I got a 1080 working with VS 2015 (via the CUDA 8 beta). However, I strongly recommend using VS 2013. Frustratingly, CUDA VS 2015 support does not extend to the latest Visual Studio update level. So, to use CUDA I had to forgo the latest versions of useful extensions (e.g. Python Tools) and even forgo MS software updates (e.g. for SQL Studio, which apparently auto-installed the latest VS updates).
