Well the Asus 1080 Strix is 900 on Spain ...
Damn...
I saw a couple of non-FE cards for 880 at pccomponentes this morning, but now they are gone.
Amazon.es has the FE for 776.

Looks to be an issue with the 1080 being stuck at 1.25volts at first glance apparently.
You can't setup a custom fan curve for the two PWM fans that you can connect to the graphics card yet, all BIOS controlled. It's not like this is a genius, revolutionary idea anyway - you could do the same thing (regulating case fans based on GPU temperature) with SpeedFan on any card for ages.
Tranlsated summary:
- 10+ in comparison to FE
- ~15% performance boost at same level of noise
- idle fans during desktop use / low usage
- RGB lightning
- 4w more power draw than FE during desktop use due to higher clocks
- size is a concern; 3cm longer than FE; 2,5cm surplus over the PCIe blend; slightly more than 2 slots high
Interesting tidbit: they said another partner card is already on its way to their office.
Fans at idle/desktop is a deal breaker I think. Hope other cards are passive at idle. I think EVGA ones say they are
What I mean with "Idle fans" is exactly what you're looking for (I think). The fans don't spin until the card reaches a certain temp/load. Sorry for poor wordingFans at idle/desktop is a deal breaker I think. Hope other cards are passive at idle. I think EVGA ones say they are

Videocardz on Computer Base review of the Asus Strix 1080 - http://videocardz.com/60631/asus-rog-strix-geforce-gtx-1080-offers-poor-overclocking
Is that right? While I thought it was a decent overclock out of the box, it seems like it doesn't get much higher than 2.0Ghz
Still, Maxwell does much higher overclocks on stock volts.It was the same story with Maxwell. We'll have to flash the card with a custom BIOS in order to get past the voltage lock.
Comparison of custom GeForce GTX 1080 PCBs on videocardz
Between the 10, 11, 12 and 14 phase power boards, the actual implementation is probably of more interest than the number of phases, however for non-LN2 overclocks, I doubt there will be much real world difference in overclockability (pure speculation on my part, based on history).
I assume we will see another wave (or two) of further customized cards, since these are the ones looking to meet time-to-market requirements for close-to-launch availability.
Are there any reviews on the MSI Gaming X card? After hearing about the Strix i'm pretty disappointed.
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 XTREME GAMING is designed for VR
Strix's biggest advantage is time to market. If it'll be the same as is was with 980Ti then the best cards will be Gigabyte's Xtreme and MSI's Lightning.
Still, Maxwell does much higher overclocks on stock volts.
Most cards hit 1400 without going past stock volts, on mine I can hit 1400 without touching voltage at all. Equivalent OC on the 1080 would be 2.3 GHz.
Boost clock on the 980 is 1216 MHz, so going up to 1400 MHz is just a ~200 increase.
Boost clock on the 1080 is 1733, and most cards seem to handle 2000+ just fine. That's an increase of ~300.

We haven't had enough reviews of the different cards yet.What's the general consensus on the best 1080 so far for performance and cost?
Not had the chance to look in to each one individually.
Cheers guys![]()
Whats NVFlash?Boost clock on the 980 is 1216 MHz, so going up to 1400 MHz is just a ~200 increase.
Boost clock on the 1080 is 1733, and most cards seem to handle 2000+ just fine. That's an increase of ~300.
NVFlash with Pascal support was released just hours ago, so it shouldn't be too long until we get some really interesting overclock results. Hopefully![]()

When are they going to release 1080ti?
Whats NVFlash?
I am an AMD owner as well... are these things really necessary when switching GPU brands? I had no idea.
The rift needs 4 sub 3.0 ports.LOL no backplate? Come on Gigabyte, don't be cheap like that.
Also why do I need USB ports on my video card when there are already 12 of the damn things on my motherboard?
1216 -> 1400 = 15%
1733 -> 2000 = 15 %

It's used to flash your graphics card with custom BIOS.Whats NVFlash?
Whoops, didn't mention I have a 980 Ti. Stock boost on those is only 1075 MHz, so 1400 is a 30% OC.
Yes hopefully modding the bios allows for much higher clocks although there is likely a reason the voltage was locked.
Probably not until 1H 2017.
It is a full GP104! I'm just predicting they will reuse that chip for the 1170 and possibly clock it higher.Wait... the 1080 is not a full GP 104?
I see. Well, hopefully the 1080Ti will be able to pull off something similar. The main reason why there's a lock is most likely to keep unexperienced overclockers from damaging their new, expensive card![]()
Wait... the 1080 is not a full GP 104?
Please tell me they fucked up the overclocking in the review.
I expected this card to smash through 2.1ghz, I don't see how they could only increase clock by another 50mhz but pushed the memory up by over 500mhz if I read that correctly.

Edit: I'm watching this guy on youtube and he pushed his FE to 2070Mhz~ with the Power priority only to 104% and had no throttling over 1 hour, so something screwed up is going on. We'll have to wait and see other cards and what people can do with them.
Isn't that more than enough for air cooling? Or are these new cards cool enough to handle 1.25V on air?
I remember modding the bios on my Gigabyte G1 980TI to allow for 1.22V, and that was really pushing the temps and noise levels beyond what I was comfortable with.
Is there any reason to cap the voltage there for these cards?

So, after reading this,

Does it really even matter what card I pick up? Seems like none of them overclock past a certain point anyway. Not even as far as the 980ti.
I'm new to all of this but it's seeming to me that it would be ok to pick up whatever card that doesn't throttle like the founders edition and OC it on air as far as it will go? Is water or something like a hybrid really needed for anything other than noise control?
Go easy on me.
Height: 5.94in - 150.88mm
Length: 10.5in - 266.7mm
Width: Dual Slot
Feeling kinda weird about the measurements on evgas site. They have the same size listed for all three cards.
'Founders
Superclocked
FTW
I think I am going to go with the FTW edition.
Its really important for my project that I have perfect measurements because I am fabricating a daughter case to house my GPU externally.
Also the slot length is going to be 107mm regardless because thats a standard size, right? The PCB just goes beyond it.
Y'all might be interested in my earlier post.
It makes me wonder if it is a deliberate hardware design coupled with the locks in firmware/BIOS. If they keep the performance difference between the 1070/1080 more distant, they will inevitably sell more of the expensive card than if the 1070 can be clocked close to it's big brother, as was true of the 970/980.
Try asking on the evga forum. Jacob etc are always there answering technical stuff like that.
The rift needs 4 sub 3.0 ports.

It doesn't. I own a Rift.
2 are actually required. 1 for the headset. 1 for the sensor.
Optionally, 1 for the included Xbox controller. And later on, optionally 1 for the Touch controllers if they ever actually release them.
So if you happen to have a good non-reference 980 Ti, getting a 1070 would be a bit of a downgrade.
It would always be a pointless upgrade, regardless, unless that person has specific power efficiency (or build) requirements.
