I run a 780Ti SLI rig,
Im not sure so thought i would ask here. How does the performance (going by these specs) of one 1080 match / surpass 2x780 SLI ?

Same. Would love to see AMD bring a really good direct competitor again.
Ironically I drop my resolution to 1080p to bump up my frame rate on newer games.

if this is anything like last time, it would be a mistake to upgrade to the 1080.
i will wait for the Ti version, and save myself the hassle of selling off the 1080 to finally get the speed increase i wanted out of it in the first place.
kind of bracing for disappointment when these release though, video card releases just haven't been all that exciting these past few years.
yeah, this is exactly how i feel [980 Ti owner who bought the 980 when it came out as well lol].
when a new line of cards comes out, it feels like a joke that they're essentially targeting current performance levels with new architecture. [and by current, i mean performance levels we've had for the past few years really]

Yeah hopefully we'll see AMD'S came back on the PC market. They already own the console market so it's time for some real competition against Nvidia!

Amen. Owner of a 780 Ti, SLI 980s, and 980 Ti here. I just wish they would release the Ti cards at the same time (or a couple of months later) and not a year later, or at least provide a decent upgrade from the Ti -> newest top-tier non-Ti. If this will be like the 780 Ti to 980 then you're right, upgrading would be a massive mistake.
As with any new gpu launch, if you have the previous generations ti card, early adoption probably won't make sense. I tend to wait for the ti revisions, unless these cards can blow my 980ti out of the water, I'll be holding off for a year or more. "Roughly" doesn't sound like a great upgrade to me.

Anyone else feel like his guy's analysis is mostly fluff?
All he seems to have are a couple photos of the card's PCB, along with very basic stats like the Process Node size, amount of transistors, amount and type of ram. Most of this we already knew, and he is even speculating on the amount of cuda cores, noted by the (tbc) beside the cuda core numbers. Having these stats basically amounts to nothing in terms of him knowing how the card will actually perform. Especially when you compare these stats to the 9XX line and the 7XX line.
Nevermind that his price estimates are completely out of whack. What reasoning does he have to speculate that the 1070 will launch at $120-$220 more than the 970 launched for two years ago? I fully expect Nvidia to price the 1070 close to $329, or maybe $350.
Looking forward to finally seeing some real info on this soon. Still hopeful that a single 1070 will be able to come close to a 980 ti, but I could be wrong.

AMD made a dedicated web page for polaris. Not much new info though unfortunately. https://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/radeon-polaris Apparently polaris will be 14 nm finfet, while pascal will be 16 nm, which is interesting.

What would be a reasonable expectation of the release or announcement window of the new Titan? Holding off for now because I'd be using these for rendering the the VRAM is lower then the Titan X.
Q1 2017. Titans have consistently been announced around that time.
That's actually pretty nice, a lot of exciting info in one place. I think Nvidia doesn't have an equivalent page (yet)?
Not sure but wasnt titan x release in december? And the 980 ti in february?
To clarify Nvidia is using the 16FF+ from TSMC, whereas AMD seems to be using the Samsung/GF 14nm process.
This chart is leaves it somewhat unclear because the Samsung process shown is LPE (and their HP process may have different transistor sizes), but it gives a rough idea.
In real terms there isn't a large difference in feature sizing, although in the past AMD often had more perf/area for a given process node. However, that difference definitely got reduced with the GCN 1.2 GPUs (or possibly Nvidia started caring more about die space efficiency).

I'd wait for benchmarks, but the 1070 seems like a logical progression for you.
Its been on sale for $250 lately.
Damn you right. I was thinking CES. WCCF still sucks thiugh.

I was so hyped but now I think my brain is starting to kick in rational mode and I will probably let the 1070 on the shelf at launch and see what Polaris does when it comes out.
My 660 still serves my day-to-day stuff for now.

It will definitely be faster than the 980 Ti, anyone claiming the contrary is delusional. The 500 dollar price though might be right.So the 1080 is going to be around 500 bucks and be around the same speed as the 980ti.
...
... Condolences to those who waited. :|
At least there's Polaris!
But there's no guarantee Polaris is going to be much faster than 980Ti
I agree, WCCFtech news should be taken with a big grain of salt. They are masters of clickbait and SEO - and their comment sections makes you want to kill all humans, or yourself.
https://www.google.com/search?q=amd+polaris+performance - for me first four results are from wccftech. They know their SEO.

I'm itching to replace my 780 Ti's guess I'll wait for the 1080 Ti's although I'm not sure if I should even bother with Sli anymore.

I really hope they make an ITX version of the 1070 like they did the 970 else I will need a new case
Not gonna happen till AMD catches up.. same thing with Intel and cpus. No competition = no reason to waste R&D money

So the 1080 for $549 to $649. OK. 980 launched at 549, which was an improvement over the 780's $649.
At the same time, they're speculating the 1070 to be as fast as a 980, but from $449 to $549?? Considering that the 970 launched at $329 (and the 770 at $399)... oh boy...
One of these things is not like the other. If true (probs not), the 1070 is the new 980 (value).

So you guys think HBM2 will come first with the next Titan or the "1180" ?
Yeah, I'm curious to see results of the new stuff too. Although I'm anticipating just waiting for a Ti.
I'm curious if they do (or maybe do better, I'm not sure I remember the issue with this) asynch compute and am really curious to see if they get better gains from DX12, since it seems like the 9-series cards aren't getting that much of a bump. At least not compared to AMD (I wonder if that has anything to do with AMD's DX11 drivers, though).

My guess: probably Nov/Dec 2016 (pulling this out of my ass)
I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU for the first time. I'm rocking a Sapphire 280X now which I got in my pre-built PC. Curious to see the definitive pricing, and if rumours turn out right, I may be interested in a 1070. With it I would be just targeting good ol' fashioned 1080/60 maxed out for new games. (although I think the names could use improvement, especially the 1080 that will without a doubt be associated with 1080p.)

I'm in the same boat here, tempted to go for a 1080.
I have a 680 so I'm in the same boat.

What? Come on, 60 fps still looks great. It doesn't suddenly become shit because you have a higher head room. I have a 144hz with a 970 and I get above 60 for most games. The benefits of the monitor go beyond just the FPS.
I mean I get what your point is, but inadequate is reaching a bit don't you think?
970 would last until the PS5 if gaming on 1080p, but for those of us with upgraded monitor it's kind of a stop gap.
