CheeseMan42 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Rumors began to swirl in early March that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, based on the Pascal GPU, would launch on May 27. As we continue to close in on that date and with the special event on the NVIDIA Twitch stream tonight, VideoCardz has obtained what it claims are the first benchmarks of the new card. In addition to speculation that the card will have 8GB of GDDR5X memory running at 5GHz with an unknown number of CUDA cores, we now have scores from 3DMark Firestrike Extreme. The test results show a card with a clock speed of 1860MHz running at 2560x1440 obtaining a test score of 8,959. This score measures higher than GTX 980 Ti cards, and with the expectation that the GTX 1080 will cost less than the GTX 980 Ti, the GTX 1080 becomes an even more attractive option for those looking to upgrade in the near future.
