In our testing the Skull Canyon delivered a silky smooth 50–60fps in the popular online shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and a smooth 30-35fps in Borderlands 2.

Known as Iris Pro 580, it has 72 execution units and 128MB of super-fast eDRAM memory versus the Iris 6100 graphics in the Rock Canyon which has 48 execution units and no local memory. What really makes the Skull Canyon special though it is integrated graphics. For instance, in the 3D rendering benchmark Cinebench the Skull Canyon was nearly twice as fast as the Rock Canyon, scoring a very credible 703 versus 356 for the older NUC. The latter is powered by the Core i7 5557U, which is a Broadwell-based dual-core chip running at between 3.1 and 3.4GHz. Powered by a Core i7 6770HQ, which is a Skylake-based quad-core chip running at between 2.6 and 3.5GHz, the Skull Canyon has a lot more processing power than the previously fastest NUC, the Rock Canyon. The Skull Canyon looks good too, and is supplied with two tops, one with an engraved skull on the roof that will appeal to gamers and a plainer lid for office environments. For instance, theFractal Design Node 202 measures in at 377 x 82 x 330mm and so has a volume of 10 litres while the Skull Canyon has a volume of just 1 litre. It measures an extremely svelte 216 x 116 x 23mm, putting mini-ITX cases that can house a discrete graphics card to shame. Now that stock has arrived we wanted to have a play with it and share our findings with you.įirst of all, as the pictures really don’t do it justice I’d like to make clear that the Skull Canyon really is tiny.

You can pick from a wide range of GTX 1080 cards on the Scan website, plus our range of configurable and pre-built ready-to-ship 3XS gaming PCs. With more cards arriving every day, including overclocked models with custom coolers and Doom (4) proving surprisingly awesome it’s a great time to be a PC gamer. While the GTX 1080 has arrived at a higher price point than the GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti its outstanding performance has already made it a best seller, with the first batch of cards selling out within minutes of the launch.

Despite this amazing performance the GTX 1080 is very frugal when it comes to power consumption, with the reviewers at HEXUS finding that it drew just 229W when gaming, compared to 296W for a GTX 980 Ti. That said, while the GTX 1080 does deliver a silky smooth frame rate in most games at 4K it still struggles in a few games such as Rise of the Tomb Raider. The GTX 1080 is the first graphics card to make use of a new memory type – GDDR5X, which runs at 10Gbps, 30% faster than the standard GDDR5 you would find on the equivalent Maxwell card.Īt the high resolutions such as 2560 x 14 x 2160 that it’s optimised for the GTX 1080 is around 46% faster than the GTX 980 Ti which is truly astounding.

The GTX 1080 has 2,560 CUDA cores, a big step up from the 2,048 of the GTX 980 plus they run much faster too, at 1,607MHz versus 1,126MHz while only having a little higher TDP of 180 versus 165W. In simple terms using smaller transistors means higher density GPUs with more processing power but with extremely low power consumption, thus giving greater levels of performance per watt than ever before. This means the transistors are far smaller than in the current Maxwell generation GPUs such as the GTX 980, which are made using a 28nm process. The GTX 1080 is already on-sale, with the GTX 1070 coming very soon.įirst, and most importantly both cards are based on a new architecture, codenamed Pascal and are made using a new 16nm FinFET process.

And while the performance should improve by the time F1 2016 and game-ready drivers are finally released, it’s already running really nicely.After months of rumours and speculation, NVIDIA has announced its next generation gaming graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070.

The game’s local distributor, Bandai Namco, sent over a preview key a few days ago and I’ve been happily running the game through its paces. It’s a more modern version of what was used in Dirt Rally last year, and the British developers had a talk at GDC this year about the extra bells and whistles they’d be bringing to the table with DirectX 12. But we’ve been given access to a preview build of the game, and it’s running really nicely so far.į1 2016 is running on the latest version of Codies’ EGO Engine.

Codemasters’ latest iteration of their F1 series doesn’t hit store shelves until the middle of next month.
