Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 announced - tech
(madmax) 10:10 AM CEST - May,07 2016 - Post a comment / read (10)
At a special event today, Nvidia announced their new flagship graphics card: the GeForce GTX 1080. The card uses a new Pascal GPU built on a 16nm FinFET process, as well as GDDR5X memory from Micron. Nvidia says they spent several billions of dollars developing Pascal, and the result is a massive GPU capable of powering today and tomorrow's games at ultra quality settings. It's also energy efficient thanks to improvements in the way Nvidia delivers power to the GPU, making Pascal the company's most efficient architecture yet.

According to Nvidia, the GTX 1080 is "a whole lot" faster than the Titan X, and faster than two GTX 980s in SLI, while consuming a lot less power. The chart below sees the GTX 1080 consume around 180W of power, compared to the 165W TDP of the GTX 980, with performance around 30% faster than the Titan X. An on-stage demo of the GTX 1080 had the card's core running at 2.1 GHz air cooled, with a temperature of less than 70°C. While these aren't the stock clock speeds for the 1080, it shows just how overclocking friendly this card will be. The stock clock speeds for the GTX 1080 are 1607 MHz with a boost of 1733 MHz, on 2,560 CUDA cores. This suggests the card is using a GP104 core rather than the full GP100 GPU used on the Tesla P100, which comes partially-disabled with 3,584 CUDA cores.

The GTX 1080 will retail for $599 in its basic edition, and $699 for "Founder's Edition", although it's not completely clear what benefits the Founder's Edition will bring. The card will be available worldwide from May 27th. There will also be a GTX 1070 available for $379 ($449 for the Founder's Edition), which Nvidia says is faster than a GTX Titan X, packing 6.5 TFLOPs of performance and 8 GB of GDDR5 memory. The GTX 1070 will be available from June 10th.

4k at 120hz... finally

shame intel is being so shitty with there new cpu line up its total crap, still pushing 4core cpu's as mainstream, maybe 5years ago that was alright, should able to get 6-8core with ht at decent price now, instead anything above 2-4cores for intel is major ripp off.

imagine if amd/nvidia was so fucking stingy with gfx card improvements every release cycle, and wasn't increasing the number of the gpu cores by the 100's every release.. no one would bother upgrading.. yet intel think everything should keep paying for barely 10% improvements. Pathetic they should start bundling more cores and increase the die size area...its not like they aren't fucking everyone with shitty new mobo respecs every release so they could certainly make those changes... but then they rather just ripoff people instead, and they wonder why less desktop users upgrade their cpu's

I don't upgrade my cpu because it's no where near the bottleneck as quickly as the GPU gets with game development.

This is why I'm still rocking an AMD 6970 in my gaming rig and squeezing the very last out of that one - it would have been stupid to get a 980 knowing Pascal was around the corner.

Tom(01:41 AM CEST - May,08 2016 )
Intel, nVidia and AMD have been ripping people off for a long time. But will anything change? Nope and that's why more and more go to console. Intel may be bad but nVidia is the worst.

The idiots are going to release new graphics cards in the heart of the summer. I will be at my cottage by then.

Noone's upgrading CPUs nowadays - that's why Intel's sales are dropping.
I don't think they realized that.
They did drop the ball on doubling the computing power every two years long ago...
So I dropped the ball on upgrading my CPU as well.
And probably the need to upgrade PCs are the reason why people thing that the PC market is stagnating.
People buy a new video card now every 2-3 years instead of a PC.

They never promised that, unless you mean the common misinterpretation of Moores law?

Until developers get better at splitting work up, there's not a lot of point of getting more cores. It is ridiculous though, considering that their Xeon line is up to 22 cores + HT now (although those are obviously not cheap!)

Considering who posted it, you can count on the misinterpretation.

You are absolutely right, programmers need to code better to utilize the power in the hardware available. Games that use more CPU than GPU for a mild example. Poorly imagined. Everyone knows especially for games, most games are written like shit/bloated. It's already been known for sometime that adding more cores is not beneficial, something since proven that more CPU/cores does not scale/= faster. Unless you've been living under a rock.
