Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 seen in new photograph

Titan X has no EEC memory and suffering on low DP performance compared to what it is priced. Fury X has 4096 processor cores which is awesome for scientific simulation stuff I wonder what Nvidia will offer with the 1080 maybe 5000 cuda cores?

I wonder if we're getting a GDDR5(X?) GTX1080 at launch, followed by a HBM2 GTX1080Ti later on?

mostly interested in performance compared to Titan X... will it be an utter fail product or not.

What would your criteria for an utter fail product be?

Since this is complete new tech and 16nm and more that is like almost twice as much as 28nm... would be looking for a product doing 50% to 75% better.

For which die size? If you keep the die size the same then halving the node size would allow you to fit four times as many transistors on the die. However you can't scale exactly since it doesn't shrink perfectly and there's not a simple correlation between transistors and chip speed. More likely you'll reduce the die size rather than keep at the same, since that allows you to produce more chips and thus recoup some of your R&D costs.

If you're expecting the 1080 to be 50% faster than a 980, that's a fair thing to aim for I think. Likewise the p100 vs titan X.

It just needs Noctua colours to complete the look.

The graphic card world seems to improve to fast its very hard to keep up with it, does not seem all that long ago that the GTX770 was getting all the glowing reviews.

GDDR5X no it is not good, there should be HBM2 only..., or it will just look like "let`s make more money, let`s sell 1st edition with GDDR5X, then after half a year the same card only with HBM2, but for the same money... stupid... IMHO...
I hope these rumors are not true

Looks like Pascal is ditching PCIe for NVLink...
If this picture is to be believed.

You can tell that from a picture of just the cooler without any PCB attached?

[Sumanji]

I really don't care too much what a GPU looks like....It's pretty much the last thing on my list of requirements!

Exactly - even with a windowed case, only the side edge of the card matters!

[lumireleon]

Nvidia has an art of wasting money on tech that no other CPU and Mobo manufacturer will implement coz their tech is selfish, very soon Nvlink will be surpassed with something free and standard just like OpenCL/PciE/FreeSync

Damn this forum is full of drama queens.

Card looks OK, but who cares really as it's the custom cards most will snap up for a tiny premium.

ftfy.

Quite frankly it doesn't matter how it looks - the first thing many people will do will be stripping that thing and throwing it into the bin, replacing with liquid/hybrid cooling. Each and all top GTX cards were cooking themselves on stock coolers...
