"most powerful card every created".....

hahahaha, probably the most EXPENSIVE one too

Whats with the 11GB of vram, seems like an odd amount to me, or possibly just a last minute cost saving move on their part, to up their margin % a tad and show the bean counters that they are looking out for the shareholders...

just plain lame IMHO.....

Again with the "founder's edition" bs....

TheinsanegamerN · Mar 7, 2017

These press releases are so chock full of PR dribble. It's hilarious to read.

Also, I believe the titan XP is more powerful then this, so the title of "most powerful geforce" is suspect.

Eh, it's just a rename of "reference". At least the cost is the same now and there's no overcharge for it.

Are these FE cards different as far as clockspeeds and such between AICs? I see a news article on every one (....), but, they are reference.. the only thing different is the box, right?

Just as before with the 1080, if it's a Founder's Edition, it adheres to NVIDIA's spec; just has stickers and branding from the different OEMs.

But "Reference" still sounds better I think.

11GB is not a weird amount, memory bus has been cut to 11/12, so memory amount as well. Remember 970 4GB fiasco? They rather sell it with 1GB less memory than do some shenanigans and get flak again for lying/poor marketing.

Yeah I read about it. Like with Ryzen and Vega there's always some leaks and stuff and Engineering samples benches but I got nothing. I guess I will have to wait.

ratirt · Mar 10, 2017

Well saw the results on TPU about the 1080Ti and I must say they look awesome. This card in every benchmark was faster than Titan and in 2 some titles in 4k I noticed a gap between them of over 10 FPS's. NV has done a good job comparing to it's previous releases 1080 and Titan cutting the price 40% from titan's value. Although it is still a bit high if you ask me though. Wonder how will Vega do in that case and why NV was so eager to release the card now.
