that's boost clock, not manual overclocking
He didn't say for sure, but he mentioned overclocking and I highly, highly doubt it's boosting >20% above reference boost speeds. It's got to be overclocking. Also memory was overclocked from 10ghz to 11ghz, so more evidence the core was manually OC'd.
11ghz vram = 352 gb/s, up 57% over GM204.
Given the performance and specs, I guess we can now confirm that there is zero improvement in IPC from Maxwell to Pascal (on average)
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.
I think you hope they don't give out the release date and pricing info so you can complain, and if they do give it out you'll complain all the same.

The multi monitor projection thing looks interesting.
You don't think release date and price are important pieces of information when you announce a card?
Notice that they're comparing it to the GTX 980. That's a pretty good indicator that it would be priced at $549. They're trying to get GTX 980 guys to upgrade.
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.
Basically saying that maxwell sucks for vr
