Sounds like the 1070 is the fools choice. 1080 or 980ti, if you must buy a new card now.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

If it is close to a 980 ti it's not a bad choice, 2gb of extra vram is nice. I would wait on 1440p and 4k benches though with that low memory bandwith.
1070. Should be roughly on par for raw power, but assuming unity/UE update to support the multiprojection stuff, the 1070 should get a nice boost from that.
in a world where people don't have budget limits, sure. In the real world it will likely be way more popular than either 1080 or 1080ti
That is accurate, yes. It wasn't brought up in my post for that reason, but it doesn't make your observation incorrect either.
cheers
1080 is a 300sqmm chip. 980ti is a 600sqmm chip. I think 3840 cores is a conservative estimate. If 1080ti is a 600sqmm chip could it have over 5000 cuda cores??
Yeah I want to run my games at 3440x1440p 21:9 Ultra 60FPS...Can't do that with a 970

Exactly. the 1070 vs 980ti is looking more like which of the cards you manage to get overclocking further will win out. Only thing I can see being interesting is 4K performance, with the extra RAM of the 1070 (though countered with slower bandwidth.

Probably next year. The usual pattern is that the Titan class version comes out and 6 months after that the Ti version comes out. That is they stick to what they have done in the past. I am hoping the Titan class version comes out towards the end of this year.
The size does not matter. It's about the hints. They gave the 1070 card 1920 cudacores to hint that it is a 1920x1080p monitor card. While the 1080 is a 2560x1440p monitor card with 2560 cudacores. And the TI is going to be 3840x2160p card with 3840 cudacores. It's only natural progression.
I think the 1070 would be the perfect choice for 1440p but it gonna melt at 4k.

You just have to look at the images of the board and you can see that Nvidia added a second placement for more power, they just felt that the reference versions did not need it. So it won't be that hard for board partners to add a second power slot, they would also have to upgrade the regulators on the board to handle the extra power, but this is common for board manufactures. I don't think it will be long until we see boards with better power delivery and more power.

The 980ti can play 4K material @ 30fps so the 1070 should be able to do likewise. If you can't game at 60 with a 1080 even, you might just as well cap at 30 and be done with it, if wanting to play at high resolutions.
For reference I benchmark 44fps average with an overclocked 980ti at 4k in Rise of the Tomb Raider, So 30fps locked is doable.
I'm holding off on playing through the last DLC and the upcoming one until I have the card, gonna be so good.

Question...
Is SLI/Crossfire still a pain in the ass? Thinking about maybe two 1080's....don't think I can wait for a Ti variant assuming there is one. My 680 is getting tired.

Buy one 1080? Then sell it next year and buy a 1080ti.

Might finally build/purchase a desktop when the 1080 gets a Ti variation and the base model comes down in price a bit.
Cant fault any of those pricings.
390 if you game 4K or plan to keep it for 2 years.
290x if you game @ 1440p
290x can be flashed to 390x. You are literally paying 150$ for 390X performance. With a bit of overclock (1150mhz), you are gaming between Fury and Fury X territory on that 150$ card. I dont think you will see anything new on the market for that price/performance for at least a year and a half.

No way. Even if it is slightly weaker than a 980 Ti at launch, it will be faster in a few months because of driver optimisations and newer games using DX12. Remember the 780 Ti.

Looks like I can roll with my 980ti and G-Sync for a while longer. I'll look at a new PC build 2-3 years from now.

It's actually getting worse over last year as more games lack any support for it.
Not to mention the 1070 will still be cheaper than a 980 Ti, at least initially. I can't afford to through $600 at a 1080, but I can swing $380 for a 1070.

Courtesy of 3DCenter, click for more resolutions, added to the OP.
Which is complete bullshit in itself and does not relate to anything post Kepler either. But you're too blinded by your crusade to understand this. It's a pity that some people may actually think that what you're saying has anything to do with latest NV h/w.
Did anyone come across a review that talked about HDR or DP1.4? Granted there probably are no displays at all supporting the latter yet but HDR is in TVs as far as I'm aware so I'd be interested in some pieces on HDMI2.0b etc.
I only skimmed through a few and didn't see any more in-depth mention. Perhaps sb else did though.

Couldn't stomach more than the first paragraph now that we have independent benchmarks and measurements. What a pile of bs.
E: k, seems like they blocked me from commenting on the article because I mentioned the definitely higher temps on lower clocks presented in all reviews. Granted, it was tongue in cheek, but I'm really interested in how they achieved these temps on the reference card in Texas when all evidence points in the opposite direction.

Thing seems awesome.
But ill go for the 1070 when available.

To add even more confusion to FE vs non-FE availability: GeForce GTX 1080: Most Bizarre Secret Paper Launch Ever
Seems like even journalists had no idea what NV's plans were for the FE.
Additionally, in the comment thread Kyle mentioned they haven't received 1070 review samples yet.

I want a 1080 so bad, but there's no way I can justify that cost. I might have to wait for like an 1170 or whatever that next line's 2nd-tier card will be.
So I read the main Nvidia PR person jumped ship to AMD? Might explain the change in tone for PR. The whole craftsmanship angle is awful. They are making AIB cards seem like they are shit 1080 versions when they typically have more interesting designs. Extra 100 bucks for Craftsmanship designed to function at stock speed with same 3 year warranty, so amazing.
I feel dumb, didn't make this connection until you pointed it out. Totally obvious.

Looking to upgrade my gtx 970.
Do you experts think I should go with a used gtx 980 ti or wait for the gtx 1070?
Hard to decide.

Wait for the 1070 benchmarks, then decide?

Looks like the 1080 is going to be a killer card for a 144hz G-Sync setup running at 1080p. Looks like it will easily push well over 60 FPS in even some of the most stressful games with everything maxed out.
Well, I appreciate the new features of the pascal architecture, so I'd rather spend some extra money for the 1070.

Thanks!
There are some pretty good deals on Craigslist right now for gtx 980 ti's so I was just wondering.

Pretty impressive how many games it can achieve 60fps (or near it) at 4K.
Wait for 1070 benchmarks, then decide.

Is HBAO+ Nvidia exclusive? If they're doing benchmark comparisons, it'd make sense to have consistent settings.
Oh, I see. Thought it was a broken setting that I should turn off or something like that. Makes sense.
No, it's not.

What the hell am I reading? Do you guys know anything I don't cause these comments don't make any sense. It's a 380$ card with around 980Ti performance, that's about it. Not impressive enough? How are you jumping to the conclusion that it's a bad card? (or even below a 980)
