TweakTown teases MSI GTX1080Ti 4K out of the box performance

[YongKang]

Anthony from TweakTown has just released a glimpse of MSI Lightning Z 4K out of the box performance on TweakTown FB page.

He benchmarked: 

Unigine Heaven

Rise of The Tomb Raider

Far Cry Primal

Shadow of Mordor

Metro Last Light

 

As you can see, the card hit 60+ fps in all of the 4 games tested at the highest preset. That means 4K 60FPS gaming might be finally possible with a single card. If we keep going at this rate, maybe we can achieve the same performance with Volta GTX 1170 (or whatever they name it) at 300-400 USD.

 

and of course, here's some GPU porn while you wait for his full review.

Hmm most 1080 Ti performs similar, I am interested more in noise and temps and pricing.

He'll detail them in his full review. It should be up soon.

The problem with Tweaktown is they rarely do those, look at a Strix 1080 Ti review for example

Anthony detailed some of it in his final thoughts.  He even used it to mine LOL!

ASUS has crafted a card that doesn't run hot at all under gaming conditions, definitely not as hot as rendering or cryptocurrency mining on the card, throwing it into overdrive and heating it up beyond normal use. Even then, the ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti doesn't reach above 70-75C or so, and with a few tweaks, I could get it under 70C under full, above normal load with cryptocurrency mining.

 

That was in his final thoughts in his review of ASUS Strix GTX1080

Yeah but I want detailed review like what Guru3d did with clock speed and noise level too. 

[ARikozuM]

Great! Time to build another scaffold for another triple-slot card... 

[goodtofufriday]

Are we sure this isn't a strix?

For this review, he'll make sure detail the overclocking part. I'm not too sure about the noise part since he doesn't have a sound meter.

Holy fuck..... I need a bunch of money right now

Nope, it's the lightning Z haha.

Companies release new GPUs all the time, what makes this especially news worthy?

[LooneyJuice]

I can't help but feel pretty meh about this. It's pretty run of the mil 1080ti performance, at a pretty beefy premium. Not to mention, if a card right now is currently barely able to hold its own at 4K high/ultra, that means some pretty quick obsolescence if your staple is AAA titles. I'm still one of those who doesn't quite get it. Now, hyping up above 60hz refresh rates is another thing entirely. But I really can't understand the 4K craze especially when it comes to regular-sized PC monitors at regular viewing angles.

no clue, the lightning is usually one of the fastest models available though, not that it matters.

Nothing at all. It would have been more interesting with 1440 numbers.

In all honesty, it's been awhile since we've seen a lightning card.

[Stefan1024]

They write 1080 and 4k onto the box. But can you also use it for 1440p?

A 1070 can run doom at 4k60 nightmare so a 1080ti should handle most games. "ultra" settings tend to increase visuals by a tiny amount with a significant performance impact compared to "high". 4k high > 1440p ultra imo

Well, the 4K craze is not feasible for the mainstream consumers at the moment but this gives us a pretty good look at how the market will become in the next 2-4 years.

you must be confused, gtx 1080ti is 1080 interlaced only. /s

Yes the former is true, but then you're heading into the old conundrum of "did I pay 700-800 bucks to turn detail settings down in 2 years or less?". It's a 1st world problem for sure, but there will be cases in the very near future where the 1070, and even the 1080ti will have to suffer significant hits to visual fidelity to maintain a 4K 60fps standard. 1440p is more realistic on account of the non-linear (and pretty big difference) in performance. 1440p is ~3.6 million pixels whereas 4k is about 8.3, that's pretty massive.

I'm not quite sure about that. I mean, it's a lovely buzzword and all, and manufacturers are pushing it harder than constipation, but it's still far from conquering the market. Not to mention that I feel there are lots of users who can definitely tell and measure the disproportionate hit to performance at 4K, even as opposed to 1440p. This benchmark, like others, merely covers 1080ti 4K performance as a whole, nothing more, nothing less. 1440p metrics I find are way more pertinent, but again, there isn't anything really groundbreaking about these particular numbers, that's the point.

Of course, as a mainstream user, you'll care about the 1440P performance. There's nothing wrong with this and trust me 1440P will stick with us for a long time. Yet, with what we've seen at Computex ( that godly 4K 144Hz g-sync panel), it won't be long before we see 4K 240Hz or even 8K (they'll be expensive at first but that's how the market works.) and we'll need the GPU power to push that frames + pixels. For the lack of interest in 4K in the moment, I definitely understand but you can't say you're not excited with the thought of what kind of new frontier we'll be at, in a few years.

I could use the last statement at any point in time though regarding hardware advancements. I'm not trying to be snarky, but I got the impression that this was posted as an epiphany regarding 4K gaming, when you could have said so about essentially every 1080ti post review. GPU power advancements are always lovely, and everyone has the right to oogle new hardware and marvel at its capabilities, but there wasn't a large leap in this particular instance.

Them minimums doe....

 

i'll wait until the next generation of cards if I want 4k
