SHOULD be, however all i've been hearing about the benchmarks is they were for vr, I'd rather just buy a second 980ti than try to go full black friday and try to get a card day one. I've learned my lesson doing that in the past with both amd and nvidia.
 
I'd be willing to say it WILL BE $379 or less as that's what nvidia's MSRP is, and WILL perform at the same performance or better than a 980 ti

When have you ever seen an x70 perform worse than the last generation x80 or x80 ti? The answer is never. The x70 has always been equal to or better than the last gen x80 or x80 ti
 
Anyone seen this over at videocardz ? i do like 3dmark as a benchmarking tool its very consistent.

Here's my old 980 Ti score with 1.3ghz core - the 1080 core @ 2.1ghz had a 61% faster core clock resulting in a 76 % performance increase so essentially clock for clock Pascal is 15% faster than Maxwell based on 3dmark benchmarks however overall 76% faster as previously mentioned. GDDR5X & architecture = 15%? also this assumes that 2.1ghz is the core and not the gpu boost 3.0 figure and the 3dmark figures are not made up crap.

Yep, looks like at stock clocks the 1080 is about 30% faster than a 980 Ti. The 1080 seems to easily hit 2Ghz+ even with reference ( sorry "Founders Edition" 😛 ) cooling making them about 50%-60% faster than a stock Titan X. Not too bad from the GTX 980 replacement. Can't wait to see what the factory overclocked cards look like. VR performance improvements will be even higher over the 9xx series.

Now lets hope those rumors about Polaris failing validation aren't true and AMD has something competitive so the prices go down.
 
Well if this is true even those 2.1Ghz benchmarks are slow. Apparently the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX 1080 will hit 2.4Ghz and there will be watercooled flavors of this card clocked at 2.5Ghz+.

When i think it back.....2ghz plus overclock that was insane. Seeing the clock for tesla P100 i was expecting 1080 to be clock around 1.5ghz at stock with boost up to 1.6ghz. Oced might pushed it to 1.7ghz range. Back then i was joking 1.8ghz might be possible with partner solution. And now.....heck even 2ghz are possible on reference 1080.

Also seeing how oced GP104 can exceed GP100 SP performance it might be very possible that 980ti successor will be the rumored GP102 instead of GP100.
 
Wow, overclocking a GTX 1080 yields way more performance boost than I was expecting!! Really excited to see what the Classified and windforce cards will be able to achieve.

So what do you think the world record will be? If a K|NGP|N GTX 980 can hit 2ghz on nitrogen, I'm guessing 3ghz with this gtx 1080 on nitrogen. :)
 
think there might be a bit of a lull in news until the 17th but keeping my eyes open :)

i am noticing a lot of crazy assumptions/speculations made in other "should i sell my ___ and get the new _____?" threads that keep popping up in the forum. folks keep saying all kinds of nonsense that has nothing to back it up with. i point them here to see if they wish to say it here with people who are actually reading and understanding the news. but they seem to be avoiding this thread and would rather spout their nonsense in those other threads... i keep seeing people saying the 1070 is going to be double the fps of 970 (couple people spouting this over and over) and that the 1060 is going to be double the 960 but only be 75w.

that's a lot of random snippets of rumor all combined into a single batch of wishful thinking. :)
 


It could get even more fun next week. 😀

i think the 1070 with offer 2 x 970 performance too though lol

tbh mate the first post in this thread is offputtting to read , dense paragraphs and no visuals maybe thays why they are put off ?
 
it will thin out as time goes by. can't think of a way to include all the information and not have the op be 3 pages long. once info is solid and known, there will be less of a reason to have so much there. i expect to do a quick summary and do away with a lot of the links that are there now. not set in stone but i expect something like the op here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2402171/nvidia-gtx-900-series-megathread-links-faq.html when all the hype settles down. and then the follow-up posts for links to each specific card and reviews for them can go there to keep them sort of separate.

would you prefer that i post the pictures directly from the various sites? i'm still trying to figure out the right balance of info vs links and keep it manageable. a lot of the charts and such get posted in the discussion and talked about as they show up. kind of figured this was good enough for now so long as it got linked to in the op.

i'm all ears for new ideas. the thread is for us to have a single place to go for all the GTX 1000 series info we could ever want. so of course i am willing to tailor it to all of us users who will benefit from it being here. i may be keeping it updated but it should be a community resource we can all find useful. 😀

considering we should have some numbers for the cards soon i am trying to figure out how to present it. i am thinking something like maybe:

ASUS Founder Edition (or whatever other versions they release as a link to the ASUS page for it), clock speeds, tdp (stock and highest observed since it varies by model) and power connection requirements. then a few links to a handful or reviews/benchmarks for the card.

each brand would get a heading with it's models under it in this type of format. not sure if there is any other info that someone researching a card would want handy at a quick glance but these seem to be the most important to me. still want it to be neat and tidy so it's easy to understand overall. i don't think there would be room to start trying to include fps for a bunch of games or anything like that. the review links would have that covered and can be read there. would get way out of hand trying to summarize every game and configuration for every model right there in the post.
 


i'm reading a lot of that as well and am intrigued. the mobile specs that have leaked are pretty freakin awesome for laptops. if the desktop cards are even close to what has leaked for the prices they are saying, it will be very interesting very soon. can't wait all the cards from both sides to be in the wild so we can see the resulting shootouts :)
 
While I would love to get my hands on one of these new cards I think they are going to be out of my price range. My hope is that I can pick up a cheap GTX 970 or R9 390 2nd hand when people trade them in for a new one.
 
clearly an option but i'm waiting to see what else shows up. it's possible from what everything is looking like that the 1060 will be around that performance range and likely priced pretty well. no idea what used 970/390 will go for but might have to be really cheap to not cost as much as a new comparably performing card. still so many wildcards we don't know about to be making any rational choices to me :)

be Nov before i'm making any decisions as we'll have new amd cards as well plus more models to look at from nvidia.
 


i'd love to see some links to anything that you feel proves this little bit of speculation. i'll try to be convinced by right now i'm not sure you can as i have not seen anything that convinces me that either the 980 ti is 2x the 970 performance, nor that the 1070 is going to match 980 ti in performance. 2 things you have stated to reach your conclusion. 😀



amen to that. 2 new builds coming my way around that time and i plan on taking advantage of whatever sales i can find at that time.
 
If I was in the market for a 970 (not 1070) do you think the price will be going down anytime in the near future? or when do you think we could expect some price capitulation?
