Our nVidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition review benchmarks the card's FPS performance, thermals, noise levels, and overclocking vs. the 980 Ti, 980, Fury X, and 390X. -

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Seems like its not better than 2 980s in SLI like nvidia said based on some benchmarks ive seen today hopefully that changes with updated drivers.
Overall 4k/60 on some nice settings looks achievable in some of the hardest games to. Cards like the 970 could do 4k/60 on quite a few games, but even lowering settings on the 'hard to 4k/60' games would be 20-40 FPS range, like say Witcher 3 that tended to be around 20 FPS.
The GTX 1080 looks to push some of those to 4k/60 on ultra or 4k/60 on slightly below ultra or high settings. On ultra I've seen the Witcher 3 is about 37 FPS at 4k. So about double FPS with ultra settings instead of low-medium.
If you have a 1080p/120 setup, or 144/165, then the 1080 card seems it can run many games around those levels on ultra settings. If you have say a 4k Vizio P series that can do 4k/60 or 1080/120 this card seems like a great upgrade over a 970.
For instance a 970 could do 65-90 FPS in say Tomb Raider (not ROTR) on ultra, or a few settings turned down could be at 120. With the 1080, you can ultra everything and expect about 110-173 FPS.
It seems a stock 1080 can almost double a stock 970 at 1080p high FPS situations right now. At 4k, sometimes even bigger gains.
1080 looks like it can run Battlefield 4 at 1080p/ultra at about ~170 FPS. That's fast.
There's tons of reviews out, I've gone through about 15 so far.
Here's a good one in the sense you can see how well it works in a very condensed format. 1080/1440/4k all on the same graph on one big long page. It doesn't have the FCAT frame timings on it.

1080 looks great, but let's see what the much more affordable 1070 will do, and also see how much sticking to simply GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X will hamper it.
One thing of note though, is that the Maxwell refresh color compression that helped save bandwidth, has been further improved. So that should help it at 4k, but is it enough?
Overall this is impressive considering this is the SMALL CHIP. The full chip, and then the titan Xtra stuffed full chip or Tesla line modification should really be nice. Of course for the much higher price, wattage/heat, and timewise (6-12 months from now). The small chip is besting the big and overstuffed chips from last GPU gen.
It'll really be interesting to see some benchmarks after a few driver releases. We could see a quick 20 percent increase in many games in the next few months, and perhaps another 20 or so in the year or so afterwards.
No matter how you look at it, this is still a stellar card.
If you bought a 980ti or something bigger, well you probably don't really "need" to upgrade but for anyone else it's a great boost from anything older for sure even compared to 980ti that was the ei time of what anyone really needed (Titans being overkill and pricey--980ti is still overkill for anything but 4K on brand new/upcoming games and a desire for 60fps both. Ti makes anything playable and beautiful lower than 4K).
Now we just need more games that actually utilize the power we will be seeing outside of performance gains (which enthusiast cards are basically for though at this point--nothing makes them struggle at 1080p).
