At 1440p, across the ten games we tested with, it was on average 22% faster than the Titan X and 28% faster than the GTX 980 Ti, which is significant. It was also 60% faster than the GTX 980, which is an important comparison to make considering how many 980 owners will likely be looking at the GTX 1080 for their next GPU upgrade. The 1080 was also 34% faster than the Fury X.

"Moving to 4K, the GTX 1080 was only 19% faster than the Titan X and 26% faster than the 980 Ti. Interestingly, it remained 60% faster than the GTX 980. Against AMD's top card, the GTX 1080 was 28% faster than the Fury X which is surprising -- we expected the 4GB AMD card to slip further behind at this extreme resolution but it did hold well."

the titan is also much more expensive so i would say this card is quite impressive for being $600

Im not a tech wiz but from what Ive gathered a big deal id the way the transistors are placed on the gpu. The 9 series uses 24nm(?) on its die while the 10 series uses 16nm process. This somehow allows for faster data transfer rate im assuming the electrons dont have to travel as far. Nm stands for nanometers which is a measure of microscopic length to the degree of a billionth of a meter. Talking crazy small. Couple that with the gtx 1080's use of GDDR5X memory which is supposed to be significantly more effecient than the standard GDDR5 and you have a card that may not seem so good on paper, but offers a truly enormous leap in performance.

Sorry for that ridiculously long paragraph lol

Instead of drawing all the geometry and shading the 3D scene separately for each "eye" in your VR goggles, that data is processed for both at the same time. So the GTX 1080 isn't really twice as fast as the 980. It's more like a 50% gain in performance for normal games.

Waiting for the Ti myself, 1080 isn't really worth it if you already own a 980Ti Oced/Pre-oced, difference is only like 10-20% at most.

Plus when AMD bring Vega there will be better prices, not like the 1080 that's priced what a Ti would be right now. Nv are really trying to milk this time, and I'll likely never get the Titan cards at the ridiculous prices they charge when you can get a Ti for a fair bit cheaper and is usually just as fast or faster than a Titan.

You'll be able to get two 1080's for the price of one titan lol, and two 1080's will outperform a titan.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
