The NDA for NVIDIA’s GTX1080 has just been lifted and the first benchmarks for this brand new GPU have been released. According to reports from multiple sources, the GTX1080 is 30% faster than the GTX980Ti, and in some situations and can be up to 40% faster than NVIDIA’s previous high-end GPU.
As we can see, the GTX1080 is reported to be 40% faster in games like The Witcher 3 and HITMAN.
In other games, like Shadow of Mordor, Fallout 4 and Ashes of the Singularity, the performance difference between the GTX1080 and the GTX980Ti is 30%.
For those interested in gaming in 4K, know that a single GTX1080 is not enough for 60fps. It appears that PC enthusiasts will need an SLI system in order to achieve something like that in all games.
Last but not least, there are no benchies for Quantum Break, something that really disappointed us. Quantum Break is perhaps the most demanding title available on the PC, so we were kind of hoping that someone would at least test it.
What’s also interesting here is that, based on NVIDIA’s very own benchmarks, we kind of came really close to the performance gap between the GTX1080 and the GTX980Ti. We were 10% above the real numbers, so we were not 100% accurate but still; our predictions were based on NVIDIA’s charts.
“The performance difference – according to a lot of benchmarks – between the GTX980Ti and the GTX980 is around 20-30%. Therefore, the GTX1080 can be – according to NVIDIA’s figures – up to 50% faster than the GTX980Ti in extreme situations (we expect an average of 40% performance boost).”
Regardless of that, NVIDIA’s latest GPU is the new king. And given the fact that Polaris 10 and 11 are aimed towards a mainstream market, we kind of expect to see NVIDIA dominating the high-end market. That is unless the rumours surrounding AMD’s Vega are true and the card hits the streets this October.

Awesome gpu.
Generally speaking it is more around 25/30%…but yeah it is a good card if we look at its power consumption.
Now by looking at how prices work here…this GPU will cost around 700€. Let’s see what the 1070 can do. (Asus Strix GTX970 owner here)
Yeah. Im still with a 760 and i have a feeling that the 1070 will be a crazy upgrade.
The 1080 gives me like 80-110 fps in some games according to the tests. If the 1070 is like what.. 20-30 % weaker, i guess i’ll get around 60-80 more fps? Considering how i game at 20-40 fps atm… adding an extra 50-60 will make my gaming smooth again!
What resolution are you on? At medium-high settings a 760 should still be pretty decent for 1080P.
It still is! I’m gaming at 1080P but i do have a 4k TV too.. sooo 🙂 Not that i mind tho lol. I love 1080p. Its so easy to push the ultra settings.
I figured it would be decent i used to own one
Dude every game has different fps at different settings. You can’t compare them like that.
Actually i can. According to most tests, even the 980 TI is gonna give me a ton of fps in the most brand new games. Games that i play at 20/30 fps will run at 70+.
The 1080 will give me even more. I got no problems with old games, but most brand new games run pretty badly.
not even 4K and less than 60fps.. emm not really impressed honestly.
I wanted 8K 120fps, the 1080 sucks so bad.
Yes, it’s such a tragedy that the 2016 GPU’s aren’t capable of running 4 1080p Monitors at 60 FPS without SLi/CrossFire, isn’t it.
Especially at that price tag. What a sad joke.
Thats the best we can do as a human race right now. Sad or not, theres nothing better. We still have come a long way. Just look at what we had around 2005-6. Before GTX 8800.
Yep.
P.S. Not fully convinced the Ti will be enough for 60 FPS, but otherwise agree with the other post too.
Pretty sure you will if you drop settings down a notch and overclock on the 1080, depending on the game.
7.7 fps difference only 1fps off from 6…lol no async compute for dx12
i just cant wait for devs to make win 10 and dx12 required for games like ea wants.
Yeah, keep dreaming.
I HAVE TO COMPROMISE? 🙁
I know what you mean, personally I prefer a frame-rate nearer 144hz than higher resolutions, it’s so much better than 60Hz on a 4K monitor. Playing Doom at 60Hz, ugh, really can tell the difference at 144hz.
