GTX 1080 specs. :O

[Air tree]

I'm probably going to pick one up in October, maybe EVGA's step up program will get me a GTX 1080 TI 

[Air tree]

Suggested MSRP for Founders edition:
Serbian Dinar RSD 96,900
Czech Koruna CZK 21,400
Danish Krone DKK 6,150
Germany EUR 789
France EUR 789
British Pound GBP 619
Hungarian Forint HUF 259,850
Norwegian Krone NOK 7,599
Polish Zloty PLN 3,599
Romanian New Lei RON 3,499
Russian Rouble RUB 54,990
Indian Rupee INR 63,250
Swedish Krona SEK 7,699
Turkish Lira TRY 2,850
South African Rand ZAR 13,599
Switzerland CHF 790
UAE AED 2,850
USA USD 699



Fuuuu, anyone outside the US is getting shafted with those prices... Even the regular version is going to be insanely priced..

[tp4tissue]

Ok so some numbers I'm seeing..

Stock 1080 is 34.5% faster than Stock 980 Ti


Vanilla 1080 can overclock 11.4%

Overclocked 1080 is 52% faster than the Stock 980 Ti


Current Rumors say that the 1080 chip is capable of ~2400mhz w/ adequate power delivery, which means another 13.5% ontop of the Vanilla-1080..


My guess is they're saving this (locked potential 13.5%) for the Ti-Edition with boosted power delivery..  To milk more money out of the n00bers..


TOTAL,  overclocked on the 1080 Ti w/hybrid cooler,  should be around 70% faster than the (STOCK) 980 Ti


Final,  Overclocked 1080 Ti should be  43% faster than Overclocked 980 Ti

I can't wait for the aftermarket coolers to come out and then we can see how far this card can go on air and on water.

I'm curious how far you can push it with an open loop.

I'm pretty sure 2400 is gonna be-it

Cuz..  I don't really see why they'd hide away more performance than that..

Yeah screw that, that's what I paid for my Ti back in the day.
I'll wait for ASUS or MSI's custom coolers.

Look at all the possibilities WITHOUT SLI. I'm curious if it'll run GTA V 2560x1440 around 60 fps.

[katushkin]

**** OFF

£619 is ****ING NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS. They have got to be ****ing high I'm not paying that much.

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1080/17.html

Looks to be 91.6 FPS at that res.

[katushkin]

Where did you get those MSRPs from anyway?

Note those are the prices for the Founders edition. It'll be a bit less expensive for the regular version, but I'm not sure by how much on the international market, it'll be $100 cheaper in the US.

That's averageeee fps.. which is meaningless..

Minimum FPS probably still dips below 60,   So we still need SLI..

[chefmz23]

Either way I am excited, skipped the 980 and have been waiting for these to upgrade from my 970

[katushkin]

So I could buy a 1080 in America, get it shipped to me, pay HMRC 20% VAT on $699, and it would still be cheaper than the UK RRP.

What a load of bollocks. I'm just going to have to wait for the 1070 third party cards.

Dat price

[Air tree]

I'm holding out for the $599 version, or the aftermarket coolers...

[pwade3]

Didn't realize the EVGA step-up stuff was only for 90 days.

So if it were a month wait to get my hands on a non-founders 1080 (worst case) and then 90 days, that's ~4 months to hope the 1080Ti would release in time to be eligible.

Not sure whether I like those odds or not.

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

I'm not anticipating that any of the manufacturers are going to stick to that $599 price point.

There's no reason for them to charge less for cards with better out-of-the-box clock speeds and/or coolers.

[nugglets]

I'm holding out for the $599 version, or the aftermarket coolers...

There isn't a separate "$599" version coming from nvidia, that's just their suggested retail price for the aftermarket coolers from the AIB partners.

As Computer-Lab in Basement said, I'm not convinced the partners will stick to nvidia's suggestion. Possibly for the base cards with their standard coolers, at the most, but the OC versions with the upgraded coolers like ACX and TwinFrozr will almost certainly not be $599. And then you'll have the Kingpins and other, higher-OC versions retailing above the the Founders Edition most likely.

Still, I think it's best to wait and see at this point. Maybe we will all be surprised and the cards will come in cheaper than expected.

I saw a screenshot of EVGA's website that had their non-reference cards starting at $609 and going up to like $659 with a few levels in between of varying clock speeds and coolers.

I'm really curious to see what the water cooled options are going to look like.

I'm actually surprised, EVGA is sticking close to that price point for their stock card with HFS at $609, I placed a preorder for the SC ACX 3.0 at $650, and the FTW is at $680. If you can get through to EVGA's site, that is, it's been ****ed all day since this morning.

Oh wow, nice. I hadn't checked the prices on pre-orders today, since I really can't afford to upgrade right now.

That's pretty awesome, though.

[Brammm87]

I was looking at buying a new build, but will probably wait until after Computex next weekend to see if anything cool is announced there (and that will be released within two months). Not waiting any longer than that...

