Interesting fast sync stuff.
Exactly how I feel about it. Really crossing my fingers for the ti to be beast. Id really like to go single card for 4k 60 fps.I'm feeling like the Geforce 1080 is a half measure. Too much for 1080p not enough for 4k. Seems to be great if you want to do 1440p. But let's be real, 1440p is like so year 2014.
I'm waiting for the 1070 myself but damn this is looking good.
Single GPU 4K at 60fps for almost all games will be here way sooner than expected.
Hell, you can already do that with this card if you dial down settings.
What a lovely day.

This is basically my sentiment right now as well.I'm waiting for the 1070 myself but damn this is looking good.

No.Did Nvidia just skip two console generations?
Does "Fast Sync" require a G-sync monitor?
Horrible sli support lol.I thought this video from Digital Foundry was interesting:
DirectX11 vs Direct12 performance
What is DX12 supposed to bring exactly, aside from forcing us to update to Windows 10 and beyond?
Probably also used to gather data.The "Enthusiast Key" is a weird way to unlock 3 & 4 way SLI with the GTX1080.
Powerlimit from what I've gathered. Second 8pin should allow for more stable and higher overclocks.Are there thermal issues with the card?
No, 789€ for reference card, no.I've been locked down in our serverroom for the better part of the day and missed all the hoo-haa. Are the cards available for pre-order anywhere yet? how does the pricing look? Any info on Custom Cards?
Looking at this makes me think that I'm better off upgrading my CPU (including RAM, Mainboard) for now and then go for a 1080Ti later.
No. $699. LittleI've been locked down in our serverroom for the better part of the day and missed all the hoo-haa. Are the cards available for pre-order anywhere yet? how does the pricing look? Any info on Custom Cards?
Is it anywhere near as good as Gsync?
If it is, I'm pulling the trigger on a non-gsync 21:9 monitor TODAY!
Yup, pretty much. Check this video, they managed to go to about 2GHz with an aftermarket cooler. How Nvidia claimed to reach the same clock at 67°C at the reveal event remains a mysteryAm I seing this right, all these benchmarks are basically base clock because the FE can't maintain the boost because of heat issues?
So...let's assume 3rd party cards solve this problem and can even go further, we should see another pretty signifcant jump in performance right?
Got offered 500 euros for one of my 980ti. Should I sell?
I'm currently repeating that over and over and over again in the PC systembuild thread. The amount of people wanting to buy a 1070/1080 but holding on to their 2500ks is insane. We should really rename it to: You better buy an i5 6600 for your 1070.

Yeah, I think that picture would look different with a 4.4 GHz 2500k (and those routinely get there on air).What clock speed is that 2500k in those benchmarks? If we're looking at a base clock 2500k versus a pretty heavily OCd 6700k that comparison seems a little pointless?

I need some advice. should I keep my two 1450mhz zotac 980 ti's or sell them NOW to minimize resale loss ? I'm not shooting for 4k yet. I'm happy with ultrawide 1440p, but not every title allows me to max the game out at a steady 60fps at that resolution. will a 1080 allow me to do that ?

OP, 4Gamer is Japanese.
Reviews are looking good. I'm fully prepared to pony up for a 1080 if I can get one at launch. Very excited to upgrade from my 970.
So it's not as much a problem of the reference cooler as it's an issue of insufficient power supply over the one 8-pin connector which is limiting the OC potential of Fail Edition.
Do you have more than one? If so, then definitely yes.
That's not bad. This way it's just +300 for a reference 1080.

If you wait 8 months you better wait 12 and pick up the 1180. Buy now or wait until Volta. Unless you have something similar to the 1080 (980ti sli), in that case, it might be not worth it for now.
Hindsight is 20/20Everyone is in awe of your brilliant brilliance. What's most amazing to me is your ability to predict that a new piece of technology is better than an old piece of technology. Based on that moment of greatness everyone, even people who had nothing to do with your imagined slights must pay their respects.
Nvidia Confirms GTX 1070 Specs -1920 CUDA Cores & 1.6Ghz Boost Clock At 150W

Take it for what you will

Hmm, interesting.It's almost triple buffering.
If you have vsync on, the pipeline of the GPU is back-pressured all the way back to the game engine, essentially the display is telling the game engine to slow down since only one frame can be generated for each display refresh period. As we know this eliminated stuttering but can cause higher latency.
When vsync is off the pipeline ignores display refresh rate and just pumps out frames as fast as possible. As we know this is less latency but causes screen tearing.
Normally for games the latency we talked about isn't an issue. But as more and more insane people have access to CS:GO and decide they want to play it at >100FPS it causes a problem. Do you hamper themselves with high latency? Or do you indure screen tearing.
Well look no further one and all since Nvidia has come to save the day. But before that, lets talk about the pipeline I was talking about earlier.
When a game is rendered its pipeline goes from
game engine -> driver (e.g.directx) -> GPU -> buffer(s) -> display
With the new GTX 1080 however they have decoupled the front end of the render pipeline from the backend display hardware. With this there is more ways to manipulate the display and fastsync is the first example of this. So now the pipeline has a slight seperation.
game engine -> driver (e.g.directx) -> GPU -> ||| -> buffer(s) -> display
So back to freesync. With this pipeline change we can allow the game engine to send all the frames is can develop to the GPU, then fastsync decides which of these frames to actually render. This is the best of both worlds since there is no back-pressure (hence low latency) and it also stops stuttering.
TL;DR
Vsync on tells game engine to slow down (higher latency and no stuttering)
Vsync off is lazy and just lets all frames through (lower latency and stuttering)
Fastsync allows the game engine to run as fast as possible and lets the GPU figure out which frame to output (low latency and no stuttering. )
