Bit odd that it stays under 70c yet the boost stays under 2ghz, that's 2 reviews I've seen so far with the clocks that way. Other cards seem to run a bit hotter but boost over 2ghz.

Very happy mate. Glad I bought my EVGA 1080 FTW for £608. Though prices have got a little silly. My 1080 is a beast! Everything on ultra on my 3440x1440p Acer x34a ultra-wide. I see no need for a 1080 Ti. It should hold me a few years.

yeah, you're probably right, however it's expected to be the first true 4k card. Assuming it's not priced crazy, might actually get a 1080 TI.
Impossible! (well to keep at 60fps and above anyway)
Probably doesn't use AA

The Zotac is so heavy and big! I got 2075 boost outa the box so I'm not gonna bother with overclocking
Here you can see the sagging:
So i just made a temp fix by using some thin fishing line lol:
You can barley see it anyway, so not that fussed.

Clever way of holding the weight 
what did you try to get 2075ghz that's a good speed out the box
what did you try to get 2075ghz that's a good speed out the boxThat just goes to show how ridiculous gpu coolers have got, hotter cores requiring ever increasing slabs of copper and aluminium attached with multiple fans. My strix cards also sag despite the so called "gpu reinforcer" bracket on it.

I didn't do anything, i saw it stay at that when i played Battlefield, with Msi afterburner running in the background

Where can I post to ask OCUK when the Asus Strix OC will be back in stock?

I have posted this in other threads but thought I should post it here in case anyone is considering the Gainward Phoenix GLH.
Mine is set up in an old Silverstone FT02 case and is running stable at 2152Mhz with 65% fan and stays below 65c on benchmarks. Time Spy score below, held back by an old i5 4690k but the graphics score is great for an air cooled card.

I would recommend the card to anyone, just be sure to check you have enough space before you buy as it is a large card. Also be aware it has a massive LED on the side which luckily can be turned off or changed colour.

hi all just purchased the Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1080... I don't know whether I feel sick from excitement or from how much I just spent on it!

You soon get over the price when you realise you now have all the Graphikkz
