Ridiculous? I don't think you were watching when they said 2x the performance of Titan X

 

So: Dual cards with 750 watts TDP with slower clocks that costs $2000 VS. Single card with 180 watts TDP with 1.7 GHz clock yet you think prices are ridiculous? Wow. No offense, but maybe compare to other cards next time and look at the price-to-perf?

 

I myself might actually get the Founder's Edition if it's good, these prices are great for Canada ($775 without GST for non-collectors)

Performance in what? According to their game "benchmarks" on their site it is closer 1.66 times the performance of a single 980. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080

So how much would these cards be in Canada? Was hoping to get a 1080 but might have to get a 1070 instead because budget reasons.

GTX 1080: $773 w/o GST, $811 w/ GST

GTX 1070: $516 w/o GST, $542 w? GST

 

Pretty good prices

a 1080 for 600? and 1070 for 400?  i totally didn't expect the price to be so low. kinda expected the performance tho

I think the claimed performance gains are heavily skewed by the new technologies, it will outperform older cards in VR and multi-monitor gaming but I don't think the increase will be that high for single monitor gaming. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, I hope I'm wrong!

Were you watching the live stream? Sorry for rudeness or inaccuracy btw

So, you guys think this is going to put AMD out of business?

There is nothing to indicate that AMD is not also planning major performance gains. After all, AMD have been saying that this is the generation that they make a renewed impact in high performance gaming. And they also have a 2nm FinFET advantage over Nvidia, as well as possibly still-superior async compute.

 

Also, PC gaming has undergone several revolutionary changes recently, including more commonplace 21:9 gaming, 2k and 4k monitors, and virtual reality. All these things require far more power than previous generational gains could have made possible, and AMD will be taking all of this into consideration in their new GPU designs, just as Nvidia have.

 

Also, if AMD were to go out of business, Nvidia would probably charge a lot more, and deliver a lot less with each new generation. Nvidia's push is possibly in large part because AMD has been talking about how attractive their new offerings will be - whether that's from a performance-to-cost perspective, or from both a performance-to-cost and pure performance perspective.

I didn't see that part but I'm assuming he meant VR, not regular gaming which is what the majority of people will be doing.

GPU Engine Specs:

2560NVIDIA CUDA^® Cores

1607Base Clock (MHz)

1733Boost Clock (MHz)

Memory Specs:

10 GbpsMemory Speed

8 GB GDDR5XStandard Memory Config

256-bitMemory Interface Width

320Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)

 

so 2.1ghz shown was overclocked

I'm hoping AMD takes Nvidia's head start and uses that to configure their new GPUs to thier advantage and finally return as a good competitor not only in price but also in raw performance

[CostcoSamples]

I expected the price, but was blown away at the performance!  WIll wait for benchmarks to confirm, but sounds incredible!

Yeah, it's fast, but I don't see it being twice as fast as a Titan X.  I hope it's true, but I'm not banking on that much.

 

Either way, I'll be grabbing them.
