1080 Ti throttling issues

I really think that in 12 months time we are going to look back on this as a very expensive, not very good card. I hope the Ti is better.

If so, then I guess it is a bit of a non story, but it is nonetheless disappointing that Nvidia is releasing a product that is unable to maintain at least the advertised boost clocks for 20 minutes!

But it's not released yet and a likely simple fix to improve if it is actually an issue.
Talk about people getting carrier away....as I said elsewhere people pick up on something and run away with it. Probably turning out to be a non-issue or no worse than other cards.

Nothing new really, my Titan X throttled by a good 200Mhz or so during a long gaming session on the stock cooler. It's why I ended up putting a block on it.

The Founder's Edition, sure. We've not seen what 3rd party coolers can do yet, though. And I dont understand why so many people are so eager to write it off before we've seen them.

You can also look at the Metro 4k w/OC + 100% fan and see that the 'throttling' is a mere 40-50Mhz drop in clock throughout the entire duration. Which is super acceptable and a good 400Mhz higher than the non-OC'd version.

Which shows the potential is there so long as you can control the temps.

Another 12 months after than the ti wont look good either.

That's not my point. Its not the age of the card. Its how it performs during its 'time" and how it's remembered. For example the 980ti will always be remembered as a great card as will the 290. I don't think the 1080 will be. In fact. I'm sure it won't.

You're sure it wont based purely on the reference cooler?

:rolleyes:

I think the issue being Greg is that they are throttling to below the advertised boost clock. I can't speak from experience because anytime I have used a reference card I have always made a more aggresive fan profile, but have the reference Titan X's for example throttled to below their advertised boost clock on a regular basis using stock profile?

If so, then I guess it is a bit of a non story, but it is nonetheless disappointing that Nvidia is releasing a product that is unable to maintain at least the advertised boost clocks for 20 minutes!

Mine did, as in throttle to below boost and ending up near base clock with stock fan profile.

The stock fan profile on these cards, at least the Titan X is very shallow and as odd as it may sound geared towards silence. Notch up the fan profile ever so slightly and its a non-issue really.

how come? it's NOT even on the market yet and hasn't had it's "time" yet :D.

I wouldn't be surprised if some reviewers are giving the whole boost thing more attention on this card because of the high clock speed - looking for heat related issues because of that and looking more closely.

Here's a challenge for someone. Someone buy a 1080 who has a 980 Ti, or any other recent "reference"card. Let the drivers mature for a month or two. Then using the exact same machine (and in a closed case) run a benchmark on a loop for an hour, then after the hour, actually do a benchmark run taking all the stats (clock speed included). Repeat three times, then repeat the whole process for the other card and lets see where we stand on the issue.
That's a proper benchmark test :)

Its the fastest card nvidia has im sure it will be exceptional for 12 months.

LOL. There is a lot more wrong with this card than just the reference cooler. Alas I won't go into details because I will just get called a fan boy. Look a YouTube videos that are made by people who are not sponsored reviewers.

lol? People really need to wait for the custom versions. You say how good the 290 is but do you remember how **** the reference 290/290x cooler was? loud and 95 degrees I seem to remember...

I see you own an Asus Strix and not a reference card.....

Reference coolers suck even if you call them founders editions.

A small single fan just isn't going to cut it. A wind force 3 fan set up should work just nicely!

You guys have no idea...

You match the kind of GPU cooler you need to what PC case your using and how many GPU's you are going to fit
Stick a 1080 with a AIO cooler in a small PC case or a case with low air flow and watch the GPU cook ;)
Also blower type coolers are normally always the best air coolers to use in a multi GPU setup


Do you think a 3 fan AIO cooler would work better then a blower type cooler in my HTPC case ?

I just did a quick vid comparing my Titan X with a custom fan curve and the same card left to its own devices. I have had this card since Mar 2015 and when I game, I don't bother overclocking and generally leave it without AB running, so it will be throttling like you see. This is what reference cards do and if I didn't like it or wasn't happy with it, I would just set a custom fan curve like I have shown.

So much fuss from people who won't be getting the card and even some of us won't be getting reference cards, so it really is much ado about nothing.

Or will you not go into details because they're desperate, reaching arguments that one would normally associate with fanboy-like behavior?

I've watched plenty of videos on the card so far and have no idea what you're talking about.
