Hmm, not happy about FE cooling perfomance from what I've read
What is nvidia.com's return policy? Can I return it for no restocking fee?

Haha, indeed! I want the 1080 Ti soo bad. The performance is higher and the price is cheaper than I was expecting.
With that said, I'm holding firm that I'm not upgrading from my 980 Ti until the 1180 Ti arrives. Should be an insane performance boost.

They're probably anticipating Vega.

Damn... 2.5x tha powa of my 980ti in 4k? Tempting, but I'm not spending $700 on a card when my 980ti just hit the one year old mark for me. I want one though... but I'll wait another year or two.

The card is a beast, but i'm gonna patiently wait for Volta with my 980ti.

Well then you sell the 980TI for like $250 or something and then the 1080TI becomes much more intriguing

Let's see when EVGA announces their card.
Nvidia store charged my card this morning, so I guess it's shipping today.
If EVGA isn't releasing a card by next week (when my founders editions arrives), I will most likely keep it.
Just need a firm answer as to when we can order partner cards. The founder's edition will be available "everywhere" tomorrow, maybe others will be as well?
At least Nvidia announced their pre-order date and time. Lasted about 45 minutes and it was fairly easy to get an order in.
Not thrilled with the cooling, but I don't think we are going to see crazy overclocking with partner cards. They will be cooler and quieter for sure, but I wouldn't expect much more performance potential.

I bought my 980 almost exactly two years ago. I'm really tempted to buy this card, even though I'm not playing that many particularly demanding PC games these days. And my 980 still seems to be running things just fine (although Hitman got a little frame-y here and there).

Why...
Also, why would anyone with 980TI or better want to upgrade?
I have 980TI, and the soonest I'll upgrade will be to 1270 (or, realistically speaking, 1360).

I'm so glad 4k is doing well on single cards now. Hopefully this means their next generation of cards will all be easily capable of 4k gaming, even the 1160 for games like Dota2 and Overwatch.

Really?
If you play on 1080 you absolutely don't need to upgrade. A 980Ti / 1070 is fine to play everything >60fps for now and years to come.
This is for people who play on 1440p with full eye candy or 4k
Because 980ti shits the bed above 1440p?

Which reviews comment most extensively on overclocking so far?

$500 is still a good chunk of money for a single component. Honestly I tend to upgrade my entire PC every 3-5 years. I try to stay ahead of the console curve, but since the 980ti is already leaps and bounds better than any console (including the PS4 Pro and Scorpio), I don't really have much urgency to upgrade just yet.

Previously, how much more did custom 1080 overclock over FE? 2-3% more performance?
I wont mind the louder fan since i plan to have a blower and a more compact sized card.
If additional power phases cant help Pascal overclock, i will go with 1080Ti FE since it will be the cheapest.

Responding from someone quoting me on the prev. thread:
I am one of these people that anything below 60 FPS is crap.
I wish I didn't care, but I do..
Maybe crap is a harsh word.. but 30FPS just feels like a sluggish crap basket to me..between 50-59FPS I don't notice as much.. but knowing I'm not hitting 60FPS sort of gets to me.. which is more my own problems I guess lol..
I am wanting all graphics maxed (minus any AA) and at least 60FPS in 4K. That's my current goal.

I thought Nvidia said the new cooling method would be improved over what they were previously using for Founders Edition cards? Between the Linus review and anandtech they both seem to show it being slightly warmer if not the same.

The driver with "improved" DX12 was also released today. I wonder if there are any tests.

It´s totally reasonable. The smoothness that 60+FPS provides makes for a better experience.

the card seems to be bottlenecked by the cpu lol it's too fast.

Man, I was thinking about a PS4 Pro to take advantage of my 4k TV, but now...1080ti is mighty tempting...
That's not going to happen with the demanding games according to that 74% number, which is why I'm leaning towards waiting for the next one as I can do 1440p60 with my 980ti 90% of the time.
Wait. Is it 74% improvement at 4K or 2.5x, I'm confused. (vs 980ti)
-EDIT- 2.5x is compared to the Kepler cards, 980ti is maxwell

eVGA owners don't forget about the step-up program, you are able to upgrade from one card to a newer one if its bought within 90 days of the upgrade and you just pay the difference. Unfortunately I guess nowadays they require you to send in your old card first and then they send your old card, thought they used to send your new card first:

Wait.... so Pascal cards don't overclock as well as Maxwell? Shiiiiet. Why haven't we heard about this until now?

They (Nvidia) were wrong.

Nice to see 1080 prices drop so hard, I'll get one of those instead of the 1070 I had planned.

Wondering how this card stacks up against 980 SLI.
I wonder how much sooner I'd be able to get a 1080 Ti if I bought a 1080 today and initiated a step-up once they become available, than if I just try my luck with new 1080 Ti stock.

Because it isn't enough for 1440p@144 or 4K@60 fps gaming

I have the Acer X34 which is the 1440p ultrwide gsync monitor. WoW literally kills my framerate in large PvP or PvE fights with 980 SLI at midrange settings. WoW is an old game, yes the graphics have been updated, but it's nowhere near games like Witcher 3 or something even newer.
That's 2 years out tho
Just wait to buy a 1080ti, the queue for step up can become huge and they always prioritize new sales over step up.

The 1070 was in the same performance range as the 980Ti, so it is possible the 1170 equivalent would fit. But there is no guarantee of that, and I'm not sure anyone knows when those cards will release.

Fury X came out one month after the 980 Ti. Since then Nvidia has launched four cards faster than the Fury X.
This generation AMD have been nothing but an embarrassment where we desperately need competition. How long until some IHVs just give up and build their own cores using a massive PowerVR Furian array?
