NVidia 1080 GTX announced
-
It looks like xmas came early this year...
nVidia annouced their new flagship gfx card, the 1080GTX, reportedly faster than 2x 980's in SLI and faster than the Titan X, at a much more affordable price point!
-
Wow! $600.
That's half a Titan.

and the 1070 GTX (still plenty fast) at US $379!

Does anyone know if this 1080 card will accelerate the copying and pasting of objects(complex) in Sketchup. I guess it has something to do with ram(
), but I'm not sure if SU uses the computers ram or the one form the graphics card. I'm now working with a 980gtx and my pc has 32gb ram, but SU still is "laggy" sometimes....thanks!!
-
sketchup may be laggy because it only uses 1x CPU, multi CPU (multicore CPU) currently don't help much with the performance of SU. Higher clock speeds on CPU will help though, from your current config I don't now if the 1080GTX will help to speed up SU much, unless you're doing GPU based rendering perhaps it may be worth looking into...
-
thanks Juju...whish SU will support multicores...
At least this saves me some money! -
Thinking about an upgrade myself as well. Nvidia's PR machine is doing great but will wait until the gtx1070 and 1080 are thoroughly tested. Some gtx1080's are reported to make 'noise waves' even while at constant temperature and I still remember articles of coil whine problems with one brand on the 9xx line.
-
Those are very fine GPU's Titan X has more 4Gb though... It's 4Gb more of a lot of things. I will rather wait for the new Titan version wich is rumored to have 24Gb
-
Just bought the card and installed it. First impression, it's fast and I really notice a difference in handling complex models. Especially copying complex groups/component is much much faster compared to my 'old' gtx 980.
Happy with it!

thanks for the feedback! did you get the 1080 or 1070? do you perhaps have benchmarks to illustrate the gain for SketchUp?
-
No thanks Juju. I bought the Evga gtx 1080 founders edition and can't really show benchmarks that have to do with SU. Within SU it is more a matter of 'feeling'. But my biggest annoyance in SU is the mega slow copying of compex groups and this seems to go much faster now...
