NVIDIA's GTX 1080 GPU is faster than Titan X

[asian_XL]

even the 1070 will be faster than Titan X....time to save money!!!!

NVIDIA's GTX 1080 GPU is faster than Titan X, lands May 27

[Razor Ramon HG]

The GTX 1060 and 1070 will be the interesting ones to look for.

[Vansterdam]

that thing is sick!! wonder how much it will retail here for

[asian_XL]

I wish it will support latest games @ 4K

You need the new PS4 for that

[twitchyzero]

it's not so much that it outperforms last generation's flagship by a healthy margin that makes it so impressive, mind you this used to happen every year or so

it's that the reference design clocks 2.1GHz on air and still maintain 67 degrees with only 1 power connector.

the implication it has on the unlocked big dies next year is huge...I can't remember the last time all of these happened at once:

1.5x die shrink (28nm to 16nm FF)
new memory standard (HBM/GDDR5X now and HBM2 next year)
new API (DX12)
?? newish resolution (4K) playable on a single enthusiast-level card?? needs benchmarks to confirm

profit records again will probably be broken again and then some.

I foresee many will upgrade this time around. If you like 'futureproofing' your hardware...you're in for a treat.

[Peturbo]

sounds like a good time to upgrade.

[DragonChi]

Sounds like this time it's a architecture change which usually means big gains. The next iterations after this will probably mean just cramming more transistors into the architecture to make it faster. Good time to buy this year

[Mr.Money]

the real question is....What is AMD gonna fire back with in return?,they always try and never want to be left in the dust.

I was being sarcastic anyway; the new "4K PS4" is a turd that just upscales games to 4K from 1080p. In this case it's marketing

[DragonChi]

This generation sits in an awkward spot, IMO. I see this as being a Max 1440p card, and a medium setting 4k card. But who knows, maybe graphics requirements at 1080p might ramp up with newer games.

I'd wait for reviews of the hardware first before placing an order. Manufacturers always cherry pick their best numbers to throw out during these types of conferences.

I'm currently on a GTX 970 and I get pretty much max 1080p settings on most games right now. I'd imagine the same goes for people with the AMD equivalent

[swiftshift]

NVIDIA just keeps doing it..

[bobola]

Great news.
Possibly mean that the lower end cards, 1050 or 1060 will able to to max games out at 1080p with high fps at a very low cost.

[asian_XL]

I wonder how 21:9 (1440p) monitors will work with the new 1070 cards...I guess it will need to run at 2560 x 1080p to get smooth graphic

this is kinda neat

Hang on, no more $1000 flag ship video cards from Nvidia?

[StylinRed]

eh, people were saying the 1060? (whatever the base one is) should be like 4X faster than the titan, but that nvidia was sure to throttle everything since they've cornered the market

this was based purely on the supposed numbers the new chips were capable of

i want moaaar pppooooowwweeerrr

[wreck]

next build will be skylake-e with a big die pascal.. hopefully they are both out by early-mid 2017

[mos_skeeto]

graphic card sales in the next few months will be great

By the time it hits Canadian soil it will be over $1000. You don't think that there will be SUPERCLOCKED editions going around for $1200 bucks?

Sigh still using a GTX 770. Want to upgrade but then the PC is pretty old maybe I should upgrade to while PC but it will cost a lot......

[twitchyzero]

for the geeks

Finally Thoughts

NVIDIA has excited the PC gaming world with the release of Pascal and the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. It hits some critical points in the process of doing so. It’s the fastest GPU in the world. It’s the most power efficient GPU in the world. It could be among the best values in a high graphics card in years. It leaves me craving both the inevitable “big Pascal” card as well as the lower cost 1070/1060/1050 options coming later in the year. If you are PC gamer, regardless of your current GPU commitments, you WANT to see launches like this, ones that push the envelope and make competitors work harder to keep up. NVIDIA’s GP104 launch does exactly this.

It’s not a perfect release – the added $100 to what was once the reference design, but is not renamed the Founders Edition, will leave a sour taste in many gamers’ mouths. Does NVIDIA deserve to be able to charge $100 more for the early adopters? Sure, capitalism states that they should sell it for whatever people will buy it for. We had this same argument about G-Sync monitors and the market upheld NVIDIA’s higher prices. I think the same will happen here with the GTX 1080. You may not like it, and I’m not a big fan, but it clearly is what NVIDIA thinks is best for them in the long term.

Same boat, GTX770/1090t
