Thanks. I was convinced it had to be on the window where you set graphics options before you load the game.

Is Forza Horizon still not optimized or something? Only getting frames in the mid 50's on ULtra at 1440p. I havent played it since release week.
What's your CPU?

Play with settings a bit. Try turning MSAA off for example. It's perfectly capable of running at 60 fps now but you have to tweak it to get there.

MSI has one of the better coolers on the market now though.
It's like they're all rejected concept car designers.
One of the reasons I like Noctua so much - they do the engineering work and then just release the product as-is. I'll take bland over gaudy.
How often do you look at your graphics card ? lol
I'm still having issues getting it to stay at a stable 60 as well. I'm on a 4790k + 1080ti. CPU and GPU utilization both hover around 50-60%. If I turn off MSAA I can get a stable 70fps or so but there are jaggies everywhere.
Speaking of GOOD FORTUNE AND LUCK. Props for MSI Europe in this department.
My 980 Ti suffered a failure 2 days before the announcement of the 1080 Ti. I have been waiting for MSI to do the RMA repair, but they said they had to send me a new one and they didn't have one in stock, so, they would refund me the original value I payed for it (699).
They also told me I could pay for a similar value product and they would adjust (Pay me back/Pay them) the difference.
I'm now a proud new owner of a 1080 Ti FE for 150 difference.
For 1440p... that's like, a 50% increase in performance for the same W.
Too bad it's a Founders Edition and loud as heck. Probably buying an Hybrid kit in the future.

While true in general I think that MSI Twin Frozr VI design is among the better ones out there. In both looks and performance.
Try using DSR / supersampling instead of MSAA.
One hell of a deal you got there since the 980ti goes for like 300 used?
Completely. It devalued so much, but that was to be expected, the 1070 was actually a great deal with the same performance.
The older ones looked a bit better visually.
It's like the folks designing these coolers, shrouds and whatnot have watched too many Michael Bay Transformers movies and just think adding more angles and edges to everything is good design.

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Strix review: de eerste custom 1080 Ti
The new one is considerably larger though.
The new one is considerably larger though.
Just purchased a FE from nvidia. Haven't used a blower design since my GTX 570. I was going to wait for the after market coolers but then decided a large reason I was willing to buy it was because it was "only" 700 dollars. The additional 10% or higher mark up for me wasn't worth as I don't fiddle with or OC my cards as much as I used to. Pretty excited I took the plunge. Will be selling my 980Ti to a friend. Hopefully have the card by middle of next week.

Still don't get why the Strix is being sent out to reviewers if it's not going to be released for like 3 to 5 more weeks.

Anyone here upgraded from a heavily overclocked 980ti ?
Worth it ? I game in 1080p 144hz and have a Vive (VR)

See my post from earlier in the thread. My 980ti was at ~1340 on the core and ~1900 on memory.
That's at 1440p but the 1080ti is an absolute improvement. CPU limiation is a concern at 1080p but I think you'll enjoy the upgrade, especially for VR.

Well I don't know if I'm very sensitive to frametimes or something, but I'm sooooo glad i dumped SLI

Thanks !

Got one of these on preorder and I'm wondering if it's even going to fit inside my Fractal R4. I might have to remove my additional HDD rack
Thanks! I had seen the gaming nexus video, but I don't have the bracket that fits on with that.
I'll try out the Kraken fittings when I get home tonight and see if it'll fit, then order some vram heatsinks with some thermal tape.
My 980ti with the kraken has been fine with the vram temps, so I'm not sure if the 1080ti vram will be a big spike in terms of temp overall.
I'll probably test it and underclock the vram until I get the heatsinks in.
Just installed my new 1080 Ti.
The cooler looks great but... pretty disapointed with the small fan. It makes a huge rattling noise. At 50% it's a constant high pitched sound. I wouldn't mind if I just heard the AIR moving but god damn this sound.
I wonder if I can fix it. I think it's because my card is inverted and the FE cooler isn't really expecting the fan to be upside down...

If your fan is inverted, some fans with a certain type of bearing do click, rattle and whine. No fix to that really except getting another type of fan.
Get a CLC setup or real WC.

are you guys running dx12 when available?
with my 980ti's i completely avoided that setting, as it never brought any improvements

Depending on where you are you should be able to get one of these in a week or two. The Strix OC model may come later I think.

Looks like they redid the twin forzor. Wonder how the performance and cooling will be compared to the new STRIX.

They did and if you go through the link to TPU they say that "The company is gunning for making this the quietest air-cooled GTX 1080 Ti money can buy, and so it invested "heavily" on beefing up the heatsink, the underlying heatspreaders, and tuning the fans to focus on low-noise, while keeping the GPU far away from the 82°C thermal-throttle."
Didn't realize the OC one was further out. They reviewed it a few days ago. I assumed it would release in early April at the latest. Will be disappointed if that is not the case.

Looks like it is a whole inch wider than regular cards
edit: I looked back to check the size of evga cards, the FTW3 seems like it will be also pretty wide, ~1/2" wider than FE.

The thing is the OC edition and the Turbo are the only ones listed on the site. Did they mean the OC edition?
I hope so because; My Body Is Ready!

Hmm I might hold out for one of these then. Wonder if the clocks will be the same as the STRIX.
The card is undeniably huge but I also think that's a very small person holding it
