Nvidia GTX 10xx Discussion Thread

Makes sense really. The number of people with SLI rigs a a tiny, tiny percentage of the market. The people with 3/4-way SLI is a tiny fraction of that. At least now they'll have more time to devote to SLI scaling.

They need the two 8pin connections to power all the LEDs on the backplate!

Xenoronin

There is also the GALAX revealed here

That design sucks.

Definitely holding off for Vega. I think this guy is bang on his prediction of 2x 980.

Like your taste.

Reminds me of XSPC's waterblocks.

Cool in a 350d with colour coded theme.

If I got one I'd have to go with a closed PC case

Noooooo:)

I dunno. If the LEDs can do a warm non icy white then I'd be very interested in it for my black and white VR build for which I also plan some other edge lit Perspex accents.

Zotac one not really my bag . But I can see why people might like it.

Each to their own n all that.

That said if it's cool /performance good I'd get.

Looks like it overclocks pretty nicely too. 24% bump at 2.1GHz (never thought I'd be using GHz for GPU clocks)

So... Are these going to be available on the usual retailers on the 27th or should we be seeing pre-order options soon? Think I'm going to splurge for the 1080 because I'm impatient as fcuk, have money burning a hole in my pocket for once... And the last proper graphics card I bought was a GTX460 :pac:

Serephucus

Not sure on that yet. I'd imagine we'll get release dates and the like when the review NDA lifts (which we know is prior to the 27th, rumour is the 17th).

Interested to see benches on these. I bought a second hand R9 290 last January. It's been pretty good and I gained some serious noticable improvements. But its very loud, and very warm.

Coming into a few $$$ shortly so the first port of call is dumping it into my PC (Ipad air also on my list, boo)

Icyseanfitz

bought a 390x there 2 months ago was trying to wait for pascal but my old 7970 shat itself, looks like i am selling the 390x(actually a decent card), some performance from those 1080's if that leak is anything to go by. any idea what sort of money i should look for for the 390x? 250-350?

also beginning to wonder will my old cpu (i7 930 OC'ed to 4ghz) bottleneck a card like this?

Redfox25

I think they are rebranded old cards with slightly different names.
Oh, hang on , AMD did that last time, maybe its Nvidea's turn


Will be interesting to see the benchmarks when they leak out some more.

Icyseanfitz

Arnt they a brand new design? Hell of a rebrand if they are

Probably. Won't be cheap though.

Glad I helped use up that fail of the day on something trivial.

The 390X is still good, so I'd look for around €300. That way, your being competitve with someone who would buy a 390 or a 970.
The 1070 won't be out for some time, plus I doubt we are gonna see it for less than €360.

In terms of your CPU bottlenecking, it is questionable. I would say yes, but not by much. What resolution would you use the 1080 for, as 1080p would be way overkill.
1440p might alleviate some of the CPU bottlneck.
