Has anyone yet tested a 1080 with better power yet?

[Tythus]

In the title but has anyone tested a better power delivery 1080 with more 2x8/1x8&1x6 yet? I'm umming and aaaing between the msi and evga hybrids

The Asus Strix has been tested (8 pin + 6 pin) and has poor overclocking.

If the rest turn out like this, then the custom cards will just be quieter and not downclock themselves, rather than being able to clock higher.

All those hoping for huge clocks with beefed up power delivery are going to be disappointed, 1080 maxes out at 2050-2100mhz, FE or not.

Is that the same for 1070 aswell ?

I'm happy with that. I don't need any more then that. This will be my last GPU upgrade for a few years at least. Not gaming as much and might go a different direction next upgrade.

If the 1070 can get to 2100 MHz, it'll be doing better (relatively) since it starts at a much lower clock at stock.

Has it purposely been gimped by nVidia to not go higher or can we expect other third party cards with custom power delivery to remedy the issue? I can't see people shelling out for a lightning edition if three connectors make sod all difference.

Seems to clock well

I think it's the limit of the chip.

Even underwater yields no more headroom.

Say so, if more power aint helping the 1080 the 1070 aint going to need it.

I'm going for an EVGA 1070 SC with just the eight pin, paying more for another power connector and beefed up PCB aint worth it. Bonus is just the one power cable keeps the build neater.

I've heard it said that the chip is locked at a certain voltage, and all attempts to bypass that lock so far have failed (at least with ASUS Strix). So maybe custom video BIOS along with VRM modifications can help?

what?

Hmmm Afterburner 4.3 beta 4 added 1070 and 1080 support as well overvoltage support too.

It seems stock bios has very strict voltage limits making 2100mhz the limit without a custom bios

It looks like it from the specs, but in reviews the 1070 boosts higher than the 1080, lower base clock but higher boost clock. Well I have not looked at many 1070 reviews but that is what I read.

I think we got Fury X situation here and even if we get extra 100mv on core we will end up with max of 50-100mhz with that no matter what temperature is (not talking ln2)
