Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

Is this plate below the heatsink new? Or was it on ACX 2.0?

Secured a preorder for the SuperClocked card from EVGA. Shipping was really damn expensive, but still came out cheaper than the Founders card.
 
Disappointing clocks so far on them imho - only 1900 boost doesn't bode well for outperforming 980ti by huge margin when both are overclocked.
 
Looks like the G1 is not the right choice looking the individual 8 pin connector, which one do you consider better, the Asus Strix OC Version or that custom EVGA?
 
Got my FE through work so I can save the VAT, £120 off price and will be delivered tomorrow.. Rift last Thursday and 1080 today my bank account has just committed suicide...

guess I am not going out this weekend.
 
ROG Strix actually has two variants, there is a regular Strix 1080 which is running on reference clock at 1607/1733. The 1898MHz boost one is the OC Edition which is more expensive than FE.

Wait, the factory OC'd Strix is only 1898 boost clock? What on earth? Does this mean there'll be another tier above Strix for something which starts at 2ghz and boosts higher?

1898 is pretty darn disappointing. The 980TI went from 1002/1076 stock to 1291/1317 which is like 30% vs this ~10%.
 
Got one of EVGA's FTW 1080s, with the ACX cooler. Should be good :D
Gonna sell my Titan X for the same price I paid for the 1080 so it's almost a straight swap for ~25% performance boost

There's also a supposed "OC mode" which puts boost clock up to 1936 MHz
 
And now people will accept that Nvidia priced themselves so high because they can't sell their own cards at the same prices as 3rd parties without damaging their relationships.

Will depend on how well they overclock with users doing the overclocking. I really want to see what a card with 2x8 pin and nice cooling solution can do. I am betting 2100+
 
The OC variant is still 200 SEK cheaper than FE in Sweden.

Also, STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING is the OC one, STRIX-GTX1080-8G-GAMING is the regular one.

Haven't seen regular one listed anywhere in Sweden though. Komplett.se, webhallen.se and inet.se all have the OC one (STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING) for 7499:- (FE is 7699:-)

It is rumored to be about 500 CNY ($80) more expensive than FE in China.
 
Alright, I'm an idiot and have to ask; what does "FTW" stand for in this context?
It's just a model name. But probably "For the win"? lol

Phew, I didn't even look up if the ACX 3.0 cooler would run fanless below a certain temp. It does according to product desc :)
 
Indonesian SRP price for the MSI 1080FE is Rp12.121.200 which is ~USD900

basically 980TI pricing, before mark up probably :|
 
Quick question since I'm new to all this graphics cars business. What's the advantage of two 8 pin or 8 & 6 pin connectors over one? Is it to be able to power the fans or overclock the card harder? I really like the water cooled MSI card but it only has one 8 pin. Does it just not need two because it's water cooled?

The advantage is higher ceiling for supplied power. Not much to do with cooling as coolers consume some minuscule wattage (even WC I think), everything to do with how high the card will able to overclock. So if you're not planning to overclock one 8 pin will be fine.
 
The pricing from EVGA gives me hope that most 1070's will come in at around $400 which is acceptable.

Yes, pleasantly surprised by evgas pricing. Commence eating crow.

Thinking an EVGA 1070 ftw if it has 2x 8 pins and the beefier pcb will be an excellent value.

Ah I see.

Damn, I do plan on doing some overclocking so that's kind of a bummer cause I'm in love with the look of the card. I guess I'll have to wait and see if the EVGA Hybrid has dual connectors.

EDIT: Actually, from that picture above it looks like it does?

It does, see the EVGA tweet above.
 
Well, cancelling the Zotac preorder, I got one of the EVGA FTW's.

So...the 1070 supposedly outperforms a 980ti, assuming both are stock. While the 1080 notably outperforms the 980ti only when overclocked? I know there's no hard data on a lot of these comparisons, but based on the information that's out there it's really hard to see the value in the 1080. Can anyone clarify where these cards sit performance wise in relation to one another? I'd assume 980ti < 1070 << 1080, but this doesn't seem to be the case, which, is confusing when one looks at the prices.

Edit: Have any of these guys (EVGA, Asus, etc) hinted at when their custom cards are coming out?

Will have to wait for 1070 reviews, but my guess is, 1070 ~= 980 ti and both are < 1080.
