According to Tech Times, GTX 1080 doubles the performance of GeForce GTX Titan X, which is still the top dog until the launch of upcoming GTX 1080 this month. GTX 1080 is also more powerful than a pair of GTX 980s running in SLI.

GTX 1080 and 1070 are said to run on Nvidia's new Pascal GP104 architecture. The two are using the new 16nm FinFET TSMC manufacturing process. It means that they will provide more efficiency and power in comparison to the previous 28nm process found on cards of Maxwell.