The Ti is twice the transistors of the 1080. Although alot of them are going towards compute so it’s not a direct twice performance bump. I’ve heard by numbers alone it should be around 35-45% faster than the 1080. For most games that is enough for 4k/60. The super demanding games may need to drop a few settings though.
35-40%? Hm. Sounds like paper numbers tbh, considering the big difference between the 980 & the 1080 as it is.
Regardless, we’ll see soon enough.
Man took some time for ATI to even come even to that card
I guess the Ti version will be good enough for 4k. The next cards after Pascal however will be enough for sure. At least for what we got right now.
If the future games suddenly get way more demanding, i guess we might never game at ultra settings at 4k.
we arnt even close to a single card that can do 4k yet. we are still years off.
The Ti will most def do it.
4K is retarded and unnecessary at the distance most people sit from their monitors.
No, you can’t see the difference between 1440p or even 1080p and 4K from where you sit.
Unless you have a 50″+ monitor.
Toplels to you good sir.
60hz monitors su ck anyway, Once you get a 144hz or 120hz monitor there is no going back.
still no quantum brake performance test on DX 12
sad…..
10FPS faster than the 980TI at 1440p, ultra settings, 17FPS faster than the 980. Double the minimum FPS than a 980.
only 7.7 fps from the OLDER a fury x…lmao
AOS – Crazy preset – 4xMSAA DX12 – 1440p:
GTX 1080 – 64FPS
Minimum – 45FPS
980Ti – 53FPS
Minimum – 34FPS
FuryX – 50FPS
Minimum – 31FPS
GTX980 – 31FPS
Minimum – 20FPS
Now shut up. This is an extreme case benchmark, moron.
i will stick to my 980ti for another year…besides my old 3770k at 4.2 ghz became a bit of a bottleneck in some games already so getting an 1080 will be a waste of money
Yeah i’d wait for a TI card to come out anyways one thing i will say is these series are not as cheap as people think a 970 and 980 came out for less when new and they were built on a more expensive die. 1080 and 1070 logically is a replacement for those cards not the 980Ti. 1080Ti will be that replacement a card and a 980Ti cost 650 at release.
1080 looks good. Can’t wait for the 1080ti.
BUT BUT BUT IT’S ONLY 6FPS FASTER. – HVD
He’ll just say, but but only 8FPS faster. :p
6fps or 7.7 fps actual number 1fps and you sre still but hurt….lol these tests just confirm everything i said still no async compute for dx12.they are trying to band aid that with vulkan which wont work.
he gaming industry wont just on the vulkan api just because nvidia does…lol
fyi this is close to the numbers the guess who actually posted WrATH…lol
remember this
80Ti – DX12 -1440p/Crazy: 36.8
FuryX – DX12 -1440p/Crazy: 44.2
————————————————–
GTX1080 – DX12 – 1440p/Crazy: 49.6
not to far off
are you still but hurt.?lmao
” still no async compute for dx12.they are trying to band aid that with vulkan which wont work.”
Man you Amd people used to claim 12 was nvidia’s answer to mantle then most used to claim 12 was nothing but mantle.
Finally Amd does not have everything for 12 either. Anyways using Amd fanboy logic wouldn’t Nvidia just pay off 90% of software dev’s to not use Async?
He’s clueless and he’s completely ignoring how the GTX 1080 is 14FPS faster in DX12 than DX11 using AOS benchmark at 1440p. Pascal’s Async preemption is much better.
no one cares about dx11 only nvidia fanboys do.Pascal has a work around for async copmute but it still ISNT a async compte.
your still but hurt at your won post..lolol
Dude you know even Amd themselves claim its nothing but a 5-10% gain at best. That means all Nvidia has to do is beat Amd by that much if that was the only gain. Async alone isn’t going to save Amd, using all the threads on piledriver isn’t going to save the old design, just like how Windows 8 wasn’t going to save bulldozer.
Seems like Amd fans(and some times Amd) always like to make claims about some mystical future that never really comes.
I truely hope Zen and polaris is at least competitive in every way i actually think Polaris will be but we haven’t really seen anything “new” from Amd in quite some time
wow…lol just wow…
Sometimes it takes a hit like that to see reality, awhile ago i used to be in the same delusion but not anymore i will not buy into any company.
i was floored about how bad you post was….lol
As we all are with your posts, now please go back to explaining to everyone how great Amd is i’m sure you can only increase their market share at this point its not like it can get worse.
lol
No one cares about DX11 apparently, 99.8% of games are on DX11 now but hey what they hell, no one cares. Studios with small teams and budgets, indie devs, lets just forget about them.
