so its a month early, but do you think ethminer will be able to support the new GTX 1080 and 1070? They are CRAZY powerful and efficient. I'm excited

Don't expect miracles from the 10x0 wrt ETH mining. The memory bandwidth is about on par with the 980Ti, so unless they have made fundamental changes to the memory controller, resulting in better random access bandwidth, it will be just about as fast. But because of its compute power, a dual-algo miner with ETH (like Claymore's for AMD) seems the best use of its resources.

well i currently have a GTX 980, so I guess it would be an update for me. I primarily game though, and mine overnight, so its a win win. I hope maybe these new cards with the new drivers make Windows 10 mining issues a thing of the past? or do you foresee me still having to boot into windows 7 or linux

That's what I'm also most curious of. All i know is that Nvidia engineers are aware of the issue. See this comment: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/878455/cuda-programming-and-performance/gtx750ti-and-buffers-gt-1gb-on-win7/post/4842553/#4842553

I'm afraid that if they have to solve this on a hardware level, Pascal came too early. But it could also be that Pascal's TLB is already larger by design because of the larger RAM support. We'll see. If the problems persist, the driver hack currently used on Win10 will become almost impossible, as Pascal wasn't around when WDDM 1.x drivers were.
