NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti launch/review day - 2017/03/09
- Thread starter Kayant
- Start date
If you look up you will see my reason.
I don't know any better.
To me the reference blowers seem pretty good. Sucks from bottom and spits it out the back instead of over the cpu.
My other question is about water cooling is this bought as is or do you do it aftermarket?
Mass Effect is coming out so I can't wait too long.
Aftermarkets have a beefy markup where I live.
I like GPUs that don't dump additional heat into the case.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Very low value-for-money due to losing an entire pool of VRAM, failing to scale performance 1:1 with existing card, and lacking truly consistent driver and engine support across titles leading to some titles not supporting SLI at all.
$700 buys a lot of booze.
Or a very classy one
like can you even find in stock?

1080ti. Sli is almost dead, it's time to give it up.
Some cards will be priced similar, some will be quite a bit more expensive.
Doubt we will see anything below the FE cards though.
What resolution and framerate do you game at?
If the answer is 1080p 60Hz, then you should not upgrade.

I am gaming on my 4k TV (KS8000). The game I have been spending all my time with since I built it runs a solid 60fps maxed in 4K.
I am probably best waiting for the 1180 or even the 1180ti
I am planning on buying a 1440p 27" gsync monitor at some point

When is Amazon getting these bad boys?

What markup? The msrp is $699, all the sites are selling them for $699
If you don't have any need for it right now, it would probably be better to hold off until you do.

Need some advice guys. After returning my EVGA FTW GTX 1070 to Amazon, I managed to pile up to 600, so now I'm wondering if I should aim for the 1080Ti or if it would be wiser going for a 1080. Is the performance among both cards worh the 220 difference?

If you play in 4K then go with the Ti.

I'm guessing we'll be waiting a month for custom cards again and when they do appear it will be another insane massive shortage and feeding frenzy with Newegg and Nowinstock again like it was with the 1080. Sigh.
I still need to find someone who wants to buy my Asus Strix 1080. It's a pretty mundane one which hits 2063 core.

Uhm I just thought I could go for an EVGA FTW GTX 1080, and then apply for the step-up program..
You can, but you will only be able to step up to the Founder's Edition 1080Ti with the shitty blower cooler. Fine if you are going water cooling or going to buy a Hybrid kit to replace the default fan.
At some later date, they might offer the step up to the SC black edition that has the iCX cooler but that isn't guaranteed.

IIRC the step-up program lasts for 90 days. So, if EVGA releases any custom 1080Ti versions, would they be elegible, or would I be locked to the founders one?
Both
I dunno how it went with Pascal launch, but IIRC with the 980ti they put out the hybrid kits a bit earlier than they did the actual hybrid cards. I might be wrong about that though.
On my 980ti hybrid the kit was super easy to install. The only pain in the ass was that the reference shroud and heatsink were assholishly placed by nvidia, and it took forever and about 5 sets of screwdrivers to get it apart with one particular hex screw on there being wonky needing a specific tool from a specific manufacturer to get off without ruining the screw (which I didn't want to do for warranty reasons).
Not really "hard" to get apart though, just tedious.

This is my rig:
i7 4770k not overclocked (small case and bad airflow)
16gb ddr3 1866mhz
980ti not overclocked (same reason as cpu)
Do you think i'll be bottlenecked by cpu and ram if i'm gonna put in a 1080ti?
I'm worried about minimum fps..
Monitor is 1440p 165hz btw.

Not if you play on resolutions higher than 1080p

Occasionally, at high framerates the CPU would be hit at 1440p based on the Digital Foundry review but I doubt it would be a major issue. At 1080p though, without downsampling, the card just sits around waiting for the CPU.
Hey fellas,
I'm thinking of upgrading my rig with this bad boy:
GTX 980
3570k @4.4Ghz
16GB ram
Play @ 1080p resolution. (Recently had some issues playing Witcher 3 @ Ultra 60fps, thats why I'm thinking of upgrading)
Would you guys think it is worth it?
Will my CPU be a bottleneck?
Thanks.

At 1080p60, I would find it hard to justify. Neither the CPU or the GPU would be a bottleneck in the vast majority of games at 60fps. I'd say a better option may be to keep an eye out for a used 980ti since there will be a ton on the market soon.
Yeah, it's just smarter to save that money and buy next year's upgrade if your're just dying to spend $700.

No they don't let you upgrade to the same model type. You can't go 1080ti to 1080ti, if for some assholeish reason nvidia released Volta next month, you could do that.

This isn't true. On the step up page it gives an example of stepping up from the 970 FTW to the 970 FTW+.
They rarely add cards like that to the list unless they have been out forever. If I recall when 1080 releases they only had models with the reference PCB.
I'll be stepping up from a 1080 ICX to a FE. That's once they swap my FTW for the ICX.

Ordered myself a MSI GeForce GTX 1080Ti Gaming X OC
Just got to wait for a shipment date now :/ Any ideas when they are going to be released?

We've only head a tentative April release on the custom cards so far (from OCUK). EVGA said May for their high-end FTW3
Where were you able to put in an order for that card? That's the one I'm most interested in given my history with MSI.

I hate this part of the video card game, waiting for custom cooler cards to come out. It's always seems like it makes the month much longer.
I got the auto rush and bumped the shipping up to...two day I think?
It's been in packaging since yesterday afternoon, estimated ship date is Monday. Hope that means I'll get it Wednesday.

Installed the hybrid cooler from my 980ti onto the 1080ti. First time messing with installing a different GPU cooling system myself, but everything went smoothly.
Max core clock so far is 2063Mhz and temp hasn't gone over 38C

That's great. Have you noticed a big jump in performance from the 980Ti?
Yah I paid Nvidia the max shipping fee for 10:30AM delivery yesterday. It finally arrived around 6PM.
No recourse because Fedex declared some crisis due to storms in Memphis the night before. My card was on a local truck 20 minutes away at 6:30AM, so obviously it wasn't affected by this storm. The storm just gave them the ability to give zero fucks and keep my money.

What cooler?
38C even on load??
How loud is it etc at load?
