The embargo has been lifted, we review the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders edition. This 8 GB GDDR5X based spawn of something evil is fabbed with all new Pascal architecture and yes, 16 nm FinFET has arrived. It's impressive, it's silent and it rocks hard when it comes to sheer performance. We'll test the card with the hottest new game titles based on DX12, DX11 and OpenGL.

The dynamic load balancing looks really interesting. Still trying to get through the rest. PcPer is getting hit hard too.

Hitman/W3 numbers are impressive. 2 should be fine for 4K.

my 3-way 980 was JUST enough for 4k.

Almost twice as fast as 980 in GTA V.

You could probley pick up a 6 gig second titan for half that price these days.

I would have to score a pretty sweet deal to get one of these, but anyone with a 970 or lower would easily get a nice upgrade with one of these.

Almost 100% increase across the board over my 970 (Which is struggling at 1440p/60 FPS let alone the 144 I'd like for my 144hz monitor). So I still plan on getting one when available.

Most boring change of node ever, and for $800 (after exchange rates and taxes) I´d demand more than a 25% improvement over the latest full chip and more than console amounts of memory... I mean seriously 800?, it´s not even the real deal Pascal and not built from the ground up as a DX12 chip either... people should get a discount.
