Gtx 1080

[FunFordCobra]

The benchmarks are out and it seems like its not exactly what they said. The claimed x2 performance over the titan X, but in reality that was in VR only. Also it has less cuda cores if you care about those thingies. 9 Tera flops though and overclock to around 1850mhz a reference card.

From what I've seen, its an average of about 10 fps higher than a 980Ti @ 4k.
Hopefully this will change with dx12 but people have been saying that forever now and the ashes of singularity dx12 benchmark wasn't what everyone expected of Maxwell architecture.

I will be really interested in what the new Titan10 can do but from these stats, SLI 980Ti will still be faster than any single card out there.

Also nivida is doing away with drivers any system using more than 2 cards. So Tri and Quad SLI systems are bye bye.

You can say that the cards will do better as the drivers mature, but I'm skeptical. What you get performance wise out of the gate is basically what you're at. You may gain 3%-5% through the next card release, from my experience.

I think we are another 3+ years away from a truly enjoyable single 4k card. They will also have Display Port 1.3 mainstreamed by then to allow the bandwidth.

When is AMD doing their big Polaris reveal?

Did you ever move?

I don't know, but I'm not buying a second diesel powered generator and dedicated water cooling rig with a swimming pool for a reservoir just to run it.

They claim the performance per watt will be better than any other card. My Asus 390x runs hot AF, but thats mostly Asus's fault.

Right after I posted I went to wccftech.com. My card will completely irrelevant because a lower end card has higher performance, lower power consumption, and cheaper. This chart is promising.

The AMD reveal will most likely be next Tuesday.

Based off that chart, I will continue to ignore AMD cards.

Makes my 970 look weak

I'm right there with you, bro

Not like I ever actually get to use it anymore, anyway.

It's plenty of GPU for rocket league. I find myself playing that more than anything else here lately.

[CexMashean]

I find myself playing games that are running the unreal engine, or something else that isn't sli enabled, making me regret having two gtx980. . . . that is, until I fire up Battlefield 4 and enjoy it in all of it's 3440x1440 Ultra glory.

Fucking Fractured Space and Battleborn though. No sli supporting pieces of shit.

No need for display port 1.3, USB 3.1 will be the next big thing for video transfer.

I believe the cards in the chart are sub $250 dollar cards. Those are the rumors anyways.

Fanboy rumors from what I've read.

You're not going to get near gtx1080 performance for $250. It's not happening.

The AMD score just below the 1080 is their higher end card in a crossfire(CF) configuration. So if they are in the $250-$300 range each that is $500-$600 to still be under the 1080. Seems reasonable.
