Get hyped.


I do wish they used HBM2 instead of GDDR5X...But I can deal.

*CLiB is officially hyped

25% faster than 980ti

[Elth]

Loved the crowd reaction in the live stream:

"I CAN AFFORD THAT"

but seriously with this being released in May I'm super tempted to upgrade from a 2500k/single 980 to Skylake (no Skylake-E until next year) and one of these bad boys.

I think I went through puberty for a second time when I saw the demos/specs

Eventually they will run out of numbers to use.
They should roll back and make the GTX 420

I had a feeling I would regret buying a Nano a month ago. I was correct. 

Edit: I could, however, just sell my Nano and use my GTX970 until I can buy the 1080.

I'm not sure you can compare them , since nano is meant for a microatx build.

While it is small form factor, it is very powerful, and I haven't had any thermal throttling at all. It's a very underrated card imo.

Nah. Matx is so spacious. Honestly it should be the go to form factor for single card systems.
Mini ITX is where nano cards should be used.

the specs gave him a boner, as if it was the first time.

I want to buy one.. but I'm waiting to get a titan right now for solidworks..

[kiwi99]

with these numbers I am more excited for the gtx 1070 if it matches up the same way the 970 did to the 980 in price and performance.

[tp4tissue]

1080ti is gonna be like 15% ontop of 1080

So.. on water,  1080 could prolly do it..  so the whole thing is probably near 30%

[SBJ]

I'll be selling my 980Ti when I can find a decent 1080 with a backplate. I loves me some backplate.
Oh and after I read/see some reviews.

That would be reason enough for me to upgrade, especially if I can get a good price for the Ti.

[noisyturtle]

At those prices just imagine how cheap it will be once the price drops!

Once the 1080Ti hits the 1080 is bound to drop a little in price, it usually does any way.
I just don't know if I should wait for the 1080ti or if the 1080 is enough for my needs.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Those specs! I'm tempted to upgrade my sli 780Ti

[dgneo]

So happy I didn't splurge on a 980.

[tp4tissue]

I really wish a Game for older guys like me would come out..

Then I could buy this card..

[dannrawr]

should i sell my 980ti or

Only if resale is good where you are..

GTX OVER 9000!!

hmm maybe loss around 50 usd lol

[ThoughtArtist]

Yeah, 970 was minimum I could tolerate in my new build and I wanted a slight bit more ooomph, but I figured since I was doing 1200/1080p and 60hz, then I should wait for something more than the 980/980ti, to make it worthwhile to go with a better monitor setup. I can just adjust settings down since most stuff is console port quality anyway. I kinda just want to jump straight into 4K and skip 1440p entirely so I'm thinking this next gen is still not enough for me. Still, I'm happy that it's a decent jump.

I don't see much point in myself getting crazy for 4K or high HZ yet since I don't have a great deal of xtra income (I'm not spending $$$ doing SLI or buying prototype quality $700 monitors with crazy light bleed).

Solitaire in VR must be experienced powered with a GTX 1080. I highly recommend it for an older gentleman

[NewbieOneKenobi]

This is off-topic, I guess, but with the release of 1080, is it reasonable to expect the price of 960 to drop some time soon?

[tp4tissue]

Yes, but you shouldn't get a 960.. or a 950, unless you just want h265 decoding.

They're too weak as a modern card.

[effectiveduck]

I do wish they used HBM2 instead of GDDR5X...But I can deal.

They need something to make the 1180 worth buying over this

[katushkin]

Dat price tho...

I'm going to have to get a new PC next year if that price point is what I can expect from cards with those numbers.

[Brammm87]

I was planning a new build anyway, but this news made me postpone for a while until it's released. Very hyped.

[Findecanor]

While it is small form factor, it is very powerful, and I haven't had any thermal throttling at all. It's a very underrated card imo.

I have been very interested in getting a R9 Nano for a mITX build but I heard that it would have problems with coil whine.

[nugglets]

I'll be selling my 980Ti when I can find a decent 1080 with a backplate. I loves me some backplate.

Supposed to come with a removable backplate stock, which is pretty excellent.

[Findecanor]

But NVidia has flipped around what is "stock". There is no "lowest common denominator" reference design for the GTX1080. It is the more expensive Founder's Edition that has the new reference cooler and backplate.

The low MSRP they quote is what they expect how cheap a manufacturer's card could be.

[tp4tissue]

Very impressive If true..

[tp4tissue]

Oooooooo..



This is also super important..   high bitrate 4K (HEVC)H265 decoding is IMPOSSIBLE on CPU..   maybe on an octocore.. but it's not a practical solution...

[Findecanor]

Reviewers are allowed by their early-access deals with Nvidia to post benchmarks on the 17th. On that day I expect the floodgates to open and overwhelm us with benchmarks.

Awesome that looks sweet.
I don't mind getting in on it early, but I do need to find someone willing to pay a decent price for my Ti before I start comitting to a new card.

Welp, that kills a lot of the hype for the FW900 faithful and other CRT enthusiasts already. Gone are the days of graphics cards having built-in RAMDACs.

Time to save up for one of those 2560x1440 144+ Hz G-SYNC panels by the time I get my next graphics card. (Already on a GTX 980, gonna skip Pascal and start looking at Volta.)

Lots of salt in the tech powerup comments on that article lol

[Air tree]

NDA has been lifted today, expect benchmarks and reviews. 

[iLLucionist]

I've been masturbating to the specs of the new GTX 1080 for days now. This feels as big as a leap as Voodoo 3dfx was back in the day.

[pwade3]

Jesus, these benchmarks are really making me want to take the plunge and do a new build.

Still on my 5 year old build with SLI'd 560 Tis... 


Might have to finally jump to 4k while I'm at it, thanks for making me want it tp4!

[xtrafrood]

Damn that is a nice price for that card

GONNA BUY 2. One for my build. One just to look at

Wouldn't you think it would probably come in at a price point similar to the current Titan cards?

I don't think you need to consider the price..

is $1000 spent on a graphics card really that different from $700

You think it will be that much more powerful? Time to start saving up already..
