Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks
- Thread starter dgrdsv
- Start date
I'd expect most of them should. Surely most companies won't be doing major design work on their coolers, they'll be reworking existing coolers.
VR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does it bother you so much, if people want to spend their money then let them.
Microcenter in the Twin Cities had 12 this morning, all gone. They started selling them last night and had a lot more fes from different aibs, but couldn't see stock counts last night.

Yeah my saint Louis mc had 20 listed in their site this morning. Now I can't find them. They all be gone. But I'm waiting for non reference anyways

Looks fantastic. I just built my first PC a few months ago. Since then, my PS4 hasn't been turned on in 2 months and my Xbox One has been boxed up and is sitting in the back of my closet. Its just that much better of an experience for me.I tried my best to build a pretty PC (my first one)
I think a FE will look great in there
I think the only thing that will get m back to a console anytime soon is a true expansion of Destiny or the release of Destiny II. Otherwise, I am surprised at how I've consolidated all of my gaming needs under one case. Its the very best purchase I've made since I bought my wife's wedding ring.
Sure, but actually maintaining 2 GHz across all types of game loads (obviously not Furmark) still seems pretty challenging, given what the FE clocks down to in some games after 30 minutes.
I guess it's all a matter of what one considers "acceptable temperatures/noise"

Working now was finally able to get mine in.
I think you misunderstood my comment.
I'm just sharing my thoughts on why people should calm down. In less than a month we'll have plenty of stock, reviews and releases from all manufacturers.

Looks awesome! Pretty sure I have the same case (but black) and watercooling setup:
NZXT S340 case and Kraken X61 cooling?

The Strix is looking really strong based on the clocks, but hopefully it stays cool and quiet (and whine-free). With any luck, there'll be some US pre-orders up soon for me to import into Australia. (The UK preorders come in over $1000AU, and imports at that price point attract a 10% customs fee, plus extra for processing.)
It's exciting that cards are apparently only a couple of weeks away, though we'll see how many actually arrive in that window.

Yay, my dark twin brother!
Destiny is my jam! Will keep an eye out for you once the next expansion hits.

Overclockers have a reference card listed as a pre-order for £525, so pretty much in keeping with the original $599 MRP. So those predicting an early adopters tax were right, but it's worse than I predicted as they are literally revealing an identical card on the day of releasing one at £629, so in effect, people are paying £100 premium for a couple of weeks use. That's pretty shameful business and I'm amazed so many people are falling for it.

I finally got that to load but it's "auto notify" now.

Makes 3 of us. Setup is like 10 times quieter than my old fan solution. I've had zero complains so far other than I'm still using a damn 560ti. I've decided to wait for phase 2 cards to come out but ugh I'm tempted to check at my local microcenter this morning.

We've played a few times together actually. Though I haven't been on in a good while. (PSN: is UF_C) All of us Americans sound alike.

is that card better or worse than the FTW?
DDamn it! It won't fit in my BitFenix Prodigy case. 6 inches high is the deal breaker. I guess I'm stuck with Founders Edition
I ordered one of each before the specs loaded, was planning to cancel whichever wouldn't fit in my air 240.
Turns out neither will :| Oh well, at least I can cancel and wait for one of the $610 stock models.
Worse, smaller cooler, 5/1 vs 10/2 and slower clocked.

This gif is so appropriate right now:
It's an excellent case & cooler combo. Temps are great, everything is silent, and the case looks amazing. That 1080 will feel right at home.

Weren't most of those benchmarks showing lower clocks not allowing the fan to go to 100%? I'm surprised more sites didn't allow the fan to go to 100% just to check whether that could maintain 2GHz - we might not use that practically but it would have helped us understand if it was doable.
Custom coolers should be way better - the TDP of the 1080 is lower than the 980ti isn't it? So there is little reason to doubt custom coolers can keep up with cooling the 1080. Of course the proof will be in the benchmarks.
Edit: 150W for the 1070, 180W for the 1080, 250W for the 980ti

Oh I know you!
Right!
Really can´t wait to get back in, but right now I´m all the way out.
Miss the community though.

My Kraken makes some grinding noises though. Apparently it can be fixed. Fingers crossed.
No preorders up in the US yet?
Yes, I don't think cooling will be an issue at all with some of these monsters.
However, tests with 100% or even watercooled FE's ran into the power limit quite quickly in some games, so the question for me is how custom PCBs will fare in that regard.

Prices here in Switzerland start from 850 chf, roughly 820/830 euros for the 1080 FE.
Of course no retailer has it in stock. No point in upgrading from a 980/980ti.

Wait, where is the preorder link for the EVGA 1080 FTW?

Me too, feels bad man. Can someone let me know if they go up on Amazon? Pretty please?

Worse. It's basically a reference board with a new cooler slapped on top. FTW will have a custom board with more power connectors.

Damn it. Oh well, hopefully I'll get the next wave. Are they likely to go up on newegg?
Any gigabyte cards go up?
So that SC has one 8 pin and aftermarket cooler. He got 2100MHZ and was around 76C under stock fan profile. He moved it up to 60% manually which isnt audible and the card ran at 67C. Running Doom maxed at 4K above 60FPS. Yeah I think we are going to see some major shit once all these custom cooled cards are out.

Just FE in US.
So those EVGA cards were just FE?
FTW was up.

So, for the 1080 FTW, if I need my TV hooked up via HDMI, my monitor hooked up via whatever, and my HTC Vive hooked up via HDMI, what am I to do to make that work?
