Pascal GPU is eagerly awaited by many people for several months now. The 1080 is attractive with the GDDR5x. Maybe later, the 1080 will have the HBM2 ?

I would wait unless what you currently have is way underpowered or you need 4K straight away, direct competitor to 1080 will be Vega which launches Q1 next year. It will be interesting to see how the Polaris 10 stacks up against the 1070 both in terms of power efficiency and performance as they are both targeting the mid-high end.

A few weeks ago I probably would have said wait to and see what AMD bring out or even wait and see if Nvidia bring out higher end cards this year. Have a watch of this: https://youtu.be/OMfGJf1KWWk.

In summary, it very much seems like AMD are targetting the mainstream market (as well as better efficiency) whereas nvidia are targeting the high-end and enthusiast market. From a business perspective this makes sense as those are the strongest areas today for each company and nvidia are able to play on their brand.

I'm going to wait to see what Vega brings (to replace my 390X) as HBM2 will feel like the proper 'next-generation' and I don't think Polaris will bring the performance increase I'm looking for.

I would see Vega as more of a competitor to a 1080ti or whatever Nvidia decide to do at the enthusiast level. A Polaris-based 490X would probably be the direct competitor to the 1080 but there's a distinct possibility that that won't even happen. We shall see.

I was very excited to read the news! Was waiting for them to release something interesting. Now see what AMD will offer.
But I was planning to build new rig till end of summer, maybe they will release 1080TI by that time and I can use that as a core :D

My immediate problem is my 980Ti thermally throttles and even when not throttling there isn't quite enough power. I already tried cleaning, and it was clean. Reapplying thermal compound made no difference. My options are basically watercooling or new card. Watercooling isn't cheap or simple. Q1 next year is too far out. I wont fight to get it on day 1, but certainly it is a consideration for me in the short term. If the multi-monitor thing works without waiting for ED to code it in, that would push it up my desire list a LOT.

Probably a stupid question, but is it not still under Warranty? 980TI hasn't been around long. I used to mine dogecoin(when it was profitable) and have RMA'd more cards than I can count:)

I would bet it was under warranty until he opened the shielding for "reapplying thermal compound". I really don't get it why people fool around with expensive stuff that is obviously defective and under warranty instead of simply sending it in for replacement/ service.

What a press conference! simultaneous multi-projection sounds just amazing. And the 1080 holy crap! And Ansel!

The Nvidia fanboyism grows strong in this one. ��

Edit. I'm glad I waited for the Pascal announcement. I'm gonna get the 1070 plus VR. :)

I have 2x980tis (MSI gaming 6gb) and they are disgustingly good. Nice and cool, even during 3d mark's 4k test, but even I am considering 2x1080s too.

I will await the reviews before buying though

The 1080Ti will have the HBM2 memory ? ... perhaps ...

The GPU 1080 has cost several billion dollars in research and development and we are very proud of the result has announced, all smiles, Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA.

Exactlly what I need.:)

When doing graphics hardware upgrades, I usually skip a generation. Got a 780 Ti and I suppose early next year I will get myself a 1080. From the information we have, I would absolutely expect 4K resolution (or 2x supersampling) to run at greater performance even. Finally I can ignore the horrible antialiasing in ED. I just noticed last week when I made a high-res screenshot and scaled it down to my screen's native resolution, how good that looks even without an actual 4K screen.

I am so looking forward to this. I just realised the other day... I don't need to ask my parents to buy one for me. I haven't needed that for about... 25 years. I have a good job. I think I can afford one of these.

What I don't have, is a clue how to do a self-build. It's research time!

The first cards with GDDR5x will be 10 Gb/s. But the next 2 years will see the frequency increase. 14 GB/s by the end of the next year and up to 16 GB / s. Perhaps for the graphic cards of second generation of 14/16 nanometers ?
