Nvidia Pascal Reviews [1080XP, 1080ti, 1080, 1070ti, 1070, 1060, 1050, and 1030]

I am not so sure how valid the data points from LN2 cooling are. I would go with water cooling at max.

Yeah pretty limited but more about the extremes the die can be put through.
But one interesting point was earlier on Tin thought they would never get close to 3GHz even with LN2.
Seems there is still a fair bit of a learning curve with the 16nm die and Boost3.

Edit:
The other important point is that professional OCers like Kingpin/Tin/etc seem to be more interested with LN2 rather than anything else, so unfortunately this still has to be used.

TechPowerUp 1070 review
AMD's upcoming Polaris cards will be nowhere near the GTX 1070 in terms of performance. Rather, expect RX 480 to perform about 20-30% slower. But AMD's $199 pricing for the 480 could stir things up, so if you don't need a new card immediately, maybe wait a few weeks and see how things pan out, which would also allow you to see how the custom GTX 1070 designs by board partners turn out. The GeForce GTX 1070 will be available online and in stores today, but stock is probably limited, so if you want to pull the trigger, pull it fast.

Arstechnica 1070 review:
For most people, the GTX 1070 could be overkill: you need to be running a 1440p monitor, multiple displays, or be an e-sports player that craves high FPS at lower resolutions in order to get the most out of it. After all, the most popular screen resolution on Steam remains 1080p, and is swiftly followed by the laptop-friendly 1366x768.

Open testbench, in a climate controlled room. And the fans running at 2.1k RPM. And all that with a triple fan card. And more voltage regulators -> Much higher power consumption.

Not really impressive.

Huh, isn't the max fan speed 1580 RPM, with a gpu clock at 2114 rpm in the Witcher 3 demo?
Triple fan, + voltage regulators, + power consumption all go in hand with AIB custom offerings.

I appreciate JayzTwoCents is not everyones cup of tea but he did do a full test comparing his open bench to a traditional PC case setup using the 1080 (the custom MSI version and not the blower-vent type that expel heat from the case).
And ironically the PC case setup ran about 2degrees cooler.
Some can argue that in warmer climates/hottest days of summer these results may differ, still not a given they would as it is about greater airflow around the cards that a well designed case (he used a mid-tower and not even a full verison) with fans offer, which comes across in his test.

Cheers

Edit:
Caveat being that this is of course in context of a single card.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GAMING review
Due to the many limiters and hardware protections Nvidia has built in all and any cards will hover roughly at or just over the 2 GHz on the Boost marker. That frequency will differ per game/application. On 3DMark Firestrike for example it may hover at ~2000 MHz, while in Rise of the Tomb Raider (2016) you will be closer towards 2.1 GHz. The reality is that Nvidia monitors and adapts to hardware specific loads, e.g. an application that is nearly viral like on the GPU will have the effect of the GPU protecting itself by lowering clocks and voltages. The opposite applies here as well, if a game does not try & fry that GPU, it'll clock a bit faster within the tweaked thresholds at your disposal. Tweaking is fun, but definitely more complicated anno 2016. The memory can reach 11 Gbps effectively, I have seen some card even reach 1.2 GHz/Gbps. Pascal GPUs do like their memory bandwidth though, so if you can find a high enough stable tweak, definitely go or it if you are seeking that last bit of extra performance. For the G1 Gaming we reached a stable 2088 MHz on the boost frequency and a terrific effective data-rate) of 11404 MHz on the memory.
