What about the voltage slider in precisionX? What do I do with that?

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

Especially if you aren't looking to do the very maximum amount of overclocking, all of the third-party cards are performing very very similarly.
Got my EVGA 1080 ACX 3.0, today, the basic one
OC seem stable @1950Mhz, memory +100
Tried to play Arkham Knight since it is infamous for its performance
4K, Max settings, No Nvidia specials
Framerate seem to hover around ~60FPS, that makes it very playable with Gsync. Excellent performance
Much better than my 2x780 for sure

Seems I need much newer monitors to take advantage of GSync. That's a shame
You'll need a monitor that's G-Sync capable.
From what I've seen Arkham knight seems to run well these days, took long enough though. I gotta check it out on my 1080 too.

So far based on user reports I'm seeing with the 1080/1070, it appears to do jack and shit. Haven't tested first-hand yet.
I did it with my 780ti, other then it being a lot longer it made it run cooler and quieter then any other non reference model.
I ordered a 1080 FTW from Newegg yesterday. After fraud detection drama with the credit card company, it sat in order verification for hours. Since then, it's been in "packaging" for the better part of a day.
So much for "rush processing" and premier as services.
Edit: Newegg is doing annual inventory. If it didn't ship yesterday, it's not shipping until 7/1. And forget asking if they can speed up delivery if it didn't make the cut b/c they allegedly can't modify an order once it's in packaging.

What could be causing low gpu usage, in some games it is abysmal? Just tried Star Citizen and it was only at 20%, playing with my 970 was smoother. And PCars in VR is about 40%, both perform like shit. Other games like AC Unity, GTAV and Doom at 4k pretty much always have 80-99% usage and run great.
CPU bottleneck?

Maybe, I knew I would have some CPU bottleneck,but i never thought it'd be that impactful. I have i5 4670k at 4.1 ghz. Most things work really well, and 3Dmark score is only lagging behind a little bit from people with better CPUs, I still got 15000 overall. 7600 physics score.
I haven't payed attention to Star Citizen I just went into it to see the graphics, is Port Olisar impossible to run without a beast CPU? Because the I went to the Hangar and it ran fine on very high, 60 fps solid. I feel like I had better performance when I first checked out Star Citizen on my 970 in the port, it was close to 30 fps. This is like 15 - 20. Everything else is running great, I guess I'll just avoid Star Citizen and PCars VR for now.
Thought so too so I used DDU before and reinstalled driver. Guess I can try it again.

Have fitted a third party cooler to a GPU, easy enough.
Bollocks. I saw a few days back that Overclockers had started to put their prices up following the Brexit vote but then they went down again. And now they've gone up again.
And not by a small amount either. They can fuck right off, will be getting my 1080 from Amazon UK or Ebuyer. Wankers.

1080p? Try playing at a higher resolution.

Well the STRIX has lighting on the top edge as well as the back plate which are both visible.
Download Aura app. It's a separate program from the Asus OC app.

That sucks :/
I dealt with the newegg fraud stuff a few weeks ago. It never used to do that. It asked for the last 4 digits of my social, and even after all that my card still got denied. Had to call the CC company to allow my card to be used.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Oh man, you're the fucking best -- thanks for the heads up. Bought. Even better, i didn't have to pay tax.
I assume that the single fan on that card won't be an issue? I might replace it at some point with a liquid cooling solution, but... y'know. Don't want to have issues in the meantime.
Thanks. Now it looks real nice in cycle mode.
It has an option for the lights to go with whatever music you're listening to. Neat.
I don't know what the MSRP is on the "single fan" card you mention, but it's the type of card that should be $600 roughly. It's a reference PCB + low end blower.
Haven't seen it tested, but wouldn't be surprised if it's louder and hotter than the FE model.
(assuming you bought the Aero) Edit: Their site reads like they use better components, as-if it's not a reference PCB.. not sure.
So I don't know what I'm doing but..
I downloaded the MSI afterburner.
I set the core clock to +50 and the memory clock to +200 and hit apply and played some games. Not sure if it affected much since games were already running fine. I need something to actually test or check if the oc actually worked?

Yep. You need a benchmark or two. I'd recommend Firestrike and Heaven.
Ah, is this what someone mentioned earlier? 3DMark for $5 on Steam right now? Would I be good with just that?
I would actually just suggest running a demanding game (The Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, Elite: Dangerous, Crysis 3, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate are all particularly good at turning up unstable overclocks in my experience) at a particularly high resolution for at least an hour.
3DMark is great yes, but running games like GTA V and Witcher at high res is the true test of it being actually stable.
How can I measure any gains though? I guess I can push it further since I've been playing at the previous stated settings and works fine.
MSI Afterburner has good ways to monitor. Go to the settings and put things like gpu usage and clock rate and frame rate to show in the on screen display. Also in the monitoring section I turned up the hardware polling period by a lot so that when I close out the game the graphs are all still there and I can check them all out to see what the highest clock, temps and frame rate it reached.
I've been messing with overclocking too and I think I have one completely stable and then after an hour of GTA V at 4k it crashed in a random scene with not much going on. So yeah 3Dmark is stable at that boost but not all games will be. I still think 3DMark is well worth it with all the stuff they keep adding to it and VRMark coming to it.

So, when I'm done messing with the core and mem clock offsets, as in I've found the most stable values... what do I do next? Do I need to turn the power and temp targets back down?
Ok, I will be messing with this soon. I went ahead and got 3dmark since it's not expensive.

Yes, existing 3DMark Advanced owners will get Time Spy Basic for free. I'm guessing there will be a "premium" version of Time Spy as well which will have an additional cost.
What a world, where even benchmarks have DLC!
And achievements.

is 3D mark worth buying from steam atm?
Yes, totally worth it for that price. VR and DX12 benchmarks coming up soon for free to owners of the advanced (aka paid) edition as well.

I'm not saying I purposely put an old GTS 450 I had in a closet in my 5820K gaming box just so I could run 3DMark and get the "Brains" achievement.
Nope.
Yep.

Alright, I'm done trying to get the On Screen Display for precision x to work. Piece. of. junk. What is the best way to get an OSD while still using precisionx? Is that even possible? Do I really have to switch to afterburner? I just did all of my overclocking in precision and it's working fine but if I have to change I will.
HWiNFO + Rivatuner OSD server is what I use. Probably the most customizable combo around since you can literally display any sensor that HWiNFO can read in the OSD and customize the layout.
Takes a while to set up tho

I test with Folding@Home
Work Untíts will fail if the overclock calculates wrong, so it is the best way to know if everything is working correctly
Benchmarks can still work and seem fine, but calculations might be wrong and crash games that are dependent on a fully functioning card... Like DooM
Also, you help the world to become a better place
Like, Folding has forced me to drop from ~1950 to ~1900 since I got lots of errors, but games worked fine for the most part
