The GTX 1080 thread

Ohh!! Pascal has Async Compute!! :banana:

Btw nobody seems to be worried by the fact that they moved the 680/780/980 price point +$100 up.

 

Well they did invest BILLIONS in developing it. uke2: They're trying to squeeze as much as they can before amd comes with something competition worthy. Then they reduce the price and are seen as martyrs. Not.

 

Most likely a SC version from evga will feature one 8 pin and one 6 pin. I would expect the superclocked versions to go up over 1800 mhz and boost over 2000 mhz. We can see the potential thanks to nvidia's demo that the card can achieve 2100 mhz and likely higher. I will be looking to run the 1080 i get at hopefully 2200 mhz :nerd:

 

It has just more efficient based on its wattage, with extra unified memory, not just virtual like Maxwell.. Other then that I doubt its any different then on Maxwell.


Maxwell slide, notice async?


Anyway, NV did claim they will enable it soon, Im expecting Maxwell async with Pascal ready r367 driver

 

i wont be buying the 1080 card, Nvidia will have my money when they release the 1080Ti with HBM2.

 

My guess is around 30% faster in standard gaming. The overclocking potential of the 1080 will be the ultimate deciding factor for anyone with a 980 Ti I suppose.

 

"1080 Owners" Thread. LOL! Bit premature, isn't it?

Buying a 1080 "Founders Edition" is interesting. Personally, I'll have to see the benchmarks, async compute, and then maybe have to wait and see what AMD offers. But I will need to do something in the not to distant future, to better feed my 4k screen.

 

gimped again? i hope they won't forget Maxwell yet. they can start ignore us when HBM 2 release.

 

exactly what i thought when i saw this thread.

1080 Ti and beyond for best 4k gaming i think.

 

I'm just waiting on how they perform in specific CUDA renderers if its really 2x faster than Titan X or 980Ti,if yes then I'm would upgrade without the question

Just CUDA Core count is bit on low side,I'm looking forward for some tests in Octane Render and IRAY and from this I would go,in past there has been few issues with Octane when GTX9xx series have poor performance compared to 7xx series and then Otoy updated engine for those cards,due this I'm not just jumping ship

Thanks,Jura

 

**** Geforce 1090!!!

you mfer hahahahaha good one

 

They saw a 1080 run @ 2100 Mhz core clock at only 67 deg C. They think it was the founders edition, but it's only speculation right now, since they don't know what card it was.

 

lol couldnt resist. Honestly i think it would be better if they made a 1090 instead of a titan this time. 1090 > 1080 Ti > 1080

 

agreed that would sound just fine by me

 

Because it doesn't people are so obtuse and the scenarios where that .5 GB of slower ram made a difference were not to the point of mattering.

 

Someone already has it in his sig .

 

Feel really sorry for the poor saps that bought the Titan X, 970 and 980.

You should know by now to only get the TI
