Ahh, gotcha, thanks, that is one thing that should never change. :-) Oh, and am typing this from my freshly minted new computer, Computer 8012837. I have Coretemp installed on it, you should see the taskbar, I had to expand it up one extra level, and it still takes about half of it, running at 1024x786 res, and when I open it up, it is taller than the screen. Not sure about how much vid memory this SuperMicro board has on it, so don't want to push it too far, but man, thatsa lotsa cores.. :-D |

Grr, thought that the SSE3 was recommended first, oh well, will try this one since it's installed, and then uninstall it and try the AVX version when I install the video card. There were 2 sections that I could choose those options, one as MB and the other was.. I forget, but regardless, I chose SSE3 for both of them, was this correct? |

I am going to stop polluting this GTX 1080 thread with my new build questions, and will start a new thread about my new system. |

On a personal note, I currently think Dave's reported GTX 1080 throughput on the Einstein GRP6 application (in CUDA55 form--which despite the beta name has been out for many months and is what all serious participants with remotely modern nvidia GPUs run) is representative. Given the greatly reduced hope that gives me for possible Einstein productivity of the 1080, and the loss of the possible value to others of my early reporting of results, I cancelled my (backordered) order for a FE 1080. I currently plan to order a 1070 pretty quickly after they become available. Most likely by then people here will have had other folks' results to look at, but if not, I'll be happy to do some trials of interest here. Else I'll stick closer to the Einstein pasture. One thing I thought I learned in the 970/980 days is that the then current Einstein code was not so successful in using additional parallel resources offered by the bigger versions in a given generation as one might hope. If losing the "X" designation on the memory does not hurt too much, it may be that the 1070 will perform at Einstein at a pretty high fraction of the 1080 level, which would make the considerably lower price more attractive to me. |

The 1070 review NDA has expired, and lots of reviews are now posted. |

Wow, as far as gaming is concerned it's at least as good as the 980Ti & Titan X. So I guess $449 for the FE ain't bad... for gaming of course. It's also rated @150W as opposed to 250W for the other two. @$379 MSRP looking even better if available anytime soon. wccftech did a review roundup again (no TPU or Anand yet): http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-review-round-up/ and for convenience a couple previously posted links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units#GeForce_10_Series http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1070 also the GTX 1080 driver is out (368.25 WHQL): http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/103610/en-us (Windows 10 64-bit link) |

Dayum, so 1070 is possibly a 970/980(non-ti) upgrade at half-ish the initial price?. That's impressive. Going to have to hold off upgrade plans until this all settles down myself :) "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

Dayum, so 1070 is possibly a 970/980(non-ti) upgrade at half-ish the initial price?. Beard stroking commences. I think my Mac Pro would handle feeding that, but then I'd have to put Windows 10 on it. Definitely a disruptive thing. (I like it so far) "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

Dayum, so 1070 is possibly a 970/980(non-ti) upgrade at half-ish the initial price?. My computer parts dealer had 5 gtx1080's on shelf. I ordered one. Should take 1-3 days to arrive.The card is Inno3D Founder Edition (aka slow). 799€.

799€. Yeah, Close to $1300 Australian, for blower sucker early adopter style fan is a bit rich for me. "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all. And unlike most advice, it's backed up by proofs." -- Algorithms to live by: The computer science of human decisions. |

799€. Perrrkele... ;) My thoughts exactly, but one can not help himself when something this interesting is available. If the performance/noise/temps/power do match the price I can send it back.

I'm very curious as to what the 1060 and even the 1050 will perform like, as well as power consumption. In the blurbs I've been reading about pascal, best rumour I've heard is late summer/early fall, anyone see anything else mentioned about them? |
