1080 Questions

[VoyexTech]

I have some questions about the new 1080. My first question is will this build work without a bottleneck or will it even work?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bHzFJx

 

Also what kind of power hook up does it use? Single 8 pin?

 

Will it really be twice as powerful as the Titan X? 

 

Is the card going to be priced at $599? I know the founders edition should be $699 but could I find cards out there by December that are $599 or less hut still a decent cooler? 

[KSores]

It is only 2x8GB titan x in vr

25% better in other things

And your build will be fine

[Dietrichw]

That will work

The reference only has one 8 pin

No, it will not be twice as fast in games. it will be the usual ~15% increase over the fastest previous gpu.

Yeah it'll work. The 4690k doesn't even bottleneck the 980 Ti.

Wil the price be what I expected and would there possibly be a sale around christmas?

2x Titan performance in VR only, gaming in generall about 20% faster. 1x 8 Pin for founders aka "reference". Aftermarket cards should be out within 3 months. Pricing will be around your range, but only time can tell. I don´t see your CPU as a bottleneck, depending on your resolution.

Hi, to your first question, it should be completely fine. The only time a gpu will bottleneck is when a really old cpu is used. I am not sure what power hook it uses. Nvidia stated that their founders edition is about as powerful as 2 980s (not ti) in sli.

You should be fine most of the time. I would considering buying a Z97 board to overlock, but it's not necessary.

If I recall yes.

We can't till if Nvidia are honest or not. Wait for the benchmarks

Yes, the board partners (EVGA, ASUS, MSI, etc.) will have the prices starting from $599, and by December it's highly likely that you will find such cards at 599.

1080p as my res

and a very important thing people forget to mention, it will only be faster in VR if the Nvidia specific features are implemented into the game.

We all know this is not gonna happen on a wide basis so dont count this as a feature, history shows that all this shit that is closed source never really got arround, see physx as an example here.

No problem there then

I would consider a monitor update, the 1080 is seriously overkill for 1080p (as much as the name suggests otherwise). Heck, get a 1070 and upgrade your monitor if you can't get the 1080 and a new monitor.

[VoyexTech]

Won't DX12 be putting more load on the CPU vs the GPU. So could that be an issue?

[VoyexTech]

Also could I get 4 years of gaming out of this card?

No it won't, DX12 should actually cut the load from the CPU by cutting overheads.

Oh ok thank for the info

No I just got the monitor and I want a good 4 years of gaming off the card so I want to stay with 1080p 144hz until later

If it's a high refresh rate monitor then I guess it would be fine.

How do you know?

They posted a chart which had performance of tomb raider and witcher 3 compared to a 980. 1080 was about 1.5x faster than a 980. We already know how much faster a 980ti is over a 980 so the usual performance increase can be easily estimated going from the ti card to next gen XX80 card.

Will people like LTT and others relate benchmarks soon It seems they have the 1080 or are they not allowed to say that yet?

as by JayzTwoCents there is a NDA and a time frame that they can't talk about certain things

But is performance in the NDA?
