Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 - Nvidia has finally unleashed its new Pascal GPU architecture, promising to beat the Titan X’s frame rates into a pixellated pulp, and without eating a banquet of watts from your mains supply. The new card not only sees Nvidia using 16nm transistors for the first time, but it’s also Nvidia’s debut with GDDR5X memory. What’s more, Nvidia has taken a gamble on the popularity of its reference designs, marketing the new reference PCB and cooler as premium goods under the ‘Founders Edition’ banner. Can a single graphics card really be worth £619 inc VAT? Can it properly handle 4K gaming? Can you overclock it? Can it play Crysis? All these questions and more are answered in our full review.
