I read each line carefully hehe.. I haven't reached the benchmark yet!!!
Great writing and detailed article Hilbert! Thanks!
Can we get this 368.13 drivers?

So yeah that was the human equivalent of a DDoS ... at the peak the site had roughly 900% more traffic ... even front-end load-balancing on three servers could not cope with that effect.

Well-deserved, great review. Thanks Hilbert !
1080, the card that kills everygame on the market. But 980-Ti and titan-X already do that. Except for VR or 4K, i don't know what could require so much power.
1070 and his expected performance of titan-X/980-Ti will be the real deal!

I didn't care much about frametime and microstutter when I had 2x970s, even though I should have and it was likely just me not noticing.
Now with a single 970 I guess the OSD in AB shows a lower frametime value, but other than some GTAV I didn't play anything, and since the FPS is ****ty with just one 970 @1440p, I can't experience the "smoothness" anyway.
It will be a different story when I get my hands on a 1080 I hope.
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen one of those in years. lol

Whoops, thought this was the review thread
.
Nice to see frametimes are solid.

Theoretically, if you're an fps monster, then, the GTX1080 might give you a tiny tiny edge.
I would love to see the same graphs in comparision to GTX1070 aswell.
Cheers for the review and this one Hilbert!

Overload on guru3d? that what happens when there is no ASYNC
Great review HH as always, the 1080 seems to be a great card, but time will tell how it stand out, as i though it just maxwell on steroids, nvidia way to achieve best performance is via direct brute force rather than more helpful hardware features, tbh that is the easiest way.

So I take it that's the most impressive FCAT score you've ever encountered, Hilbert?
Any ideas how the new, adaptive vsync works (in practice)? Is it just for VR or does it give benefits to standard gaming?

$50 more and one could have one of these Founder 1080s.

This just isn't true though.
Many games have microstuttering problems even on single GPUs.
Poor frame time pacing/limiting control or other problems lead to lots of stuttering and hitching.
You don't see it in as many new AAA games, but it exists in some.
Using FRAPs to benchmark anything has always been honestly a seemingly odd choice.
Afterburner these days, while not as accurate as FCAT, can be used to monitor at any polling rate you want down to 1ms. And it doesn't even take that low of a polling rate to see very unstable and variable frame times. Especially when playing at a capped framerate with vsync.
First off, microstuttering and related anomalies apply only to multi-GPU setups

Hilbert, any way you can show PCI-E bus usage % from Afterburner or similar tool? Curious to see if we're getting close to the 50% mark on 3.0 x16 yet. I know I've gotten close on my 2x 780s, wondering if 1 card is > 50% yet.
