finnaaalllllyyy 4k finally doable. im guessing the aftermarket overclocked cards will do just fine about danm time. now if only i can find a good scaling for the desktop cos i cant see SHIT when my desktop is set to 4k
look at those jars, jars and those jars, buy jars - didn't i already say jars? oi we got a mouse too you should buy something - buy something, wanna buy bed? hell we can make you bed if you buy it.
I'm gonna wait till AMD releases the Vega 10 cards before thinking about upgrades, but it really looks like Pascal is actually just an incremental upgrade.
It also would be nice, if someone benchmarked also 780TI against 980Ti and 1080 - it would give a nice perspective.
Wow. These are some of the worst 4K numbers I've seen posted by the 1080. Really puts it into perspective when you put it up against n OCed 980 Ti.
Cool Maxwell die shrink nVidia. Still didn't fix the bad high res performance. I'm sure VR will be better because of the tech but that is a small market as of now. High res is much more common.
Guess we know why they went with the name GTX 1080....
Pretty sure it was the performance per watt that was supposed to be doubled. ~15-20% gain is good for a tick progression, Wondering how the 1070 OCs though. Historically on new chips the 70 can sometimes beat the 80 once they are both OCed to the max. Single pass stereo is a big deal and an actually engineer-able obstacle. 4k is just moar pixels which is kinda a brute force only thing but it's progress. Other tech is very cool as well. Pure numbers are gonna be less and less a deciding factor going forward IMHO. The freesync/g-sync thing has gotta settle out/merge and then driver functionality is going to drive markets. Exciting stuff. But I would not want to be in the market this year, or even probably next. My 980ti's are solid.
@Logan you really need to start getting more sleep or something.. there were a lot of out of order slides on that 1080 video... we're counting on you to break through the Nvidia only mentality of the plebians we need you on point!
I liked that Soma benchmark... Someone should test more indie games... Because God damn if most AAA nowadays are not bought and payed for... If it is not Ubisoft Nvidia will be Warner Brothers Nvidia or Gearbox Nvidia or even CD Project Red Nvidia...
Everyone but Logan was drinking the nvidia coolaid at the party they had in Texas. Its like the gtx 980 is clocked at 1.2 ghz and this is clocked at 1.6 ghz and the other youtube videos wonder why it is faster. I would love to see the 1080 clocked down to 1.2 ghz and see how fast it is and then you will see if nvidia really did add new tech to make things faster. And the only way they could get the .4 ghz jump is die shrink. And that is not nvidia tech thats chip manufactures tech. And yes i do own an nvidia card. I am waiting to see what AMD has to offer cuz this is a bit of a let down for all the hype. And as for VR that is another hype product that only a few people will purchase. The size of the thing is also too much. Would love to know how you feel after wearing it for an hour 4 times out of a week.I will wait to see how may neck strains occur and law suits. And i could be wrong about VR this maybe the new thing to gaming it is something I will keep looking into over time. I am not the guinea pig type, I am more the wait and see. This all just personal view points I try to look past the hype and see what it is that they are trying to sell me.
Yeah... I think I will wait till AMD makes an announcement on a GPU. I dont even 4K these days so my R9 290 is holding up fairly well (sort of). I dont have a 4K display so I have yet to make use of the display port. Desk space is whats holding me back from 4K displays.
