The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

The thing that has totally taken me by surprise is the core clockspeeds the 1080 is capable of.

I was expecting an extra couple of hundred MHz because of the die shrink but nothing like some of the figures I have seen going around.
 
Ooh, I can just about squeeze in ten and a half inches (oo eerr) so I could treat myself to one of these.

DSR at 1080p might just make me consider one.

Yea, which is why it's going to be good to get some actual concrete figures on performance. Although, I fear the early reviews post NDA may be the usual rosy perspective by review sites who don't want to upset the hand that feeds.

I think it's because Nvidia wanted the stock clocks to be within a certain power window. You know to show power savings, save the planet and all that. So they might be very low clocks to what Pascal is actually capable of.

Maybe put them big pics behind spoiler tags as the top half of this topic is filled with massive pics when you really dont need them that big for just a gpu. Just a suggestion.
 
Ah crap it's not good enough to upgrade to. Gotta wait for 1080ti now :( 38 to 48fps in 4k Witcher 3 isn't going to replace my solid 60+ in SLI. If they bring one out that'll sit at 2500mhz all day long then it'll be a worthy downgrade in terms of cost though.
 
Ok, so who will be buying? I am still in and the price of £620 is roughly where I expected it to be for the FE card.
