Just two short weeks ago we got our first taste of what Nvidia's upcoming GeForce 10 series has to offer, as we were finally able to reveal the GeForce GTX 1080 benchmarks. Touted as a replacement for the GTX 980, the 1080 proved to be a considerable upgrade, offering around 60% more performance without the trade-off of increased power consumption...

The improved efficiency is what impressed us the most, as the 1080 delivered a performance per watt ratio previously unseen. Of course dropping down to the 16nm FinFET process was expected to deliver greater efficiency, but even so we weren't expecting such huge improvements coupled with such a massive performance increase.
