According to MSI afterburner my card seems to go up to 1823mhz in siege..is it normal for it to go that high at stock? Not that I'm complaining!

Yep. When there is headroom in terms of thermal they can boost quiet nicely. One reason why aftermarket cards and one under water typically boost higher and can maintain boost for sustained periods with quiet fan profiles.

I assume this varies from card to card? So is anyone noticing any drops below the advertised spec as per some of the reviews? Can't say I've noticed any until it auto clocks down on menus etc. I've noticed slight drops in game but nothing anywhere near the 1733mhz boost speed.

Yes. first of all the boost clock of 1733 quoted is fairly conservative of Nvidia, more often then not it will boost higher when temps are good. How high it goes also varies on the quality of the chip. One of my two boosts to 1848 without touching anything and the other to 1823 for example. I expect this is in part why boost is specified as so low, to take into account the various silicon quirks.

As the card gets hotter the boost will reduce accordingly. Once you reach the thermal target point (by default set to around 83 degrees but can be changed) the card will downclock more aggressively to stay at the target point.

For reviews its likely they were going over the thermal target point causing the boost to lower while for yourself that's not the case. Like yourself I find the basic fan profile does enough to hold the boost speed fine most the time no issue.

Brill. I may add another in SLI at some point! Which bridge would be best to get?

Best Bridge would be the upcoming Nvidia HB bridge or the various incarnations the manufactures such as EVGA, MSI et al are producing similar to that.

I personally do believe the current crop of LED bling bridges such as the EVGA V2 and what not would be fine, but as Nvidia have not been explicitly clear, waiting for the former would be the best bet.

Thanks mate what would we would be looking at price wise? I assume my 750w G2 PSU would be fine to run two?

I imagine you will be fine. Ran 2 TX's and 4790k off a single 750W unit before no complaint and the 1080 uses considerably less then the TX's. Looking around the figures also stack up. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-pascal,review-33557-10.html

Very nice!

Let us know how you get on with it, got me all exited. Mine are here tomorrow .

Cheers

This card is insane....

The Ti variant is going to change gaming forever.... It will be an absolute beast...I sure hope NV release one...

This thing is running 2075\5454 on stock vcore temps 77c with fan at 60%

Any throttling issues?

No,

Temps are within range.

oddly I think my radiator fan is helping.

I have it mounted on the side panel of the case directly above the gpu...

Nice one

What sorcery voodoo back magic is this ??

I thought you where not going down the 1080 route after all the talk you did about it...

Did i miss summit

Glad to hear your happy with it ...Yes the TI is going to be a true beast that is for sure but @ BEASTLY PRICE will see

Thats amazing overclock makes wonder what sort of clocks we will get with aftermarket coolers like evga ftw and classified.

Hmm, I hope many of those who went on and on about the earlier throttling issues and how the 1080 was a failure because of it from a few earlier cards with initial drivers and making a big deal of it are reading .........
It might be just a case that the production cards are just slightly different in one way or another, or proper drivers now ready.

....I thought I read you weren't going to get a FE anywya ? - haaaaa

No need to hope, it's pretty much a given considering NVIDIA have released one for the last two generations. It'll have a much larger gap on a Titan X, but I don't know about changing gaming forever. Will definitely do until the 1180 comes out and loadsa ppl ditch their 1080Ti's. The cycle to have the flagship GPU will continue.
