Yeah I was in BB today and saw 3 1080s. I fought the urge successfully. They didn't have any 1070s though.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks
- Thread starter dgrdsv
- Start date
My Sea Hawk EK came in with accessories, but I'm still waiting on a radiator (Monday).
It's going to be a long weekend.
It's funny to see how little water blocks have changed since I had a wc rig 10+ years ago. Ever since the spiral was ditched, the split channel design is everywhere.

Just so you know, EVGA has also said that they will be releasing an AIO kit for the FTW. I'm probably going to snag that whenever it releases.

Don't you have a 980 Ti?
Finally got my FTW but having weird flickering issues. It is basically doing this while just on the desktop browsing the internet. I thought I may have had a bad card but I guess it is related to the 1080 gtx and refresh rates according to what I have been reading. I have a rog swift monitor @ 144hz, but bringing it down to 120hz seems to have stopped it for now. Hopefully a future driver release will fix it or something...
Edit: Apparently setting the power management mode to 'Adaptive' and setting V-Sync off (which goes back on after reboots) may fix it too.

FYI, I have an Acer Predator monitor running at 144Hz with my Gainward GTX 1080 Phoenix GS, and I'm not having the issues you describe.
Yeah, you can use it to find a maximum. Then test with a variety of games and reduce clocks until it's stable.
Personally, one game I've found recently which is really sensitive to OC is Dark Souls 3, surprisingly.
Sure. You can also let some benchmark loop run in the background to quickly find a good approximate clock.
Given how multiple industries already have plans in place to move production out of the UK and into the EU following the decision, there might be less need to buy your stuff than you expect.
Depends on how quickly the pound bounces back tbh. We've got the 5th biggest economy in the world (or will have again pretty soon), the main reason why the pound dropped down the toilet temporarily was because these supposed financial whizz kids ignored polls and backed the wrong horse.
It's going to take us at least 2 years to leave the European Union and once that time is over this country will no longer have our hands tied with regards to commercial deals with non-member states such as the US, China and Japan - which means in the long term PC prices and PC component prices will go down in a few years.
Leaving the European Union also isn't going to stop us from doing commercial deals with European Union member states. They need to buy our stuff and won't cut their noses off to spite their faces.
And after those two years have come and gone the UK will be saving around 18bn quid every year.
Northern Ireland have enough Loyalists to vote to win any Border referendum so they'll remain in the UK. The one country I do worry about is Scotland if they have another Independence referendum and they leave the UK to remain in the European Union. Now that the UK is leaving it's only a matter of time before other member states follow with their own referendums and once that happens the European Union will collapse and the Euro with it, which is going to be DISASTROUS for Scotland's economy. :Oo
Sorry, I went off on a tangent there lol, TLDR; the UK economy will be fine and in a few years we'll have the benefit of cheaper hardware due to us being able to have unrestricted commercial dealings with the States, Japan and China.D
£18bn is an outright LIE as has been pointed out time and time again.

Witcher 3 is very sensitive when it comes to overclocking.

I have been itching to buy a new PC for a while, and was planning to buy in the next few months,was just waiting for a none FE card. I do also think the economy will be fine once everything is sorted out.
It's just the uncertaincy the next couple of years will bring, I am living well within my means, within reason but a lot of people are not sensible with there money, and may well struggle, and I reckon the EU will collapse due to too many member states with different economies. It's a gamble no matter what decision UK took, Lets access this again in 5/10 years time as as most of the public services are owned by foreign companies.

WTF is all this nonsense doing in gaming????
To be fair, it is something massive which has happened to one of the biggest gaming markets in the world, which can have many wide-ranging effects on the gaming industry including on component prices, we already saw OCUK trying to change 1080 prices because of it.
I was answering concerns about hardware prices going up, it was relevant to this thread. In a few years the hardware prices in the UK will actually go down for the reasons I've given.

Is Asus going to release a Poseidon or Matrix 1080?
What driver are you using? There was a hot fix driver released a couple days ago by Nvidia for this problem, and I haven't gotten this problem since.
No. The 480 is comparable to a 980, not a 1070 or 1080. At most, Nvidia will respond with a 1060, and in all likelihood there won't be price drops on the 1070/1080 until the 1080 Ti.

Have you checked for loose cables? Sometimes it's the simplest things causing the issue. I once thought my GPU was broken but it turned out that the problem was the cable. I can't remember if it was just loose or if I had to replace it.
On another note. My 1080 should ship on the 30th of June. I ordered it from overclockers.co.uk on the 8th, expecting that it would ship on the 17th -_- . Let's just hope that they won't bump the date back any further.
Have 2 different rigs. One for bedroom one for living room. Living room had a 970 in it that I sold, 1070 replaced it.

