NVIDIA Unveils Killer GeForce GTX 1080 And GTX 1070 Pascal Graphics Cards That Slay Titan X

[CHD]

You realise this is for desktops?

Laptops even gaming ones are not ideal. The mobile versions of even high end graphics card substantially lack performance and require high cooling which at times is either not possible for laptops or require external components which together can prove to be very expensive.

If you have a gaming mindset, nothing can beat desktop or even better gaming platforms. Laptops are slowly losing their place as mobile work station with increasing popularity of tablets esp surface pro.

In short, you might see mobile version of this card for a hefty $2k + (Component only) but it would still be 1/3 of the performance if not lower.

I know, but gone are the days when i used to be at my home with my consoles and desktops, now i have to move alot due to job.

Well the best you can get at the moment is "MSI GT72S Dominator Pro G‑219 17.3" incorporating GTX 980 and not the dimmed down version 980M. According to the test results, it can really handle anything on high to ultra graphics, keeping fps above 100 in most cases on ultra.


Only draw back, costs a hefty $2.7k

Ohh how's GTX 960M working out for you? I almost bought an Acer with somewhat similar configuration but fell short of checking out. SSD is def. a speed boost.

Till now on this laptop i have only played farcry 4 and fallout 4 and both are quite smooth at high settings.

hmm interesting. One I was thinking of almost has same specs minus SSD, which is pretty cheap these days anyways but total came to be around $600. Good deal for casual gaming, at least for me.

$600 with same specs, which one?

It was an Acer, an Asus was a close match too but i lost links to them

Maker preserve both my tower and cooling system. I could probably make a cup of tea with all the boiling water.

But seeing as how I make a living as a professional gamer and streaming games, this is a must.

Might need a new PSU though. I hope my EVGA G2 850W will handle it as well as it does a GTX980 SLI setup:

The rule is power requirement of the graphics card(s) + 200 in overhead.

jesus christ dude, can you tell me what kind of temps you are getting with that loop, I am wondering if you get big temp drops compared to a fan setup because I plan to build GTX 1080TI SLI setup next year, as it will feature HBM2.

btw you should really get a bigger case Lol, like corsair 900D.

What's your budget? And are you looking for a pre-built computer? Or do you want to build one?

...

If you're building one to match or exceed a console, here's some important info and their cost:

RAM

You're going to want a minimum of 6 GB RAM, but most likely 8 gbs. Anything greater then 8gbs of RAM and you really aren't going to notice a difference in performance. You can get a 2x4 set up for 40 USD at Newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428&cm_re=8gb_ram-_-20-231-428-_-Product

It's best to use a dual channel approach - this being two 4 gb cards instead of one 8 gb card - single channel has around a 7% drop-off in performance versus dual channel.

GPU

Anything GTX950 or higher is going to give you superior graphics to consoles - the GTX950 goes for about 160 USD:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=gtx950&Submit=ENE

I'd recommend at least a GTX960 or comparable AMD card. Try for at least 3 gbs of VRAM.

PSU

You'll need a PSU with a minimum of 200w overhead to accommodate for other components.

I use something similar to this one, but so long as you know the power requirements of your GPU + 200, you should be able to find the right one for you.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...0446076&PID=3821802&SID=inyx2i4a29000a1700053

CPU

For the processor, to get console quality performance you're going to need at least an i5 (possibly a late gen i3 if your VRAM and RAM or capable enough), but more likely an i7.

Mid-model i5s, 4000 series, run for about 200 USD.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372&cm_re=i5-_-19-117-372-_-Product

Other stuff

You'll also want cooling systems, a motherboard if you bought your processor without one - be mindful of the chipset of your CPU and GPU or you could end up buying parts that don't fit the motherboard- you'll need a tower and a wireless chipset and a storage device, most probably an SSD.

The tower's an unsung, but important part. It needs to have room for all the components plus cooling. Considering CPUs and GPUs come in different sizes as they get more powerful - the GTX960 being several inches smaller then the GTX970 which is smaller then the GTX980 - it might be best to pick your components first and then find a tower to fit them all, preferably one with good ventilation to help with cooling.

...

If this seems intimidating, building a computer usually is for a novice and even for advanced computer geeks like myself. I'd recommend buying a prebuilt instead and would be happy to help you find one within your budget.

Thanks for the reply. Well my range is about $600-700 for the pc. I would prefer to built a custom pc.