That’s why I stopped buying AMD cards. Long time ago I bought into their rhetoric about how their cards were built for the future but everytime the future came I was ready for a new card anyway! So now I just buy what gets me most performance for my dollar and it’s been nvidia for quite a while now.
Sadly people like HVD still fall for it, i have to admit i’d be so happy of HVD was right but its simply not true.
You’re right nobody cares about dx11. They care about the games performance and right now they are almost all dx11 games where nvidia wins by a large margin. So I guess you were right about one thing.
dx12 came out last leat year it is verry new we are getting patched dx12 games but we havent had any game build from the group yet for dx12 i think the first game was going to be deus ex mankind divided.
it takes time to make a game by the ned of 2016 and the start of 2017 we should see full x12 titles.
so just chill.
Amd does not have everything for 12 either ummm async compute which is why nvidia sees hardly any gaings in dx12 and amd sees a big jump because on async compute.
12 was nvidia’s answer to mantle then most used to claim 12 was nothing but mantle you say its similar to dx12 which is why amd dropped.
the facts are nvidia still have no async compute for dx12.now they are trying to push vulkan which will fail. and amd is launching polaris and VEGA this year.
HVD, please just keep buying your overpriced radiators and be happy. Literally nobody cares about your wrong opinions.
resorting to trolling now its to be expected tho.
images. anandtech . com/graphs/graph10326/81656.png
Fury X 6 fps faster than 290X. But.. but.. HBM.
I see that my mindless monkey trap has worked. Hello HvD 🙂
He is still putting out those “leaked” take with a pinch of salt figures I quoted rather than the real benchmarks that are out now.
“also remember YOU leaked that info”
What? LMAO, no John did, Hvd is a moron.
the leaked benchmarks that YOU posted…lol 7 fos difference from a OLDER FURY X….LMAO.
JOHN PAPADOPOULOS:
“NVIDIA GTX 1080 – First Ashes of the Singularity DX12 Benchmarks Leaked”
Source: videocardz
lol
1 thing. Ashes is a game that AMD puts alot of effort in just to show the power of async compute. Which is great since it is a nice feature. But not all devs are going to implement in in their games. So right now when i see the 1080 ahead with 30fps over Fury X in many instances i don’t feel the 15% in ashes is as important now.
lol the real tests are out only a “7” fps difference between the OLDER fury x .i cant wait to see amd’s high end vega this oct.while polaris dominates the midrange gpu market vega will beat the gtx 1080.
Then 1080ti will most probably take the crown. We’ll see when we get there.
Oh it’s no doubt, the 1080ti is almost twice the size of the 1080. 7.2b transistors on the 1080 but the 1080ti has 16b. It’s going to be a ridiculous card.
you called me out where you at?
I thought we talked about this. Hvd is an attention wh*re that needs to be ignored.
But what he says is so ridiculous that we can talk about it indirectly and not reply directly. I mean now he’s really high on the sugar because he’s calling me by name now.
haha, High on sugar, nice one!
Yet, no pre-order on newegg…1070 of course!
goVEGAN
This is just a paper launch to keep the hype train going.
Impressive gains for the price.
Remember this is reference 980 Ti vs reference 1080. Reference 980 Ti only runs at about 1000 MHz boost clock while overclocked custom cooler versions go up to 1500. A stock 1080 is roughly the same as an overclocked 980 Ti. So not really worth buying if you already have a 980 Ti.
And you can overclock the 1080 as well..
Still not worth upgrading. But if you are someone that comes from a 770 and under (I got a 760), those new cards will be a HUGE upgrade.
If i had a 980 Ti, i wouldn’t even consider upgrading.
Obviously one maybe shouldn’t upgrade from a 980ti, but people like me with a 980 or lower have a lot to gain. 980 was just a little bit better than a 780ti, now the 1080 is about 30% better than the 980ti. It has been somewhat longer though if I remember right.
