You don't need anything special. Just don't forget to go into the resolution options of NV CPL and set proper black and color depth levels for your HDMI/TV output.
Agree it's outrageous. I'm just glad I ordered when I did for that price even though I had to wait 2 months.
Can't wait to see what the Titans get priced at in the UK lol
Subjective I know, but do you think a Seahawk is worth £723? I kind of want a OC STRIX, but they are like gold dust in the UK and OCUK is holding them at £799 if they ever come into stock, eBuyer has the OC STRIX holding at £670 but no ETA on when it will actually be available 
A seakhawk will fit here OK won't it, with the rad replacing the front fan?

I suppose its supply and demand, nobody wants Founders editions anymore, the Brexit hasn't helped. I am glad I bought my new pc about two months ago, I saved around £200, the difference between a 1070 & 1080.

I was probably the luckiest guy in Australia, managed to get a Strix 1080 OC about a month ago. (Literally, I think it was the first one in my state.)
Results: It's been rad as hell, plays everything like a wonder.
Built a system I'd been saving for a year for, and really the only disappointing thing has been the backlight bleed on multiple G-Sync IPS monitors. Still haven't really resolved that yet.
Also, the monitors I've been going for are 165Hz capable, and it being the case that I've also plugged my old monitors in (why not?), I've discovered that these cards are still susceptible to the issue wherein one high-Hz monitor in a multi-monitor setup causes high GPU clocks and therefore temperatures, even at idle.
But damn, stuff runs well.

Congratz! same one I ordered, keep me posted how it goes.

Well I've got my FTW up and running and at the Druids Camp in The Witcher 3 it's sitting at around 1961mhz, that seems pretty solid for out of the box performance, right?

Yeah it should boost to 2012MHz on stock and downclock in very demanding scenes/games back to the clock you posted.
I wouldn't consider it shitty at all. Also, the post you were referring to was stating that a 4% drop in performance was TW3 "shitting on" the card. Doesn't seem like a big thing to me.. 4%?

It isn't a huge drop in performance from a practical point of view, but the game has certain areas that just push the card so much that you will probably see the lowest stable clock that your card will pull (got me to stock AIB boost clock once but it could be my experimental voltage/frequency curve at the time). But overall, the Witcher 3 does push cards hard to the point where you will downclock a lot ; 4% isn't a big deal overall but it is from the perspective of someone overclocking an AIB card that is already pushed from factory (remember that AIB cards are 12-15% overclocked).
Even the GTX 780 had the lowest downclocks in TW3. But I can get 2012-2050MHz in the game with my current overclock; I can go higher but it will crash or even worse in a long playing session.

So, finally ordered a Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Super Jetstream. Could barely afford it at £640 but scrapped together the necessary pennies.

Blargh, having the DPC issue. Seems to be my wireless adapter though so if I can get wired internet up and running I should be good. Thankfully disabling it fixes all stuttering issues but I can't play Overwatch without internet!!!
What's a DPC issue..?
The latest driver fixed the issue. If you're using said driver, then what you're experiencing is simply interference.

First thing first, compress air.

Yeah and it didn't help much, a little, but not much. However LatencyMon said my wireless adapter was the one causing trouble so I've switched to wired and everything seems to be good now.
Yeah, I cleaned it out today and moved the H100i rad to the front of the case, pulled the trigger on the Sea Hawk, arrives tomorrow
.Are these starting to become easier to purchase? I snagged an MSI card (Gaming, not Gaming X) off of NewEgg today. It was up for well over an hour.
Either I missed the memo and bought a piece of shit or they're starting to get more I guess?

