It's never been a better time to be a PC gamer. Hardware is getting both cheaper and more powerful, most big-budget console games are making it to PCs (where they also look better), and the rise of virtual reality offers a tempting upgrade target. NVIDIA, one of the pioneering graphics card designers, is taking full advantage of this revitalized PC gaming market with the GeForce GTX 1080, its latest powerhouse GPU. It's the first consumer card built on the company's Pascal architecture, and most intriguingly, NVIDIA claims the $599 video card ($699 for the special "Founder's Edition") is faster than the Titan X, which goes for upwards of $1,000. After testing it out over the past week, I can say the 1080 is clearly something special.
