The GTX 1080 has nowhere near that much, I don't even think it has half that. Perhaps big Pascal is the GPU that we should all be really excited about.
I'm pretty excited about what the 1070/1080s bring to market.
1080s are the most legitimate single GPU for 4K to date.
I'm kind of torn as to what to do. The GTX 1080 is clearly overkill for 1080p gaming. So that leaves me the GTX 1070 which I am kind of interested in. I was planning my next GPU upgrade around my transition to 4k. I just don't know what to do any more though. I would clearly enjoy the GTX 1070 for 1080p gaming until I upgrade my TV to 4k, however I want an HDR set and they are way too expensive right now.
Titan X performance is very tempting for me so I will be closely watching the Polaris launch. If it can compete with the GTX 1070 then perhaps we can have a price war and some good deals. Then I will be in for sure!
