The editors liked

  • TDP and power draw is almost unbelievable at 150W for such a high-performance GPU
  • Using only one 8-pin PCIe cable
  • In contrast the Fury X requires two 8-pin cables
  • Overclockability is very good so far – GPU Boost 3.0 works with the Precision X overcloc
  • Vega 64 is slightly slower than the GTX 1080
  • While the liquid cooled version wins more than it loses against the GTX 1080
  • Excellent Performance
  • Low Power (Relatively Speaking)
  • Cool Looking Design

  • TDP and power draw is superb at 180W for such a high-performance GPU

  • The ca
  • Big performance jump over comparable previous-gen cards

  • The GTX 1080 finally has the power to bring topquality VR experiences to anyone with the cash to spare. Both the 1080 and the less expensive 1070 dramatically improve the quality of any game you throw at them. Great power management gives you a lot of oom
  • Incredible performance
  • Large performance jump
  • Extremely power efficient
  • 8 GB VRAM

  • New NVIDIA technologies

  • And VR
  • SLI at higher resolutions

  • Phenomenal performance
  • Great overclocker
  • Efficiency is top notch. This is the best highend GPU to land in years with a price that we feel is justified for what you get.

The editors didn't like

  • Poor availability and thus pricing. AMD's aircooled RX Vega 64 reference card is ~5% slower than the GTX 1080 FE despite being hotter
  • Louder and using more power (though we have high hopes for custom cards)
  • Founder's Edition Confusion
  • We still have to wait for HBM2 and NVLink
  • Temperature under load
  • Price tag due to the lack of competition (for now)
  • Still a long way to go for 4K with 60 min FPS with a single card.
  • Noise Levels At Load
  • OC Temperatures
  • Price (Compared To Custom Models)
  • None at this time
  • Founder's Edition feels like an early-adopter tax
  • Competing AMD cards can be physically smaller
  • Thanks to High-Bandwidth Memory
  • Founders Edition version is additionally expensive
  • Competing cards may be physically smaller
  • Pascal architecture discourages use of three- or four-card SLI
  • Doesn't blow away Radeon cards in heavily AMD-optimized games
  • Repetitive Side quests may get tedious
  • Linear gameplay at the end of the game
  • Story issues with pacing and confusing
  • It's a beast
  • And you'll need a big case. $650 is a lot to gamble on whether VR will ever truly take off. For most people
  • The 1080 and 1070 are excessive solutions to mundane problems
  • High price for the Founders Edition
  • Cooler runs into temperature limit
  • Fans don't turn off in idle
  • Overclocking more complicated than before
  • Could be quieter
  • Support for analog VGA outputs
  • SLI for three or more cards is complicated
  • Not quite ready for consistent
  • High PFS 4K gaming
  • Pointlessly overpriced “Founder's Edition” release first
  • SLI for three or more cards needs special unlocking
  • Still no consistent full detail 4K gaming at 60FPS
  • Founders Edition pricing
  • Limited stock right now
  • We still don't think the premium for Nvidia's Founders Edition card is worth it if you can hang tight for board partners.
  • We are not crazy about the $100 premium for Founders Edition cards
  • But you can wait and get a GTX 1080 for less in a few weeks.

  • Abstract:  If you disregard the janky animations (facial expressions, body movements), then Hitman 3 can be considered as a very graphically impressive title. Thanks to good lighting and high-quality reflections, the richly detailed environments appear very atmospheric. The textures are also very impressive, especially when compared to the rest of the competition...
