Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks
- Thread starter dgrdsv
- Start date
Basically any of the custom non-blower style ones should be ok. MSI got good comments for being quiet but we haven't seen many of them compared specifically for noise.
Or grab any of the reference cards and slap an AIO water cooler on it
An EVGA SC. It was what was given to me when I RMAd a 780 that died.
I could be wrong but is your Physics / CPU score seems low for a 6700K. I score over 14000 with my Xeon 5650 overclock. This is a 7yr old CPU.Here is Guru3Ds MSI for comparison:
My EVGA SC
EDIT: Nope, apparently 6700Ks score between 12000-14000 on the Physics test. I figured it would be higher.

In terms of benchmarks, if it helps at all... games getting 60 fps at 1440p corresponds roughly to ~110 fps at 1080p. So you can kind of reverse engineer the benchmarks a bit for your purposes.

Grrrrr... fuck Fedex. I had no idea that they required signature on delivery so I used my home address instead of my office. I'm at work during the week like a normal adult, so my 1080 was taken back aboard the truck and won't be attempted again until Monday. Hopefully I'll be able to go pick it up 15 miles away at my city's Fedex distribution center. Yay.

"Best" is in the eye of the beholder. In terms of OC potential, it's pure silicon lottery. In terms of noise, the cards with custom coolers will be quieter than the FE/reference cards. In terms of buzzing/coil whine, you'll probably have better luck with the custom designs, especially the higher-end offerings from EVGA.
EVGA also has the best warranty and customer service. Given how close all the cards are in terms of performance, that might be enough to put them over the top.
I bought two for this reason. "Overkill" doesn't exist.

Really disappointed in their lack of ability to get cards from any of the partners.
Simultaneously really glad I bit on that MSI Gaming X card from Newegg yesterday, as it's scheduled to arrive within hours from now. Really wanted to get the card before I had to leave town for a week for E3. Meanwhile Amazon still seems to have no clue when it will get any cards in.
That's me! For now at least.
At some point I may take the 970 I am replacing and put it back in my old i5 2500k machine that I recently replaced. At that point I'll probably buy a 1440p G-Sync monitor, so I can use my 1080p G-Sync monitor with that older machine.
Thanks for the info! Should provide useful when I eventually do start to shop for these new cards (when they are reliably in stock). Still not too sure whether to upgrade to the 1070 or 1080, coming from a 780ti.
This video review of the MSI gaming X 1080 includes some 3440x1440 results that might be useful for some people

I am happy with the 3440x1440 results. My Asus ROG 34'' is pleased
Jelly af. This will be the first thing I'll try whenever I get my hands on one of these cards.
Overnight, no way was I going to wait.
Way I look at it, if I ordered from Amazon I'd pay twice as much in taxes as the overnight shipping from Newegg. So I'm saving money!
I bet she asks for the receipts lol
Give me her number, I'll ring her and let her know.

My G1 shipped. Arriving Thursday (even though I have Prime grrrrr).
Dude, I'm a pro at this. When the money comes out, you get furious too. Tell her, "What?! I'll contact them and take care of this!" then hope she forgets. If she doesn't, sell stuff and promise not to buy things again.
Meanwhile, dat pre-order list....

Congrats, but holy shit... Almost a whole week?
B&H said June 26th over their chat support to me. I think someone said June 29th for Amazon, but who really knows?
I love EVGA but they can go to hell. I ain't waiting til the 29th
Balls.

Was this noise comparison posted? I thought the G1 was more quiet than the Asus, doesn't sound like it from this comparison. Can anyone with the G1 tell me how loud there's is inside the case?

Since the MSI Gaming X is still up for pre-order on Amazon, is it safe to assume they don't know their stock and this could be backlogged until July? I'd love to get that instead of the FTW to match my case and motherboard. Hell, I will trade and pay the difference for anyone who got an MSI Gaming X and wants an FTW.
Yo what? Amazon US? Not the founders edition correct?
To my knowledge, G1's are not founders editions.

my gigabyte g1 is in, got a good price on the titan so barely cost me any extra money, it's not much of an upgrade in terms of performance although it is noticeable, main reason i got it though is the noise and heat, this is very quiet in my case, overwatch@1080p@153fps@55 c (13-15c cooler than before), temps are worth it alone and this room is now much cooler, not overclocked it but seems to reliably boost to 1974mhz out the box, seen 2000mhz briefly

How much was the FTW? I usually get EVGA cards and could only get the Gaming X from Newegg. It will be here on tuesday.
Yeah
I just got an email. My estimate is Wednesday. I contacted customer support yesterday and they upgraded me to 1 day shipping for free
I'm quite lucky in a way. My wife spends quite a bit on her sewing hobby and I can usually justify a decent computer-related purchase. She's totally against VR for some reason though. I'm still going to rock this GTX 970 til at least 2017 I believe. I can't wait to see what will be available early next year.

Hey, How do you guys setup Auto Refresh Plus so that it pops up when Newegg has the card in stock?
$679.99 was my total on B&H. Shipping and sales tax were $0 for me.
Tell it to alert when it no longer finds the text "Out of stock" on the page.

With quotes or without?

Yeah, I'm not even going to be able to use it until next Sunday since I'll be out of town. It's gonna suck waiting to leave vacation to install a video card lol
Nice. My wife just quickly forgives me. I only upgrade my computer once in a while. So this year's upgrades will be something to last me until past 2018. Last time I did an upgrade was 2012.
I was gonna tell the wife first time I saw her, but would have been nice if Frys didn't call her to break the news first.
I hope they don't require a signature for the package.
