980TI Oc'd Keeps pace with 1080.

Didn't you not catch what I said about when used in real-world situation?

In real-world gaming, nobody would be running the card in open-air, nor would they put up with the noise of 100% fanspeed (even headphone users would not risk running fan at 100% speed at all time as it will probably wear the fan bearing much quicker and shorten the life of the fan proportionally)...hence why I pointed to 3rd party card with good cooler (i.e. Gigabyte Windforce etc), as they are likely maintain those speed without having to run the fan at speed as loud as a hairdryer.

Did you not read what a actual user said about his card and how if he ramps up the fan its ok at 2100 in real world use?.
My 5870 was noisy at higher fan levels so was a reference 290x i had , i ran both of those at 100% gaming at times and my 5870 is still sitting in cupboard as a spare.
I'm sure ofc though not one 290x user ever used a fan profile above 65% as the noise would be too much and the bearings might fail :rolleyes:

In my opinion one needs to be retarded to compare Single card vs Crossfire or SLI.
Ye its can be on pair or faster solution WHEN IT ****ING WORKS.

SLI and Crossfire Reality:
- Does not work in most new games for weeks or months after they come out sometimes NEVER...
- Does not work with current VR stuff
- Does not work good with 3D gaming in most cases


SLI and Crossfire is for people that play games like:
3d MArk
Unigine heaven
Unigine valley
o wait..... them are not games.....


I had it and i was spending more time fighting to get **** running without micro stutter or working at all than playng the freaking games... Every game had its problems bigger or smaller :/

Agree completely, but you get one game like Star Wars Battlefront that looks stunning...

That said, I'm abandoning Fury X CF for a single 1080.

It is real world :)

I have gamed for a few hours and with 60-65% fan profile in witcher 3 inside my case the card is hovering between 1950-2050 mhz. As I mentioned it is not and will not be as quiet as aftermarket coolers but this time around its not quiet as loud as the Titan X reference cooler and I do not really have an issue pegging fan profile to 60% and game away.

Not advocating most people pick a Aftermarket 1080 over FE, but rather its not quiet as bad as one may imagine seeing the horror stories of the card thermal throttling anywhere.

Somebody has no idea what NOS is/does. Bet you 100 GTX1080s the Nova will get smashed by a Ferrari unless you've totally changed the power unit and chassis... Ergo your analogy is useless.

I'm in the first few orders of the FTW (2 of em) and still looking forward to sacking off my 980Ti for them, don't forget custom BIOS is almost always a thing so that limit is there to be removed/broken.
 
It's a chip half the size of the 980ti, but a decent amount faster. Purely from the tech and the fact it is an x80 card it is a good thing

The big problem is the pricing which puts an x80 into ti territory and makes it look poor value for money.

Once the initial launch is done with and demand dies down, and when either AMD have something to compete with it or Ncidia have a 1080ti ready, the prices will drop more towards a natural 980 level I think

You are quite right, and as I said before your 1080 is not doubt still a very quick card, but what I was referring to is the majority of the benchmarks are showing the 1080 performance at 2150MHz+, and it is at a speed that I doubt the FE 1080 can maintain without having the fan pushed to very loud level.

If people want the same performance quoted by the reviews at 2150MHz+ clock, the cards with custom cooler is far more likely to be capable of that without killing someone's hearing...that's all I'm saying.

>triss
I stick by what I said about 100% fanspeed is not what someone (or at least any sane person) would be comfortable with whenever they are gaming in the real world. 65% is probably already above what most people can bear in terms of noise level, and that is still only managing 2000MHz, which is a clock speed difference of 7.5%.

LMAO really? most reviews are struggling to maintain 2ghz. I take it you never owned a ref 290x?

I own one, and the highest I could bear was at around 55% max...which is while I think people are mental to think that over 65% on the FE 1080 acceptable for everyday uses :p Even IF the FE cooler's rpm is lower and that its 65% is same rpm as the 55% on the 290 cooler, it still doesn't making the FE cooler noise level bearable, if going beyond 65%.

For reference, my 290x's cooling has gone from the blower cooler to a Icy Vision Rev2 cooler, then finally now with a Corsair H105 AIO with the HG10A bracket :D

The ref 290X cooler was far louder than my Titan X ref cooler and I wouldn't want either running at 100% but Radox has told you his experience but you can't seem to accept that for some reason?
 
http://www.3dmark.com/search?_ga=1....00?minScore=0&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

Just seen some 1080sli scores on 3d mark page, seem to be in the 10-11k range. Top graphics score (number one) is 11038. Doesnt seem much of an improvement for 980ti sli users

First in table as of today (this is NOT my score)


SCORE
11 038 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080(2x) and Intel Core i7-5960X
Graphics Score 11 580

And score compaired to mine.

Nope, I have not been in disagreement with Radox, and basing on the information that he's given, the average of 2000MHz max clock on that 65% fanspeed is probably what most people will get.

What I have been saying since the beginning was that if people want the 1080 to be at the same performance that those reviews that put the 1080 performance in the best light (which most have the clock running at 2150MHz), people would be best wait for custom cards, and it has far higher chance of doing than than the blower type cooler including the FE cooler could. triss was insisting that the FE can do 2150MHz if running it at 100%, but I said nobody will run their card's fanspeed at 100% for everyday uses...it is simply TOO LOUD.

The increase in physics score is decent at least.
 
Nobody realistically expected them to be that much faster than 980Ti. They seems to be 10-30% faster depending on game/resolution etc. Pretty in line with the 980, 780, 680 and so on.

As always, if you have the top end from the last gen it's probably not worth upgrading unless you absolutely must have the best.

The 1070 is much more interesting for lots of people who skipped a gen or never buy the top end (myself included).
