    "A photograph showing Nvidia’s upcoming flagship Pascal GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card has just made its way to the web. It depicts a silver graphics card shroud, clearly bearing the Nvidia logo on the right and an engraved “GTX 1080” on the left. The allegedly new NVTTM cooler maintains the same familiar aesthetic look of Nvidia’s current GeForce lineup. Featuring a silver metallic body with black accents and a small acrylic window sitting above the vapor chamber and heatsink fin array."

    I hope the polaris equivalent gives it a good smacking.

    I would love to see AMD put NVIDIA in their place and force some innovation in the market. Let's move away from this re-branding crap!

    If we're only going to get a token 30% over 980ti I'll sit this round out. Plus I also wanna see what AMD show.

    yea I am definitely sitting this round out, there is no money trees growing and I already have titan x sli. Knowing nvidia they will gimp the titan x in another year to prepare for their next launch though and may make an upgrade inevitable.

    I have zero faith in anything Pascal until real silicon hits some reliable review sites. Until them, I still say Q4 2016 before we see it for desktop, let alone mobile.

    Desktop pascal is coming soon simply from the fact GM200 is EOLing. There is no more titan x on newegg.

    I don't know why people keep assuming end of 2016 releases. Because of the 980/980M? That was an outlier in terms of release dates. 1H/year is tradition.

    Desktop will be here after Computex. Not sure of mobile but don't really care anymore. Appears that they've taken re-branding to a whole new level and are releasing GDDR5X for 2016. If you have a 970M or 980M, just wait for Q2/2017 for the real, "full" Pascal release with HBM2 and everything. ;)

    We must see HBM2 for something this year. Maybe the next Titan or 1080Ti, not sure.

    GDDR5x for 1080, GDDR5 for everything else.

    And no, probably no HBM2 this year. As much as I want a pair of Titan Pascal with GP100.
    HBM2 probably wont be on mobile until volta.

    My estimate for a GP104 mobile with disabled part and possibly GDDR5x is going to be around 20-35% ahead of GTX 980 desktop.

    And why 2 threads again?

    Volta isn't until 2019. Go away.

    Lol, what did I do to provoke you again?

    Oh and if volta isnt ready by 2017, nvidia is losing hundreds of million on HPC contract with oak ridge.

    I'm debating sitting this round out until they drop cards with HBM2. I don't think the upgrade will be huge over the 980 Ti. 780 Ti is still a beast card and was comparable to the 980 when they first released. My guess is that my current card will be somewhere between a 1070 and 1080.

    P100 has HBM2 on it and is based off of GP100 I thought, and shouldnt the new Titan/1080 Ti be based of GP100?

    Hopefully that will be true. I guess I'll wait and see what the 1080 Ti looks like. I think that will be the worthy upgrade, the 1070 most likely not, and the 1080 won't be a big enough gains to justify me upgrading. Hoping the 1080 Ti brings the same huge performance gains the 980 Ti did.

    same, hopefully by the time that is released AMD will have released something comparable at a much lower price and I can stop giving my money to shady people

    With nVidia's recent reveal of the GTX 1080 and 1070, what do you all think about it? The claimed performance seems insane. How do you think the mobile parts will be like? I think it's likely that the mobile parts will get a small clock boost, but lower TDPs myself.

    Of course they gonna claim insane performance gains, what kind of PR it would be if a company didn't do that. Though honestly I'm not surprised if it would be faster that 980 SLI. With all that stuff I heard about SLI scaling somehow I'm not surprised.
    And who the heck would want to pay more for a stock cooler?
