Boosted to 2.1GHz during that demo.

Jen-Hsun just said "available today"!?

 

[DownTheSky]

2114Mhz WTF!

 

[Cookie Monster]

At 67C (<70degree) during all that.

 

[Mopetar]

2.1 GHz clock is pretty insane.

 

[jpiniero]

2114Mhz WTF!

That's OCing of course. Not bad.

Jen-Hsun just said "available today"!?

referring to graphic engine fidelity

 

[swilli89]

Wow amazed at 2.1ghz clock. TSMC's 16nm process is insane!

 

[happy medium]

That's OCing of course. Not bad.

that's boost clock, not manual overclocking

 

[Arachnotronic]

Looks great. Will buy two.

 

[Silverforce11]

Ref boost 1.86ghz (as claim by the leak), OC to 2.1ghz. ~12% OC.

Ref spec is ~1.7ghz boost. It typically boost higher than ref paper spec, so 1.86ghz is believable.

2.1ghz, not believable for default non-OC state.

 

[digitaldurandal]

Is the 1080 replacing the 980 or 980ti.

Near double performance is insane.. but 30% better performance is expected. So which is it in reality?

 

[Hitman928]

ref boost is 1.733Ghz

 

[Monk5127]

Where's this 2.1GHZ coming from? On the specs page of http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080 it shows a base clock of 1607MHZ and boost of 1733MHZ.

 

[lopri]

Not that impressive. The gains are purely from the node change, it seems. Probably not even.. TSMC FTW

 

[Head1985]

Oh my fucking god
2560SP at 2Ghz

 

[happy medium]

did he say available today?

OP updated!

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080/1070 Announcement

'Most power efficient architecture we've ever built'
'16nm FinFET, GDDR5X 10 GHz'
'All games were running north of 60 FPS on a Geforce GTX 1080'
'Faster than 2x Geforce GTX 980 in SLI'
'Considerably faster than Geforce Titan X'
'Irresponsible amounts of performance'

Geforce GTX 1080 Specifications:
2560 Cuda Cores (GP104), 1,607 GHz Base Clock, 1,733 GHz Boost Clock.
Runs aircooled at 2,114 GHz - 65-67 C.

nVidia's website says the ref is 1733 Mhz for boost.

 

[antihelten]

Given the performance and specs, I guess we can now confirm that there is zero improvement in IPC from Maxwell to Pascal (on average)

(2560 CC * 1733 MHz) / (2816 CC *1216 MHz) = 1.32

Announced performance improvement over 980 Ti is only about 25%.

We might even be looking at a regression in IPC (if 1080 boosts significantly higher than 1733 MHz).

referring to graphic engine fidelity

That makes a lot more sense.

special sample, expect some cards to reach that not all

but whit that clock assuming it does the same work as in maxwell it will shine on DX11

 

[swilli89]

That's what I'm saying. Looks like they actually regressed per SP performance. Basically a shrunk Maxwell GM204 that clocks a lot higher while using more power.

 

[Hitman928]

nVidia's website says the ref is 1733 Mhz for boost.

Nvidia cards can automatically boost beyond the reference boost clock if thermal/power conditions allow. 2.1 GHz boost is super impressive but it was also on a single character render. It will be interesting to see if it can sustain that boost during normal gaming loads.

 

[ThatBuzzkiller]

There's 4 GPCs, right ?

My estimated die size is ~400mm^2 ...

 

[Spanners]

The reference cooler is channeling the Lamborghini Reventon. Not sure it's an improvement.

Amazing clocks and efficiency, look like they nailed the important parts.