Not only that, but word is that on water it could hit up to 2500mhz, 21-2200mhz on air.
Magically went from 2x performance to 50% increase based off Nvidia’s claims
And that is why we wait for full hardware reviews and tests.
I personally own a GTX 970 and I was hoping for 4K 60 FPS performance out of the 1080, but I may just hold off and get a 1070 and or SLI a pair of 1070’s for a much lesser price.
They said 2x performance of 980, wish people would get this right, not 2x performance of 980Ti. they only said it was 2x performance of the Titan X in VR.
Plus they only said that for VR. Also don’t listen to Nvidia or Amd(probably worse) or intel
Yes, I’m posting third party benchmarks, you’ll see images I took from Hardware Canucks off their youtube GTX1080 review.
dont believe nvidia they still have no async compute support for dx12
2 1070’s ARE NOT cheaper then a single 1080…. GTX1080 =$599 GTX1070=$379…$379×2=$758. Simple math. Plus both GTX1080 & 1070 have $100 extra “founders editions”. So that would be $479 for a GTX1070FE. So how is it cheaper gor SLI????
They never said what you thought (incorrectly) they said.
Finally, a solid 4K PowerPoint experience 😀
lol
Unfortunately, that benchmark is very deceptive. Metro Last light “maxed out” (which they did for the benchmark) involves enabling 4xSSAA, which when your resolution is set to 4k, results in the GPU trying to output 8k. My gtx 970s in SLI running Meto Last Light at 4k maxed out, got around 45 fps without SSAA enabled, halved at 2xSSAA, and actually did turn into a slide show at 4xSSAA.
Yeah, Metro’s max settings are absolutely ridiculous. It was just fun to see the strongest and newest card having such major problems.
1080p Ultra Gaming = 700USD?
And 4k solid 60FPS in Minimum?
We need revolution not evolution -> uprade skipped
What’s wrong with this picture:
No ACE?
no HDR Gaming? (only software + Video)
no Full DX12? only like in Maxwell 12_1?
Waiting for Big Polaris 8GB HBM_1 😉
“We need revolution not evolution”.
Very well put! I want 4k VR to be feasible NOW!

NVIDIA doesn’t use ACE units, it’s done in a different way to AMD in their architecture, it’s called Preemption.
A sidegrade from an OC’d 980Ti. We will see what Polaris brings.

lol
Learn to read. I said a sidegrade to an OVERCLOCKED 980Ti. An OVERCLOCKED 980Ti is with 10-15% of a standard 1080.
That’s not an argement, the GTX 1080 overclock will destroy it so stop comparing a 980TI overclock to a stock GTX 1080. What does “sidegrade” mean?
Argument*
A sidegrade is something that is touted as a big upgrade, but in most cases is a marginal upgrade from a previous generation product.
Over all I’d agree but there are some big gains in some games over the 980Ti. it really depends on the type of games you play.
just tell him there is only a 7fps difference between the gtx 1080 and the OLDER fury x..lol
What is the point of that comment? People will just OC the 1080 regardless.
The point is that it’s not a flagship, but a midrange card sold as one. People who already have an OC’d 980Ti should hold off until something substantial comes along.
you cant talk any sense in to them they are worse then sony fan boys
MFAA+FAST SYNC+ SHADOWPLAY
will be a freaking in dream in GTA V at 1440p maxed out
>Excited for Pascal
>Will buy it to play GTAV
I need to put this out. Pascal see’s some massive gains in Async compute DX12 according to Ashes of Singularity benchmarks, confirmed by Hardware Canucks and Gamers Nexus.
Gamers Nexus – Stress test Ashes of Singularity – 1080p – High:
GTX1080:
DX12 – 74FPS
DX11 – 50FPS
GTX 980Ti:
DX12 – 58FPS
DX11 – 49FPS
FuryX:
DX12 – 56FPS
DX11 – 27FPS
GTX980:
DX12 – 48FPS
DX11 – 45FPS
even AMD comes with something faster i will still go for Nvidia part because:
fast sync,MFAA and shadowplay and a proper Nvidia inspector
vega in oct.the OLDER fury x is only 7 fps difference from the gtx 1080.
lol
I’m really impressed because in some benchmarks 1080GTX is well above 2x faster compared to 980GTX.