I have the exact same issue and have since day one. I thought it was a driver error. I may tweet that video to EVGA Jacob and see what he says about it
Did you guys try the hotfix driver for fixing high refresh rate flickering?
I didn't realize my 1080 would be about 2 inches longer than my 970 when I ordered it. It barely fits in my case, but I got it in there. I should probably invest in a new one, anyway alongside a bigger PSU. What's the smallest case I can get that would still fit a Coolermaster Hyper 212 and a 1080?
I'd like to be able to say the same of my Amazon pre-order. It's now been three weeks.
I would strongly recommend against holding out for that one. Just keep it as a back-up and look for other offers. Then cancel the Amazon order once you get one.
I snagged one at the cheaper price ($611), and I already have a capable GPU, so I'd rather wait. It's just annoying that there's no end in sight after almost a month, especially since a fellow Aussie who ordered after me and opted for cheaper shipping had his order status updated ~a week-and-a-half ago.
Where did you get yours? I've been looking for this one.
Hmm I hope this isn't a problem for me. Figured since I have a full tower it should be good. But the 970 was already big and getting close to my extra drive bays. Hopefully it's all good, waiting till I get out of work to see my 1080 that arrived today.

If I can snag a hydro model, I'll be throwing my EVGA SC up on the buy sell thread.
I'll look for that now, thanks.

Nah, the new Titan is coming next year.
I can safely say the Titans and Ti won't be flying off the shelves like the 1080.
This one not mine but someone managed 2290 overclock on their Gigabyte Xtreme. This and Galax HOF will be a beast.

I don't even own a 4k display, hahaNah, the new Titan is coming next year.

Which you'll probably need to sell several organs to fund. 1080 prices are already pushing it for me, a Titan with the FE price hike BS must cost an insane amount.

Pretty impressive, but keep in mind the number on that part of the screen is static, and doesn't represent what the card is actually doing. I've had mine up to 2190. It's still impressive, but doesn't show what his clock is stable at. It's the max clock speed, even if just for a fraction of a second.
That was the first thing I thought of. Re-seat the graphics card, swap power cables, display port cable, etc. I didn't even think of it being specific to the 1080 gtx or my monitor, because everything was working fine with my 780 Ti. But then I saw several threads on Reddit about it.
I haven't tried the hotfix driver yet. Some say it works, and same say it doesn't work. I'll probably give it a try today.
Edit: Hotfix didn't work for me.
I actually got the video from the Nvidia forum, where there is a big thread about this there as well.

Did you guyus with the EVGA SC know that you can play with the LEDs in the GeForce Experience settings?
Please post OC results.My Sea Hawk EK came in with accessories, but I'm still waiting on a radiator (Monday).

I'm really lucky. Ordered my ZOTAC 1080 and had 4-7 day shipping, usually I expect 7 but it's already here in 3 days! From the few games I've tried it's definitely a really good jump from the 970 let alone people coming from lower cards, they will be amazed. Anyway the Zotac AMP is really nice, don't have any experience with them. Haven't monitored clocks and all that yet but there's one thing I can say for sure about the performance.
In Killing Floor 2 the NVIDIA FLEX effects still destroy all the frames with big mobs blowing up. Down to 30 fps at 1080p lol. Idk if that will ever be optimized but it looks great in the early waves before it becomes nonstop gibs everywhere.

nice I got my zotac last week, also an upgrade from an asus strix 970. MASSIVE improvements, geezan!
It's perfect for my AOC ultrawide. Currently experimenting with some minor overclocks so I could max out Rise of the Tomb Raider with DSR.

That's not static, its a benchmark. Unless you're talking about it not being a game. You can check this other dude's OC mode out of the box without manually OCing hitting 2100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CklIrLlmZlY. What's your max boost in game and temps at? Any dips?
He's right, in that benchmark the clock speed number is static, it's set right from the start and doesn't change. So even if you hit 2100 just for a split second at the start it shows that for the full run.
It looks like the card was running at 2050 MHz actual as that's what's shown in the Gigabyte OC program at around 1:05. That's still quite good for a stable clock

Ahh ok, I was under the impression that it stays at that speed since it maxes the card out. Haven't ran a benchmark in 2 years.
Man how do retailers get away with this shit? Glad I don't buy anything from NCIXUS. Too bad I can't boycott microcenter for jacking up their prices either.

He should have had Afterburner running on the second monitor to show the clock speed history to see where it's actually at all the time.
Has there been any custom bios yet? Would like to know if they can actually squeeze out anything more with some tweaks.
