    Yep pretty much. Afaik any card will boost to some 2k GHz and the rest is design elements and acoustics.

    yah sold out in a little over an hour... got 2 myself to replace the 980Ti SLI setup I sold last month.

    Can't wait to crank up the details again... this 960 isn't doing to bad but it's just not the same playing on Medium/High settings.


    The standard ACX 3.0 & SuperClocked ACX3.0 are still available to order though! :banana:

    I nabbed the standard ACX 3.0 myself, I don't wish to overvolt or do any crazy OC so the FTW is not worth the extra for me and I can do my own modest OC and save the $20 from the Superclocked version. :nerd:

    I was going to wait and grab the first good looking AIB from Newegg to save on tax, but with Amazon Prime Store 5% cash back and a $20 gift card for applying for it I actually came out cheaper tax and all. Worth checking out if you already have Prime. :$:

    If interested in how well Pascal benches, pay attention to the Benchmark section on Overclock.net. The GTX 1080 already leads in some of the benchmarks. At this point they are still FE versions but apparently if you have the skill you can accomplish quite a bit.

    http://www.overclock.net/f/21/benchmarking-software-and-discussion

    Edit: Keep in mind the cards are ranked regardless of cooling solution, so entries are either under water, LN2 or air. At this point the 1080 score is still on air ....

    It doesn't matter how big the chip is, 1.25v is high for the process node. I'm curious to know more about how this lock is implemented chispy. Nonetheless it doesn't matter for anyone who isn't using LN2 because I suspect you will get negative scaling with that high a voltage with these cards at normal temps

    :puke2:If that's the case with OC that's kinda upsetting, Just pick the one you like the most I guess, But I've seen it OC pretty decent in some of the reviews on the 1080 hopefully we can get that same performance gain on the 1070.

    :cyclone:I'm so tempted to get a 980ti right now since they are selling cheaper, but I see better drivers for 1070/80 in the future.

    Single GPU 1080p, took a while before I found it :)
    Still, the margin is very small between no.1 and 2. That 25% performance increase for the 1080 over 980Ti feel quite far away.

    I'm curious too, I'm not a big overclocker and don't know much past moving some sliders but I do OC my cards :) but if what I'm gathering is correct I may as well save myself £100 and go for the cheapest 1080 rather than splash out on the classy or MSI....?

    As some have pointed out, the 1080Ti or next Titan will likely have even bigger trouble of hitting +2GHz by the looks of it.

    Still, even at just ~2GHz the 1080 is still impressive, but coming from 970/80/80Ti where the OC headroom was so big it is a bit of a disappointment.

    Damn that MSI Gaming card looks sooo sexy with that matte black all over it. I hope the 1070 will have the same looks.

    Well, water helps with temps, so things could get interesting again. Also, I guess they will implement it like Asus does, voltage locking by a special praised 'improved' power delivery... a controller chip.

    Guys 1.25v is really high, none of you of you on air and water will even need to that high s voltage

    I've been using my 1080 for the last few days. Holy hell it's some card. A serious jump from my 780ti.

    Played a few hours of DOOM with settings cranked (AA to the max) on my 1440p ROG Swift and it was silky smooth at ~150fps

    heh yeah it's a killer card :)
    You should think about activating Nvidia's fast sync, I wonder if you see / feel any difference.

    Yes, the more I read, the more it looks like you can basically take any card with a decent 3rd party cooler to make sure you get a quiet system.

    It will be weird to buy a card that cannot be overclocked past factory OC. And even more weird that all companies are making these fancy 10+2 power phase PCBs when it doesn't seem to matter at all.

    Like someone said earlier - coming from 980Ti the OC is just too poor. OCing a 980Ti really boosts your FPS but here, yea a little bit but hardly noticeable.

    Hahaha but come on the only reason 980ti OC was more impressive is because it was clocked low.

    980ti boost on paper was 1075, actual boost 1200.

    1500mhz is 40% and 25%, respectively, increase. With 1080 at 1800mhz stock you'll never get that

    But it is stable besides syntetic benchmarks ? In witcher 3 people report, that 980ti after OC is giving artifacts even on 1500MHz, and not to mention higher OC in order to match 1080GTX stock results, yet alone 1080GTX OC'ed to 2GHz.

    http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=5282559&postcount=1958

    Somehow I doubt you people can OC 980ti to mach 1080GTX 2GHz, and still play games without stability issues. Stock 980ti scores avg. 36fps, 980ti OC 46fps, while stock 1080GTX avg. 54 fps (and after OC 61 fps)

    Question is, do these artifacts appear with each 980Ti, each driver? If so it's the card. If only one or none of the two, it might just be unlucky picking in the silicon lottery (also the vRAM!)
