First GTX 1080 Review is HERE!

[Energycore]

Dammit, I had a really good post about why I think AIBs will take a while to release and it didn't get posted.

 

First off, it's a new process. Yields are going to be very low and this is why both Nvidia and AMD are releasing smaller chips first (AMD's chips are even smaller so they should be easier to mass produce but still will run into early process problems). That coupled with the higher price of the reference launch card suggests that Nvidia's having a hard time mass-producing these cards.

 

That's why I'm quite confident that we'll have to wait at least 4 weeks from launch to see AIB cards priced below $700.

Nah. I didn't like @Moonzy when he started because it was full-blown non-stop shitposting, but he's evened out, as far as I can tell. It was more of just a joke on how Moonzy piled up a million posts in a month

Considering @Moonzy's helped me troubleshoot quite a bit I don't see why not

You're implying that what I do isn't shitposting?

 

I'm flattered.

He may shitposts but he still genuinely helps people when they need it  (and who doesn't like to shitpost a little?)

50% of my posts are shitposts. I am proud. I want a medal. And a stripper.

That's my point, he does that now. At the beginning it was JUST shitposting and I was thinking he'd be banned. He actually helps people out now.

Do you care about the appearance and/or gender of the stripper?

 

And nah, I'd say around 30%

No don't post less D: your shitposts are welcome! I was just annoyed by it when you first started. You actually help people in addition to shitposting now.

 

Sorry for the sudden summon! I just don't like talking about people behind their backs.

 

What game?

Dual 980 OC is faster in firestrike system overall by 1000 points. It's even faster than 1080 OC.

I admit, the 980 SLI in synthetics are probably faster. I meant to clarify I was speaking in terms of gaming performance.

 

 

Judging by the LTT graph. Battlefront offers a 46% increase in dollar per frame when comparing the 1080 vs SLI 980s and 36% increase when using Crysis 3 as a benchmarks.

 

Let's be conservative and that's a 30% increase for the same money.

 

We can also look at the 980Ti vs 1080 graphs. Using a price point of $550 for the 980Ti and $600 for the 1080. We can do a bit of maths. I'm going to use LTT Crysis 3 benchmarks.

 

 

So the 1080:

 

$600/40 frames = $15 per frame.

 

The 980Ti:

 

$550/30 = $18.33 per frame.

 

That is a healthy 22% increase. I was also quite generous with the pricing of the 980Ti. Most of them I see are hovering around the $580-$620 range.

I think what you should do is calm those toasty tits and stop holding a grudge against @Moonzy

in terms of will I buy one, the answer is heck no. I could get another 980ti for cheaper and it will be considerably faster than a 1080. My posting was more about the people that currently have high end cards and whether or not they should upgrade.

That cup size is almost creepy in how specific it is.

 

What the hell, we're not even talking about hardware anymore.

 

I'll upgrade when Polaris is out since I can't afford GM204.

 

There, thread mostly re-railed.

It seems like 980 Ti owners would have to wait for Volta / Navi at least (or buy another 980 Ti for SLI).

 

Holy shit, typing on a keyboard is some actual forearm exercise.

I'd say that's very close-minded actually.

I feel sorry for you. It must be hard being blind. The 1080 is performing ~60% higher on average in the benchmarks reviewers are posting.

 

It must be hard being an AMD fanboy. Blind and bad at math...