The initial demand was bound to end at some point.

played with MadVR video renderer a bit, using MSI Gaming X 1080
Had to find a setting to get maximum video quality without wasting resources. Used Jinc and NNEDI3-256, same in double image.
For SD videos max GPU usage goes to 75%. GPU-Z reports tdp 100%, mem usage at 2.5gb and temps reaching 75C.
HD video usage can vary due to lack of upscale and whether its 10-bit. From 40-60% gpu usage.
Quality is superior of course but I prefer MPV on Linux

Sea Hawks in, so far so good, got core clock running at 2100MHz @ 49 degrees Celsius, with the memory at 11200 MHz while playing Overwatch on Epic at 1440p. Core clock very rarely drops below 2100.
Card is idling at 28 degrees Celsius.

doesn't look right. compare with one of mine (just the gpu score)
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13194980?
Nope, GPU score should be at ~22-24k for normal FS.

could you hazard a guess at what it could be? my 1080 is still at stock btw
Looks like your CPU is bottlenecking you. It's reporting maximum turbo clock of 1200Mhz, so it looks like it's underclocking like hell? Have you messed around with your bios settings or something?
ShogunDarius
Member
no i dont like messing with bios at all tbh, its a 3820 so i can only OC it to 3.8 anyway
Dreams-Visions

how's your heat management? install HWMonitor and observe your max CPU and GPU temperatures after running Firestrike. something is really not right here.
how's your power management? PC set to Maximum Performance? CPU set to run at 100% in minimum and max power states?
Yeah, but it's reporting turbo clock of 1200mhz, that's like less than 1/3rd of what it should be doing on turbo boost.
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9135577
This is a similar system to what you have, Core i7 3820 with a 1080, check the maximum turbo clock clock under "processor" heading, that's what it should look like.
So somethings not right with your system. Maybe set bios setting to factory defaults? at least check if there's any OC settings enabled, with improper base clock.
Edit: as Drams-Vision said, yeah could be powermanagement in Windows too. If it's set to never go 100% CPU power or something.

cpu didnt go above 41c gpu 52c. pc is set to highest

just ran ccleaner as someone suggested that might help, dont think it made much difference
this is the post ccleaner score
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13766639?
how do i reset my bios and will if fuck up my pc?

still way way too low.
How about this, reboot your machine, go into bios (Usually you press DEL at startup, but the info should be on your screen when you start your machine), and take a few pictures with your phone and post them here? Depending on your bios, it looks a bit different, but the OC stuff usually is under CPU, Advanced, or Tweaking headings.
If you do that, we might see if it's a problem with underclocking or not, so you don't need to do a bios reset for nothing (usually no big deal, but could mess up your boot order).
Do you know what motherboard you have? if you do, that could help in guiding you to the correct location in your bios as well.
Edit: come to think of it, you should be able to see some info through CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Select Setup English, install and run, screenshot the different tabs and post here. you'll also be able to see what motherboard you have with this tool.
Depends on the game, just like it always does. I just wrapped up Everbody's Gone to the Rapture, and while it spent most of it's time between 80-90fps (1440p), it had long and consistent dips down into the 30s more than once, depending on where I was and what I was looking at.
I'm also going back and playing Mass Effect, and my GPU usage barely goes higher than about 15%. Probably going to start running it at 4K+ just to smooth out the aliasing and probably still won't stress the card at all.
Speaking of which, anybody try DSR on Alien: Isolation with a 1080 yet? Might give that a whirl, see how it goes.

I cant get into bios, I just get a black screen
Ok, try CPU-Z, should give a hint about the bios settings.

Going from 770 to 1080 SC.
What's the best practice as far as drivers any guide out there?

So I've had a EVGA GTX 1080 (SC) for about a week now, but not without kind of a show stopping issue:
Sometimes it doesn't seem to allow the PC to post at all. And sometimes I do hear the Win10 startup sound, but there's no image (no mobo startup gfx either) just a black screen.
I have a multi monitor setup (primary monitor being of the ASUS ROG gsync variety), but it makes no difference whether I connect one or all of them.
Can't get into safe mode either.
Only thing that works is removing the card and using the onboard gfx.
Anyone encounter similar issues?
/edit: (it has worked for a couple of days)
