but the colour
you can pick up Dell's version for about 40-500 quid on overclockers but I'm worried about colours.. 0 -

Ok yes IPS has better viewing angles but when are you going to be looking at a monitor and the side or even looking down on it from above.
Its a classic case of YMMV as different people have different levels of colour perception. People with a tin eye (you know what I mean! :P) won't notice any difference between the two technologies' colour reproduction. Most people will notice, some will percieve it very strongly. Superchromats will practically run screaming from a TN panel even for daily usage, and almost anyone who works in a design has to work with IPS panels as the colour range is perceptibly closer to real-world results.The founders edition falls back to its base clock after 20 mins of intensive gaming

Looks like the boost clock rate is meaningless on this card.
nVidia so smrt. Lolcat levels of smrt. Yes they may be the highest-binned bits of silicon under the hood but without a suitably butch cooler on top of it all that extra potential just goes up in smoke
It really is stupid though: to help reduce the paperness of the paper launch they basically threw away the top-bin GPUs they could have sold to their closer board partners at a significant hike for their top-tier cards. They still got to sell the top-bin at a huge premium but by selling it direct in a format that can't even utilize its capabilities they've just stabbed their own partners in the back as there'll be little to no aftermarket top-bin to throw in the OMGWTFHAX edition cards.
Unless almost all of the Pascal silicon is incredibly awesome quality or they're deliberately underclocking the "standard" GTX1080 and the FoundEd is just non-underclocked regular Pascal dies I imagine EVGA etc. really want to murder nVidia right now... 0 -

Actually, they are smart. Look back over this thread, and there's an almost overnight change from "hopefully looking good" to "omg amazing shuttuptakemymoney" when the "paper launch" articles with miniscule lead times for testing purposes came out: things were timed so that most sites could reproduce the pre written blurb, add in the odd "answer" from the pr team and run a set of limited benchmarks from the date they received cards to the nda lift date, when if they didn't publish their site would get 0 pageviews out of it.
So the wave of hype goes out, and any subsequent problems found in extended testing which contradict the initial PR driven output are only going to cause a problem if there is a total failure. Anandtech is one of the few sites prepared to wait for extensive testing before publishing an official review, but their current policy of "launch day overview" reports basically fulfills the pr team's requirements anyway.
Note that I'm not bashing nvidia here, lots of tech companies adopt the same approach and it's down to bad journalism in the tech sector that they get away with it.
But that's why I basically ignore launch day articles in general and top end product reviews in particular now. They're so effectively pr managed that you're not going to get a true picture of what's going on. "Money no object platform performs well" isn't really a news story I care about.0 -

Supposedly though, the FE cards aren't binned at all. They're totally bog-standard.0 -

I think a lot of people were premature in offloading 980Ti's. I know the 1080 has a better feature set but from a raw performance POV, which is what most people really care about, the Founders Edition vs a highly clocked 980Ti is not really much of an improvement.....you have people that will now be dropping €800 on these having just sold 980ti's for 500 or so.
I was actually trying to sell my 980Ti, but because I wanted to switch to AMD rather than the new cards.

It's interesting that both companies took opposite approaches with their new architecture launches: Nvidia focusing on the high end halo and first mover advantage, and putting off mainstream launches while AMD are doing the exact opposite.
I suspect that reflects where both companies feel they will be best flattered this generation. If AMD can make a genuinely competitive mainstream set of cards ranging from €100-€350 I think that's better for gamers as a whole.0
