NVIDIA has been working hard to progress forward their new Pascal family of GPUs ever since their announcement at Dreamhack in May 2016 in my hometown, Austin, TX. The announcement included two of NVIDIA’s newest GPUs, the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, both of which are somewhat available now. I worked with my colleague, Anshel Sag, to review the GTX 1080 and found it to be a fantastic GPU both in terms of performance and enthusiast value at that time. However, there were many software features announced along with the new Pascal family of GeForce GTX GPUs that hadn’t quite been ready yet but were major capabilities that elevated the GeForce GTX family.  I thought those software capabilities deserved some extra attention and is important to me as any company who can get solution stickiness versus hardware progress becomes more important to the ecosystem. This is true for any tech product and solution. I also want to comment on the GTX 1060, NVIDIA’s latest card, priced from $249-299.
