EDIT: N/m
RandomGuy, it looks like Nvidia is announcing the cards to the public tomorrow.
If this leak is accurate, the 1080 is 26% faster than an out of the box 980 Ti. But if it's running 1860 MHz that means it's going to be a huge power hog and I wonder how much overclocking headroom it would have.

If this is true then I would think a GTX 1070 will probably be a little ahead of the 980 Ti. But we'll have to wait for legit benchmarks and not leaks to know for sure.

Card is ugly as though
And I'd never buy a reference card, especially for something as power hungry as this card looks like it will be. I heard so many noise complaints from people who bought an X and reference 980 Ti.
Well, I will save the video card for last.RandomGuy, it looks like Nvidia is announcing the cards to the public tomorrow.

Heh, wife's car started making a rather nasty noise, so I might have to push off the purchase of everything else from the planned time this weekend. (will finally have time then to work on this).
I have another week or two to wait for the video card, so keep me up to date.
I would guess these cards won't be in stores for three weeks or so, though I suppose we'll hear tomorrow since this is an official public Nvidia event now.
Damn man, the remastered COD 4 Modern Warfare looks ing nice.
GOAT CoD game. I'd give it a go again.
Too bad you gotta buy the new COD that Activision s out in November to get it.
Yeah, too bad you need to buy the 89.99 special edition of the new POS to get the remaster
@ 414K dislikes for Infinite Warfare
That's interesting, apparently Nvidia is making the announcement in Austin today.

Hey everybody, Guru3D has landed in Texas for two days of briefings with Nvidia. We'll talk about the new and upcoming stuff, with that said, we'll be hosting a Twitch livestream later today so that you guys can follow the announcements live from Guru3D.com The Livestream event will start at 6PM PST / 3:00 AM Friday (night), in Amsterdam, Netherlands (please use a timezone converter for your local time). Currently I cannot share any further details, but a famous mathematician will likely be involved here. Check back here on the site, we'll have a HD embedded link up and running around the launch time of the event.
We'll stream the TWITCH ink from here, if it fails we'll go through U stream.
Their event is open to the public. Damn I should go start a youtube channel, drive up there today, and see if they'll give me a 1080 to test.
LOL doing their reveal in AMD territory.
The reveal is at 3PM CST

