so NVIDIA brought us to Austin Texas and launched the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 early
enough that they would give people time to Hype up before computex they told us
nothing about this trip beforehand and I knew nothing on my way
down so the first thing they did was bring us to a ranch a massive gorgeous
30 acre ranch they had tons of cool stuff there like ATV rides riding horses
going fishing kaying ski shooting tons
of stuff it was fantastic but it still didn't have anything to do with graphics
cards so I interviewed a horse and asked him what he thought about the GTX 1080
so Marvin what kind of like how many transistors do you think it's going to
have what about like Cuda cor memory
speed memory bandwidth okay and what do you think
about like the overall like kind of Batmobile aesthetic that we saw leaked
on the NVIDIA website interesting I think Marvin
actually might have better insights than some of the reviewers
here check this
out now that is one smart horse isn't he
if you've seen the live stream if you know the specs of this card you know
that he's pretty damn accurate but let's compare his accuracy to other various
Tech reviewers in the space and see what they expected from the GTX
1080 all right Jay what are your predictions for the GTX 1080 well first
Luke I'd like to welcome you to my study
uh I think the GTX 1080 man I don't know what to expect but
I think obviously it's meant for 1080p gaming I mean clearly it's in the name
right so for all of you 4K and QD Enthusiast we'll get you next time I I'm
going to use a demonstration here so the GTX 1080 I think will be a lot like this
dessert here lovely dessert first off it's provided by NVIDIA so there's
obviously a correlation right there second we're expecting the new Pascal
technology including C can you can you
call that Coos I don't know how to pronounce that Coos yeah chip on wafer
on substrate you can see the layers of this K striations within there uh that's
that's obviously representing that and then you have this which is just a piece of
chocolate well they're dropping a lot of hints here this life vest
uh is sort of a representative of the mark marketing hype you better be ready
for this raging River that's coming and then we've got this River over here it's
about uh Knee Deep which is about indicative of the performance increase I
expect all right anony what predictions do you have for the GTX 1080 hot next
performance within a smaller package less power uh a good price and AMD is
going to it's going to hurt it's going to be Pascal of course I would expect
gddr5 or 5x I don't think hbm2 will be on this quite yet Yi's not there yet
that's really the main part of my projections right now all right Kyle so
what do you expect from the GTX 1080 I think the real question Luke is what
does the GTX 1080 expect from me what do most people expect from me
these days Paul absolutely nothing that's correct
okay so as you can probably tell enthusiasm wasn't super high most people
were kind of making jokes and not expecting a massive amount they're
expecting something good but not something groundbreaking and then the
event was actually kind of impressive so
I gathered some guys came back to the hotel room and we had a discussion about
it the discussion was almost an hour long
so a lot of it's going to be cut out but here's here's some highlights well I
think usually when you're talking about a new launch you're looking at I don't
maybe Intel's gotten us too used to expecting a 10 to 15% performance boost
per yeah so the numbers at least that
we're seeing from Nidia as far as performance compared to last generation
spe specifically like Titan X I mean it's insane the fact that you could get
a 1070 for 300 how much is it 3 379
379 that's better than a Titan X right now I mean that's that's reference 1070
is better than the Titan X and you know there's going to be board partner versions yeah but I was most shocked at
the fact that so you and I speculated like what are they going to compare it to are they going to Benchmark it
against 680 are they maybe 780 I thought
at the most it would be 780 they came right out of the shoot with the 980 and
then went there and said it's faster than Titan X they literally obsoleted
their current offerings entirely 2980s
in SLI that was crazy that was nuts when they put that up you do have to remember
that their charts are a little bit cherry-picked so they they would do
things like it was faster but then the
the xaxis is wattage and then in like
this one it's like strictly PR VR performance they never talked very
specifically about like d DX yeah they
didn't talk about DX in the slightest uh we talked to them afterwards right and
they said a 25% bump compared to 980 TI
and Titan x 2560 Cuda easy to remember
2560 by this is all yeah uh this is for
the 1080 yes we don't have these specs for the 1070 1607 MHz base clock that
gives you 8.2 terap flops at base 17 33
MHz boost clock for 8.9 Tera flops 320
GB per second is the memory is is the memory throughput 256bit 8 GB of gddr5x
and 180 W listed power with a single eight ping connector that's the most
impressive part to me like how they're able to go from having this car that uses so
much power like a like a Titan X it's hot and it's loud and it can use a lot
of power but it's it's really fast I've gone down to a single yeah that's just
well I jokingly tweeted during the event you know that I personally I don't care
about power consumption give me all the FPS I'm okay with a power hog um but
this is this might be the first time where I'm actually excited about the TDP
reduction because I with obviously with three Titan Nexes and a water loop and
massive radiators I still deal with a lot of heat and any any amount of heat
that I can reduce now I is only bonus
yeah and you said the event like when when they're doing that whatever demo
that was where they were just spitting around the guy and whatnot um that was
only running at 67° yeah when they brought up Precision
X overlay um it showed
2114 MHz which we are we are kind of
speculating that's going to be like the founders Edition yeah the founder card
um but at at and memory was overclocked to
11,6 yeah effective 11,000 11,000 sorry
11, MHz R5 like just considering
potential overclocks for whatever the
found like we don't know yet either we don't know if what we're shown is a
Founders Edition yet right we're speculating just because of how far
percentage wise that is but so much Headroom like 16 to 1700 MHz Basin boost
but up to over 2,000 and this is fairly
early and then what like we're talking about before what they showed us we
don't know if that's if the fers Edition has two Ain connectors that haven't said
anything about the temperature shown was 67 C so unless they had this thing with
like some sort of an air conditioner blowing directly on it yeah what the f
is up with that temperature and that overclock yeah and like we're in Texas
so it's not like it was almost 90° to you're sunburned I'm super sunburned and
like wow okay that's pretty bad what do you guys think aesthetically of the C
because going into this the the photos that we saw from the like whatever
Factory that it leaked from and then the leak they had the leak they had looked
way like I thought there was going to be
massive cut in chunks and stuff it's
actually somewhat subtle what you a lot less Transformers life it looks like I
was waiting for that to like just transform but it looks way cleaner I
feel like clean I feel like I would have liked to have seen a more radical cooler
design change since it's such a radical new new innovation for them in terms of
16 NM you know um I I think we've kind
of the cooler I'm disappointed in I like the new angles and stuff hopefully maybe
that'll allow some more air to get in there for you know reference style multi
you know GPU configs uh but I don't know
we've seen the same cooler now for like four years a long time all right guys
hopefully you enjoyed that it is 3:30 in the morning and I haven't even started
editing this yet and I have to wake up at
6 how is that going to work I'm probably not going to sleep
anyways I'm going to release another video tomorrow with probably more
in-depth like Hands-On stuff about the different Technologies and stuff that
they talked about hopefully I can get more information on the founders Edition
cuz what the hell's going on there anyways guys stay tuned check out
tomorrow make sure you're subscribed hit the like button if this was awesome hit the dislike button if you're like screw
you this video sucks go to sleep that that would be fair use our Amazon
affiliate code buy a cool shirt become a member of The Forum you guys you guys
know what all I'm going to bed no I'm
editing this and then I'm going to bed
