Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

ASUS GTX 1080 Strix Gaming 8 GB

I just checked and wow. The Strix like MSI's card costs more than a damn founders edition card.

If you're in Canada the only cards worth buying are the Gigabyte G1 or the EVGA ACX. All the others are complete ripoffs that match or exceed FE cards.

My EVGA 1080 SC ACX3.0 just shipped from NCIX!

With a bit of luck I'll have it on friday!

Mine still hasnt been shipped to the local NCIX store yet :(
 
Draughn, et al: played ~30 minutes of Doom, temps hovering around 78 degrees C with stock settings. At 1440P, Ultra settings. This is with very minimal fan involvement, however.

EDIT: With a mild OC and an aggressive fan curve, it stabilizes at ~65 degrees C, which I'm pretty happy with.

Wow, that second temp is great. Thanks for that. I ordered some Corsair SP120 High Performance for intake fans. Hopefully that clears things up. If not I'm going to grab a hybrid card when they drop and sell my SC on here. That's probably the cheapest route to fix my issue.

Thanks! How much of an OC are we talking here? And what percentage is your fan profile?
 
It would be cool if I could buy one of these cards.

Basically have 10 minutes when in stock or out of luck. Looking at the Strix of G1 right now.
 
I haven't used 3DMark in years. Am I supposed to be changing the default output resolution in settings? Trying to figure out why my scores suck so much. I have a Haswell i7 at 4Ghz so I'm not bottlenecking there.
 
Scored an EVGA 1080 ACX SC off Newegg and it arrived yesterday and I put a whole new build together in an Ncase M1. Went from a Core 2 Duo, 7850 to this. Glad it all turned on...

After running Heaven on loop, temps stabilize at 73c. No fan profiles so far. I have x2 120mm Silencios underneath to help it. It will work in an SFF form factor.

I'd give a new game a try for temp readings. I couldn't get Heaven or Firestrike to adequately represent what my temps were in a gaming session. Doom/Witcher3/Mirrors Edge definitely do it for me. Congrats on the upgrade!

Gotta say the MSI gaming X card is excellent, if you want low temps and a virtually no fan noise card, this is the one to get! OC'd to a constant 2025 MHz clock, with a default fan profile, it never goes above 65c and you cannot hear the fans, it's great, and coupled with a 110i GT CPU cooler I've just added, the PC is quieter than I've ever known it. Awesome card.

Did you use msi afterburner? If so what voltage, core and memory settings did you set plz? Can you post a image even better :)

I won't be near my PC till tonight, yeah use afterburner, but voltage is default with a grey'd out bar, memory is +600, did try 700 but it had a detrimental effect and lowered fps. Core +127, gets me to 2025, I should be able to get higher, but Dark Souls 3 kept crashing, but every other game was fine at 2050.

Thanks buddy i am installing mine today :) good to know the extra i paid for silent gaming will pay off heh
 
Just scored an ACX SC from Newegg, even though they had the normal ACX as available Internationally it fucked me off, but oddly the SC didn't.

Thank you Distil lmao. Cost me $947 AUD all up incl, 2-3 international shipping. I still haven't heard anything from Amazon on the other so I'll wait until this defo ships early morning and cancel that one.

All in all from cheapest Aus prices I've saved $250. Can't go wrong there.
 
A fellow Aussie who pre-ordered a G1 on Amazon an hour after I did and opted for standard shipping (I paid the slight premium for expedited) had his order updated two days ago with an estimated delivery date, whereas mine has still yet to move an inch. This is rather frustrating.

Word of warning though about the MSI gaming app which controls LED's etc, it's completely broken, when activated it totally destroyed my framerate, I was getting around 10fps when on, im using latest win 10 and newest Nvidia drivers. Hope they fix it.
 
Man the price gouging is real at Caseking. After the G1, they now sell the MSI Aero cheap ass blower card for 749€ (MSRP 709€).
I wouldn't be surprised if they sell the first Gaming Xs, FTWs, STRIXs etc for a similar premium instead of fulfilling pre-orders since some dumbasses seem to buy the cards at this price (G1 was sold out pretty fast).

Set up a reminder on Now In Stock and order it else where.

Doubtful any other store will have them earlier. Apparently EU stock is in production starting next week according to the EU EVGA dude, then shipping etc
I think 27th is pretty optimistic

What about your voltage?
Click to expand...

I'm actually a bit unclear on this, since Precision XOC has no way (that I can see) where you can give an exact voltage offset. I tried setting the curved bar on the left side to a 6-7% increase, but I'm not even sure that's what setting 6% on there means. The software is very buggy and won't even let me store my profiles.
 
I am looking to buy this one:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Gaming G1

But is there any better card out right now in this series? Strix?

Do you have to use Precision if you have an EVGA card or can you use other OC software like afterburner?

You can use whatever you wish. EVGA has their auto overclock thing that only work on their own cards, while things like LEDs will require the proper match as well. The core features will be supported on whichever you choose.

ewwww, do they have no faith in their products that they are trying to skew the results??
Click to expand...

I'm not sure if it is faith in the products or faith in the reviewers. Like the article said, those clock profiles can be enabled by the customer just not be default. Seems like a really stupid thing for them to be doing.
 
Very pleased with the MSI Gaming X so far. +150 core/ +500 memory through Afterburner so no increase in Power or Voltage. Temps are exactly same as non OC: Idle 45(38 with fans) and temps between 68-76 under full load. Never above 76 and fans usually spinning at 65%. Very quiet as the reviews have stated.

The only strange thing I noticed is the core clock will lower itself at times from 2050 to 2038 to 2025.

The question I have is what is better for the longevity of the card: The default fan profile which leaves the fans completely off until reaching 50c where my card idles at 45c OR custom fan curve with the fans always running which allows my gpu to idle a little cooler at 38c?

I've been out of the GPU game for a long time (my last card was a 570), so I didn't know about this. Definitely not going to stick with XOC as it seems like a buggy mess right now.
 
Seems like NCIX no longer has stock of the SC in their warehouse. Dunno if this means that they shipped them from the warehouse or it was just a bug and they never had stock to begin with.
 
I'm really enjoying the EVGA 1080 SC. I have to give special thanks to Newegg, I ordered the card at noon on the 14th and chose 3-day shipping but I received it in the mail exactly 24 hours later. Maybe it helps that I'm only 2 hours away from their HQ, but it was still a pleasant surprise.

the core clock thing is because all NVIDIA cards thermal throttle now ever since GPU BOOST was introduced. if you want to remove the thermal throttling limitation run your fans between 80-100% constantly without a fan curve and you should be okay.

The fans off threshold should actually be 60C. 45C idle is nothing to these cards, that kind of heat won't have any meaningful effect on the card.

I am more annoyed because my card idles at ~1700MHz, at around 59-63C because I have three screens. It's constantly switching fans on and off because the threshold for that is 60C. Same MSI Gaming X card as you have. I really need to look into Nvidia inspector soon to fix these idle clocks.