For example performance in NFS (2016) benchmark,
4K resolution, max settings
http://www.benchmark.pl/testy_i_recenzje/geforce-gtx-1080-testy-wydajnosci/strona/26051.html
1080GTX- 55 avg, 52 min
980GTX- 23 avg. 15 min
(that difference in minimal fps is really amazing)
And this is just 1080GTX!! I bet 1080ti (full fat pascal) will allow people to play games with 4K@60fps
Or you could run GTX1080 in SLI and likely to get more performance than one GTX1080 Ti.
Anyone thinking that DX12 should yield more performance gain?
I mean, people often say “but that game wasn’t made with DX12 in mind, it’s a bad implementation of it”. Now we have a game which is DX12-only. No excuses.
Well that’s easy to solve isn’t it, sell your 980 Ti, get a 1080 with your 980Ti money, as I said, there are probably plenty of games where the 1080 will beat the 980Ti by a lot, plus massive overclocking potential, more VRAM, runs much cooler. Benefits are there ,you just need to weigh them up, not look at a small handful of benchmarks.
You tell me buddy.

trying to had bro..lol
Glad I sold my 980 Ti (for $597). GTX 1080 will serve me well until the 1080 Ti. Not bad for a $100 upgrade. I will do the same with the 1080 when the 1080 Ti comes out.
Guess that means you will be upgrading to a Volta not long after your 1080 Ti.
Guys honestly, benchmarks are all over the place. Check this out from tech of Tomorrow.

you are stretching now…lmao
stock speeds…stock speeds everywhere
Here we go again;
– The Article doesn’t mention EA once. I’m assuming you’re referring to the comment by the random bloke.
– Partnering with AMD to have DX12 in your Games =/= DX12 & Win 10 exclusivity.
– When did EA, specifically, ever say anything about wanting DX12 Exclusivity? You mean the DICE Tweet? The one that was aired a year ago, before Windows 10 even tanked, that specifically stated EA wouldn’t let them go with DX12 exclusivity?
– Even if Publishers/Developers had any sort of interest in Windows 10-exclusivity, I can literally guarantee those interests were shattered once Rise of the Turd Raider, Gears of War, Quantum Break, etc. all tanked on the Windows Store.
learn to google ea dx12 requirement for games.anyone can do that…maybe.Rise of the Turd Raider,is on pc to turd.
He has completely lost his mind now to the point of he can’t type English any more, if fact forget typing, he just copy and pastes now and his grammar has totally gone to sh*t.
Eh. I’m doing a VR build in a few months. I’ll wait for Pascal vs. Polaris benchmarks. We’ll see what the 1080 ti looks like when it drops, too.
Well without async compute in such an amd optimized title, nvidia wins (sadly). Imagine in a title where no side is clearly advantaged and with async compute (if they do it on volta).
then vega releases in oct and its faster then the 1080..lol
Then 1080ti release in january and it’s faster than vega 🙂
it still wont have async compute for dx12 have fun..lol
It’ll most probably beat vega. Have fun 🙂
These benchmarks are really weird I mean gamer’s nexus was showing a dx12 performance increase of 24 fps but other people aren’t really showing a improvement,
If only Huang actually stated “Only in specific VR games” after repeating “Double the performance of titan X” over and over again. Didn’t see that tidbit until after articles were released.
I would like to see a 980 Ti overclocked against a 1080 overclock and see where the difference is then as well, this way we can see how much their “hindering” (I use this term loosely) their card in order to remain in the respective TDP, like maxwell. There should be plenty of overhead to hit ~2100 on the GPU.
AMD will finally gain some ground, already got 1.8% additional even after the GTX announcement, in the middle grade cards when polaris is released. Hope to see some articles on this site regarding it. June 1st is announcement date.
2 gtx980’s are faster then the gtx 1080.if you own a 980 just buy another one…lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BF0vR95qsI

Yes it’s bad, so bad that the AMD supporters here even rate Hvd up. As for the NVIDIA users that hate NVIDIA like BACE, they’re just toxic hypocrites that just want the best GPU at the time but take the moral high ground on NVIDIA while not criticising AMD.
