I went from a 670 to a 970 and thought that was a huge upgrade, so yes, it will be huge not only for the raw performance but the huge memory increase as well.

Honoured respect to the great and glorious 8800GTX.. Even Nvidia understands truly what a god the 8800GTX was and how it would be absolute heresy to release a card with a similar name. Honestly I have no idea really.
I am still on a GTX 670 here paired with an i5 2500k. Think it is time to start the upgrade cycle again. This year I will treat myself to a brand spanking new 1070 and then next year I will take a look at what Intel are offering cpu wise.
I guess very close to 980 performance.
I expect an analogue gtx580/gtx660 situation where the cards would roughly perform the same.
The only problem is that the 1070 seems just too good.

You mean 'Vega'. Volta is NVIDIA's next-gen arch.
SLI is almost never a good plan, especially not if there is a single GPU (1080) that will give you similar performance far more reliably and in all games.
According to all rumours AMD doesn't have anything to announce in the 1080/1070 performance tier.

Truth. And that is assuming that SLI is even working.....

But SLI means to upgrade two GPUs at the same time!
Double the GPU, double the upgrade fun!

Twice the perf of a Titan X did I hear him say?

That Zotac page (linked here, since Videocardz didn't link their source) sure gives us no extra information!
Curious to see what differences there actually are between the manufacturers for the Founders Edition.

There was but it was for laptop GPUs.
Basically because of the introduction of Maxwell 2, I suppose the leap was substantial enough beyond Kepler to jump straight to 900 nomenclature for the Desktop line.

You've got 90 days from date of purchase to step up to another card. Once you're through the queue you'll pay the difference between the two cards plus shipping, ship them your card, then they'll ship you the 1080. Just built a new rig with a 980ti last month and it's what I'm planning to do, assuming decent gains noted in independent benchmarks.

On a sidenote - they are giving backplate this time.

That's my concern ... I think the time is coming to change my processor
It was in reference to VR rendering with multi-projection. Obviously a PR move to pick that scenario, but not an impossible ballpark number to achieve in that context.

How long do nVidia take to announce / release a Ti variant? I'm tempted by the 1080 but would prefer to wait for the Ti. Problem is my 780Ti with only 3GB isn't going to cope with VRAM hungry games coming out.
What people really need to realize is that HBM2 by itself won't make for a faster GPU. What it does is allow you to keep a faster GPU fed, but you still need to build that GPU.
It makes it possible to basically disregard bandwidth concerns when speculating about future Titan/"1080ti" performance, but that performance still has to come from the GPU.

Is there any info about retail boxes?
I could make the jump to 1080 only if the box is actually 38% bigger too.

Nah it's all about the Gigabyte G1.

While true -I don't understand the obsession here for HBM2 regarding performance- it also opens a new front regarding form factor. Smaller PCB and lower power consumption is always welcome. And I wonder if it should bring longer lifespan, since most GPUs die from memory failing on a way too crowded PCB.

I'm in the same boat. I expect that there will be a price drop on the 1080 when or shortly after 1080 ti launches (going by past trends). So you will take a bit of a hit. There will be a smaller hit on the 1070, so I'm leaning that way because I definitely want the 1080ti in the long term, but I can't wait.
I think the overclocked 2x00k series should keep it fed in most scenarios without a significant performance hit.
I too doubt that it will be clearly 2x the Titan X in every scenario or on average. In VR scenarios, probably yes, in non-VR, I'm going to guess closer to 1.5 - 1.8x. Overclocked to overclocked, maybe 1.7x - 2x.
Because of the jump to HBM2 (from GDDR5), I think the jump will be most prominent in 4k+ scenarios and VR. At 1080p and 1440p, I wonder. Also, going forward, there will be support for higher bit-depth / HDR, which is almost like a resolution increase in terms of memory bandwidth, but I'm not sure when games start supporting that.
There wasn't a lot of coverage of the fact that it support HDMI 2.0b and DP 1.4, both of which support 4K @ 120hz. That's big (no pun intended) - I love my 1440p 144hz monitor, and have been holding off on a 4K display until they support 120hz at least, so that should be coming soon as well (maybe by next year).
That is a big screw-up by AMD. Nvidia will eat their lunch...again.

Too big of a card. I hope the 1070 comes in a mini version.

A. Power B. Cost C. Higher bandwidth GDDR5x D. Better memory efficiency than AMD

Because they don't need to use brute force approach
256bit 10Ghz GDDR5X is already almost matching 512bit 6Ghz memory and Nvidia uses compression technique that makes their bandwidth around 30% more efficient (in Maxwell we don't know how much better Pascal will be)

I'm going from a 780 to a 1080Ti.
I believe that's going to be one hell of a performance boost.
4k Here I come....................need a 4k monitor though.
Also have a 780
Thats what I plan on doing as well if I am strong enough for the next 10months or so. These are going to be trying times.
1070 is supposedly 150W TDP, only 5W more than 970, so a mini version shouldn't be a problem in terms of cooling.
I think the 8GB of GDDR5 will be a bigger problem, need space on the PCB to fit it all.
Unless there's higher density chips now?

As long as the 1080 has a version that's under 27cm long (like the MSI 2 fan 980ti) I'm very interested.

Yes, they're 8Gb ones now. It should be the same amount of chips as a 970.

I'll upgrade my 980ti to a 1080ti as long as MSI or EVGA release a watercooled version.
Man what a time to be alive, lol.
That 1070 is going to sell like hotcakes.

Both cards are looking awesome, just sucks yet again with Nvidia having such a huge price gap between the 1070 and 1080 yet again like the 970 and 980.
