The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Review - Comment Thread

I will be sticking with my 980Ti due to the price of the 1080 here in Canada and the fact that I have no issues with any game I play on my PC at 1440p with the GTX 980 Ti.
 
Fast Sync seems very neat. It is essentially a VSYNC replacement. It will eliminate tearing like VSYNC, but without such a massive impact on latency. The game engine still renders as many frames as it can like w/ VSYNC. However the GPU driver will only choose the last/best frame of the segment to send to the display.

It should support more GPUs than just Pascal. I'd expect Maxwell and possibly Kepler support.

That's the info I gathered too, but does it mean that we don't need G-Sync monitors now? Can we use Fast Sync and have low input lag and no tearing, really? SKYMTL will likely comment later. It seems odd though for NVIDIA to release something in software that would make the pricey G-Sync option less attractive. So that can't be what it is, despite my wishful thinking :biggrin:

Yeah, I really have to question the possibility of a $1K consumer card. We've had some pretty major price creep over the last decade when it comes to the top tier of single GPU offerings.

Going back all the way to the earliest available consumer PC products we've seen either price savings from one generation to the next or at the very least greatly increased performance at the same(ish) price point as previous generations, $1K is where a top of the line dual GPU offering belongs, not a single.

Good comment, I hear this argument all the time "it's getting more expensive, because it's faster", like the whole enthusiast crowd hit themselves in a head and forgot that the next generation is SUPPOSED to be faster, it's not like the time has frozen and we just keep on adding power, you pay for it with years of waiting for development.

GSYNC really isn't a VSYNC replacement. It is generally meant to be used when the framerate delivered is less than the refresh rate of your monitor. Fast Sync is completely useless if used under the refresh rate of your display. It would pair very nicely w/ ULMB mode on GSYNC displays though. Motion blur reduction, no tearing, and low latency.

I am guessing that we will get a decent price decrease when AMD releases their cards. Nvidia can charge a premium right now because they know AMD doesn't have anything coming for some time. So I expect a price drop when AMD releases their cards and Nvidia counters with a 1080 Ti. It has happened before.
