**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

ahh i think i get it now. I hate maths sometimes and i always get confused. I would like to thank you all for teaching me percentages better than my maths teach ever did haha.
 
I have an i7 7700k 5ghz oc cpu, hopefully a 1080ti on Saturday. An SSD and 32gb Corsair LPX Vengeance DDR4 2666 ram.
Now would upgrading my ram to say, 3600 or something, give me any performance increase anywhere, or would it be a total waste of money considering the rest of the system?

2666mhz is pretty low but you might not see much improvement even with faster mem

Yeah as above it would be a bit of a waste, you might see 1fps? possibly nothing at all.

Faster memory only really makes a difference with lower end cpu's with built in gpu's like APU's etc.

Im sure in honesty you could downclock to 2000mhz and see if there is much difference in gaming? Or even try OC the RAM a little?
 
Yea looks impressive man. And i can only assume as with more driver updates things will only get better :)

What I meant was that any site reviewing the 1080ti with the new drivers and not rerunning the benchmarks on the Titan, 1080,980ti is going to show a 33% performance gain in ROTR and 16% or more in other dx12 titles. Hence the 1080ti is going to look faster than it really is
 
That's wrong.

55/32 = 1.71

If the faster card was 100fps and the slower card was 50fps then we know it's 100% faster, but 100/50=2 so your formula doesn't make sense.

The correct formula is ((new card/old card) - 1) * 100

But if you are maths literate, you can understand the percentage increase by simply dividing new card by old card.

A lot of reviewers were using the beta drivers rather than todays released DX12 ones. I'm also pretty sure they would have re-run any tests if they were running the new DX12 driver.

This video shows how ram speed can effect certain games a fair bit.

Yea i know haha. But i meant you can see the gains the driver update has done from the benches. Looks impressive how much things have improved. Yea 1070/80 and titan would be closer not sure so much for the 980Ti with it being maxwell.
