holy sh.... 60%+ faster than a 980 (non ti)! That makes the 980 look like a mid-range GPU at this point!!! :shok:

looks good...not enough to sell my 980ti's for $400 each though

Wow you weren't kidding about the 14000+ words! Lots to digest in there.

Man! Those are actually higher numbers against the 980 than I expected. I am most interested min frame rate more often but even those numbers are impressive. The charts with the average improvements is pretty staggering.

well I need one but that FE card for $100 more is a turn off. Normally I buy reference at launch because they are the cheapest option and I like the look of their cooler. Now however I will not and I will have to wait

true, but I think the real test for the used market prices will be with the 1070 @ $449 for the founder's edition. But lets not speculate on the used market prices until it's really here! :thumb:

So I wasn't off in predicting ~60% performance gains over a GTX 980. It's nice to see such massive gains in one single generation but the gain versus the 980Ti is less impressive but still note-able. The only problem I see now is availability with the Founder Edition being available soon as this is a paper launch (first time I have seen Nvidia do a paper launch in a long time compared to AMD before). With the founders edition being over $100 more what can we reasonably expect seeing as how Canada Computers has pre-order amounts at over $1100 for the 1080.
