Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card reviewed

Pascal is here. After a long, long stop at the 28-nm process node, Nvidia is storming into a new era of graphics performance with a freshly-minted graphics architecture manifested on TSMC's 16-nm FinFET process. Forget the modest introduction of Maxwell on board the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. The first consumer Pascal graphics card—the GeForce GTX 1080—is a high-performance monster that's so fast, it's practically warping the high-end graphics card market in its wake.
