Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

So I've got a weird issue with my EVGA SC. I am getting a green flickering bar on the left side of the screen while in a game. It's always on the far left side edge of the game window, so if I go to smaller resolution it moves with it. Ive tried no over clock, restarting computer, reinstall drivers, I don't know what else it could be.
Sounds like the card is broken
Are the fans working?
Will probably need to RMA it
 
Retailer just removed the date on Strix (was the 9:th), not sure what it means for my pre-order. Last I heard anything, 15 was supposed to arrive today.
 
The silicon lottery seems crazy on the 1080's. That guy in our thread who got his EVGA SC to 2100+ is the winner, those cards are reference (Founders) cards with the ACX cooler. I gotta pray that my Gigabyte G1 is one of the golden ones.

It really does. I have the MSI coming tomorrow. I really wanna open it and play with it but I'm thinking I should just wait done the Strix to go on sell and buy two.
 
Will that nowinstock site send a sms to an Australian mobile? what is the best method of getting alerts for an Aussie?

I think it's US only. I tried setting it up yesterday and they use an email to SMS method so your mobile operator has to support sending an email to your mobile phone and converting it to SMS. Didn't work for me on Vodafone so I'm using email
 
So tired of the lack of stock for the GTX 1080 and the extortionist pricing ...FE only available and they from $800 to $850 while the ASUS STRIX 1080 from $925+

I just called my local shop again today hoping they would have a GTX 1080 at reasonable price or when the GTX 1070 arrives...

They had the ZOTAC FE 1070, but for $550, so I picked it up. Can't play on integrated graphics anymore. 2 years from now for the GTX 1280 I will be more patient. I promise!!!

The price gouging and lack of stock meant I otherwise wouldn't have gotten this chance for another 2 to 3 weeks at least. And I REALLY wanna play Doom and Overwatch Ultra. I'M SORRY BANK ACCOUNT!!!
 
dang, my FTW order just got pushed from the 17th to the 22nd at Komplett.no (norwegian retailer). I'm expecting another push back at this point :(

If you think that's bad, my SC order from Komplett got pushed back from the 10th to the 22nd yesterday. That's extra painful considering how people have already received theirs.

Wouldn't worry to much about it. I don't think anyone outside the US has received a SC at this point?
But it sure is annoying. My FTW also got "delayed" by 11 days.
 
My Broadwell E system is now complete since my dual 1080s arrived today.(FE bc of SLI).

6800k, 64MB ddr4, 1tb Samsung 850 evo, asus strix x99 mobo, 2 x 1080 FE.

Any particular reason for your sli scaling being so low?

Here are my 2x 290X in crossfire

LOLLL I know!, but they are also the cheapest here in Aus.

On the homepage, click on Parts Pricelist(PDF file), then just fine the GPU section.

I'm from Aus myself and I think I'm going to do the Amazon/newegg route. $1139 is a hell of a lot of money, you should be able to grab one for around $900 shipped from the US.

Hrm dunno. Just ran it once. Heaven benchmark both gpu's were close to 100%.

Maybe the high bandwidth sli bridge really is needed? Come on nvidia release it!
 
From OCUK regarding FTW:


Thankyou for your webnote, current ETA is 17/06 due to delays at Nvidia with the processing units and the worldwide demand being so high. This is an ETA and subject to change.

Regards
 
Well, I've put in another order for a Palit Super Jetstream 1080, as it seems the Asus Strix isn't arriving anytime soon.
The card only has 1 HDMI out though, which is a bummer.
