He's not just dreaming he's in a deep coma it seems.


Adding more power will not give anything more than what these cards are giving right now, the only thing that will happen is the new coolers will keep the temps down and the clocks more stable at the higher end, so far the card throttles like crazy and is up and down with its clocks. The temps may have something to do with this but again a new cooler with 2 8pins will not make them much faster just cooler and more stable so they don't throttle so quickly.


The Nvidia hype bubble has been burst and the lies are now showing as we all see, 67c @2.1ghz ... LOL they really pulled a fast one there... That card was sat next to an air conditioner or water cooled.


It has a 50% increase in clocks and 25% average increase at all resolutions. It is also terrible still at 4K and some benchmarks even show the 980ti is better at 4K as the minimums don't drop as much.

A lot of the benchmarks are showing minimums on a 980ti are better than the 1080 ... make sure to read all the benchmarks not just the average FPS the Min FPS is important too, unless you like stutter and slow downs because of the large FPS gap from max to avg to min.

Not impressed with this card at all, it's a mid range part sold at high end part prices, £620 for a reference mid range top part is not just silly but utter stupidity...

So the 1070 will be easily £450+ at this rate and the 1080Ti will be £800 +/-£50


In short a 980ti oc model = 1080 stock. So the 1070 is not going to match a Titan X... not a chance ... Nvidia.... hype ...

Strange as my 980ti G1 running at 1550/2000 can't say I've found a game that struggles with my x34 GYSYNC.

Very odd indeed. Maybe you should have overclocked your 980ti?

Same here... Maybe he has an old cpu / motherboard causing a bottleneck ? Not sure what his full system specs are.


easyrider what CPU and motherboard do you have ?

I don't think you play GTA then. I have an x34.
GTA is pretty good for me but it will dip into the 50's which has a noticeable affect. And not all my GTA settings are at max, Ultra grass will still kill any GPU.
My 980ti is clocked as far as I can take it without pumping up the volts.
 
overall GTX 1080 is a great product, but price though 800€ in france which translates to 625£ is too much for a chip of this size.

Some of the mins are worse, and some of the mins are significantly higher.
It seems to vary across games and resolutions.
 
I have both my Ti's running at 1450. Even they struggle with some games 2560x1440 at 144hz. I couldn't see a single Ti driving 3440x1440 at 100hz without reduced settings or fps drops. I agree with easyrider on that one.
 
GeForce 1070 Spec

16 nm "GP104" silicon, 7.2 billion transistors, "GP104-200-A1" ASIC
1,920 CUDA cores, 15 out of 20 streaming multiprocessors enabled on the GP104 silicon
120 TMUs, 64 ROPs
256-bit GDDR5 memory, 8 GB standard memory amount
Max GPU Boost frequency 1600 MHz
6.75 TFLOP/s single-precision floating point performance
150W TDP, single 8-pin PCIe power connector
3x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x HDMI 2.0b
2-way SLI with SLI HB bridge support

Got to say, if the apparently confirmed 1070 specs floating out there are true, then I am disappointed :(

With those specs it will just about, if at all, be able to keep up with the 980Ti. Will have to wait and see. But if it cannot keep up with an 980Ti, I will just grab a Polaris XT while waiting for Vega/Big Pascal.

Just all seems a bit sad really. There was very little performance between the 780Ti and 970. With two jumps in a node I expected a little more... But we are getting the drip drip... :(

Will wait for the reviews to be sure, but won't hold my breath at this point.

This is interesting:

PCGamesHardware tried the GTX1080 with a better non-reference cooler and said the reference board is power limited!!

I'll certainly be waiting for a custom board then! Still looks well for the custom cards with hopefully 8+6 pin. Should be a greater overclocking potential.

Kind of sucks though unless hopefully the likes of EVGA do a reference board with 6+8pin power. Possibly on the SC edition. Or it's a couple months for custom EK blocks :(.

Just shows what you can do when you strap an aluminium brick to a card :p

I think the Titan Z cooler is the closest they've ever done to something like that, not very practical in terms of bulk but it squeezes the performance out pretty well.

it's still better than what my mind went to when i heard founder's edition for the first timee, i was thinking the founder would be like intel's K version, with hardware limits, allowing only 2pins to founders.
but if the end turns out all cards are 1 pin, probably gonna need more time for AIBs to do their custom PCBs if Nvidia allows them to, still a lot better than charging extra for overclocking, i would'v hated that :D

If thats true then they are going for Ti prices. Id expect 1080ti to be around that price. Can see another round of milking going on and id expect a lot to fall for it again.

That seems to be what they're aiming for. 1080 for the price of a Ti, so I wouldn't be surprised if the 1080Ti is in the £750 even £800 range
 
Already posted?

NVIDIA has confirmed to Kyle that partner cards will be available on the same day as the founders edition (launch day 27th May):

altho i agree with a lot you said i dont think its a terrible card
tho i dont think its great either, the customs should be pretty good!
this founders card obviously has some flaws, its a shame so many reviewers brush over that bcos they being politcal, im actually getting *swear word* bored of them greedy *swear word*sticks... :(

again we have to weed thru the 20 bs reviews to get a little truth out of them

Yep I've been playing around with hardware for years...

Water cooling

Phase?

I know what I'm on about ...

Most of the time :p
