Nvidia LiveStream Event and GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 Announcement
Hello everybody Guru3D is in Texas, attending and covering the Nvidia event of the GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080. Yours truly flew in yesterday to witness the announcements you are about to see. The Livestream starred at 6PM PST and has now ended. We also have an active open discussion thread on this product announcement right here. You can click on the read more link if you like to check out photos of the event.
UPDATE- STREAM HAS ENDED
I'll post updates on this launch in this item, if you step in later you can see what has happened though these updates.
20:00 - Arrived at the event, the feed should be live.
20:01 - Alright - the event is crowded, little space for press. Updates will be hard to do. At least there's wifi ;\
20:02 - Jen Hsun, the CEO of NVIDIA takes the stage. Intros Ansil. A video mode built into the driver. Ansil In-game 3D camera mode that much like taking photo's can capture moments inside a game. You can make 360 degrees shots to be used in VR.
20:21 - Introduces NVIDIA VRWORKS audio. API that includes Physx into VR. Path traced audio. Physically modeled traced audio.
20:31 - GeForce GTX 1080 is announced. Pascal based, 16n FinFet design and GDDR5X from Micron is confirmed. Energy efficiency is noted. Most advanced switching power supply ever introduced in the product. Clean power ftw.
20:40 - 1080 is faster than 980 SLI. Faster than Titan X
20:43 - Tim Sweeney from Epic Games takes the stage. Talks about PC gaming platform about being the best, blah blah. Shows a nice demo run on GTX 1080.
20:45 - Something very interesting, the GPU clock of the GTX 1080 runs 2114 MHz in the demo that ran (must be the boost clock). That's very high. The memory runs 5508 MHz on GDDR5X (would be effectuate data-rate). The card seems to run well under 70 Degrees C under load.
The Pascal GPU for the GTX 1080 has 2560 shader processors harbored, like expected.
Simultaneous multi-projection announced as well. Independent viewport detection, no perf losses. Basically is solves warping in a virtualized surround view mode.Multiple monitors surrounding you will give proper picture as if you are looking around in real-world.
Meanshile the specs have been posted of the GeForce GTX 1080:

The GeForce GTX 1080 will offer no less than 9 TFLOPS of single precision perf and is armed with a nice 8GB GDDR5X. The pricing was announced as well and is set at 599 USD, there will be a founders (spcial) edition as well for 699, it is unknown what that precise edition brings to the table as of this moment. The cards will be available starting May 27th.
The GeForce GTX 1070 is announced as well, precise specs are missing at the time of writing this news item. However it will be a product that still offers a good 6.5 TFLOPS of single precision performance and will get 8GB of GDDR5 memory, not GDDR5X. The card as well will be released in a founders edition. The basis model will cost 379 USD and the founders edition is going to cost 449 USD. The GeForce GTX 1070 will reach the market a bit later at June 10th, that might be due to custom AIB partner designs and releases released and showed off right after Computex.
Right guys, the stream has ended, the event is busy, crowded and noisy. It's nearly impossible to edit and write properly from here. Have a browse through the photos for some extra information on the GTX 1070 and 1080 release. Once back in the hotel I will update with a proper news item. Hilbert checkin' out. thanks !
Small update: the founder edition are better binnen products that shoulkd offer better overclock potential. Just so that you guys know.

Nah, that was just a rumor, it ended up being Tegra K1. They brought the GPU to the CPU and not the other way around. Nvidia never had any intention of putting an ARM CPU on one of it's desktop GPUs.
Maxwell was initially supposed to have the ARM CPU included, but plans changed, I don't remember the ARM CPU being a feature anymore in any of the upcoming architectures. This is what I remember from seeing NVidia roadmap slides.

I'm pretty sure I saw roadmaps with ARM CPU included with Maxwell, they changed their plans for Maxwell very often, it was even supposed to have Unified Virtual Memory with Volta being the next architecture after that, but then they changed it to Pascal following Maxwell. They've just changed their plans multiple times.

They definitely changed Pascal/Volta, I agree with that. But I've never seen anything official from Nvidia saying that their GPU's would get an ARM processor on it.
Their ARM processor got a Kepler/Maxwell GPU on it though, with Tegra K1. I'm pretty sure what happened was that leaked info said that Nvidia was pairing a Maxwell/ARM processor together and rumor sites automatically assumed it was going on a desktop GPU. But it was actually just mobile.

Could be.

So the 1070 @ 379.00 Buck'A'Roo Dolla's is faster then the Titan X? I have my doubt's on this one but that's what nvidia cliams, Oh yeah? We shall see when Hilbert does the complete review on this one.
My eyes are on the HBM2 originally but that ain't going to be released for awhile now, Now my eyes are on the 1080, They should change the name though, lol, sounds like 1080 screen resolution, no disrespect but come on.
They should just eliminate the name Geforce, and just put Nvidia Pascal on the card instead, good for a change, been geforce for so long, but thats just me, Don't think it will ever happen though.
Really looking foward for theses cards, been waiting a long time, Volta seems interesting too, Speaking on topic with pascal, ain't the pascal supposed to be armed/equipped with a ARM cpu along with the gpu? Or is that the upper end model of the pascal?? I remember nvidia was putting some kind of cpu along with their new gpu in the future or did that all got canned?
Also gotta remember one more thing, the cards won't truly shine right off the get go, drivers needs to mature over time, probably talking maybe 6+ months tops to get this card really going, since its a brand new architecture.
