anyone upgrading from a 7xx series card is going to be very happy.

Something i have yet to see anyone touch on is how much more powerful the 1080 is in VR than say a 980ti/TitanX

No you got to compare like for like 680/780/980/1080 high end to high end, if you don't every time a new generation comes out faster and you play more you end up 1000 for a mid range card and there will not be a market for graphic's cards at that rate.
 
We have to compair it against what we have now, we have Ti's/TX's at 1500mhz which means the 1080 @ 2000mhz is hardly any quicker. So not worth the upgrade, in 6 months time when we have hybrid 1080's @2400mhz it'll be a different matter again.

ignorant ppl got the wrong impression??
wow thats harsh!
he said it with no context, he was not talking about vr at all when he said it
and the 65c tricks that was outright misleading lol

Simultaneous multiprojection works without VR too, but that will be its main application. But either way, the SMP tech was the context of what was being talked about.
 
Right now its about as an overclockers dream card as the Fury.

AMD paid hell for that, but its ok for Jens to do it.
