I'm still getting the run-around from Nvidia. "It will definitely ship today or tomorrow" = every day since last Friday morning. If they don't ship it today, I'm cancelling my order.

I'm so sick of this 28nm, 20nm, 16nm crap - do people really buy their video cards based on the fabrication node?
The best is now that 16nm is here, people have moved the goal post again and complain that the 1080 is "cut down". Duh! This is how NVIDIA does it every year - since the 6xx generation.
Fabrication, cut down, whatever - doesn't matter. Buy on performance and price.
NewEgg is scalping as well on eBay ($799.99), while their own store shows "Out of Stock":

Fucking despicable, if not expected.
Mine just shipped today from NVIDIA. I was kind of upset, as I ordered last Friday.

I couldn't be happier. My goal is always to reach 1080p/60. I fired up every game I currently have installed (roughly about 15) and cranked every detail to the max. AA and proprietary Nvidia nonsense, too. Every single one was pushing over 60fps and never dropping below. A few, like GTA5, can nearly do it in 4K mode as well.
This is the "final 1080p" card and single-card 4K solution I wanted. Obviously it can't push 4K in everything, but with some tinkering and going with more moderate detail settings it can probably come close.
I also appreciate the quiet. Even with the fans going wide open, it's still quieter than my PS4 right beside it.
Willing to try GTA V for me again? When I turn MSAA to 8x I get dips into the thirties with a Titan X @1500mhz with a 1080 screen. Hard for me to believe a 1080 is keeping it above 60fps with max settings.
Sure. I only played it for 3-4 minutes (near Trevor's house) but I was pulling 60fps with nearly everything all the way up in 4K mode. I believe MSAA was only at 2, however.
Not sure I'll have a chance tonight, but I should have time to put it through its paces in the morning.
Cool, I'd appreciate it. I'm not expecting it, but if the 1080 somehow handles AA better than the Titan X on GTA V it would be enough for me to upgrade to a 1080 instead of getting a 1070 for the gf, lol.
Got it installed in my mini-ITX Hadron Air enclosure (tight fit!)...
FYI - for the folks that have 1080 cards and notice your fans randomly firing up at full blast, it's apparently a driver issue.

Not sure if today's WHQL fixes it or not, but I noticed this here and there on mine. I actually thought it was my CPU liquid loop, but it seems it's a 1080 thing.
