Yep, don't do it, Aero's generally don't cool all that well.

In that case, the FE is step-up-able, and I was only in queue from 3/29 to 4/7.

Can anyone confirm if the standard Aorus definitely comes with 3 years warranty?
Is this white Gigabyte Gaming OC any good?

At a vendor of ours.
Newegg seems to have them though. On mobile so I can't copy links very well. Punch GTX 1080 TI AERO 11G in the Newegg search bar. Keep in mind Neweggs seller has close to 20% margin on that card.

No problem. They are basically just cheap FE variations. Often times noisier.

Outstanding. Considering I have a 1080 and 3 months of "step up" range, I'll watch what the options become over the next couple of months. If the SC becomes available for the program, I'll just step up. If not, I'll go FE. I might list the unopened 1080 FTW with some small discount to see if there are any buyers at might enable me to accelerate the process a bit. We'll see. Time is on side for a change.

"It's coming"?! What's coming? What else could you possibly announce?

Update on getting my free game through MSI:
I contacted them and they claim all vouchers must come from the retailer which I've seen before but did not happen in this case. I then contacted newegg and described the situation. They claim the promotion didn't start with my card until April 11th ( I purchased mine on the 6th) which is weird since this has been the Nvidia promotion for months for all high end cards. But they didn't hesitate to send me a voucher so that speaks well to their customer service.
So long story short, I got my game and I'm happy.

Awesome. I should try and see if I can get one for my Gaming X as well. Kind of weird that they didn't offer one but did for the other brands.

Was it a Ti? I preordered mine from Nvidia the moment it went live and I got a game, so their explanation is not right.

Yes, a 1080 ti Gaming X. The whole situation was weird. But I've seen offers appear and disappear by the refresh on newegg product pages. So sometimes you don't know if you're stepping in to trouble. But at least the situation was resolved without a hassle.
It wouldn't hurt. What's funny is now that newegg took care of me I get both the game, and the season pass offer from the MSI registration site. Not bad.

Time to try this one out and see how it compares.

My Strix OC should be getting delivered today (last day before Easter)... Gonna do the same thing as a few other people in here, try it out and then go back to Persona 5.

The box is bigger than the other 3 1080tis I've gotten. Newegg had to send it in a box the next size up from the ones they usually send video cards in.

Nice. I would be really interested in how this compares in terms of noise levels to the other cards you tested.

So here's one.... Got my Aorus and what do ya know my old Corsair 750w finally isn't able to help me. I just didn't realize how old it was by now and I can't achieve the 2nd 8 pin connector. So I have this amazing card and had to order a new psu which comes Friday, fuck my life!
Hellshingu

You can't use the adapters or new cables on your PSU?
So the Zotac card is a monster, it's just a little bit bigger than the Aorus I think because it is a solid design as opposed to the Aorus more "aerodynamic" look.
Been running it in heaven at stock settings and it's running at 2037MHz and been sitting at around 65c with some jumps into 66c after running the card for almost 30 minutes. The STRIX and Gaming X were around 68-69 and 70-71 respectively. Fans are a bit more quiet than the other 2.
Coil whine is at a minimum on this card compared to the other 3 brands I've tested. I am definitely impressed with it so far. Will have to try messing around with clocks and fan curves to see how it performs/sounds.

Nope, i have my 2 pcie cables that are 6 pin go to one single 8 pin. After that I have 2 molex with an adapter that gave me another 6 pin. That was how I ran all my other gpus obviously, 8 and 6 pin. My 1080 only needed the 8 pin which was fine and worked well enough but I can't achieve 2 8 pins. If that splitter coming out of the molex was to an 8 pin I could but it's only a 6.
Im stupid for simply not upgrading my Psu, it's never been a Pc part that I get to nuts over. It was 750w and everything ran so I just moved it into recent builds but it's now old as hell.
Just sucks. But I will say it was awesome unboxing this beast.

I upgraded from a 650w to an 860w just in case for my 1080 ti.

Is it a modular PSU? Then check your box, see if you've kept your cables.
If it's a non-modular PSU, then open your case and see if you've got the extra 8 pin lying around inside.

2 x 8 PCIe connectors or 2 x 6+2 PCIe connectors is what you are most likely to see. Can't you check your power supply directly?
Hellshingu

My supply came with multiple 6+2 connectors I feel like most do these days.

I know everybody is going crazy over the AIBs, but if anyone is interested in an EVGA FE...I'm selling one of mine

Already been registered with EVGA, 3 yr warranty etc
Upgrading to Titan Xp's Smokey?
It reaches 2037MHz with stock settings? jesus

That's what it's reporting unless things are wrong on my afterburner and heaven.
Seems pretty high to me so something might be up.
I added a custom fan curve that I was using with the other cards and I can't even hear any difference and got the card down to a solid 60-61c in heaven.

Nothing weird about that, my Gaming X stays at 2025 through most stress test and benchmarks. I'd fully expect the Zotac to be the most stable high frequency card. I dont think she's ever fallen down to the "official" boost of 1700ish.

Have come so close to hitting submit, but HDMI 2.0 is killing it. As I will be hooking up to 4K TV's, this is a lot to drop on a GPU that will be connector obsolete in 4-6 months. What are the odds we see revamped Ti's with HDMI 2.1 in a few months? Think Vega is far enough out to include it?
There might be adapters coming that do DisplayPort to hdmi?
Some of the features of HDMI 2.1 could be implemented with a firmware or software update. With zero 2.1 devices on the market, we most likely won't see it in devices until next year the earliest so if you want to make sure you have it, wait for Volta.
Felix Lighter
Member
It's possible. My card starts with a boost to 2025Ghz until the temp hits about 60C in Heaven and then drops to 1987Ghz
dr_rus
Member
Odds of Pascal getting HDMI 2.1 are close to none I think as 2.1 is a h/w change from 2.0. Volta will most likely support it.
Vega might have it as it's launching after the specs draft was published and there's already an implementation of it in Scorpio's APU which is AMD made.

If you plan on buying a tv in the next 2 years then for sure wait, if not then you won't be missing anything as no equipment supports it yet. Also I hope your ready to upgrade your whole setup as you'll need a new av reciever too if you are using one.
