7:26: GeForce GTX 1080 takes a $100 price cut immediately

7:27: This brings the GTX 1080 MSRP down to $499

7:28: GTX Titan X Pascal given away to 5 audience members

Nvidia GGC 1

7:30: Nvidia is working to make real-time cinematic rendering in video games

7:31: Gameworks creating photorealism with shadows and global illumination

Nvidia GGC 2

7:32: All of these features were brought to fruition with the Pascal architecture and combined it into a single engine

7:34: DX 12 allows this engine to be run on every compatible platform and took 500 engineering years

7:35: This brings Gameworks which was DX 11 limited previously onto DX 12

7:36: Talking about simulating physics for liquids which are particles while gasses are closer to a 3D grid

Nvidia GGC 3

7:39: With DX12 Gameworks, the simulations are self-shadowing and running in real time and interact with the environment

7:41: Lots of jokes being made

7:42: Nvidia is interleaving rendering with simulation at the same time in one engine. He’s talking about asynchronous compute which is fully arriving on Pascal with DX12

7:45: Teasing card faster than Titan X and 35% faster than the GTX 1080, the Ultimate GeForce

7:45: Nvidia launched GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Nvidia GGC 4

7:48: 3584 CUDA cores, 11GB of VRAM and 11Gbps

Nvidia GGC 5

7:49: 11GB chosen due to massive increased in VRAM usage

7:50: Tiling cache and compression to maximize the usage of bandwidth, same technologies we’ve seen already in Pascal

Nvidia GGC 6

7:53: Very nice Paragon rendering demo

7:55: Cooler has been doubled in surface area and vastly improved power delivery

Nvidia GGC 7

7:58: GTX 1080 Ti comes next week for just $699

Nvidia GGC 8

7:59: Card is in full production already and numerous demo units at the event

8:00: That’s a wrap folks, look forward to our post-event coverage coming right up
