Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 review: insane gaming and VR power in one graphics card

Nvidia is well into the release of its Pascal chips, and the company is clearly not shying away from delivering high-end power for gamers who want every graphical trick set to max.

At the top of its 10-series lineup is the GeForce GTX 1080. This is the luxury video card for most sane people — although you can get the $1,200 Titan X if you want to make no sacrifices. And, as you might expect, the GTX 1080 delivers beastly performance at $600 (or $700 for Nvidia’s own Founder’s Edition version). It is absolutely the card to consider if you’re looking to build a powerful rig or wanting to upgrade to something that can easily handle all of today’s games as well as VR.
