maybe they are testing a different area? hardware.fr is very reputable
They're not the only ones. Somebody mentioned they correlate with digital Foundry's results.
I have a gigabyte 980 ti g1. What is the seller? Used? If so ask how well it OCs.
Asus tends to clock well, anyone else have input? The directcu 3 fan model tends to get hot though iirc.
Shits new to me, I've been doing some research and it seems true that NVIDIA fucks up old architectures, I was seriously thinking about buying a 980ti, but I'll wait and buy a 1070.
Hitman has a benchmark mode.
This^^^
There is no 4k60 cards on the market, or a monitor market that is really geared to gamers at this resolution as of yet, for this exact reason.
What excites me about the 1080 and whatever AMD releases as a response this October (if rumours are true) is that these cards look INCREDIBLE for 3440x1440 ultrawide based on the results I'm seeing...
AHHHH SILKY SMOOTH WIDENESS
It's gon' be a good year for PC upgrades...
No guarantee, but I think amd has hbm2 priority as they helped develop it.

doesnt mean both sites have to be using it
Unless you are a competitive gamer and need insane good input lag, there are plenty of high quality 4k monitors or 4:4:4 4k 40" tvs that are wider than any ultrawide, for less money.

I already posted TPU which is DX11 showing the 1080 beating the Fury X by 10+ fps. Here's Guru3D doing DX12, and the 1080 wins out by 12 fps. Hothardware puts it about 8 fps above the Fury X. It's also worth noting Hitman tends to be a bit more AMD friendly than other modern titles.

I see, this is why you can buy the Nvidia Tesla P100 with HBM2 right now if you happen to have $130,000 laying around for the DGX-1. Dat AMD priority amirite
On a related note, I haven't played hitman, is it worth picking up in your opinion?

Yo, it's only 129k, don't mislead people
Oh damn, I got called out D:
:3
edit:
I'm actually curious, it looks like there are 2 USB 3.0 ports on the DGX-1, what the hell are those even used for lol

Lol you guys complaining about updating your 980 cards. I have a 560ti.
However, the p100 doesn't speak to access to larger volumes of hbm2, but yeah probably unlikely that amd really does have some sort of access to lots of hbm2 that nvidia doesn't, but they probably should have wrote some damn contacts providing exclusive access for a certain amount of time given their investment.
Yeah. Looking at the Testbench hardware there is definitely a correlation between core count and clockspeed. It certainly explains the variance seen here.

As someone else pointed out.
PCPer said:
Just because it's beating the 980Ti doesn't mean the VRam limit isn't effecting it. You should know that.
VR? Lol maybe for deep vr learning

I suspect such contracts would only have been possible if AMD could guarantee purchases of some extremely large volume of HBM2 from Hynix. This is not possible since graphics cards aren't exactly a huge volume market. Besides, AMD and Hynix pursued standardization of HBM with JEDEC, it became such a thing in 2010 and once it's a JEDEC standard nobody has exclusivity over it anyways.
Can I run the prototype VRMMO Sword Art Online on my DGX-1? That would be an instant buy for me!

How cheap? How used?
Microcenter bruh. They've been having open box 980 tis for under 400. Once their in liquidation mode I bet they'll have new ones for 300ish. I got a brand new 290x from microcenter for $250 2 years ago.
Good call.
You can see the Pascals doing much better in Ashes and just DX12 in general.
Edit: sorry nvm i read wrong
Well, how large is large? A million orders x however many chips per card? If I was running amd I would have signed that shit immediately if there was any possibility of that being a reality. I would have mortgaged the damn company to keep nvidia away, with language like "for at least 18 months after the release of a new amd consumer graphics card featuring hbm2." Might get into anti-trust issues though, which is laughable given nvidias market share, but I'm sure nvidia would have sued if something like that happened, but I would hope amd has good lawyers, and could say to a judge, allowing nvidia to win on this shit is supporting a fucking monopoly, judge would hopefully see reason.
Get a 21:9 monitor. Way more impressive than 4K as someone with both
Do you have a 40" 4:4:4 4k monitor? Much better for general use and media outside of games, and also games imo. And cheaper than a 34" ultrawide.

Me too. Why didn't you show all the results?
Maybe because it shows a 20% advantage for the 1080 while the others show only a 12-16%?
Compared to the 40% plus advantage in other games on the same site this is significant. Don't you think?
Damn Nice. No Micro Centers near me

40" 4K? I assume that'd be roughly the same DPI as a 34" 21:9 1440p, no? Hard to beat the 21:9 shape once you own one, tbqh. It's just too good.

They have a Web Store, less likely to get lucky, but ya never know. Check it here and there.

I'm disappointed and excited at the same time; I love the progression of tech but I was so sure that this gen would be another dud and that my 980 ti was a worthwhile purchase......lol at my stupidity and hubris. Now the question is, since I'm going to wait for the inevitable 1080ti, how much will my 980 ti sell for whenever I do sell it?
Dpi is roughly the same, but the screen is bigger. My friend has a Dell 34 ultrawide and im like, meh.

From my experience they only had those 1 day under $400 for open box and never again since. They don't have the new ones at $499 anymore either. Now they are back to regular price.

I imagine 40" will do that, yes.
Personally, I need more of this 21:9 format. I'll take a 40" version of it, sure.

Shit in modern dx11 games and nonexistent in all but 1 dx12 game(which is a microstutter bonanza so its useless anyway)
My twin Cities store had multiple open box evga and msi under 400 open box. But yeah now the new ones are back up to reg price.
It's impossible to say, you can get around $400 for it now. When the 1080 Ti releases? No idea, could be worth $200 or less by then.

Depends on what you sell your 970 for.
Dreams-Visions
Member
I'd say it somewhat depends on what resolution you're gaming at. It seems like the 1070 will be the final destination for 1080p/60.

Christ, woe is my wallet. Wonder if it'd technically be smarter to just sell the 980 ti now to mitigate the costs of an upgrade to the 1080 and then just sell the 1080 for the ti when it comes out. I don't know, Ill have to think on it. Ill also have to consider how hard my wife can hit when weighing the consequences of said decisions as well......

Maybe I need to switch to a single card path so I can upgrade every single time
I'm going to get washed on these 980tis

Pretty much.
It is not out of the realm of possibility that AMD has something prepped for October with HBM2 involved. Like the guy said, no guarantee...but it's not some impossible, unimaginable scenario. Now, as for a large quantity...well, that's another story.

so when is the 1080 going to be available for purchase?
