The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

[tyler_jrb]

@tyler - did you do them benchmarks we talking about or are you still at work

I'll stick them up in a bit

If I recall 2000 was about 19400, 2100 was just under 20k

That was with stock memory and 4.5ghz on the CPU. I'll post the actual scores up in a bit

Why mine so bloody slow then, looks like this is what I'll be doing tonight, betting my CPU O/C has fallen off.

Does make a difference if you set your monitor to 1080p for the bench seeing as it is a 1080p benchmark. It's not a huge one but it helps.

Could be the backwards 5390k in your sig

I've always had AMD GPUs previously so changing cards has been very simple. Now I have an Nvidia GPU, I presume that there are steps to follow to switch cards. Here's a shot at the steps I assumed would be necessary but I'm computarded so all input welcome:
- in bios, set to onboard graphics
- shut down
- plug screen into mobo port, remove GPUs
- boot to OS and remove drivers (any special software for this or just the standard uninstall process?)
- insert new GPU and reboot.
- install new drivers
- change bios to GPU

Am I nearly there with that?

make sure g sync is off it will limit frames to 100 lol

also 1080p in benchies

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1080.​

No need for all of that. Grab Display Driver Uninstaller, run it and follow the instructions for booting into safe mode, tick the box for installing a new GPU and run, when the comp restarts, shut down - remove old GPU, place new GPU in and install latest NVidia drivers

I'm doing it even simpler: uninstall driver etc., switch GPU, run CCleaner (registry and regular cleaner), install driver reboot. Never ever had a single issue.

I applied for a step-up with EVGA yesterday to the non-SC version of the 1080 from the 980Ti FTW I bought - and just today all the non-FE were removed from the list! Hoping EVGA honour the step-ups that got through before they were removed as it'll mean I'll get an ACX 3.0 1080 for around £545, which is around the price of the clown cards, so that's pretty decent!

Having done the same thing 3 weeks ago I'm helping you hope...

Soopah! Thanks a lot.

Spoke with EVGA and they said:


"We had to remove this model as an option for the Step-Up because of the huge demand.
Your Step-Up however is of course still running and we will of course inform you should there be any issues with it."

I asked for confirmation if I'll still get the 1080 ACX 3.0 model - I do t want anything else.

 

[adbee]

Jesus, what case are you using out of interest, I have no doubt now the airflow is at fault.

I could kiss you!

I have corsair obsidian 550d silent. It has a noise filter over the intake fans. I have removed this and my temps have dropped to 49c in firestrike ultra. So relieved.

Thanks very much for your help.

edit: Just realised how stupid I have been, that noise filter should have been removed when the fans were installed!!!

That's crazy how I decided to apply for it less than 12 hours before it was taken off haha

Though I did manage to check my queue position - 1768... It'll be a long wait

 

[MooMoo444]

So anyone regretting getting a 1080?

Not really looking to troll the people who bought one, just curious as I was on the fence myself, and opted to wait for the 1080Ti equivalent.

How do you check your queue position? For me it just shows pending and EVGA told me I'd never see the position but would just get notified when it's ready?

 

[ForthRight]

I'm actually considering returning mine. I upgraded from 980 Ti SLI to 1080 SLI.

It was a very noticeable upgrade - maybe SLI shows an even bigger improvement compared to a single card upgrade as you get the extra frames from both cards and added together it was a nice increase. The fans are also much quieter (all my cards were reference FE etc).

However I still have my 980 TI's and although i could try to sell them for £300 each I'm struggling to justify the cost of the new cards. If money isn't an issue then I definitely recommend the 1080, but for me the money could be better used elsewhere.

Sold a 980Ti a while ago, so it won't be a big deal, most of all I just can't stay any longer without playing

With onboard gpu I ended up playing Mobas...

I'm afraid if I post it publicly they'll take it down. They already removed 90% of the ways to check cus everyone was doing it, but there is still one way
