Dont say I told you so.. But nah all were like bla bla.
Even Chispy said it later when the OCers started to play with it.. 2ghz is as good as it gets, custom will be cooler thats about it.
unfortionally the OC isn't anything near the 2.2 mark I had hoped for, also the boost doesn't seem to be too stable. Let's hope amd forces nvidia prices to go down. This card is not worth 800€. I got 2 980s for 1100€ 2 years ago. You do get the same performance ( little less) than that in 1 card for 37.5% cheaper, but in 2 years you would expect a better price/performance ratio....

So now all we need is for AMDs RX480 to be as powerful as they claim and keep it's low price and have good availability. Otherwise the prices of these cards will stay ridiculous ..

I guess Maxwell as the 'end' of the node was at it's best, we will see OC headroom increasing when current nodes improve in manufacturing I think.
But I seriously don't understand why they want to hit 2.2 with it besides the true overclockers, it's already a damn big jump from ~1.6 max with Maxwell's cards. Performance seems to be okay... so what about it?
Still, I am looking forward to what the people can get out of better power delivery for instance. The 1070 and 1080 will probably get revisions over time because they will stick with us until 2018 I guess, 2017 being big Pascal's year.

Hmm the 1080 / recent drivers really seem to like OpenGL more than I thought.
Great review, thanks Hilbert!