I'm willing to pay more if the better cools manage to keep the card near-silent in idle / easy processing.

I'm pretty much in the same boat.

Don't forget that sweet OC potential.

Good point. But I'm a coward and I am always afraid I will brick my GPU when overclocking. Had it twice already with motherboards and memory.

Bricking by GPU overclocking is pretty rare nowadays, because you're not voltage modding, everything is actually predetermined

People expect overclocking, so they built that entire process into the design specification..

Which is stupid, because that only means it's not operating at maximum clock to begin with.




With ram and motherboard,  this situation is different, because they usually allow massive over-volting..  which can kill cpu and ram,   rarely the motherboard itself..

Cool, didn't knew that. I already found overclocking memory hardcore. But basically because I NEVER got XMP profiles to work with DD3 and Asus motherboards. Dunno why... it should've worked but never did so eventually I gave up.

typically, xmp requires more voltage.. for example if it says 1.65v on the memory label,  you want to use something like 1.665 or 1.675

You'd also want to set the main timings manually..

If you're on sandybridge or later,  you need to increase the memory controller voltage..

If you're pre-sandybridge, you need to increase northbridge voltage.

After re-evaluating, I realised I really don't need the premium of a Broadwell-E CPU and the X99 chipset. I built a rig with a 6700K, 32GB RAM and an Intel 950 Pro. I ordered an Asus Strix 1080, hopefully I get it soon (currently using my old 980).

[Wazazaby]

This graphic card is a beast :O I need to update my 770 for sure

[missalaire]

Waiting for the 1080 ti whenever that comes out.

[SBJ]

The GTX 1080 Gaming X from MSI looks really damn good.
I am in a dilemma though, I don't know whether to get another 980Ti instead, because I'm staying on 1080p for the forseeable future.
And wait for the 2nd generation of the new chip instead.

Anybody wanna weigh in on this?

[cmadrid]

If you are staying on 1080p just stick with the 980ti you already have.. why get a 2nd one even?

[slip84]

Anyone want to get rid of their crappy 980 or 980 ti? I'll even pay shipping.

That said, I would love to go to a 1070 and rebuild my desktop.

[SBJ]

If you are staying on 1080p just stick with the 980ti you already have.. why get a 2nd one even?

Partly for the SLI performance. Partly because 2 cards look cool. lol. I don't have a good reason for a 2nd Ti.

[Marshal]

This card looks fantastic... can't wait for the 980's to drop in price since that's all I'll be able to afford D;

[smokemm]

Hopefully the 1080s drop in price towards the end of the year - October or November. Maybe by then video card scalpers will move on and stores will actually have them in stock....

[Brammm87]

Just got my Gigabyte gtx 1080 g1. Need to put it through it's paces, but so far it's performing pretty awesome. gta 5 looks amazing with all the bells and whistles on.

[slip84]

This card looks fantastic... can't wait for the 980's to drop in price since that's all I'll be able to afford D;

That's what I did. When the 980 came out, I bought a second-hand 780 for $180 shipped to me.

[Findecanor]

First mITX - sized Pascal card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC

[TacticalCoder]

Not paying VAT here so, woot, 21% to remove from the Germany/France MSRP price!

I don't plan on buying one (not into gaming at all) but a friend asked me: would this work on an "old" (2013) ASUStek mobo P8Z77Z mobo? The card has the following slots :

2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
2 x PCI

The CPU is a 3rd gen Ivy Bridge i7 3770K.

Can he just buy a GTX 1080 and plug it in his four-years old PC?

[Findecanor]

Why wouldn't it work? That is a PCIe 3.0 ×16 slot.
You would need to run Windows 10 to get DirectX 12 though.

Each new generation of Intel's CPUs have had a smaller and smaller improvement over the next. From what I have heard, an Ivy Bridge i7 is still considered a fast CPU.

He's still running Windows 7, thanks a lot for the tip about Windows 10 / DirectX 12.

[katushkin]

So the new Zotac 1080 Extreme editions are at a pre order price of only $1044.

And the Gigabyte extreme 1080s are only $1100.

****ing hate NVidia and their market dominance. Places can charge whatever the **** they want for cards now and they know people will pay for it because AMD can't do ****.

[cmadrid]

Too bad the pound went down so hard ;(

[katushkin]

It's not even because of that. It's because people are ****ing *******s. Even in the week between the pound recovering and falling again, the price of the inno3d version of the 1080 went up 50GBP.

Yeah it doesn't help now, but I've never seen anything like this before.

[cmadrid]

Everyone needs AMD to get their **** together

[tp4tissue]

RX480 seems to be all good so far..

Even unlockable from 4gb version to 8gb..

That's pretty beast...

[cmadrid]

Yeah but it isn't in the same leagues as the 1070 let alone the 1080.. AMD needs to come out with their high end stuff