Tonight at an event in Austin, Texas, NVIDIA unveiled its highly anticipated next-generation, Pascal-based GeForce graphics cards, known as the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070. NVIDIA’s Pascal architecture is based on 16nm FinFET technology, similar to that of NVIDIA’s high end data center Tesla P100 processing engine, but the GeForce cards are targeted at the consumer gaming market. NVIDIA’s GP104 GPU at the heart of the new GeForce cards is comprised of some 8 billion transistors and features a 256-bit memory interface and 8GB of Micron GDDR5X graphics memory -- commonly referred to as G5X -- or 8GB of standard GDDR5 in the case of the GTX 1070.

At the event, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang proclaimed the new cards were the result of "several billions of dollars of R&D" expenditure and that they took over two years of development effort by thousands of engineers.



Along with the new graphics cards, NVIDIA unveiled multiple new technologies as well, including what the company refers to as the world's first "in-game 3D VR camera system," called Ansel, in addition to new VR audio technology called VRWorks Audio that leverages technology from NVIDIA's iRay physically based rendering tech (part of NVIDIA's VRWorks suite) and something called Simultaneous Multi-projection technology that presents aspect-correct and distortion-free multi-monitor rendering and VR imaging delivered through multiple viewports, that can be rendered in a single-pass with no performance penalty.



NVIDIA's tech demo's are always impressive. The Simultaneous Multi-Projection technology in particular was a dramatic demonstration as 360-degree views were rendered in real-time without warping of the peripheral images as the user panned their head and altered the camera view. And enabling the single-pass rendering dramatically improved performance from roughly 65-68 frames per second, to 96 FPS. However, the big splash of course was the unveiling of the GeForce GTX 1080 which was claimed to be faster than a pair of GeForce GTX 980 cards in SLI and offer 9 TFLOPS of throughput, all without the usual sticker shock associated with a very high-end GPU at a $599 MSRP, or $699 for a Founders Edition which will reportedly be highly overclockable.





Huang also demonstrated the new GeForce GTX 1080 in action with his frequent game developer partner, Epic's Tim Sweeney. The GeForce GTX 1080 powered a demo that featured highly-realistic, complex characters, with impressive lighting and material effects that were rendered in real-time. During the demo, the GTX 1080's GPU clock hit a blistering 2.1GHz with a 5.5GHz G5X memory clock. The new GeForce was also humming along at a tepid 67ºC.

Huang went on to quickly announce a lower cost and equally as impressive Pascal-based GeForce called the GeForce GTX 1070, which will offer about 70+ percent of the performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 or about 6.5 TFLOPS of compute throughput, for a very attractive mid-range price point of $379.

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 announcement this evening were a very quick, opportune "mic drop" of sorts, strategically positioned to coincide with the Austin DreamHack LAN gaming event, where thousand of gamers have converged on the city for a BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) gaming fest of epic proportions.



The new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 will start shipping in market at the end of the month on May 27th, while the GeForce GTX 1070 is due to arrive on June 10. You can expect the usual AIB partners like EVGA, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and PNY to deliver various offerings, both based on the stock reference designs and with their own custom cooling solutions as well, in the months ahead.

7:33 mark

Most important question, will this support 4K gaming @ 60fps? Because if it does, the PC platform will be in the driving seat for quite a while as opposed to the consoles. Sony and Microsoft aren't bringing out a 4K console any time soon. Even Sony's new PS4.5 most likely won't support 4K resolution.

It goes far higher than 4K

It goes far higher than 4K

This thing will cost a fortune. This isn't meant for the average Joe.

Also, Nvidia hasn't released any 4K frame rates as far as I know. It has released some 1080p frame rates for the GTX 1080 (Doom with Vulkan-api and ultra-settings). It reached max 200fps, but that is no big deal. This isn't an average or minimum fps score.

I'll wait for the 4K frame rates. Seeing is believing. 4K res is a different ballgame and I don't think this card will easily surpass 4K at all. I'm not even factoring things like ultra settings. If this card is able to reach the 60fps benchmark for 4K on even the lower settings it'll be considered just a decent next gen video card. Otherwise, it is just a marketing gimmick. Who would pay this much for a card that runs only good on 1080p? Such high frame rates are only good for virtual reality stuff and it seems that this card is intended to cater this requirement.

There is a reason why the likes of Sony and Microsoft aren't near 4K yet despite releasing their new consoles. Even despite the fact that 4K has been around for a couple of years now. Traditionally, external video cards always have an edge over video consoles, but 4K is an entirely different ballgame. It will require time before we see a proper 4K certified video card.
