1080 gtx on a z77 motherboard

I'd be amazed if there was any noticeable performance issues with this setup, what CPU and OC (if any) are you using.
edit: and what Mobo are you using?

I went from a 7950 to a GTX970 and my board has never boot correctly since, updated BIOS etc, seems to be a common issue with my board, you mentioned Z77 and gigabyte so I imagine is something similar.
There are threats on its boot issue but some are random and not related to hardware changes like mine.

did you completely remove the AMD drivers, I had issues when I went from a 750to to a 7950 due to old drivers lingering about.

I had this happen when I went from 5850 to 280X on a Gigabyte Z77 D3H motherboard. So try this -
Put your old card back in....
Go into the motherboard's BIOS and in PCIe slots settings change it from EFI to Legacy support.
It may be labelled 'PCI ROM priority', and the choices are 'EFI compatible ROM' and 'Legacy ROM'...choose Legacy Rom.
Then shutdown and put the new card back in again....and hey presto....it now works! (I hope). Well it has worked for a few people before without need for a BIOS update....so fingers crossed for you.

It's a gigabyte ga-z77x-ud3h motherboard and a 3570k clocked at 4.4. The board has had issues ever since I bought it from new - it doesn't like cold boots and doesn't like Windows 10s fast boots but I could never bring myself to send it back as it's rock solid once booted.

Z77X-D3H & GTX1080 here with zero issues. Runs extremely well.

That board put me of Gigabyte products full stop. The amount of crap I had to deal with whilst I owned that was beyond frustrating.

What problems did you have?

Eventually, things seemed to settle down but I consider it to be the most problematic board I can remember using. Of course, user error needs to be taken into account as well, but having said that the Z77-D3H motherboard does seem to be well known for its teething troubles so it's probably no coincidence.

The Z77X here won't boot at all on anything except legacy mode in the UEFI boot settings. I don't fully understand what they do but surely legacy must be for old cards and the 1080gtx should work with UEFI.
I think there was some issue with some Gigabyte boards going to the nine series so as long as there is an update that covers that then I think you should be fine. But a really good idea is just to buy from a company that will take it back for "technical compatibility issues" then there is no problem.
