Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

DSR is a thing and you should be abusing it religously. You can easily use 4x DSR to generate a downscaled 4K source resolution and still manage 50-60 fps in DOOM. If you're on a high refresh display, use 2x DSR to downscale from 1440p and stay above 100 fps.

Yeah I'll try this later tonight.

What are some games I should get to really blow me away visually.

I have Witcher 3, Forza beta, Quantum Break, Doom. Those are my latest pickups.

Is DSR just downsampling?
 
What's the best way to overclock my G1 1080? I have it set to OC mode via the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming Engine but surely I could better?

Bro, I think somebody bent your screen.

Enjoy your card man. I am still holding out for my First wave FTW B&H preorder. Have no clue when it will get here but this launch has been such a wreck I just need to stop worrying and do something else. Not even going to track it. When it gets here I will be pleasantly surprised.

It's a curved 3440x1440 Samsung. Got that in yesterday too :)

I got my strix but now I'm getting blue screens randomly and the fans go to max but shows my rpm as 0. I might have a faulty card.
Click to expand...

Ouch, I wonder if you got a faulty card or its widespread. I bought a 670 Asus DirectCu back then and it crashing was widespread because the OC was set higher than normal.

Why is Nvidia using some marketing term with DSR then?
Click to expand...
DSR implements many things that weren't possible before it (higher resolution downsampling, higher quality filtering, independent of refresh rates and hardware...).

Well, things that weren't possible in DX11.
Obviously they were pioneered in the innovative -- trailblazing, really -- GeDoSaTo tool for DX9. (:P)

Bit-Tech has Evga FTW review here: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2016/06/15/evga-geforce-gtx-1080-ftw-review/1

Unfortunately they don't have any noise tests. For thermal testing they use delta T so you can only really compare it with other results that use delta T. Also their card was not much of an overclocker but we've known that for a while, it's luck of the draw as to how your card overclocks and they are all quite close to each other.

Now I want to wait for the Classified, but lord knows when those will be out.
 
Are any SC reviews available?

Extra bullet point at the presentation. To be fair they did make downsampling a lot easier, no need to change desktop resolution before launching the game, does not require extra client to make it work.

Ah, gotcha

Yes

Actually, no. It's a custom shader based downsampling which allow for more flexibility than a usual downsampling. Their default filtering algorithm seems to be better than straight bilinear as well. So it's basically downsampling but customized a bit.

Great cooler, shame that almost all cards are maxing out their overclocks around the same place though (even the FE).

My 970 Twin Frozr has been excellent, but I might go for a Gigabyte G1 for my next card (1070?).
Click to expand...

Yeah, mines 2025 MHz, but hey we all know Nvidia shitted us with that demo, but I'm very happy, it's rock solid with no dips in play, can't really ask for much more, Nvidia showed us the carrot that 99% of us won't get.

You likely cant do much better. Maybe 50 to 100mhz more. Id use msi afterburner

Hey, I just received my SC today. I'll let you know how my temps compare to yours.
Click to expand...

Thanks I appreciate it.

I did find out that if I remove the front cover of my case, that channels air through two small slits to feed the intake fan, my temps drop to 70C with a +125 core and +400 mem OC with a full load in Doom/Mirrors Edge/Witcher 3. So I either need to change out these intake fans to SP fans, or ditch this case for something else.

What case do you have?

I thought initially you said the SC was running at 70C when clocked at 2GHZ?

The Phanteks P400. I found that when I run with my case completely closed up, after about an hour, the temps start creeping to 80C when gaming. Benchmarks have not been able to get anywhere near that temp.

When I remove that front enclosure that squeezes air through two tiny slots, my temps sit at 69C in Doom, no matter how long I play, and with a much less aggressive fan curve.

Wonder how my Fractal Design R5 will handle it then.

Do you not run the card at a 2GHZ base clock anymore? are those temps just with the factory OC?

FYI, I have Fractal Design Define R5 which is a similar setup. However, instead of two tiny slots the whole side/corner of the front enclosure intakes air.

I won't be able to test this until tonight.

Heh, it seems like my results will be relevant for you as well.

Nice, do you only have the stock case fans or did you add more?

I noticed that the temps get wild, with or without OC. I removed the dust screens from the two inlets, and get about 77C now, but the fans are blazing.

Onemic said:

I am only missing one exhaust fan on the top. So, 1x140mm on top, 1x120mm back, 2x140mm front. I have them all set to max and the problem persists.
 
HowardRoark said:
Just the two stock 140mm case fans. I'm open to adding another intake fan if needed, though.
Click to expand...

Ok, I'm really interested to see your temps. Remember that benchmark tools won't give you a very good idea of what temps to expect in games. It's Doom level that works mine. Rocket League, CS GO, etc, sit at about 55-60C and 2126MHz no problem.

This is the size of the front intake slots on the P400...

Pretty good graphics score without touching the clocks. I'd be interested in a 30+ minute run in Doom and what your clocks level out to and temps.
Click to expand...

I did a 30 minute run for you. 1440p UItra settings. Default out of the box (no OC).
Core clock leveled at 1911 with a max of 1936.

Temp max was 72.
Ranging from 68-71 most of the time.
 
Getting screen tearing on my desktop when I scroll. It's really annoying. Can I enable vsync or something? Running at 3440x1440
I only notice it when my window is full screen. If the window is only taking up half the screen I don't see it

Are you using G-Sync?

Also which monitor? Make sure you have G-Sync enabled if you're using an x34. If you are your OC to 100 may not work. You will need to drop it to 95.

i currently consider canceling my EVGA FTW preorder and go with MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X after all that positive feedback

The Msi Gaming x has a custom pcb right ?
Click to expand...

Canceled mine too, in favor of the MSI one. I wanted to match my case (has a window) and Motherboard.
 
All, how am I meant to know which is the best partner card to go for? Some of these cards are clocking faster than others, but apart from that, what else is there? Noise? Power consumption? I'm not gonna see huge performance differentials between the partner cards am I/

I'm probably gonna jump on the MSI Gaming X card, just want to make sure.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_1080_STRIX/

Man, that silicon lottery is a bitch. I can't think of any obvious reason why the STRIX would beat the FTW other than luck of the chip. I guess I should be happy I got in on the Gigabyte G1 deal with the free mouse, can't beat the $650 + a free $30 gaming mouse I guess.

Honestly you might as well just the EVGA Supercock instead of the FTW and save the cash.
