Yeah mine was up and down like a yo-yo yesterday. Bloody annoying! Would setting the fan curve at 60-70% solve it?

interesting read.... so as i thought maxwell on speed ...nvidia are already being aggressive with there clocks ...brute force....
To add and i may get burned for this how do we know that these so called new features in pascal for vr fast sync ect are not hard ware on the die but simply driven via software in the driver ?

its tough to make out if he means going higher than 1.25v on water offers no benefit, or if he means going any higher than stock volts (1.093v?) offers no benefit
No it does not
Seems to be no real pattern. Manually setting a fan profile does not help nor any software / tools you have open / closed. Witcher 3 is driving me nuts 
I would have thought these guys would have spotted an issue such as this as its affecting all the cards regardless of brand / BIOS on the card. Do hope it will be solvable via driver update, though I do have RMA numbers at the ready in event next driver does not fix it. Do not want to be out the 14 day window with this issue

Yes its not right
i would be fuming myself if i had spent that amount of money and be getting that issue seems to me the founders edtion = finding problem edition ..
I hope they fix it for u and all the owners ... which i am sure they will your doing the right thing give them time up until your RMA windows if not send back and get a AIB..
Its the same with the power chocks high pitch squeal with some peeps that put up with it i wouldn't i have sent back many cards cos of this you would not buy and keep a car or a fridge if it did the same so why should it be the same for a GFX.

Looking good. Certainly interested in seeing the OC SLI vs 1080 OC though. Or even 1080 SLI OC vs 980Ti SLI OC.

I thought regular spooling up of the blower was normal lol... Good to hear a fix is on the way!

My resistance is good. Priced up a new PC today including EVGA 1080 but have binned the basket for another few weeks as can't decide on exact spec of system, or exactly what I want out of the system!

My card is in transit, gonna be here on Monday. Gonna give PC big clean and re format when install card.
Witcher 3 is main reason for Nvidia over AMD this time. Want to play through the new expansion and GTX 1080 gives so many more FPS than all the other cards.

interesting for 2 reasons, one when I had ti SLI the scaling was almost non-existant, no where near 98% utilisation, so that has improved at least (I'm no longer playing witcher 3 though, so not much use to me now)
the other is actually how close a 1080 is to 980ti SLI - I want more FPS in single card, so its looking good from that perspective
