Nvidia GeForce GTX 1000 Series (Pascal) MegaThread: FAQ and Resources

[jerdle]

HBM2 isn't produced in sufficient quantities to put it on consumer cards yet. That'll be their next titan.

can anybody explain what the founder edition includes??

they are prob higher bined cards so they will oc more and be more efficiant

All he said was that they overclock like crazy. I'm wondering, for $700, if they're finally offering more of a custom design with upgraded components and a new cooler.

probably liquid cooled too? is the 1070 really gonna be armed with old GDDR5? google's not showing any freakin results yet.

the quick video had the blow-up and showed a vacuum chamber and such so that almost has ot be the founders edition for the crazy 2 ghz oc speeds. the leaked 3d mark showed a 1.8 ghz speed which is more likely for the reg edition. and normal air cooling seems good enough considering it only 180w card (or probably less)

that's what the video said. GDDR5 for the 1070

it's late here so i'm gonna wait until the morning to update the op with the new info. give it some time to digest and see if nvidia drops any info on the 1070 like the official 1080 page has on it.

Wonder when the first reviews come out? I know that HardOCP and Guru3d said they were at the event, so they are no where near their test benches for at least a day or two, even if they do have cards in hand.

Yes. GDDR5 for the 1070. It will still be faster than a 980 Ti.

 

[opio]

Did they say what the bus width is? Is it 256 bit?

 

[Math Geek]

from the 1080 spec page:

Memory Specs:
10 Gbps Memory Speed
8 GB GDDR5X Standard Memory Config
256-bit Memory Interface Width
320 Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)

1080 2x faster than Titan X and 1070 faster than Titan X holy COW! I think I might upgrade from my 980. Who knows what Titan Pascal or 1080ti could bring

 

[Math Geek]

def got to sit back and see what else shows from the series. a couple months should be worth the wait to see what else is released. still itching for a 75w card that beats out the 970. sure looks possible now......

HBM2 among other things

 

[Math Geek]

so if the new titan is a cut down p100 and has hbm2 as it is expected to have, what kind of performance can we expect there??!!! we'd have to be talking 6x or more performance than a titan x. it's silly the power it could have based on what we saw tonight

The overclocking is pretty intriguing, since that's the real variable from card to card and GPU to GPU. And now we're talking about 2000 MHz cards, so a measly 10% OC is 200 MHz.
MSI GTX 1080 Lightning sounds pretty cool right now.

 

[Math Geek]

or a kingpin edition at 3+ ghz or some crazy thing like that.

 

[TechyInAZ]

or a kingpin edition at 3+ ghz or some crazy thing like that.

Meh, even though 2ghz is amazing, 3ghz still seems far fetched. I'd guess 500mhz+ but not an extra 1000mhz.

Yeah, that was some good hype in that presentation, but let's be real.

 

[Math Geek]

😀 easy to get carried away with the hype. but i'll be very happy with a 1070 in a few months when i do my new build as it will be a lot more than i need anyway and should be a good price for what it should be able to do.
that or a 1060 model for a bit less will hopefully show up in the next couples months as well.

As always, I'll be holding out for the full GP100 "Ti" version. Let them work out the bugs first, then put the real smack down.

And just days after the $1500 Radeon Pro Duo release. For the love of pete, please tell me no one bought one of those.

 

[ShertheLove]

Does anybody have any experience with the EVGA step-up program? I have till about June 20th to use it. I'm curious when I'll be able to put my name in the queue for a new card. Is it usually before or after the release date? Thanks.

I'd really like to get in the queue early and not have to refresh the step-up page every hour for the next month.

so the founders edition are the cards with the stock angular coolers.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

AMD's R9 390, 390X, Fury Nano, Fury, and Fury X are going to have trash value once these hit the market.

yup. those will be my next card. lets see what i can get for sub 200 😛

 

[renz496]

So how fast 1060 will be? 980 level of performance?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

If the 1070 is claiming to beat the Titan X. I'd expect the 1060 to come in at about GTX 970 performance IMO not GTX 980 performance.
