Could someone clarify if they meant that one 1080 is faster than two 980s in SLI? Or did they mean two 1080s were faster than two 980s?


From the article:

> The performance of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1080 is just off the charts. NVIDIA’s CEO, Jen-Hsun, mentioned at the announcement that the GeForce GTX 1080 is not only faster than one GeForce GTX 980 but it crushes two 980s in SLI setup.


He meant one 1080 is faster than two 980s in SLI, but that seems pretty hard to believe; we're going to need to wait for some 3rd party reviews.


I might believe 980s but not 980tis. That would be a feat


1080 should be a bit faster than a single 980Ti or as fast as an overclocked 980Ti which would put it pretty much at 980 SLI performance.


> a bit faster than a single 980Ti

From the article, I got the impression that the difference was like night and day. I wonder when we will be getting some early real-world benchmarks.
