I know it's not strictly related, but word of caution. Make sure the 4K TV you have your eyes set on actually can do 4K at, or above, 60Hz. It's full HDMI 2.0 compliant and all that. I've seen some TVs that sponsor HDMI 2.0, but not full bandwidth.

Cheers!
 
most new games have 4k resolution and many older but still popular ones are getting texture upgrades as well. will a 1080ti handle it?? remains to be seen. but the titan x was pretty good at 4k and this should be very similar so i'd expect decent 4k ability from it. at that resolution, you'll always be dropping settings as time goes but that's the nature of the game when you try to be on the tip of the performance envelope.
 
No 4k in the house yet, but I'll get a decent 4k 60hz monitor too. Sounds like 4k 144hz are coming, but who knows when and it doesn't sound like cards can push them yet anyway.
 
thanks for the link. was hoping for something we had not seen yet but it's a good summary of the teasers we've seen so far. got 2 days to release so i'm hoping more models will have product pages soon. was a day ro 2 out for most of the other cards to see such info released.

of course they continue to release and add models non-stop for weeks after release day. but should be a good 20 models or so available from custom makers that are not avga and msi on the 10th. and then another 30+ models from msi and evga combined. those 2 go stupid with so many models and more coming every day........
 
i like the strange look of the MSI Armor. that bug eyed kind of look does it for me.

i do like the EVGA cards for the understated classy look. also love the Gigabyte Xtreme design. all different but each stands out to me. the colorful x4 cards with the odd extra little fan sitting on top of the card spark my interest as well. can't think of why it's there but it does look neat.
 
Concerning today GTX 1080 Ti review: why Titan X (Pascal) performance is worse here than it was in it's own review? Other videocards' performance also differ.
 

Today's Tom's Hardware review of GTX 1080 Ti. It seems to be due to higher settings - e.g.: In an effort to make our Rise of the Tomb Raider more demanding than in past reviews, we enabled 2x SSAA (rather than SMAA, a post-processing effect that has been shown to leave many surfaces aliased).
 


Clock speeds like that aren't unheard of. I'm not surprised one bit that the 1080 Ti can reach that clock rate.

With the good aftermarket cards, the 1080 is mostly capable of hitting 2100mhz. I can hit almost 2200mhz on my 1060 (though my card sorta cheats since it has only half the cores the 1080 does).
 
I wouldn't call that a 500 or 600Mhz overclock. Would have to know what the maximum boost it was reaching before overclocking.

I've set my 1080 reference board to run at 2100Mhz up from its stock boost of 2012Mhz, under stock cooling (ACX 3.0) it would eventually settle around 1900Mhz. So not a massive gain, but it seems to be 100% stable, whereas I got the very occasional crash at 2121 or 2142Mhz. And with water cooling it never strays from the max boost.
