The GTX 1080-Ti Thread

I do have excellent case cooling so that will help i suppose

I do agree that the Gigabyte Extreme build quality of the outside of the card could be better

 

without an oc (factory overclock) and below 65 degrees my card hits 2K , unfortunately it seldom runs below 67 after 20 minutes of gaming so at stock 1974 , i have a 30mhz oc which gives me a stable 2k all the time

 

I dont think they are that bad , i mean its not like your throwing around all the time is it?

 

I upgraded my card, i went for EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3
Would you please tell me which settings i should use for the fan control ?
Automatic Fan Control ON or OFF ?
Thank you in advance

 

What do you guys think of the strix regular and the strix oc? I plan to watercool the card...in this case, would anyone still prefer the oc model, for any reason?

 

Depends on what you need, quiet pc or cool card with some noise. What temp you get and what boost clock when you game?

 

I'd like to use this tool, but unfortunately, when EVGA Precision is running, i can't see my Logitech G510S OSD
Any ideas how to do that ??

 

Sorry I can't help with that, didn't use Logitech G510S OSD before.

 

Had a Palit 980ti and then a Palit 1080... great machines
Opted for a little more elitism this time with the Asus Strix 1080ti OC.. and now water cooled.
Will run some tests with my i7-6700K
Over clock everything and try and beat you

 

The OC model should boost a bit better since it's specced to achieve higher clocks but I guess nothing is guaranteed.

 

Dude... hence the word "try" relax

 

Dude I thought it futile as well, I see why he explained it to you.
Perhaps thank him for the effort he put in to save you a lot of effort.

 

Just got rid of the crappy evga 1080ti ftw3 icx 12ghz vram.
1. Loud as hell
2. Crappy gpu with 1924mhz boost (gets lower when running 4k, mid to upper 1800s)
3. Power limit always near 90s%(oc bios!!)
4. Precision xoc sucks big balls

The only good thing is the build quality, before you run the system.

I must have been spoiled by my gigabyte 1080 xtreme, out the box boosts to 2038mhz(I know 1080ti is different, but still 1924mhz is not exactly a good boost for $850 card), power max at lower 80s(torture) and temp RARELY touches 60c, and VERY quiet (and full support by msi afterburner features).

Bonus input: best 1080ti to include the above? Seriously thinking about the 1080ti aorus xtreme!!!

 

I am in two minds about upgrading to this from 2 x 970s. I game at 1080p (144hz), ideally I would need 120fps+ stable in all action heavy games (Siege etc) with all bells and whistles on. Do you guys think its worth the cash right now ?

 

1080 ti is awesome in max gaming 1080p 144hz (even in 1440p 144hz, but to a slight lesser extent).

 

Anywhere from 1900-2000~ is well within normal range even for top end cards, has no bearing on silicon quality.
You can't deduce that the GPU is 'crappy' from that.

Default power limit is 250w does not matter which bios you are using.
The fact that it hits 90% is normal.

If it's too loud and temps are low, set a custom fan curve.
Not hard to do.

 

Just sold a guy at work my Gaming X 1080 for 350$ /w liquid metal on it and went out and upgraded to the 1080ti Gaming X tonight.

So far this thing is actually running cooler in both idle and light load than my 1080 did after applying liquid metal, I haven't tried games yet. Also, one of the two R22 inductors was uncovered when I opened it... is that normal on these cards? I went ahead and applied a thermal pad to it anyway so no big deal I guess.

 

Well then welcome to the club tfam26.
Did you take pictures of your PCB in regard to that inductor?

You surely wont be disapointed with a 1080ti aorus xtreme , i've been very happy with mine and can run @ 2012mhz and only 0.993 volts ,temps never go over 59-60c no throttling at all ,and with a bit more overclocking i can run @ 2050-2063mhz and +450 on the memory but need a more aggressive fan curve though .

 

I did not.

All is well though apparently. I'm getting AC:O temps of about 60c and Middle Earth temps about 2c higher so I'm good I think.

edit: ambients are around 74f
