Just a day ahead of the rumored unveil, we have some of the first benchmark results of the upcoming Geforce GTX 1080 graphics card based on the new Nvidia Pascal GP104 GPU.
Although we have seen plenty of details earlier, the precise number of CUDA cores on the GTX 1080 GP104-400 GPU is still unknown, but according to latest details, it will come with 8GB of GDDR5X memory clocked at 2,500MHz (10,000MHz effective). Paired up with a 256-bit memory interface, this adds up to a total memory bandwidth of 320GB/s.

The Geforce GTX 1070, based on the GP104-200 GPU, will probably end up with a lower CUDA core number and come with 8GB of slower GDDR5 memory, clocked at 2000MHz (8GHz effective). With the same 256-bit memory interface, this still adds up to a decent 256GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Judging by the first 3DMark 11 results posted by Videocardz.com, the upcoming Geforce GTX 1080 is quite a beast, getting a 27,683 graphics score in the Performance preset and a 10,102 graphics score in the FireStrike Extreme benchmark.

The Performance preset graphics score puts it above overclocked GM200-based graphics cards, which usually end up with a score of anywhere between 23,000 and 25,000. The same thing goes for the Extreme preset as well, as overclocked Geforce GTX 980 Ti scores about 8,700 points in the same benchmark.

It is not clear which drivers were used for testing and the score will probably end up a bit higher as Nvidia further tweaks those drivers. Of course, these are still just 3DMark benchmarks and we would rather see some gaming performance but that will have to wait a bit longer.

It is also worth nothing that the 3DMark does not read the GPU clocks correctly but the driver recognizes the GTX 1080 graphics card.

Hopefully, we will hear a lot more details about the new Geforce GTX 1080/1070 graphics cards tomorrow.