Apparently it's supposed to be Battlefield 1, and set in WWI.
But I guess we'll know for sure in 2 1/2 hours.
That looks more dieselpunk to me than straight WW1. Maybe alternate reality?Apparently it's supposed to be Battlefield 1, and set in WWI.
But I guess we'll know for sure in 2 1/2 hours.
Side note: Have you (or anyone else) played Wolftenstein A New Order? It's a few years old but I finished it some months back and it was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend for a fantastical WW2 shooter. Some of the most realistically brutal deaths in the game, you really feel them, in kind of a bad way.
Harlem fighters were a black infantry regiment in WWI and WWII according to Wikipedia. Dude on the cover is also holding a Mauser C96, which screams WWI.
Yeah, WWI it is.
Damn, the 7 Nation Army song is ing awesome paired with the trailer. The lyrics are such a natural fit.
I wonder if AMD is going to start feeling the pressure to bump their release date up. Considering Nvidia is supposed to be releasing a GTX 1060 Ti according to rumors, AMD better get Polaris 10 out quick to counter that. Too bad AMD's counter to the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 won't come out until 2017 though (Vega 11).
The benchmark I'm most interested in seeing with Pascal is for Quantum Break. Maxwell gets ing murdered by this game, supposedly the problem is if Maxwell is doing rendering work it has to flush everything and wait for the chip to idle before switching to compute, and vice versa, while AMD cards can switch between render and compute workloads immediately. Supposedly Pascal will be able to do this too, and Pascal is supposed to be a lot more like GCN than Maxwell was.
Are they actually launching today? Get in here DJR210.
Nvidia posted this on their blog today and then immediately deleted it, but you can still see it in the google cache
https://webcache.googleusercontent.c...&ct=clnk&gl=ukOur First Virtual Reality Experience, VR Funhouse, Shows What Pascal Can Do for VR
With the launch of our GeForce GTX 1080 [ADD PRESS RELEASE LINK], we’re announcing the first virtual reality experience we’ve created from the ground up — NVIDIA VR Funhouse — to highlight what our Pascal-based GPU can do for VR.
VR Funhouse is built to bring a new level of immersion to VR by enhancing what you see, hear and touch through a combination of great graphics, fully interactive audio and simulated physics. The HTC Vive-compatible, room-scale experience is coming soon to your GeForce GTX PC through Valve’s Steam digital distribution service.
Players can bounce between ten different mini-games, which let them tackle carnival-inspired challenges such as tossing basketballs, popping balloons, and shoot at targets fired from a cartoonish cannon. ADD DETAILS ABOUT OPEN-SOURCING FOR COMMUNITY, IF APPROPRIATE, HERE.
While our experience is packed with whimsical touches, it’s built to show off Pascal’s groundbreaking technologies. It’s the most technically advanced VR experience yet. Lift the lid and here are just a few of the technologies you’ll find behind all the fun:
NVIDIA Flow — Grab a bow and arrow in our target-shooting mini-game. Set the arrow aflame and you’ll be able to shoot it at targets that burst into flames when they’re hit. Our NVIDIA Flow technology physically simulates experiences such as fire throughout VR Funhouse.
NVIDIA HairWorks — The whimsical feel of our colorful “The Mole the Merrier!” and “Knock’Em Silly” challenges is enhanced by NVIDIA HairWorks technology. Jab at your targets. Give them a knock and you’ll see their colorful hair bounce. Or pat them on the head to flatten their jazzy haircuts.
VRWorks Physics — Poke, punch, pound and explore. VR Funhouse is filled with objects that you can interact with in surprising ways using your hand controllers. Our PhysX technology for VR gives the objects in the game realistic physical behavior, enabling proper graphics, collision detection, and haptics force feedback.
NVIDIA FleX — In our “He’s Flexible” mini-game, you’ll be able to pick up gooey, colorful blobs — that stretch and jiggle in surprising ways in your hand — toss them at targets and watch them ooze toward the ground. You’ll find this next-generation particle-based physical simulation used all over VR Funhouse.
NVIDIA VRWorks Audio — Walk into “Flight of the Clown,” and you’ll need to use your ears to locate a stealthy drone. VRWorks Audio uses our Pascal GPUs to ray trace sound waves in real-time, realistically simulating how audio propagates and reflects across the room. The reflections and echoes created by VRWorks Audio will test your skills in locating the drone.
VR SLI — The more, the merrier. If you’ve got two GPUs, this technology will let one GPU render images to your left eye, and the other to your right, maximizing performance and minimizing latency.
But Wait, There’s More
These are just a few of the ways our VRWorks technology is enhancing VR Funhouse.
For a closer look at these technologies and others you’ll be able to experience — such as our new Single Pass Stereo and Lens Matched Shading — dive into our in-depth looks at VRWorks [INSERT LINK WHEN LIVE] and VR Funhouse [INSERT LINK WHEN LIVE] on GeForce.com.
Nice
GTX 1080
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10se...force-gtx-1080
10 GB GDDR5X clocked at 10 GHz effective speed
Base clock: 1607 MHz
Boost clock: 1733 MHz
180W TDP
Memory Bus Width: 256 bit (980 Ti is 384 bit)
Memory bandwidth: 320 GB/s (980 Ti has 336.5 GB/s)
They're showing one running at 2.1 GHz core clock in the presentation, claimed it was on air cooling. No price, no launch date so far, and no mention of the GTX 1070 or 1060 Ti. They're claiming about 22% higher performance than an X.

RandomGuy, the GTX 1070 will be for sale on June 10th. Nvidia claims it'll be a little faster than an X (which is very slightly faster than the 980 Ti) and the MSRP is $379, so you're looking at about a 35% gain in performance for $50 more than the R9 390 I recommended a few months ago. That's a no-brainer in my opinion, it's far and away the best price to performance card out there at the high end. Of course assuming they're telling the truth, which we'll find out when benchmarks release in the next few weeks.
At $379 this card is going to sell like crazy, so I'd be prepared to buy at midnight on June 10 if possible.
