Finally - nVIDIA Pascal Launch! DreamHack 2016

[Bubblegun40]

A single 1080 is 2x the performance of a single Titan X...period.

Hmmm... there are a few graphs online which show the performance of a 1080 compared to a titan x in VR, rise of the tomb raider, and witcher 3, in witcher 3 and tomb raider its about 60-70%, in vr it is double :P
but we will see iguess :')

This makes me...I dunno what it does...wow.... :)

This is running on a single 1080 at fully maxed out, Ultra settings.

They start off with it capped at 60 FPS. Then, at about the 1 minute mark, they uncap it. That's when the REAL fun begins...



I'm tempted not to even fire up Doom when it releases this Friday until after I get my GTX 1080.

[Bubblegun40]

I'm guessing at 1080p?
that is very impresive though :P so they are getting like 150fps average, in 4k thats like 40fps off one card, thats not that good :P But i dont know the performance of maxwell cards on this game, and tbf there was tonnes going on in terms of explosions and stuff :P

[Bubblegun40]

and fps doesnt scale properly once you get over a certain threshhold,
in the height of the action i saw it dip below 100fps sometimes :P
how does this game run on maxwell cards, like the 980ti?

Doom? Or Witcher 3? Because I have W3 and I can max the game out (at 1080) and I'll be around 60ish frames. Will probably sit down and run some tests today and check.

Yeah, Witcher 3 maxed out (Ultra settings...and what's that other thing? The hair thing? I'm obviously not a player of the franchise :) ) at 1080p / 60hz and a pretty consistent 58-60 FPS is about as much as a single 980 Ti will put out.

[AOD_lanius424]

Yea Witcher 3 maxed out will be about 50-60 FPS maybe more or less depending on the scene. And it's NVidia Hairworks

Thats weird.... i have 2 and get a consistent 58-60 at 4k with hairworks? although hairworks seems more CPU intensive than GPU, with hairworks settings at max i only take about 1 or 2 fps hit for some reason. for most people its a 10 or 20 fps difference.
but i have a OC 5820k which is obv more than what most people have... so maybe thats where the reduced performance hit comes from?
By the way you have 1 980ti and a 1440p 165hz monitor.... how does that work?
obv you play battlefront and at ultra on that monitor most you could get is about 60 probably?
or do you play at lower settings?

i noticed after posting this that i have a question mark at the end of every sentence. that must be a lot of work lol.
aaannnd i was gonna put a question mark at the end of that too :')

I'll certainly be saving my money up for a GTX 1070 in June. I'm not seeing any major hiccups in games with my 970, but the extra VRAM for GTA and other VRAM intensive games is always welcome. Hopefully they don't pull a 970 again and downclock 0.5 GB of the RAM to rediculiously low speeds.

GTX 1080

2x performance of Titan X

The 2X increase is only in VR, I think. In non-VR it's something like 20~30%, IIRC.

Didn't realize that, but I watched some uncapped DOOM gameplay on ultra at 1080p and it was staying above 130fps almost always.

[Tymplar]

So, yeah, my bad on missing the "VR" piece of the "2x performance over Titan X" the other day. I had seen others saying that as well, and when I went back and re-watched the launch from Friday, I HEARD him say "2x the performance of a Titan X..." but he didn't say VR in that statement. It is, however, on the chart he was showing. Oops :)

Everything else that I've seen says that, in regard to overall performance (not just VR), a single GTX 1080 is 25% faster (performance-wise) than a single GTX 980 Ti. That's still pretty damn impressive when you think about it, especially given that it's achieving that with far less power (180 watts for the 1080 and 250 watts for the 980 Ti / Titan) AND running running at 67 degrees Celsius at full load (my 980 Ti with the default fan curves get up to around 80 degrees Celsius under full load).

Huh? Not sure I understand what you're asking...?

(Heh, see what I did there?) ;)

I sure as hell hope I didn't spend $650 on a video card and $800 on a monitor to have to drop ANY settings down. I run every setting on "Ultra" with some additional tweaks via the nVIDIA Control Panel. I also add ReShade / SweetFX into the mix which, depending on which preset I use, can be just a smidge more taxing on a build.

I get 85-90 FPS consistently with absolutely no tearing or stuttering, ever, due to G-Sync. I can turn off G-Sync and in-game V-Sync and push up to the 120-130 FPS range, but there's the typical tearing one would expect.

The 144hz / 165hz ceiling means that I'm good for when I want to go with the GTX 1080 (or even GTX 1080 in SLI and beyond) and be able to get closer to that with FPS, and G-Sync will still ensure no tearing or stuttering.

You're right, sadly.

In that case I'm probably going to wait until the TI editions drop. Or something like it. Personally I'm one to tone down settings for that buttery smooth frame rate. And I'm waiting for the card that will be able to run games maxed or close to it, while also pushing 144hz (at 1080). And my 980ti comes pretty damn close. But I'll give all these wonderful youtubers a chance to tell me of its absolutely worth it.

[Bubblegun40]

I saw a chart somewhere where in the witcher 3 it was 60-70% faster than titan X and 70-80% faster in the DX12 rise of the tomb raider, so idk where you are all getting this 25% from
but either way im defo still waiting for the Tis :P

[Bubblegun40]

get a 1080Ti when it comes out and with 2 of them you should be able to push near enough 4k @120hz :p or 1440 at 165 hz

And I definitely WILL get a 1080 Ti when they come out (sometime mid next year or so)...but that isn't going to stop me from going ahead and getting at least one 1080 now and selling my 980 Ti :)

I'm tempted to do the same thing

[HUMAN1ST1C]

The DOOM gameplay footage with it was fucking INSANE! OH MAN

[Outerfuel]

...welp my 980ti is already overkill for my resolution and the games I play, I'm gonna sit this one out xD

Going to as well. I'm sitting on dual 980's. Going to wait for the 11xx or 12xx series before I get upgraded again. Running BF4 in Ultra at 150-200fps
