Nvidia Announce their GTX 1080 GPU

So AIB custom blower coolers?

Still had hope for the coolers since the first pic looks to be the original titan titian like cooler.

Still those Temps are quite nice for a blower. Too bad no reviews for sound etc etc.

Who cares what AMD is going to put out (not bein serious). This is an nVidia release/announcement thread. Keep the speculation for rumor/speculation threads.. all this AMD can't compete in the high end crap. Each will do what they can and need to do.

Apparently the only reference style card will be the founders edition, Anything else will be custom.

No one was talking about AMD competing in the high end, that was days ago.. you're just bringing it back up

It wasn't old news to me. I didn't know about it.

The posts are there. Doesnt matter when they were posted unless one was reviving a dead thread.

I watched the live stream and they cleverly made out the 'founders edition' as having higher overclock headroom vs the standard!!!

Cheaky

It matters when you revive a dead topic.
Either way it doesn't matter. It was said and they weren't really off topic.

 

[Kushiro]

Dead topic doesn't make it irrelevant nor makes it disappear, never know when it might come up again.

Either way it doesn't matter. Doesnt get more off topic than this.

Not really, Saying The standard edition will be $599 and then the founders edition which will have obscene amounts of overclocking etc... at $699 sounds like the founders is a little more custom than reference as usually the cheaper version is reference so according to Nvidia if we want the snazzy silver cooler we have to pay more than some AIB partners will charge for custom cards which is just nuts.

Could be a nicer binned chip too. Who knows.

The way I understand it is that the "Founder's Edition" IS the reference edition. The two terms are interchangeable. The lower MSRP is for the third party cards offering their own cooling solutions giving third parties the opportunity to undercut or exceed NVIDIA's pricing as desired. The Founder's Edition cards aren't binned. They're not super-special. They're just NVIDIA's own offering.

Not everyone has the time for that. Besides, I was pointing how needlessly dismissive and argumentative you were, which I've noticed is quite common with you. But I won't derail this any further. Just had to get that out there.

Not really common at all, but the fact you didn't watch the stream makes me all of a sudden dismissive and argumentative? Tell me how that is logical. I pointed something out and you didn't know it, because you didn't watch the stream, that's fine, i told you something you didn't know. There's no need for you to turn that into an argument.

I don't want to do the 'he said; she said' thing, but that's not what I'm referring to. I shouldn't have said anything.

You must be exhausted by now though, you've literally spent every day since the 1080 announcement fighting what is quite frankly, a losing battle.

I'm not fighting it at all bud. I am just not getting hyped up like everyone else is. I know it will be good, I've said already, but not to the extent everyone is raving about. I'm waiting for the real numbers and not ones from Nvidia, same for Polaris. There numbers don't matter, it whats the reviews say

 

[AngryGoldfish]

I'm keeping a skeptical mind as well.

I read another report regarding the estimated power of the 1080 today from Etenix, saying that it will be 50% more powerful than the 980ti. That's far more powerful than I had anticipated. If it's true—wow. As someone who has invested in AMD, I'm hyped to see their retort, but it's going to be hard not to want to go back to nVidia. I am happy with my Fury as the games I play at 1440p all get above 60 FPS with the settings I like, but 980 SLI performance is not to be snuffed at—if it's true and there isn't a big caveat.

If Polaris is only to replace the 300 series—390X performance with GTX 950 efficiency—and the Fury remains the flagship until Vega, I'm OK with that. But no one is going to buy a Fury when the 1070 is supposedly going to be as good as it for significantly less money. I also wonder who will buy Vega other than AMD fans since nVidia will have already released their major contenders and blown folks away.
