How many TFLOPS are we talking about here?
I would guess 3.5-4.0TF
This is beautiful. Next gen consoles shouldn't be gimped or half stepped like the current ones are. At the very least they should be able to do 4k @ 60fps by 2019.
I think you're grossly underestimating how GPU-limited most games are.It's depressing thinking about how every other component of my computer would be a bottleneck for a chipset like this. That's cool knowing the transistor density be yielding improvements across the range of configurations.
This might be what I have been waiting for to finally take the step up to 1440p120/144Hz.
I am currently on a 970 with my 1080p144Hz monitor and for the most part it's good, but I could still use more power to keep games at 100+ without turning down too much.
I meant the chip itselfwouldn't the new memory structure actually decrease the size of the card?

If you're talking 120hz+, then it's a different story.
But then we're also talking DX12 and the other graphics APIS that get the CPU out of the way more than it has previously... Oh baby...
Well, the difference in power between PC and consoles will probably always be dictated by the power requirements from here on out. We wont see anymore 'special' console architecture like in previous days. So long as consoles aim for the 150w range, PC's will always maintain a pretty massive advantage in capabilities.The jump in technology should be huge. And this is to come out in 2016? By 2019, this'll be mid to low range tech as well hopefully, which leaves quite a jump for dedicated HW should Sony and MS and Nintendo choose to go down that path
1440p will be the new 1080p with this card.

It's a shame they never came up with controller options for PC games...and you can't play from your comfy couch.
I'll see your 680 and lower you to a 650TI. Been putting off a new build for almost two years and my gaming backlog is ridiculous.680 to Pascal
So is it worth it to upgrade now to a 970gtx? I don't want to spent another 300-500€ next year, if the leap is that big.

Well, obviously you will still see a decent bit of money if you resell the 970. But if you're not in desperate need of the upgrade, I might just hold out and see how big the jump is.So is it worth it to upgrade now to a 970gtx?

Anyway, that sounds huge, but I'll patiently wait how much of an improvement the 1070 or whatever pose compared to the 970. 8GB paired with a good chunk of performance upgrade for 400ish bucks and I'd probably upgrade (recently switched to 1440p, so some more VRAM would be nice if anything).
I really don't understand much of these words (new to PC gaming) but damn does it sound exciting. I'm gonna be building a new PC next year after these come out. Gonna get me a GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti with a Skylake i7 or maybe even wait for Kabylake.
Can't wait.
Can't compute.
