It works on all cards, but it is a proprietary Nvidia technology*, so it tends to disabled out of fairness.
* Or at least it was until literally a month or two ago when the source code was released.

Math, logic and pretty much everything we know right now from various sources. What do you think a 25% cut in Cores would do? 980 performance?

So, basically, guessing + we still don't actually know anything. Got it!
Nvidia quoted the 1070 at 6.5tflops when a 980ti is 6.1tflops as well.
I see. Kinda like TressFX when Tomb Raider 2013 came out, then.

That's... that's pretty clever

It isn't exclusive.
But it uses strong points of Nvidia gpus so Amd cards take bigger hit from it so AMD fans get very vocal about it.

As someone currently rocking a i7-3770k and a GTX 680 what do people recommend I do?
I'm currently saving for a new PC build and looking at a GTX 1080 and I7-6700k. Looking to build around August, good idea to dip for the 1080 and that processor? Hoping for third party releases of the 1080 by that time.

We know a lot instead and guessing based on facts isn't at all wrong as you think it is. Of course we need real benchmarks but it's a cut down, 6.5 TFlops, -25% Cores and less bandwidth than a 1080. You really can't imagine anything performance wise from these info? Also please stop trying to be sarcastic or just don't reply to me at all if you want to have a normal discussion.

TFLOP numbers by themselves are not enough to predict gaming performance.
Guessing, even based on theoretical numbers, is still guessing. Until there are real benchmarks, nobody knows whether a 1070 will outperform the 980 Ti or not. I'll also reply to you whenever I please, sarcastically or not. Feel free to ignore it if you're bothered by it.

Man l now wonder if Nvidia will go 10nm for the lower end chips given the TSMC news regarding ARM on 10nm?
The performance penalty on AMD cards isn't significantly larger, if at all.
TSMC tends to jump the gun on announcing advances, only to delay later. Besides I think GPU lags the SoCs by a year.
Unlikely. They could go for it in their mobile parts but not desktop GPUs (nor laptop for that matter). Typically LPE processes come online before the HP processes. It happened at 28nm, at 20nm HP was a complete bust and it happened again at 16nm/14nm.

But are enough to predict approximate gaming performance given that you already know how a 1080 (same architecture) is performing along with the all the other specs which we already know and those are facts. Feel free to think that the 1070's performance is completely unguessable though.
As a rule of thumb sure, but you're now being obtuse given what we know of the architecture as well. Even if it isn't exactly 980Ti performance, it's more than a safe bet it'll be close.

Buy the GTX 1080, overclock your current processor, and keep on rockin'.

In all honesty, my opinion is that it will depend how well it can overclock. Agreed that stock v stock it will be close (probably +/- 5%), but the overclockability will be the real determinant here, I think at least.
Best to wait for Benchmarks.
Were the reports re: the size of the cards accurate (far smaller than Ti)?
I have a small case and thought I may have to build a new system, but if they are comparable in size to a 670 I may be able to just upgrade the card (and maybe RAM).
Do we have any feedback what motherboard features are required for installation and good performance?

Is there an official word on when this founder edition pricing is going to end and the "official" price starts? These cards look good but no way am I paying that price.
BladeSinner
Neo Member
Pretty sure they will also be 10.5" in length with regards to size. Since it is GDDR5, and 8GB of it, I find it hard to believe it could be any smaller than that.
That being said, most SFF cases can fit a 10.5" card. What case do you have?

Need 1080 VR Benchmarks!!!
I mean, benchmarks will land first. We can't buy a 1070 regardless. But we DO have a price , so it isn't really crazy for someone to at the very least look forward to the possibility of picking one up.
It's certainly no "fool's card"

Absolutely! I need to look at pricing, and see if that includes Founders Edition "tax" or whatever you want to call it. My advice though would be to look at a 980ti NOW if you can get one for around the MRSP of the 1070.

Man there is nothing wrong with my pair of Dell U2412 24" 1080p monitors. But I feel buying a 1080 is kind of a waste if i'm just planning 1920x1080 60 fps

This card would be a waste if all you have is a 1080p, 60 hz display. You can already easily achieve that in almost all games at max settings with a 980 Ti, 980 or even a 970 in a lot of cases. I suppose you could mess around with down sampling.
BladeSinner
Neo Member
It really depends what settings you want to run with and what games you want to play, and what GPU you currently have, and how long you want to reach max settings @ 1080p60fps. But yeah, in general I would say the 1080 might be a bit overkill for that.

I guess it justifies in my head that I am currently running a 560ti and I want to get into VR in next year or so. 560Ti just cant make it anymore...

It's the successor to the 980, of course it's not as big of an upgrade for those of you with 980Tis.
So did I five or six months ago, if not more but you don't see me making repeated posts about it.
The 980Ti FLOP count at reference is 5.63, the Titan X is 6.14TF.
Pretty sure you can overclock those monitors.
Edit: Oh, thought you said U2414H, but still...

U2412m. I have had them a while now... I guess I could go 3 monitors deep and grab either a 4k or 2k monitor. But damn that seems overkill.
I think only of I open up the expansion slot or whatever it is called. I did not build it, so I'll have to see.Yes, 980ti, 1080, and 1070 cards should all be able to fit in that case!

Is there any reason to hold off on a 2.5k or 4k monitor at this point? I've heard of freesync or something, but I also heard there is going to be some sort of revision soon? If this is the wrong thread to ask this question, I can go post in PC community thread.

Personally I waiting for quality to improve. I want a 1440p IPS, but the quality of the current crop is poor.
I wanted to skip this gen and hold out for the next one with my 970. But here I am with a Vive sitting here really needing that extra performance. Hopefully the 1070 performs pretty great because I don't wanna pay the $700 for 1080. Maybe I can still hold out with my 970 but everytime I get bad performance in VR it's gonna make it really hard. For mostly every other game I'm still happy with my 970.

Poor? U2515H is great. And there are also great 21:9 monitors.
BladeSinner
Neo Member
Yes, I believe you are correct. Should not be TOO difficult. I am sure there are more than enough people in the PC thread that can help you with that if you need guidance
Is your 970 struggling right now? If you are into vr the 1070. Probably the 1070 in any case but we need some more benchmarks first.
The_Inquisitor
Member
Oh man that 2515h looks great. Anyone here using one? 21:9 is probably out of reach as I never plan to SLI.

Sorry, meant to include gsync/ 144hz.

If you're going after 4K, you would do better to get a small 4K TV instead of a 4K monitor. They use the good panels in TVs.
Or you could make the move to the comfy couch and get a big screen 4K TV for your PC gaming. This would benefit your consoles as well so it's a win-win!
Project Cars VR wrecks a 1080. Prob CPU limited, either way I'm sad

If your current card runs these games good i would invest on a G-SYNC monitor now and upgrade your graphic card when High Bandwidth Memory hits. G-sync will make any game look smooth and by disabling V-sync your frame rates will improve.

560Ti isn't cutting it.

Yes in your case 560ti doesn't support G-sync. It's a case by case advice.
