We review the all-new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 (Founders Edition). The new 8 GB beast based on the Pascal architecture and 16 nm FinFET has arrived. It's cool, it's silent and it rocks hard when it comes to sheer performance.

GTX 1080 OC results
base clocks reported, so add the difference in baseclocks to the stock boost and you'll get effective boost OC

Not bad, 20-25% @1440p, just need to wait for the descent priced versions now, $699 is to much.
I miss some SLI comparison (found for 970 SLI in other review) and none the less, if the 1080 has any advantage for 3DVision.

Thanks for the review as always Hilbert, a good read.
Certainly a step up tech wise - I do think the pricing is getting a little silly at this point though, especially with the "Founders Edition".
I feel AIB cards will be something to watch out for - hopefully even better.
Honestly unless you're willing to pay a huge premium for extra performance, 980Ti owners don't have a major reason to buy this one
I'm honestly tempted, being a sucker for new releases, and AMD's new releases could further lower the price of the Ti which I'd like to resell!), buuuuut on this occasion I won't be making that decision until AIBs at least. Even then, I'm not sure. - I need someone like you to stop me spending money pointlessly

Great card and about +20fps ref vs ref @ 1440p in most games, not bad at all.
But I think this chip can do better and will therefore wait for 3rd party coolers.
Still wish we knew when they'll arrive.

GTX 1080 OC results
Thanks for those. Seems to put it in more perspective for OC'd 980Ti's etc
Not as huge as it initially looks - but still very impressive.
For those definitely getting the 1080 series, do yourself a favour and wait for AIB's!

GTX 1080 is surely one hell of a card. I will wait for the Big Pascal/Ti

Compare 980ti reference overclocking to 980ti custom board overclocking
difference wasn't that huge, mainly limitation is temperature and power
same here I imagine,
maybe 2200-2300mhz is possible on water, but i don't expect it to be as insane as people expect

And again an aluminum heatsink that in reality is zinc so the fins can be soldered to the vapor chamber...
If it wasn't for this and the price, as always with nvidia, this would be an excellent product.

GP104 is a beast!
Performs better than I thought it would against GM200. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade for anyone below a 980Ti. I can't wait for the GeForce GP100 now
Thanks for the review Hilbert.
Looking forward to the AIB reviews and their overclock results!

It appears 1070 will have 1920 cores, so 5 SMs disabled

True. My card's were once reference before I put the Hybrid cooler on. (and still very overclockable!).
Now to find a method to force myself to wait for Big Pascal....hmmm

Thanks for the effort!
Great card. I think Ti version will be able to run all games at 4K. I'll get 1070. But need a review and the price.

Looks nice but, just like you said in the article, 980 Ti owners are not likely to upgrade. (I being one of those and someone who does not really game on his computer more than once a week if even that anymore, it just is not worth it.) I do game at 4k and will not go down but that is fine, it is not worth going down for the money I spent.
I can fully understand that because with two of those, they are a beast. However, I tried using 2 x XFX R9 390's which only cost a few bucks more than the 980 Ti I have but, they ran too hot for the case I was using. (Fractal Design Define r3.) I am guessing you have a better case or perhaps, even water cooling?

picked up crossfire 290s for 380 USD and not regretting it at all.

Only with that price tag. Canadians will be paying $900 after taxes, which is insane for a high-end, non enthusiast level GPU. In 5 months it will lose the performance crown.
I'm almost positive big Pascal will be faster than Vega, but I won't be buying GP102/100.

Versus the media hype it is..
A: 12 percent oc gain going to 2ghz, 2.1 not so stable
B: The price vs performance
C: So much for that 61 temp vs 80+
I never said it is a bad card , it is great but vs all the media hype it is a bit of a letdown

Impressive card. amazing how good power consumption is vs performance.
AMD must really step up now or they will be picking up soap all year
I wont get one of course, since i wont buy gpu's beyond €500 anymore

No it's not, it looks to be a fantastic card. Anyone who buys the FE deserves a slap though. Price is too high regardless. AMD needs a counter now, and I'm not talking about some energy sipping midrange yawnfest.

Well it should be known that the 1070 will NOT be faster than an overclocked 980 Ti except in a few titles.

Fantastic work HH, as usual.
One question though: how did you test DOOM ? Is there a demo file we can download somewhere or is this taken from a gameplay session or ... ?
