Honestly it looks like a winner to me. I've seen people complaining on other forums that it's not fast enough (compared to a 980Ti) but it looks like that to me, especially at 1440p and 4k.

Now if only more games supported SLI :)

I'm hearing that the new direct X 12 driver is seeing major gains with Doom and Hitman.
Quote:
"What did we actually see? Well, the most dramatic gain that we noted was in Vulkan DOOM where our GTX 1080 went from 77.6 average fps at 3440×1440 to 98.2 fps!'

The second most dramatic gain was 75.6 fps to 86.4 fps in Hitman at 3440×1440. We also noted good gains with Ashes of the Singularity and with The Division."

It's not like this performance wasn't predictable from Titan XP reviews.

I guess you could be disappointed if you expected 980 Ti -> 1080 Ti to be as meaningful as 580 -> 780 Ti. But this was a much quicker transition, and with a smaller price increase.

So these things only clock to 2030 instead of 2100? I'm returning this pile of junk. OK no I'm not.

I'm wondering: Would my 2700K @ 4.4GHz hold this card back a lot if I were to play at mostly 1440p (DSR)? Would be interesting to see benchmarks for the 1080 ti on different CPUs and CPU speeds.

Maybe some in CPU heavy games, but for the most part I think you'd be fine. Bottlenecking comes in degrees so you'd probably be bottlenecked to some small degree.

Yeah, I suppose you are right. And I expect Richard from DigitalFoundry will soon have up his Ryzen video (presumably with a 1080 Ti). I hope he as usual includes older CPUs. And also includes 1440p benchmarks this time.

So where are the custom cooled cards?
