Sure, but it's proof NV rushed GP104 without testing it. 980Ti works perfectly fine under the same conditions. 3 major issues present on 1070/1080 is huge. Not giving RX 480 a slide either. This gen from both camps is one of the worst GPU launches in history. Seems paper launches are also becoming a new normal.
That is a pretty bold claim. Your post actually disservices all that hardwork done by several thousands of engineers..
You wouldn't say this if you knew just how many tests (of all sorts) these products go through. There are way too many test cases (tens of thousands if not hundreds depending on the complexity of the product and its ecosystem) in this day and age so Im not surprised to see these pop up.
Yet we sometimes discover these issues which most of the time happen to be minor. All products do have them. Good example are CPUs and GPUs etc which always have their own list of erratas (they are never 100% issue free but on a functional/performance level, these erratas most of the time are considered minor). Now if its a hardware design flaw, it could be a big problem but these issues aren't that.
I still find it puzzled by the "one of the worst gpu launches in history" comment because the 1070 and 1080 are truly great performers (well rounded). Price may be an issue but this just means your not the target audience. Supply.. is an issue too but the people who wanted one has one.
