Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

The 1080 FTW is so big that it almost didn't fit in my NZXT S340 with the cable management bar thing installed. I am talking like <1mm clearance.. Thing is HUGE

Yea the height of the card is substantial, I could probably force it in but the 8pin would be right against the side panel of my air240.
I was quite keep to try a different manufacturer but looks like I'll be sticking with Gigabyte.
 
The height of the card will be okay for me, it's the length I'm worried about. There's a hard drive cage right there at the ass-end of my 680. Hm.. looking at the specs, the FTW is half an inch longer. That doesn't sound like much, but it's pretty tight in there already, it's gonna be close.

Changing of the guard. :) (taking better picture later when I am finished tearing up rig to install new card)

Damn thats a big ass upgrade. Enjoy that. lol.
 
spoke to scan again yesterday and this time they said they have no ETA on the 1080 FTW. So we have 1 possibly no longer valid 4th July from Scan date, a 22nd July date from Ebuyer. Also EVGA UK gave a hopeful but unsure date of tomorrow.
 
Are there any comparing benchmarks of 3rd party brand's GTX1080 cards? I have no idea if i should get a EVGA FTW, or Asus Strix, or whatever. Just want to get something that's the best for VR. I never had a gaming PC, only Playstations, but i would love to get one now.
 
And here we go. HardOCP's first 1080 OC review, and unlike other OC reviews, they put the ASUS STRIX 1080 Republic of Gamers XXXtreme Aura RGB Lighting Edition Turbo against the previous model ASUS STRIX 980 Ti, with the 1080 reaching the fabled 2100+ OC and the 980 Ti cruising along at 1430.

This should put to rest the various claims that a heavily OC'd 980 Ti is close to an OC'd 1080. Because it's not. The 1080 crushes the 980 Ti.

Edit: this is a fun little tidbit from the discussion of the review:

I just talked to NVIDIA about 1080 supply, and they are very aware that these are hard to get. They explained that they have had the fastest production ramp up of any desktop GPU they have ever done, surpassing the 980's production ramp.

This is no paper launch, guys. The demand is real. We are buying these things as fast as they can make them and they are making as many as they can.

I am assuming those RotTR numbers are from the built-in benchmark? I want to compare my results to his.
 
The price bullshit on these cards is making me livid. I have seen a partner card for anywhere close to less than $720 let alone near $600. I might be done with PC gaming if this is how hardware manufacturers think they can treat their customers.
 
Gigabyte FE 1080 with EK waterblock, I also got the back plate, I didn't realise it actually came with one, oh well. Solid 2000-2100 Mhz during game play, I haven't done a lot to the memory yet.

I upgraded from Crossfire 7970s GHz editions and this is just amazing. 1600x2560 at full settings for everything.... this is what a new GPU is all about. 3930k for the CPU, 16GB of 1833 RAM, OCZ Vertex III 240GB SSD, 4TB SSHDD, Asrock Champion Mobo all in a Fractal ARC midi with 360mm and 140mm rads.

Over a month since I ordered my EVGA card now and still not a word on when we can expect them to arrive in Sweden.

Ordered the MSI as well as while ago and hope I will get either before my vacation in 3 weeks..
 
1080 FTW ETA changed from 29th to "unknown" for me. Sooo... preorder at the 27th of May. Original ETA: 17th June->28th->29th->unknown. lol
Other German stores now moved to mid July. This card won't be available until August, I'm telling you now.

To another month of waiting! What a shitshow from EVGA.
 
Tracking updating and my G1 (and mouse...) should apparently be here tonight. That's exciting.

how did you find that out?

Monitor core clock in GPU-Z, MSI Afterburner, ...

I'm kinda surprised the FTWs seem to boost that high out of the box. Since we've got a few owners (like 3 or 4? lol) by now in here, are they able to hold the 2GHz clock reliably in games?

Also EVGA EU dude just said this:
Stock is still leaving Far East this week, landing NL either Friday/Monday so looking at stocks into OCUK mid next week as Gibbo has been saying for a few days now. This stands for SC and FTW on 1080.

... just like last week it was mid this week, aye?

My SC boosted to the upper 1900's without touching anything.

I'd be surprised if they weren't able to hold 2GHz clock in game. Based on what I've seen so far any of the non-reference coolers seem to have no problem OCing a bit past 2GHz and then throttle back down to like 2015 or so.

Why did I lose the silicon lottery? :(

+75 max stable OC offset on core(which equates to 2GHZ avg clock in games)
+250 max stable OC offset on memory (equates to 5250MHZ in games)
Click to expand...

That's about what I settled on with my SC. Anything over +75 was stable up to +125 but the temps made a massive jump. So I left it at +75.

I just sold mine on Ebay, and am looking for a different card. I'm gonna go Gigabyte Xtreme or preferably a hybrid card.
 
Founder edition in stock at all the best buys around me according to their site. Beyond frustrating to see that while Amazon still hasn't given an ETA on the Gaming X's.

I find it weird that a bunch of stuff has gone up for preorder on Amazon the last couple weeks since I placed my order, and most of it has some sort of ETA. But, still absolutely zero word on the Gaming X. And third party sellers have popped up selling preorders of it on Amazon and given ETAs. How the hell does Amazon itself still not have a clue? Like, for all they know it could be tomorrow, or in two months?

lol. I was raised in a dump. You can take that pretty literally.

I decided a long time ago I would never live like that again.

I dunno, every time I buy something new and shiny I have this compulsion to clean everything first before I can enjoy it. If I don't then I just get stressed till I do. I can think of worse problems to have.

Can you please move into my house? I have a 1080 too. Imagine the possibilities.
 
Just wondering, getting my Strix today and is Asus alternative to Afterburner any good or should I just stay with Afterburner?
 
I'm sitting at 1695Mhz right now on my desktop according to MSI afterburner
Just using chrome. This doesn't seem right at all
Why is my idle clock speed so high?

Uhhh the NVIDIA reference base clock is 1607. It's just a beast.

edit: Or are you asking cause you're using an FE?

Display setup? Might be the infamous non-idle clock 'bug' that many multi-monitor/high end gaming monitor users were plagued on previous cards. Pascal cards suppossedly fixed thsi though.

Multiple monitors? 144Hz or above? Hardware acceleration on in browser?

Or in simpler words: Nvidia's drivers suck and have have done so for years when it comes to idle clocks.

Nothing was fixed with Pascal regarding idle clocks. If anything it's even worse because the clocks are so damn high now. Just few early adopters who got lucky with their setups reported some early successes.

Damn I'd never heard of that. I'll have to check if it's happening to me, I've been using multiple monitors for 4+ years now.

Ahhh it's over. Hopefully I have the time to put it through its paces with the Vive tonight. :)
