Looks like 120fps on 1440p with a single card is still a pipedream.

Nice. Can't wait to see what AMD has to offer. For 2560x1080p I think 1070 level of performance would be perfect, but I'm affraid the card will be a poor overclocker. Have to wait for AMD, have to be patient... Arrr...

I got a Asus strix 980ti for 435 today after i saw those benchmarks

Dunno if anyone can answer, but if I buy this new card can my i7 4820k 3.7 ghz cpu continue to work well for me, or will it become a bottlenecking liability soon?

I'm just not seeing myself going to AMD.

I have 150 or so Nvidia 3D Vision games that i enjoy going back to (and still occasionally release new profiles despite the death of 3D) and AMD  simply don't have the bank to partner on game launches , certainly not to the level that Nvidia does or the 7000 series yesteryears where they had their Gaming Evolved promos.

Mantle and TrueAudio...were terribly aborted and unsupported by developers.

I mean they would have completely annihilate competing Nvidia cards as well as pull a change of fortunes where they become uncontested top dogs in the high end for me to consider switching. In the meantime as long as the majority of games favor Nvidia hardware, that's where my wallet will be.

Core i7 4820K is still potent... Sure it might only be a quaddy, but it's still a good quaddy, it would have no issue running multiple Geforce GTX 1080's.

And never worry about Bottlenecks, you will always have them somewhere, even with the best and fastest of everything, they will also change depending on game, scene, settings etc'.

Any news about a mobile 1080m or something? I was planning to buy a new notebook in the next few weeks with a GTX 980m, but now this thing comes around and I wonder if I should wait for notebooks with 1080m... =/

Yeah I agree with this. You don't want it dropping under your ideal framerate under heavy load.

I don't think so. With this card, you are safe for quite a time if you have your PC hooked up to your TV and if it's 1080p TV. You can play at maximum settings and don't have to worry about dropping frames anytime soon if you lock the framerate to 60fps.

Of course it will work well for you. The current progress is to put more load on the GPU and not the CPU but your CPU will be fine, although 4 of these threads are only hyperthreaded.
