Wow- this is neat.
Still happy with my 1060 3Gb- can't imagine what this is like.

Not really a whole hell of a lot of difference. I replaced 2 980ti's with MSI 1080 Gaming X cards last July. I got a big FPS bump, and the fan on the top card comes on sometimes instead of the card thermal limiting like the 980ti did. The extra memory is nice on the 1080ti, but the clock speeds are a lot lower than the 1080's that are already out on the market, especially with MSI and EVGA's cards. I wanna see some binned cards with some FAT over clocks on them in SLI before I get all gushy for one. Right now it looks like all hat and no cattle.
I don't mean to pull a Dennis Miller and get on a rant, but if a card runs a game at 40-60 FPS in 4k.. you're good. Anything else is overkill if you're running a monitor capped at 60 hz. As of today, you've got 2 IPS panel monitors that are both pushing $800 a pop to take advantage of the new "tech" in GPU's. I saw the manstrating over the new monitors from ASUS and ACER with the new 1.21 gigawatt displays, and they'll be double the price to play console ported games on
. The monitor tech hasn't caught up and the games sure as hell haven't with VERY few exceptions.
