Lol will wait for the 1080ti Classified and see if that will be worth its money (expecting stupid prices ). . 1080 = 980ti oc models in short +/- 5% then add the ridiculous price increase on what is basically a mid range part. Well done Nvidia with the bogus hype. Now waiting for the Maxwell gimping to start... This is what happens when the market has no real compatition, die shrink and everything added up makes this a fail,it's the 680 of this generation. When the 780 versions appear these will be bargain basement prices as what happened to the 680.

Wasnt 83c pretty much a given on the stock 980ti/tx cooler, and pretty loud too? As mentioned above, aftermarket cooled models should run a good deal quieter and cooler.

it is also a matter that Nvidia want you to pay more for the founders edition when it doesn't hold its clocks unless the fan is set to F1 engine.
 
I want the 1080 ti or two of them.

I already sold 2 x TX in anticipation of the overnight value crash with a big announcement from Nvidia imminent.

For the meantime, I'm not sure. A single overclocked 1080 to tide me over, or 2 x 1070s to go underwater.

Toms hardware measured 46.8db, though they noted its more of an air movement sound than a fan motor.
 
The Benchmarks Ive seen so far are hardly earth shattering, nowhere near what was said at the press launch

Also unless you are gaming at 4k I see no reason to upgrade from a 980ti not at the silly money the 1080 is going to cost.

It is semi earth shattering as an indicator of the 1080 Ti performance. The 1080's performance per mm2 die size is hugely impressive.

Also, as has been mentioned a couple of times already, the 1080 appears to be held back by its single power connector and stock cooler.

I'd guess we'll see at least 2.3-2.4 GHz out of custom cards. And that should put it over 30% faster than a maxed out 980 Ti, and 60-70% faster than a stock 980 Ti.

I think your dreaming a bit to much.. dont hold your breath.. but i guess time will tell if your wish comes true.
 
End of the day it is a good card just over priced and hyped up to much really, Nvidia can take the blame for some of the hype but most lay at the hands of customers.

eehh, dont know what benchmarks you've been looking at but for me its qutie the opposite. The reviews are showing much performance gains than was indicate by the launch.
