The GTX 1080 is Nvidia's latest top-end graphics card, ready to take on this year's two-pronged assault of VR and 4K gaming.
If you’re wondering why Nvidia's made such an enormous song and dance out of a consumer graphics card launch, it’s because the company spent ‘billions’ on getting its new architecture to market and now has to make the numbers add up. Both financially and in GPU performance.
The performance of the GTX 1080 really isn’t in doubt – a company like Nvidia wouldn’t launch its flagship graphics card without full confidence that it’ll do a good job. I can say right now that this is the best GPU you can buy.
The real intrigue, and something we won’t see resolved for a few months, will come from how it compares to the rest of the market – both third-party 1080 cards and whatever AMD hits back with.
