So it overclocks worse than my FE and is more expensive?

Dat 8+6-pin power connector hype.

EVGA GTX 1080 SC review

Spoiler

(but it's in French)

I see no cons listed in their pro/con section.

Too bad Google translate isnt working for me to try and make out what theyre saying.

Pro: There is no cons .

Maybe.

Just ordered a Palit GeForce GTX 1080 GameRock Premium. It is in stock in germany so should be here this week.

I hope its not that loud.

Where!? :O

If they ship to Spain, and the price is good, I'm getting one

Strix review. Link posted below.

This makes me want the Strix more than I already did! Next week is the estimated time, right?

 

[Phinor]

Somethings wrong here.
Computerbase measured 44db @ load. They measured 33db. 11db is a hell of a difference...

Kitguru has always had weird (low) noise results. Most cards are like within 3db of each other, between 33-36db. You can maybe compare their results with their other results but comparing their results with other sites isn't very reliable.

June 17 I think

Some Polish review of the Strix is up:

Seems reviewers have been gotten them at least. Still hopefully for the 9:th. Webhallen, don't fail me now!

It seems like overclocking the 1080 isn't doing much at all (above factory OC)

 

[DryvBy]

GUSA's Twitter account categorically stated the 7th as the release date only to clarify at the last minute that just Newegg would be getting stock on the 7th. I and others have a G1 pre-ordered on Amazon but the status remains at "Little more time".

That being said, Amazon accepted pre-orders of the G1 at $611 versus Newegg's $649, so there may be a silver lining, especially for AU importers such as myself.

Thanks. I hope I get it before the weekend.

Yep. 2050 seems doable, but 2050-2150 seems like silicon lottery. Asus said they were able to get some of the Strix to 2150.

Finally getting my computer today so I can throw my founding fathers edition inside it and get cracking on Blood and Wine.

If you bought an FTW from Amazon UK, first shipments will be around 20th june.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Any FTW reviews yet?

 

[CybernatonEvolution]

If you bought an FTW from Amazon UK, first shipments will be around 20th june.

Some users on Amazon.com are claiming that the SC will be released on the 13th of June, and the FTW on the 17th.

 

[draughn101]

I've heard that. And a few spoke to CS today and heard that FTW will ship on Thursday. Jacob Freeman is probably our best source and he's indicating it could be a while.

 

[Onemic]

So which card is better, the G1 or the SC? The G1 is 10 bucks cheaper at NCIX

 

[draughn101]

At this point, I'd say they're identical, besides the superior CS at EVGA.

 

[JaseC]

No worries. I'm glad you caught my edit as I only have my phone tonight and my original reply was uncharacteristically curt. Conveying tone can be difficult when time is of the essence.

 

[Chris R]

Is there a link to an Amazon Search that has only 1080 cards? Apparently putting in GTX 1080 isn't enough for Amazon to only give me the new cards... Got to set up a few auto-notifys to grab one next time they show in stock for retail price.

 

[draughn101]

Ok so Freeman is saying SC preorders will ship this week, FTW next week. These are likely EVGA orders only.

 

[Barzul]

Gigabyte on FB messaged me saying that US Amazon G1 will ship by the end of the week.

A card cooled by liquid nitrogen at clocks nobody in the real world will achieve.

People who used next day shipping are already receiving them.

You sure that's not newegg?

This week

That got them from Amazon? In the US not UK? Can you link to this?

Yea newegg, sorry. My brain is scrambled from doing only this for the last two weeks.

Are there any liquid cooled card benchmarks yet? I'm debating whether to go with the Titan X or a 1080 depending on how well these cards OC...

I remember GamersNexus liquid cooled their FE and there was still a limit at 2.1GHZ

[demigod]

I really hope that MSI price on newegg is for the Z edition and not X. Didn't think they were going to make a kingpin edition. Then again its evga, they have like 10 different versions of their cards.

Liquid cooling wouldn't do much on this card, it's not like the problem is heat.

No worries! I always feel I come off as rude too when I write quickly.

I've just been sitting on this page. Stuff has shown up there.

 

[Vitor711]

If I have an MSI Z97 Mobo and a 980, I should be fine just switching that out for a 1080, right? No power issues either since it seems to be a more efficient card?

Now I just need to work out which non-FE version is the best bet for me here in the US....

Nice! Might have to send it back tho, looks like your fan has stopped.

My FE is liquid cooled. Limit is still 2.1.

It goes fast and Witcher 3 looks fucking nice. Money well spent.

 

[ShogunDarius]

assuming you win the silicon lottery, could you OC a FTW to 2000mhz without major electricity drain or overheating?

OC3D Video Review of Asus GTX1080 Strix

Ugh, this guy's videos are so long-winded for no real reason.

 

[Paganmoon]

Hmm, all these Strix reviews makes me think I might actually get my card on Thursday.

 

[Piggus]

Most average cards should do 2000 pretty easily. Getting to 2100+ seemingly requires some luck.
