I was getting ~2150 during fire strike, after a mobo bios update (weird but verified), it became slightly unstable, so now I am sitting at 2114 in fire strike, a new mobo bios just came out a couple of days ago but I haven't tried fire strike since then.
So if we're to go with anecdotal evidence, the only card I ever had DOA out of the box was an MSI. I guess they are terrible. I've had Seagate, Western Digital, IBM, and Maxtor hard drives die, so they are bad, even if not still available. The worst experience I ever had with a computer product was ASUS... and they got me twice. Once they got me with a broken motherboard for which they never supplied a working one after I mailed shit to Hong Kong, and later another motherboard / Thunderbolt card that had missing parts... etc.
If EVGA doesn't service your country, then don't buy from them. The only company I've had burn me on purpose was Asus, so I actively avoid them. It's pretty simple.
What are your voltages at these frequencies?
I have a ASUS X99 Rampage V Edition 10 arriving this week, but I can't see how Motherboard would have an effect on gfx over clock.

I was once one of you. Then I spent a day refreshing newegg.
Abandon all hope, ye who wait.
Not in front of it at the moment but I did post the curve I was using is in post 7836 of this thread.
Regarding the motherboard and instability with bios, it's an Asus Rog Strix X99 Gaming, I was on 401 and it was running on 2152 just fine, upgraded to 601 and it immediately became unstable and 3DMark even started stuttering. We built 2 PC's that are identical, so I tried the same on my girlfriend's PC and on 401 it ran 3D Mark fine, upgraded to 601 and had the same issues with OC instability and 3D Mark stuttering, yesterday I upgraded to 801 but haven't gone back to test. Just something to keep in mind as I believe the Rampage V shares the same bios track
buy a new mobo, my msi 170z has the same thing as the ddr slots
Wish I didn't have 200 dollars worth of Amazon gift cards to redeem
The suffering is real
Amazon CSR told me yesterday literally nothing as far as ETA or the rumored discount

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
What rumored discount?

Guessing he's referring to the people who complained to customer service about the wait on their preorders and got 20% off.

I have the MSI X99A Raider, and yes it has the same latches as the DDR4 slots.
It is impossible to reach that latch is when a gigantic-ass video card is sitting on top of the slot, the space between the Strix 1080 and my Noctua NH-D14 is like a quarter inch at the most. I have to stick a screwdriver in there to try and press it down.
I know this is silly. But did you directly ask about the discount?
"I've seen other people getting discounts on their product because of the delay."
I hand Amazon $20 for an Amazon Allowance for myself so the last two months all that gift card has just been going to the GPU. Otherwise I'd have had a 1080 a while ago.
I'm with you on the FTWait train! EU retailers should get first stock tomorrow or Thursday according to EVGA but I'm not sure how much trust I put in their words after the continuous delays...
Yeah, removing the card is always an exercise in finger acrobatics with my D14 and these latches <_<

The good thing about evga is their international warranty and transferable warranty and they allow you to take off the heatsink. So you can buy a card from the cheapest online store and their customer service can still do the rma for you.
Yea the shipping to them can get expensive, but they usually retun a working one wwithin a week.

Gonna be some real BS if Pascal turns out to be trash for most DX12 games. Right now it seems like it just brute forces them.
So is this "merely" a driver issue that can be fixed once Nvidia turn their focus on DX12 or do they have more serious problems, hardware, architecture and whatnot wise?

What's the issue with applying brute force to a problem?
Ultimately no one gives a flying fuck how many async chamomiles you have in your silicon patisserie, if the framerate is good, the framerate is good. AMD has not demonstrated any ability to deliver hardware which is remotely competitive in raw power with Pascal, so all the DX12 and Vulkan and async capsicum in the world will not save them from a 100% performance deficit which is what Polaris has versus Pascal right now.
You need at least to be in the ballpark in hardware performance before you can start leveraging API advantage to pull ahead, and AMD isn't even in the same galaxy right now. Judging from how utterly hopeless Polaris is in terms of performance per watt compared to Pascal, Vega will literally need to be a miracle to be competitive on a baseline hardware level with Pascal. The Polaris 10 right now is drawing as much power and producing as much heat as the Pascal which offers literally double the performance.
This is not going to be a remotely tenable situation when you are scaling up to Vega which is supposed to double performance to keep up with Pascal, double the power draw and heat output of Polaris is absolutely absurd. Polaris and Pascal right now easily draw 200W at load, can you imagine Vega pulling 400W at load? That's simply not feasible for a consumer-level GPU. AMD seems fucked right now so who gives a shit about DX12?

I was in the same boat so I settled on the Gigabyte G1. It was more the width for me as I have it installed in a matx case, but its only a single pin power connector card.
Im not sure if its because I now have a case on my desk rather than underneath, but the card sure gets loud. Much louder than my old Gigabyte 670GTX windforce, which was also a triple fan hsf. The silent mode makes up for it though.
edit: current settings here with voltage, hope it helps

If "most" DX12 renderers will be written on AMD's money then you can be pretty sure that it'll be trash on anything not from AMD. In fact, why stop on DX12? The same will be true for DX11 and Vulkan and even DX7. Doesn't mean anything on Pascal's DX12 capabilities.
They're up again:
My order still shows no ETA, but I would hope this means they should be going out by the end of next week.
What the hell is it with the user score, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, the Gaming X is a high end quality product.
It's just due to the price gouging from third-party sellers. The other versions of the card likely have a similar low score.
Ah yeah, I just forgot that idiots can "review" products that they don't even have.. Review scores should reflect quality, not politics nor "feelings".

