Ill be buying one when i upgrade my PC next year, it should be noted that Nvidia said that this card is so powerful that having 2 in your pc instead of increasing the performance it degrades it due to diminishing returns.

Zyle

I'm going to wait a bit until I rebuild but it looks worth it IMO. 1070 doesn't look bad either.

Seriously considering it... just got 2 new 4k monitors and want something to pair with them.... so tempting.

KingYogi415

I wish I could just add this to my PS4.
Might build a PC around the 1070 though! Halo 5 in 4k here I come!

Thinking about one in the future. Although I can guarantee they are going to be damn expensive in my country, probably $700-$800. Somewhere down the road I'll be doing a full upgrade. Going to be a costly exercise.

Mojmir

I'd have to build from scratch for this,but I'd like to see the 900 series drop in price soon

When I finally find myself in a situation where I have the financial means to get a Computer that has both a comparably powerful CPU as well as this Graphics Card, this will already have been made obsolete.

Long story short, I'm broke and I'll be broke for a long time.

Looks like an awesome card. However, if im going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a gfx card its going to be the 1080ti.

KanedaSyndrome

The day it becomes the card that costs "most bang for the buck" x1.5, which is the formula that I usually use when I purchase GPUs.

Oh_Skrivva

Waiting for the"ti" 1080s before I get my hands on one. Not in any rush really. My 2 980 ti's still does the job very well.

Kildayen

I am running 2 980s in sli right now. I will probably wait for the 1080ti unless I find a buyer for my 980s. I do want this new card. I don't need it, but I want it.

KanedaSyndrome

The 1070 pretty much doubles the performance of the 970 if we're to believe the posted stats on Nvidias page. So a solid upgrade. The most important part? Only 1 power connector, which means a lower thermal design point, which means cooler and quieter hardware.

IcyDeadPeople

Been waiting for Pascal a very long time! Will be a huge leap for me as I'm finally upgrading from ancient AMD 5000 series laptop I bought back in 2009.

Either going with a Clevo with desktop CPU / desktop GTX 1080 or something like this watercooled asus laptop with desktop 1080: (laptop beating Titan X 3DMark11) http://rog.asus.com/23312016/coming-soon/the-future-of-ultimate-gaming-laptops---a-glimpse/

Woah GTX 1080 finally PC can play video games in 1080p!

Paulington

The problem with this card is that it's not all it's hyped up to be. The "founders edition" is a £100 extra early-adopter tax with a terrible cooler and thermal throttling issues, let alone only having one 8-pin so you can't even overclock if you put it underwater.

I'll get two for SLI, but I will wait a week or two for the AIB cards to release, people like EVGA/MSI will release cards with an extra six-pin for more power and far better coolers than reference.

A great card the 1080 will be, but at £620 for a terrible reference design? No thanks. I'll wait for EVGA and spend £520 on a better design instead then step-up to the 1080 Ti.

The reference design is better if you're doing SLI since the blower design pushes hot air out of the back of your case whereas the EVGA ACX style just moves air around inside your case.

Abeille

I might. I was planning on buying a new graphics card already. It depends on its price in my country or if I get the chance of going to the USA on the next few months.

This is the thing that puts me off PC gaming. It's like a constant rat race to go for the newest upgrades etc etc.. costs a lot, too...

I've been PC & Console-gaming for over a decade now and I've managed to play some of my favorite games on low-end/middle-end PCs, but of course the performance and detail isn't as good as it could be if I did have a decent/new PC. I wish there was just one system that ran EVERYTHING with no lag/FPS spikes/drops, no complexity, no need for upgrades whatsoever etc. Maybe one day.... the PC industry is so huge though, they're making BIG bucks, so I don't see us plebs getting access to advanced technology that may be locked away in confidential places anytime soon.

Egonieser

I'm getting one as soon as MSI gets their hands on it. And if ESO still runs sh*t on it, I will cry very salty tears and /facepencil myself.

If you will run games at 1080p and don't mind adjusting the settings a bit or playing slightly below 60fps, even older cards will be fine for the next few years.

It's only those who must play on maximum possible settings and extreme resolution displays that are chasing the latest cards, as games keep coming out with new settings options that are more and more demanding. Otherwise you can certainly get by only upgrading every 4 years or so.

I'm going for the 1080!!!

wayfarerx

I'm in the process of designing a new rig and will probably be going for the 1070, I don't really need absolute top-end performance and could use the extra few hundred bucks to upgrade some other peripherals.

We'll see what the pricing looks like in a couple weeks.

even the 1060 looks promising,the 1070 will be a good medium for awhile

I already pre-ordered a EVGA GTX 1080 ACX3 Gaming - it's coming on the 7th of June, yay!

silvereyes

Just got an EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 and FPS is still really spotty in ESO, at least running at 1440p 96 Hz. Texture and subsampling high, shadows and water low, view distance 80 .

Frame rates on 64 bit client are close to 30-40 FPS in cities, 60-95 FPS in the country, and consistently close to 100 FPS in delves/solo instances. Ping is around 90.

GPU utilization never goes over 50%. CPU utilization (i7-5820K @ 3.3GHz) is usually around 25%. I'm running 32 GB DDR4 RAM and a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB.

I'm kind of regretting sinking the money into this card now. I was hoping to get consistent 60+ FPS like I do in just about every other game, but it seems ESO just doesn't want to use the resources available to it.

I hate to throw good money after bad, but I'm seriously considering getting a gsync monitor now, just to cope with the huge frame rate variation.

But its whats driving technology forward. Its why we have curved 34" lcd screens with no ghosting, tearing or input lag and machines able to provide a spectacular visual experience on them in ultra high resolutions. Its why youll have the same thing on consoles in 3-5 years instead of 20.

As for the 1080... Ill wait for 1080ti. I dont expect the 1080 (or even the 1080ti) to be a massive improvement over 980ti in ESO anyway as the fps here its mainly dictated by single core CPU performance.

i7 6700k@4.6GHz with a 980ti here. Not to bum you out but Im running the game at 4434x2494 (DSR) with all details maxed (except distance -80, water med, and particle systems turned down all the way) and while my top frames are somewhat lower than yours (not much, I just rarely go over 100) my lowest ones are about 10fps higher. As I wrote above I think its the CPU that makes the difference in ESO rather than the gfx card. Also Id suggest turning off whatever minimap add-on youre using for an instant 5-10fps gain.

A friend of mine bought one of those..along with this https://asus.com/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27AQ/

Sufficce to say it looks,and runs ,pretty decent

To do good pc gaming, it isn't as bad as you thibk. Hardware can max most games for 2-4 years. Then you really just need partial upgrades for 4-8 he marks until new motherboard. Most gamers don't need to do the power race

Well, Forbes wants to force me to disable Ad-blocker - they can .... themselves, not going to do that.

I'm going for the 1060 when Asus releases there version.
