Crysis 3 with max settings and FXAA @ 1080P. V Sync on card turbos to around 1100Mhz, it downclocks lol. Not even breaking a sweat. Witcher 3 with everything set to max preset is same story, higher clocks but nice and smooth. Will do some 1440P tests later. The 1080 is fast. The Ti card will be insane.

All the more reason to ignore the 1080 and wait for the Ti. Why settle for second fiddle when one can have the big guns? Anyhows, enjoy your 1080, finally a card that can sort out Crysis 3 at 1080p lol. It'll be a long while yet before one will be able to max it and hold 60+ at 1440p going by that. Let's just hope Crysis 4 doesn't come along and make mince of the 1080 anytime soon.

Can't wait for the Ti and Vega too at that.

Crysis 3 is the perfect example of how easy it is to throw minor, but super expensive graphics effects at a game that make it *super* hard to run at max settings.

What's crazy is that Crysis 3 at medium settings runs beautifully and looks maybe 90-95% as good as on Ultra.

Makes me facepalm when I hear people who are obsessed with needing to 'max' a game out and rubbish a game because it doesn't run at 60fps on their hardware at these settings with their high end GPU.

been saying for years max settings is a scam by the devs/GPU makers

i remember Crysis 2 they added excessive tessellation to scenes you couldnt even see just to cripple performance and make you want to upgrade

usually a mix of max/high and medium produces the same visuals but with 30-40% more FPS
 
Not necessarily a scam as it's good to push the limits but I agree knocking the detail levels down from say Ultra to High or turning the odd setting down can give a massive increase in FPS for very little change in image quality.
 
There are some settings that dont make a lot of difference, but I am really missing some decent AA in a few titles right now, hoping the 1080 gets me over that hump and lets me keep the same FPS but just notch up the AA a setting or two

Many AAA titles are using deferred rendering these days, which makes MSAA an extremely inefficient AA technique.

But either way, the real problem is we're getting FAR more detailed graphics nowadays. And many games are bigger than ever, meaning draw distances are often a big consideration. So high detail objects, plus the distance of many objects, combine to a big nightmare for anti-aliasing.

It's made me a believer in 4k. I had previously thought that 1080p plus good AA would be 'good enough', but I was terribly wrong once I saw how detailed 'next gen' games were. And it's only going to get worse(better, graphically speaking). We need 4k to come in to cleanly resolve all this extra detail devs want to portray.

I've got no problem with people like Kaap who want to shell out the big bucks for the latest and greatest. If they have the money and get enough personal enjoyment out of their expenditures, awesome. It's not my place to tell others what they should or shouldn't spend their money on, regardless of how different I'd do things.

I only get uppity when people say things against a game/developer. People who complain a game is 'badly optimized' just because they throw things on max and it's not running a smooth 60fps with their setup. This bothers me because it's straight up ignorance and developers(who are real people; people who have made a career out of making us video games to enjoy) can get a bad rap from it if enough people get in on the hate, which is quite common with how today's outrage culture works.

SLi seems to be pretty broken overall with the 1080's at present :(

Which is a shame as I was gonna go out this avo and get another!! :p

They way things are going it appeard as if Nvidia arent going to be focusing on sli as much! Two is supported by Nvidia but you can have more than two but if it will scale well is another question. So maybe Nvidia are not seeing sli as a priority atm?

Yup, you can be pretty sure that they'll be leaving it to the dev's for DX12 games too!

Bit of a **** for us 4k owners :(

guys is 85 degrees while running the graphics card normal? Seems hot and is hot in this room lol. ??? That is on overwatch epic settings
Click to expand...

Have you got a custom fan curve? If not the 85 has been seen in reviews as it appears Nvidia have used a less than modest fan profile. 85 is fine though but the GPU will throttle to keep it from getting hotter. So id suggest try creating a fan profile with MSI afterburner which helps cool it better. :D
