GTX1080 @ 180W real gaming performance (i.e. DOOM):

= 1.19 x Titan @ 245W

= 1.69 x GTX980 @ 165W

= 2 x GTX970 @ 145W

Hey Steve, where did you get this data?  And is that a Titan or Titan X?

 

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob,

 

I used the graph in the OP image "A new king" to get the comparison into numbers. I assumed that the typical game performance would be based on DOOM or a similar tech to that.

 

I'm looking forward to your tests with the new cards.

This will be good, it will knock the socks off my GTX 780.

As P3D is still about 70% cpu dependent, a 20% more performance probably would mean about 10% in P3D compared to a Titan X....

 

Surely cheaper than a Titan X but for me no reason to sell mine...

 

 

I saved up when I had a good job for a nice Titan on their first release, and now I am worried I couldn't sell it for 500 used to cover the cost of the new cards.

 

Top of the line hardware is rarely a good investment, financially-speaking. You just have to accept a brutal depreciation curve.

 

Cheers!

Need that boost to performance to counter framerate hits in clouds.

They just announced yesterday the price for the founders edition here in France 789EUR :mad:

Using current spot EURUSD it equals to 885USD

 

Anyone up for a forward shipping.

So the real truth comes out not much cheaper than a Titan X - was looking way way better as half the cost of a Titan X for those who want to get into sli - bumber 

From Guru3D's review of the 1080 (https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-review,1.html), at best it gave about a 40% improvement of frame rates but was generally less than this, particularly so at the higher resolutions. Hardly "twice as fast" as the Titan X, if in-game performance is what that meant. That said, the review was of the reference model which will almost certainly be tweaked by different manufacturers to give better performance.

What's the "founders edition"??   Price says $599/$699 in that article?

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

EDIT: oh, the 1080 goes down to 256bit memory bus??  Why the downgrade ... might explain why it's not so great at higher resolutions.

Better compression techniques, much faster RAM = higher bandwidth.

 

Not so great at higher resolutions? It's the fastest on earth and by a great margin!

It offers a nice boost coming from the GTX 980 and is even a good notch faster compared to the 980 Ti and Titan X. However, if you have such a 980/980 Ti/Titan X you probably are not going to upgrade

 

Pretty much what I thought - nothing to write home about if you have a Titan X - not enough bang for the buck for me anyway 

Uses a fair bit less power is the main thing, about the same as the 980 but a fair bit less than the Titans for similar perhaps better performance. Less stress on the PSU and cooling system, culd be handy if you don't live near a glacier.

My new build is a glacier but yes I was thinking the same thing Steve - my gpu never goes above 22 degrees but you know I have overkill cooling on it   :wink:
