First Leaked GeForce GTX 1080 3DMark Benchmarks Appear

Actually from my 3DMark FS scores and others, over at OC.net, the stock GTX 1080 score is almost identical to a 1560MHz/8000MHz 980Ti.

- i7 5820K @ 4.75GHz
- 980ti GB Xtreme Windforce @ 1565 / 2049
- Score: 19069 Graphics: 21833
- Date (1/21/2016)

So we can conclude that an OCed 980Ti@1550-1560MHz is offering stock GTX 1080 performance, as we already had assume from the first leaked 3DMark score of the GTX 1080.

Atleast in the synthetic 3DMark Firestrike benchmark that is.

I wonder how much is related to your CPU oc, pretty sure i can hit 21833 with 4.7Ghz CPU. Already 21420 with 4.5Ghz and 1505Mhz core.

edit:
Well, i did the test but actually the impact is pretty small from CPU oc, i was expecting more.
4.7Ghz CPU and 1514Mhz Core GPU/7900Mhz memory gave me 21555

Well performance wise over OCed GTX 970's, I would only consider the GTX 1080 since even that seems so far as a "side-grade" at best. Which of course I would had taken it in a heartbeat over them for all the known reasons.

And as we know almost nothing performance wise about the GTX 1070 but since we already have the GTX 1080 as a baseline, only those coming from single 980/970 and below would benefit from it. And also from AMD comparable one's. Performance wise again I mean.

So to the point. Well the GTX 1070 will serve its purpose well according to all the rumors/info we have. But it wouldn't be the best payout.

Biggest payout obviously over GTX 970's is the GTX 1080 if you can spare the extra dough.

You also have to keep in mind that the benchmark score comparison is very relative to real world performance, as few games actually scale with multi-gpu setups like a 3DMark does. Whereas with one card, the performance will always be proportional to that benchmark score in real world scenarios.

I've already sold one of my 970s and about to sell the second as soon as I get my hands on an 1080 (or sooner). For me it's definitely not a sidegrade, as I'm really looking forward to not have to deal with SLI anymore. As much as I loved having 2 GPUs for 3 generations, SLI support is worse and worse and apparently with DX12 it won't get any better either. If that changes in the future, I will gladly go back to it.

But yes, I definitely agree that prices are overboard, but at least I don't have the urge to buy 2 cards anymore, as I usually did, otherwise this summer would have left me broke for good.

Or bettering it.

People with Ti should wait for the 1080ti, 1080 isnt a good upgrade path.

I could have saved you the trouble..

As I said, I was entirely referring to performance wise. But yeah, totally agree. No one in their right mind would have chosen 970's SLI over GTX 1080.

well, while on this trolling CPU clock i did this bench at 1518Mhz core 7900Mhz memory, 4.7Ghz CPU

Now, back to legit cpu lol.
