NeoGAF - View Single Post -  GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X and GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 available by June 2016

Link to source.

The exact date of Nvidia Editor’s Event has finally leaked out. The event will be held on the 6th of May 2016 and will be closed to the public eye, with a vetted list of editors invited. This appears to be a good time to round up everything we know about the next generation lineup so far. Pretty much everything has leaked out and only a few bits and pieces remain to be seen.

The cards will have a hard launch at Computex 2016 (Market Availability in June).

 

The flagship graphic card of this year, and the first GPU to utilize the brand new GDDR5X standard from Micron, the Nvidia GTX 1080 will be one impressive card. Rocking the GP104-400-A1 GPU flavor the card is expected to feature 2560 CUDA Cores (given a few assumptions about GPCs and the brand new Pascal Architecture). Given that the die size is around the 300mm² mark, we are looking at performance levels roughly faster than the GTX 980 Ti (depending on how it is clocked).

 

There's lots more at the link.
 Edit: pricing information

The price range of the cards depends entirely on how Nvidia is positioning its lineup. If the GTX 1080 is officially positioned (performance wise) to replace the GTX 980 and not the GTX 980 Ti, then it should be priced somewhere around its $549 price point. On the other hand, if it is positioned (officially) to replace the 980 Ti, the price range can be similar to the MSRP of the Ti: $649 (or even above). In my opinion however, it is more likely that Nvidia will officially position the card against the GTX 980.

Title confused me until I figured out 1080 wasn't refering to resolution

1070 is 7GB, no?

Disappointed if it is only a bit better than GTX 980 TI.

We're reaching the limit of what we can do with our current manufacturing process.  I'm worried about what kind of processors we're going to see going forward.

GM204 is a 398mm2 in 28nm.

This new chip is supposed to have 300mm2 in 16nm.

The process is not limiting anything... you can do a lot more in 16nm like a new 400mm2 chip that will have a significant performance/power boost.

That is why I guess these rumors are wrong or the GTX 1080 will be the mid-high chip and nVidia will show a GTX 1090 for high-end.

960 -> 1070
970 -> 1080
980 -> 1090

Makes sense this performance for 1080 if they choose to replace the market like I posted.

I'm interested in pricing. I hope it's good.

New leaked benchmarks shows about 20% over 980TI.

the most interesting detail about GTX 1080 is the new memory. NVIDIA has finally used 8GB ram for its flagship card. It's no longer an exclusive to mobile solutions. Additionally, the GDDR5X modules are clocked at 2500 MHz (which is shown as 5000+ MHz in 3DMark). However the effective clock is 10000 MHz, which means the bandwidth is somewhere around 320 GB/s (assuming it's 256-bit wide).

On the GPU side we have a huge improvement in terms of frequencies. It is said that GTX 1080 can boost up to 1.8 GHz, with base clock around 1.6 GHz. At the time of writing we are not able to confirm the exact reference clock. For such reason I decided to avoid making comparison charts, so this post will essentially tell you what GTX 1080 is capable of and nothing more.

That is more inline with what I expect.

300mm2 chip being 20% stronger than a 400mm2 chip due the migration from 28nm to 16nm.

A 400mm2 chip in 16nm could be a monster in performance (aka Pascal GP100 / Titan).

599, stronger than a titian.

[ethomaz]

1080 > Titan X
1080 > 980 SLI

The boost over 980ti is even bigger than what I expected.

Amazing.

GP100 (new Titan X) is more than double units/performance... 15 billion transistors.

599, stronger than a titian.

The fudge is a titian?

Quick fingers.

The VR performance for this card is going to be crazy.

1070 is even slightly faster than Titan X according to nvidia. Crazy
