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

[Math Geek]

well i stand corrected

thanks for the info and link.

No problem, it's easy to miss.

Math Geek, actually we do have a 2000 series megathread, it's been merged with the Volta megathread since both are so similar and since Volta didn't exactly have a consumer launch with consumer products:

Thank you!

I had searched for 2000 series threads on TH. Not found what I was looking for though.

I get 404 - Page Not Found, from that link though. I'll search Turing.

EDIT: Got it. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3771988/nvidia-turing-volta-megathread.html

Do you think it'd be easier if i added "2000 series" to the title for searches? I didn't realize people actually looked up the term 2000 series instead of turing as much as now.

 

[Eximo]

Wouldn't hurt, but it seems it isn't all that active either. Says a lot about the non-impact the cards have had. (Or that not enough of the regulars have bought them)

Maybe AMD will help mix it up in the next few months.

 

[Math Geek]

does seem the overall attitude about the 2000 series is pretty meh. of course you can't find them anywhere so that shows someone is buying them, even if it isn't our main users here. i'm never in the market for the top end cards anyway and what you get for what they cost is nothing i'd consider worth it anyway....

 

[U6b36ef]

Yeah I mean, I read the 2000 series stock is old out on pre-order.

@Math Geek, yeah 2000 seires, the price preformance is not so good. 20% to 25% boost in preformance, for 50% cost increase, without Ray Tracing.

I remember saying in this thread that I had bought my 1080 Ti late in the day. Meaning I would get less use than early adopters. Howeever today I was feeling that I was getting my money's worth. Therefor I am happier about the £730 I spent. (I don't really OC either, so it should last forever. I have not OC'd this 108 Ti yet as I have never needed it. I only do tiny minimal OC on the odd occasion I need it. Not big permanent OC.)

£1200 for the next gen. I really can't see the value.

Maybe the reason there are not many posts, is because no-one can find it. I couldn't until you prompted me with the title tags. I barely even know the word Turing anyway. Had it said 2000 series I would probably already have posted in it. Instead we have been posting our thoughts here.

List of available custom GTX 1080 ti cards with specs, prices and reviews where available


Official GTX 1080 Product Page

List of available custom GTX 1080 cards with specs, prices and reviews where available.

A list of 1080 Founder's Edition Reviews.. There are 50 reviews in various languages and another 8 video reviews linked to.

In general the GTX 1080 beats the competition by the following:

at 1440p the 1080 beats the Titan X / 980 ti by about 27% and the 980 by abut 60%. The Fury X gets beaten by 43%, the fury by 50% and the 390x by 73%

at 4k the 1080 the Titan X / 980 ti is beaten by about 33%, and the 980 by 74%. AMD's Fury X loses by 43%, the Fury by 54% and the 390x by79%

1080 SLI benchmarks can be found over at Guru3D. OC3D has done a 1080 SLI review with the MSI Gaming X. Finally, TechSpot ran 1080 SLI review with the Palit GamerRock Premium Edition

In short, 1080 SLI seems to only be worthwhile for 4k gaming and is still very much in need of driver improvements.


Official GTX 1070 Product Page

List of available custom GTX 1070 cards with specs, prices and reviews where available.

A list of 1070 Founder's Edition Reviews. 20+ reviews and some video links

In general the GTX 1070 competes with the competition by the following:

At 1080p the 1070 was 18% slower than a 1080, 5% faster than a Titan X, 11% faster than a 980ti, 40% faster than a 980 and 64% faster than a 970. On the AMD side, it was faster than all by 31% for the Fury X, 40% for the Fury and 46% for the 390x.

At 1440p the 1070 was 20% slower than a 1080, 2% faster than a Titan X, 6% faster than a 980ti, 37% faster than a 980 and 64% faster than a 970!! It beat out all the AMD cards again by 21% for the Fury X, 30% for the Fury and 40% for the 390x

At 4k the 1070 was 20% slower than a 1080, 1% slower than a Titan X, 3% faster than a 980ti, 39% faster than a 980 and 79% better than a 970. for AMD it beat the Fury X by 11%, the Fury by 24% and the 390x by 35%

Guru 3D 1070 SLI review using 2 MSI Gaming X cards. Hexus.net also did a 1070 SLI review using the MSI Gaming x card

It will beat a GTX 1080 easily at most resolutions, however it sees negative scaling in some games at lower resolutions like 1080p.

=========================================================

3/1 update Nvidia announced the 1080ti card yesterday. Here is a write up from Tom's of what they said about it. Reference card is going to run $699. As we know custom cards will be less and more than likely worth waiting for. As always as custom models and reviews show up, I will add them to the ever growing list in the posts below. The first post will change to the 1080 ti models once we begin to see them. Guess we will see reviews of the FE and custom models starting next week if that is when the cards are supposed to be released.

=========================================================

I encourage and ask for any links that would be helpful to add to this post. Reviews, benchmarks, rumors (credible ones), models I may have missed and any other 10 series information you may find.

has anyone ever ran into the issue of a GTX 2070 showing up in your desktop as a 1050TI...? I have a Dell Inspiron 3847 (fairly old) with an i5-4440 on windows 10 pro with Kingston SSD 256GB and WD Blue 1TB with 16GB RAM. At first, I had the 1050TI installed in the PC and later upgraded to 2070 however, both Precision X-1 AND Device Manager BOTH showed that I only had the 2070 installed. It was crazy to see no matter how many different things I tried to get it to change.

 

[Math Geek]

i assume you completely uninstalled the drivers for the 1050ti before installing the new card? using something like DDU first saves a ton of headaches down the road. i also assume you meant "later upgraded to 2070 however, both Precision X-1 AND Device Manager BOTH showed that I only had the <1050ti> installed"

if you've already done that, then one more try will likely solve it. remove the card and boot into safe mode using the IGP, then run DDU, shut down, install the 2070, reboot and install the drivers and so on for it. should remove the old references and leave only the 2070 drivers and references there.

Well for such a sophisticated piece of hardware I had no idea that all of that was even necessary… However, I ran them simultaneously and therefore I needed both the drivers installed and itstill only showed 1050 TI however this time and said X 2
