Need more power for 3440x1440

I've bought a Aorus 1080Ti for £420. I was really impressed with how my other 1080Ti drove the monitor so figured I'd just buy another one rather than wait for what if or maybes :) The state of the market is just quite poor so once you get to this kinda resolution there isn't really a great buy.

The 1080Ti Xtreme is a great card, make sure to have the F4 bios as it sets it's factory OC clocks high, and unlocks the card to 375W.
Let us know if you managed to run Gsync on your Freesync monitor. If you cannot, try the Nvidia DP upgrade tool.

I can't get my Aorus over 2000 stable :(

How do I check the TDP?

The card won't clock at 2000 constantly on air. But it's factory clock is 2050 with the F4 bios, and maintains high clocks easily.

Doesn't the Xtreme have air cooling? Surely they'd not ship it at 2050 with F4 when it's unstable?
 
Same situation on a Samsung C34J791. Originally had a 1070 Ti on it, but wasn't particularly impressed with the performance and FreeSync support was patchy.

I can potentially see myself waiting for Navi20 as I'm only looking forward to the new Vampire the Masquerade game and Cyberpunk 2077, which are still ages off. Can definitely agree that the 1080 Ti is the minimum for 3440x1440 @ 100hz though.

Great choice and a great price. The Navi 5700XT wouldn't have been much of an upgrade. The only cards that were going to be worth jumping to were the 1080Ti, Vega II or 2080/Super.

Shame multi gpu is not very supported ATM, my two Vegas drive the crossy supported games with ease!

I said last year it would have been thier way back into the market... pushing crossfire but the split screen rendering version that has no delay or stutter each gpu renders left or right half of the screen. And you could have used two Navi that had no Raytracing and thus an opportunity to beat intel who have no split screen rendering and had to nerf thier performance to add RTX cores.


They never did this because either AMD are too dumb, But they manage to make these feats or they really are price fixing as the CEO of Nvidia an AMD are related.

From what i have gathered over the years it's not really AMD/Nvidia's fault and more to do with game engines just not working well or supporting multi gpu. So it was probably a non starter to consider multi gpu of any kind due to this.

At one point the above was baked into DX12 or Vulkan i am sure of it i have heard and seen slides of SFR was it called? It was split screen rendering.

Different parts of the image can have very wildly varying complexity, so performance scaling wouldn't be the greatest.
And trying to analyze image content and vary split between cards is again challenging when wanting to avoid delays.

Nvidia would have never left SLI drifting dead in water. if there were easy way to fully scale performance for multiple cards.

When implemented in dx12 games it did work well but i think it was still down to the developers to enable it. In dx12 multi gpu you could pair up an AMD and Nvidia gpu to run well.
 
Installed my new 1080Ti, much better frame rates than the Vega 56 @ 64 speeds. It's just night and day. The Vega is a great card for lower resolutions but at this resolution the 1080Ti is just so much faster, worth every penny. Just need to fiddle with Freesync now!!
 
It's because we already have a preliminary result to draw a rough estimate from -> Far Cry 5. I think over its life the 5700 XT will not exceed 15% performance bump V64.
 
Got Freesync working as well. At the same resolution and graphical settings the 1080Ti is putting out 66FPS where the Vega was doing 43FPS so there is a big improvement.

That's where the vast majority of speculation is pegging it. Most commentators/tech sites are expecting Vega 64+10%. +/- 5%.

And funny enough, that's the exact same performance the PS5 kits that developers have right now.
Not that it will be the 5700xt inside the PS5, but that's what they're using to develop on until Navi 2.0 is ready in 2020 with ray tracing
