Nvidia is set to announce their new Pascal-based GeForce graphics cards Friday night (6pm PT via Twitch), including a flagship card that's expected to be called the GTX 1080. But before Nvidia can even reveal the specifications of the card, leaked 3DMark benchmarks have been posted by VideoCardz.

In 3DMark 11's performance benchmark, the purported GeForce GTX 1080 posted a graphics score of 27,683, while in 3DMark's Fire Strike Extreme benchmark, the card scored 10,102. Compared to a stock-clocked GTX 980 Ti, the GTX 1080's performance is around 25% faster, although overclocking the 980 Ti can close that gap.

3DMark gives us a sneak peak of the card's specifications, too. We're looking at 8 GB of GDDR5X with an effective clock speed around 10,000 MHz (320 GB/s), and a core clock speed that can boost up to a huge 1.8 GHz. The GPU featured on the GTX 1080's board is a Pascal-based GP104 built on a 16nm process, so it's not the fully unlocked GP100 seen on the Tesla P100.

I know... still I never believe in official announcements or leaks, until some proper drivers come out and Techspot or AnandTech benchmark those new cards
Those 2 and Guru3D :)
The 1080 will probably be a nice card, but I'm waiting for the Ti version since I doubt that a none Ti will be a proper upgrade.

I will be watching the official announcement though, there might be some new stuff that next gen supports.

630? :eek: That wouldn't be able to feed my display at native resolution, definitely not with the games I play.

I mostly play counter strike go and indie games really well at 1080 with medium graphics. For me it is enough but i wanted to upgrade it for more recent games. If anyone knows a good deal tell me.

If you can afford it upon price-dumps go for a GTX970, R9 290x or R9 390x (just including AMD to be fair), dependent on the rest of your hardware it should allow you to max out at 1080p and even at 1440p with some newer games.
