Nvidia Geforce 1080 - 1070 announced!

Ill take 46% better than my gtx 970, I'm eager for uk price and pre-order date,never in my life have I pre-ordered a graphics card

 

Somehow real benchmark results do not look so amazing. Same as OCed 980.

Unless I am looking at something wrong, it tests higher than an overclocked 980 Ti

 

Mere 5% difference with factory OC 980Ti including 4K and VR tests which were considered to be Pascal's areas of improvement. And overclocking potential on par with AMD cars. That's meh

 

It's an apples to Orange comparison you would have to overclock the 1080 to determine the delta. I would think you would want to wait for the 1080 TI (or whatever iteration uses the same GPU but with high bandwidth memory 2) and get more bang for your buck than getting this card. It doesn't do well at all the games at 4K ...for my purpose I rather get the 1070 and just use it for 1080 resolution VR... It will be awhile before we get 4k VR displays although that would be awesome. Some of the APIs are talking about using one video card for each eye; therefore, in theory you get two 970 and run it up hi-rez. But they probably want us to upgrade.

1070 is what I plan on buying, hopefully before the end of the year.

 

same, my 680 is slowly losing its edge and i want to run AC in 4k

 

I purchased a 1080 this morning from Nvidia. It shipped this afternoon and will be delivered on June 2. I will put it in my rig run the AC benchmark on my rig and compare it with my current card which is a 970 OC. I will share the results here. I run a single 4K monitor at 60 fps with low medium quality settings. I have a i7 4820 @ 4.5 MHz(OC) so have decent CPU headroom to see what the 1080 can do.

 

Over clocking the 1080 would be a good start and the guy at hardware canucks got the core to 2000 MhZ... With a faster architecture that smokes big maxwell in two ways. First, in sheer performance (the minimum fps in some games equaled the average fps for a reference 980 ti). Second, you have to remember drivers are not even optimized for this card. Think about the performance increase on the 970 from early drivers to now... Also, VR options are better for this card and I am not sure it can be brought into maxwell. If it could, I probably will keep my 980 ti for another year. Otherwise I will get a 1080. It already runs 4K better than a Titan X so it is an upgrade. And my needs are 1440p maxed out AAA titles at over 60 fps (which the 980 ti does splendidly) and VR with a high level of AA to reduce edges and increase immersion. Preferably I would like to use DSR with VR and that is where the new algorithms for the 1070/80 come in handy since you would only need to render a single 4K image and warp it to the screen instead of two. Pretty neat.

Expensive year this one... If I can ditch my 980ti for 400 pounds I am looking at 100~200 for the gfx plus 500 for the rift. But it has to be done... XD

Only problem with that is that a 1070 will either outperform, or at least give close to the performance of the 980Ti, and do it for well under 300 pounds.

 

I know... This new gen wrecked **** up. And not like the 970 to the 780 ti which came from the fact that nVidia dropped support. This new gen packs more of a punch than Connor McGregor!
I guess I can always hold to my poor 980 ti for a while more I guess...

That's a very sound advise, esp for 980 users.

 

Bought one last night after a fight with the wife about money...My hobby, my money

 

That graph surprises me. After all the hype, I was expecting the GTX 1080 to be significantly more powerful than a 980Ti. The difference exhibited on that graph is negligible.

 

It is around 30% faster than 980Ti on average:

Actually you are completly wrong.
NV just gains this speed due the producer firm TSMC. We jumped over 20nm FinFet process. We took now 16!nm Finfet, which already alone gives this performance boost and lower power consumption.
If you clock the 1080 on the same speed like 980(ti) you can see the pure architecture performance gain. Its really low, only in VR we see big gains due new hardware implemented.

Surely 1080 can gain via drivers, but its more likely that the gtx900 series get worse support like happend with GTX700 series

10x0 has a new (hardware) scheduler added (that ATI had for quite a few years already) that will allow to gain performance with asynchronous rendering when using DX12 and etc. From what I have seen it can gain ~20% performance just because of this. 9x0 and older series shows performance decrease while with async.

 

Actually, it is not that low. Remember a 980 ti has a lot more cuda cores and mature drivers matter a lot. Look at 970 benchmarks in the beginning and now. You have some 20% performance delta which is a lot. And part of the advantage of finfet is the insane clock speeds achievable. 2K MHz is just insane. And that is stock cooler. Imagine what custom boards like Galax, gigabyte and Asus will be able to do...

It seems thermal throttling is an issue unless you bump up the fan with this card. The EVGA non founders edition 1080 doesn't exhibit this.
But this is nothing new when over clocking.

Of course if you OC, you have to put up with higher fan noise. Good news is that the noise is lower on this cooler than on the previous ones (Jay said that at 80% this new cooler is quieter than the previous one at 50%) and is more efficient thanks to a vapor chamber. But yeah, I am going to wait for custom board partners to do their magic and see the results. I am thinking on reducing to a small form factor since I need the space which means a blower fan might actually be good. We will see.