Mbo advice please. See my setup below. Currently using a 980 Ti. The PCI expansion slot directly under it is used for my Xonar DG soundcard (removed for the picture).
Given most 1080s are even larger than the 980 Ti, how fucked am I and what are my options? I really don't want to give up my Xonar.

What feature of the Xonar DG do you use, exactly?
Your motherboard's audio is fine for 99% of uses. The only specific use of the Xonar DG that most motherboards wouldn't have is Dolby Headphone. If you aren't using that, just use the motherboard's audio output.
If you have a receiver, you should be outputting display and sound over the HDMI 2.0 connector on the video card anyways, bypassing both the integrated graphics and the motherboard audio.

I use the dolby headphone and love it.
Not exactly solving your problem, but as someone who used to use a SB Titanium, there really isn't much point to using a sound card anymore. Games no longer make use of 3D audio APIs. The current state of CMSS-3D, Dolby Headphones, etc. are only taking in 5.1/7.1 information, which isn't enough, and muddies the sound in the process. Stereo with good open headphones is the better option. The best option is then to use an external DAC such as the ODAC (or O2/ODAC if you need the Amp as well. The Schiit stack is also good).
Why can't you use PCI slot 3 instead?
Mbo advice please. See my setup below. Currently using a 980 Ti. The PCI expansion slot directly under it is used for my Xonar DG soundcard (removed for the picture).

Don't you have a PCI-express x1 slot above your main X16 ?
Anyway, you could move your card to other X16 slot and put your soundcard above where your GPU currently sits.

Pascal Titan/1080 Ti arriving in August. 50% more powerful than GTX 1080.
http://videocardz.com/61844/nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-based-on-pascal-to-launch-in-august
250W TDP.
Should blow away 1080s. But cost an arm and a leg

Use the x1 slot.Mbo advice please. See my setup below. Currently using a 980 Ti. The PCI expansion slot directly under it is used for my Xonar DG soundcard (removed for the picture).

x16 #3 is usually shared with #1 so if you put anything into #3, #1 will work as an x8 slot.

800 dollars pre-NV FE tax, calling it now.
Unknown Soldier

Assuming this rumor is true, and I don't because HBM2 doesn't materialize out of thin air, I'm guessing more like $1,200.
The 1080 is already $600 MSRP and the Titan is typically twice that MSRP.

There's a post in that article that I could see being kind of legit for the pricing.
"1080ti 999$
1080ti FE - 1199$
Titan "P" - 1499+$ (FE only)"

Titan will be $1000. Don't expect 1080Ti with it.

Don't get a Gainward/Palit then.
The MSI Gaming X, ASUS Strix, Gigabyte G1, Zotac AMP, and EVGA cards are still 2-slot height, like your current MSI 980 Ti.
Only the Gainward/Palit, Gigabyte Xtreme, and Zotac AMP Extreme are 2.5 slots.
https://www.asus.com/us/Sound-Cards/Xonar_DG/
Doesn't look possible unless the other connector pins are purely cosmetic.
There's barely any difference between x16 vs x8. Maybe, a few fps at most. Just use the 3rd slot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igvub7E5OYA
So titan coming out first then Ti? not good with this shit.
That's how Nvidia has always done it, Titan follow later by the Ti. Otherwise, everyone would buy the cheaper Ti instead.

Wow, it's PCI. Then yeah, it's time to either switch to MB sound or upgrade to PCIE version of the Sonar. Most newer MBs don't even have the PCI slot anymore.
Yeah, but we live in a world where people are basing their purchasing decisions on these "few fps more" so loosing them isn't something I'd be ok with.
As usual, Titan first, a cut down "Ti" part later, when there will actually be a market reason to release it (hint: AMD's Vega).
So I just cancelled my order from a spanish retailer: I bought the EVGA FTW but they didnt even know when stock would arrive, and on top of that the card costed 825€ instead of its normal price.
Right now i dont even have a gpu and im desperately trying to find a web that has stock of a non founder gtx 1080.
I already gave up looking for this gpu in Spain so im considering searching it in other european countries.
Do you any of you know where can i find a correctly priced AIB 1080?

Little late to the latch hate but I have a micro ATX motherboard and I have to use a toothpick to reach under my humongous video card and carefully push the latch off the little extended yellow bit of the PCB.
It's even harder to remove cards with backplates because I have less vision on the latch, so I pretty much have to feel my way around the underside of the card for it and then start pushing on it with my toothpick hoping that it works.

Cheers for all the advice guys. I think I'm going to grab the DGX which is the PCIE build.
Not even sure why I bought the legacy PCI DG in the first place :/

Well the Titan P(ascal) is arriving in August and will likely cost $1200.
1080 Ti may come 3 months later at around $850.
How about the U7? Or U3 and go optical out with Dolby Headphone to a good dedicated dac/amp or Combo?
I had a live and learn moment the other week when I recommended Gamerock to a friend but the question became what to do about his sound card which would no longer fit the PCIEx1 slot. Getting rid of sound card still just isn't an option, not for me and not for any of my friends. Onboard audio just lacks in so many different ways including no digital in, no proper normalization etc. Anyway, for whatever reason I had never previously looked into the PCIe standard and lo and behold, you can actually put short "x1" cards into any PCIe slot including x16 slots. It's not often something is designed so that it actually helps the end user but someone made some some good decisions with PCIe back in the day.
