nVidia GTX 1080 Board Pictured

[Paragon_X]

According to eTeknix this is the board of the GTX 1080 and it appears to have GDDR5X

Quote

By using different memory, Nvidia will be able to position the GTX 1080 with a more flagship feel and likely a more flagship like price. It also suggests that either Nvidia is willing to tolerate slow supply for launch, or GDDR5X has been coming along faster than we have expected.

 

Quote

With the GP104-400 labelling, it pretty confirms earlier rumours about how GP104 would be split up into different SKUs. It also lends support to the fact that GP104 will come in 3 SKUs as well, with a GTX 1060Ti to follow a month or so after the 1070 and 1080. The other major confirmation comes from the memory side. While it was expected for the GTX 1070 to come with GDDR5, the GTX 1080 uses GDDR5X

And so the battlefield is slowly unfolding!

Hype hype hype!

 

Though it's the 1070 I'm really interested in. I've got my eye on one of those, but if it's significantly more expensive than a 970 I'll go with that instead.

I doubt it Flagship price for nvidia has always been  in the 700s

[Zeinone]

Aw yiss, waiting for the rumored 1080 ti 8gb if I'm not mistaken :3, R.I.P. savings.

Means literally nothing  especially when some people just spam.

[DildorTheDecent]

More excited about the aftermarket versions.

 

Notably the EVGA GTX 1080 Classified, ASUS GTX 1080 Matrix Platinum and the MSI GTX 1080 Lighting why not. 

 

Or skip those entirely and wait for the GTX 1080Ti if it's going that route.

1080 ti wont be coming anytime soon, i bet it'll take another year

because nvidia wants people to jump from 980 ti -> 1080 -> 1080ti

780 launched at $650 and actually sold at that price until the 780 ti launched.

according to Wikipedia on Release the 780 was 649$

the 980 is true it was 550$ but those prices are for reference models

[captain cactus]

So why call it the 1080? A lot of uninformed people will now go "oh, apparently it's only good for 1080p since it's in the name, I guess I'll skip this card and look further" only to find either 980s on sale or cards from the red team.

I don't think we technically know that it'll be 10xx yet. Up until launch week we all thought that amd was going with 8xxx for their (non-mobile) graphics cards, instead they went with r9 & r7 2xx.

i cant even clench my butt tight enough for the prices on 900/300 series cards once polaris/pascal comes out

it will be a steal

You're right, I should've looked that up before posting it. Could've sworn the last so many -80's were all $500-$550.  I always go for the reference cards, but usually never buy close to the initial release.

You're right with the 980, 680, 580, and 480. The 780 dropped to $500 as soon as the 780ti came out. Very easy mistake to make. I only know because I grabbed a 780 after they dropped to $500 and the r9 290 was still at $650-$700 due to mining.
