the gtx 1070 and 1080 have just dropped and my reaction was something like this oh I'll take that welcome back to tokyo city this is bryan coming to you guys today with a quick update on the gtx 1070 in 1080 which were announced from invidious CEO jensen wang today with the gtx 1080 rumored to come in at 599 USD and is supposedly coming out on May the 27th now this card will feature 2560 cuda cores and also up to 9 teraflops of compu performance and also have the new gddr5 x memory there and you'll get 8 gigabytes of that over 256 bit wide bit bus but one of the most impressive feats of this generation coming is the clock speeds I mean compared to a gtx 980 I think we've got one point two gigahertz on that from the get-go this time around we're going to get one point seven three three gigahertz which is a phenomenally increase in clock speeds over the previous generation they've also got the founders edition which costs a little bit extra but is reported to be a binge chip and at the event they supposedly had one of these GTX today's running at 2.1 gigahertz on freaking air that's right to point 1 gigahertz on air imagine what some people will be able to do with liquid nitrogen now the youngest sister car the gtx 1070 which i personally have my eyes on it is going to be my favorite mid-range or even if you'd call it a mid-range card is coming in at three hundred and seventy nine dollars now this is going to have a gigabytes of vram as well though will it actually have it since the gtx 970 had kind of a gimp thing going on there we will find out when this is being released as it's supposed to have 2048 cuda cores but there's no definite word on that yet it'll support up to 6.5 teraflops of comput performance which would actually mean that it would come slightly clocked in lower than gtx 1080 speeds however one thing to keep note of it does have the gddr5 and not the 5x so this could be a reason why it's not getting the compute figures that the gtx 1080 will be getting though I wouldn't worry too much about the computer performance configures as will get these cards and we'll be testing them in games and seeing how they run and that's where the real value will come when we get the final benchmark numbers though Nvidia have released their own benchmark figures which kind of should be taken with a grain of salt in my opinion though we can see that the gtx 1080 is scoring a massive lead over the 980 there by around about seventy to eighty percent in two games tomb raider on dx12 and also which are three the Wild Hunt which would suggest that this card actually does support asynchronous compute at the low level side there another thing touted from Nvidia is the VR performance which is supposed to have two times the performance of a Titan X so this spells huge news for the vr gaming community and I'm sure one of these cars will be invaluable to those people who want a game on VR headsets but what about AMD and their answer to this well they're actually going to be moving down to 14 nanometer with their Polaris architecture and if the 16 nanometer is this good then it actually remains to be seen that the 40 nanometer should be either just as good or if not better and if we look at the raw architectural improvements of pascal over max well actually how much are we getting in terms of raw low-level efficiency there I mean we're getting the 16 nanometer dropped we're getting the higher clock speeds there are also when we compare a 980 to a 1080 we're also getting twenty-five percent more cuda cores so essentially we are getting maybe a ten to twenty percent increase in efficiency going by Nvidia's benchmarks themselves which yeah as I said before she'll be taken with a grain of salt so this would mean to me that AMD still have a great fighting chance to come in with their Polaris architecture and all eyes are on AMD to perform as well as in video this year Nova means one thing for the enthusiast tech community that is that 2016 is going to be an absolutely kick-ass here for PC gaming so anyway guys if you have any questions or comments about today's announcement or about this video or anything you want to add and be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and if you haven't already subscribe to tech yes city and I'll catch you in the next video peace out for now bye what would you get a 1080 men get yourself 1070 / save yourself 220 dolls Nvidia fanboys be like Mandy what you got for me AMD Fabolous be like 14 nanometer baby
