Any interest moving to new Geforce 1070/1080 models ?

Oh yeah? What games? :P

I've got my eye on the 1070 for this IPS 1440p monitor. Maybe I'll get a new monitor at some point too for some 8-bit or 10-bit color.

I wish IPS 1440p GSync monitors were cheaper (and more reliable). :(

I'm perfectly happy with my 980Ti for gaming, but when a full UHD bluray solution for PC is available, I'll have to find a way to upgrade for HDCP 2.2 (unless that solution includes redfox). That will be a pain because I have my 980Ti liquid cooled, so I guess I'll have to reattach the original cooler before I could sell it.

I have this monitor:

My brother told me how great it was and I just couldn't help myself!

Honestly I can run pretty much everything maxed out right now anyway so it's kind of silly to upgrade, but it's just been so long I might have to do it anyway!

They are already here.  :)


--- Quote ---1 - Due to HDMI 2.0 limitation, 2160p50 or 60 with RGB 444 at 10 bits is not possible

That is why I use DisplayPort for 2160p60 RGB 10bits. I use a BenQ BL2711U monitor.


--- Quote ---2 - Even if 10 bits option is available in the Nvidia Control Panel, this options seems working only for pro cards (quadro)

Like Hendrik said, 10-bit works fine on any Geforce card.


--- Quote ---From your point of view, what is the best and the bad between;

2160p60 - RGB 444 - 8 bpc
2160p60 - RGB 422 - 10 bpc
2160p60 - RGB 420 - 10 bpc

There is no such thing as RGB 422 or 420. RGB is always 444. YCbCr is 444, 422, or 420. Typically, the best output from a graphics card is always RGB - even if it is 8 bit. You can use the colorspace pattern on the Spears and Munsil Blu-ray Calibration disc to determine if there is any noticeable difference.

There is a limitation somwhere using my GTX 970.
For those who tested new Nvidia cards (1080 / 1070), are they capable to output 10 or 12 bits above 30Hz ( @2160p RGB 444) ?

For HDR content I would avoid the GC downgrade from 10 bits or more to 8 bits (even if MadVr dithering does a good job here).

The GTX 970 and the 1070/1080 all support the same resolutions and bit-depths via HDMI. This is limited to 2160p RGB 60Hz 8-bit. This is because the maximum bandwidth of HDMI 2.0/2.0b is 18 Gbps.

The GTX 970 has DisplayPort 1.2 and the GTX 1070/1080 support DisplayPort 1.4. DisplayPort 1.2 has a maximum bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps. This means the GTX 970 can support 2160p RGB 60Hz at 10 bit. DisplayPort 1.4 has a maximum bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps and can support 2160p at 12 bits.
