The GTX 1080-Ti Thread

You're not missing out on any performance.
Most newer titles will perform exactly the same; you'll be GPU limited for a long time.

 

I know that, but the thing that's bugging me is that my X99 build seems to have become unstable and CPU might have gone into degradation. My memory won't run at its 3000MHz XMP anymore, or if it does, not all modules will show up (just 12 or even just 8 out of 16GB), only 2666 still works. Now I don't know if it's the memory controller, but when I tested out each dimm individually there were no issues. So yeah, it might sooner come to be an upgrade out of necessity rather than obsolescence.

As for the my 1080Ti, since I got my Dell S2716DG, I came to realize that my OC wasn't that stable there either, with the high frames and usage I started hitting power cap in demanding games a lot more frequently and it would instant crash. So I had to go for just +100 on core and +600 memory, performance in benchmarks didn't drop that much though, but at least now I'm 100% stable on the GPU side.

 

Highly unlikely you have had degregation unless voltages were really high such as vccsa/vccio/vcore/input voltage etc.

Probably need to retune from scratch.

Disappearing RAM is from post DRAM training, if it detects errors it shuts off the channel.
Above voltages need to be correct and also too tight auto RTL/IO timings can cause that too.

 

I'll have to look into it, thing is that I haven't played around with the system OC for a long time, that's why I thought it weird to have this happening without me changing any settings. The voltages are mostly on auto (RAM had the defaults for its XMP), 1.25 vcore. Maybe this was a culprit too, too much voltage going in on auto, but there were just so many settings and quite frankly I'm not much of an expert when it comes to all the various voltages, hence why I didn't touch them.

To top it all off, my first Rampage V was DOA so I didn't want to fiddle too much with the replacement 3 years ago, because RMA was a pain in the ass and meant me having no PC for 2-3 weeks.

I swear OC was much more straight forward with my 920 and 3770K.

 

got 24 thousand something on my new system, 4560 mhz i7 7800k
I got myself an i7 8700k and an Asus gaming board to complement my 1080ti just to be in this group... Will be doing some 5ghz clocking soon

 

You should make a separate thread then.

Auto voltages are almost never optimal.
In fact, auto likes to raise it above the 'max' recommended voltage.

 

Any idea where those settings are on a Rampage V? I couldn't find them.

 

Upto 25068 now running GPU overcloked and i78700k at 5ghz
I don't now how good my board is, Asus ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming
Will push for 5.5ghz soon
Will push the clocks on my Asus 1080ti as well

 

I ordered the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio, should arrive tomorrrow!

 

Enjoy your new card when it comes ,and welcome to the club ,1080 Ti Gaming X Trio should be a great overclocker with that massive cooler on it

 

The same as any other 1080ti

 

You'll have to be more specific.

What do you think is unsafe?
All the temps listed are 'safe'. PCB, VRM, core etc.

 

I still don't know what you think is unsafe.

The increased clock speeds?
Zotac is not different than any other card out there.

As long as temps aren't 100c nothing is unsafe, besides they throttle before damage will ever occur.

 

which should GPU i buy, guys?. my monitor is 1440p 144hz gsync

 

Can't be that much of a difference between the 1070Ti and the regular 1080 and for the above GPU models I would probably have gone with the regular (The non-super) 1070Ti Jetstream, ~100 Mhz doesn't seem worth whatever price premium that's likely been added to the other model when you can overclock it yourself without too much difficulty.

EDIT: But hitting 144 FPS at 2560x1440 isn't going to be easy in some of the newer games if you're going after that, G-Sync helps a bit but 100+ FPS at 2560x1440 is tough on most graphics cards on the market even if it's not 4K (3840x2160) just to mention it.

Benchmarks might help, look at what the performance figures of 1070Ti and the 1080 are at 2560x1440 for the games you're interested in and that might help a bit, 60+ is probably not too difficult but breaching 100 is a bit tougher even for this display resolution.

 

ok thanks for the answer.

Frist, sorry cause my bad english.cause im vietnamese.

but as you said, hard to hit 144fps at 1440p, yeah, i knew it and im saw the benchmark on youtube.

so if i choose 1070ti, which monitor can i buy?

27 inch 1440p 144hz gsync or 25 inch 1080p 240hz freesync or just a 1440p 60hz?

thank you very much again

 

That is what I would recommend.

27 inch is a good size for 2560x1440

2560x1440 is still a good upgrade over 1920x1080

G-Sync allows for a overall smoother experience thanks to it's hardware even if you aren't hitting the full 144 frames with VSync, it's a bit technical but from all I heard it's a great feature.

120hz or higher (144hz in this case.) is a clear upgrade over 60hz and will result in a smoother image, combined with the G-Sync technology these are really good upgrades over previous monitors.


I'm trying to keep the explanation a bit short and without too much technical terms but that's what I would recommend and a bit of a explanation as to why.

If you are upgrading the monitor together with the GPU you should make it a full upgrade if it's not too expensive thus G-Sync and going above 60hz refresh rate.
G-sync will definitively complement the GPU and 144hz is a big improvement over 60hz.

 

Framerate is a big question though since it can vary heavily from one game to another and then overall optimization and many other technical factors, trying not to make this too complicated but you are probably aware of this already.
(Even the 1080Ti GPU can see performance drops in some games for example even with it's otherwise very high performance level.)

From a few searches the 1070Ti and 1080 GPU's are capable of hitting almost 80 FPS in some of the newest games at 2560x1440 but that's with everything maxed out too and that's also where G-Sync works really well.
Lower something like shadows one notch also tends to see large gains in framerate so that's always a option, there's usually not a big difference visually either.


But from how I see it 2560x1440 is a good fit for the 1070 (And 1070Ti) and 1080 GPU's allowing them to really use their hardware plus it's a nice improvement over 1920x1080 without being as demanding as 3840x2160.
G-Sync is a really big upgrade (Has to be seen or experienced for full effect.), costs a bit more though but well worth it from everything I have read about this technology.
As is leaving 60hz behind and going for 144hz for the refresh rate, much smoother due to faster transitions or updates between frames.

And size wise I find 27 inch to be a pretty good form factor for 2560x1440


EDIT: The monitor can also last until the next GPU upgrade so it would be a good investment even long-term.

 

wow, i really suprise with your answers, hihi

its amazing, its very helpful with me in this case.
thank you very much again, and hope see you soon in next month with my new problem in the gpu and monitor. Thanks alot

 

"The fastest one you can afford" is the only answer ever needed.
