THE FASTEST GTX 1080TI's: Zotac, Inno3D, Aorus & ASUS!!!

[Gibbo]

Hi there


So all vendors have pretty much announced clock speeds now and there is only a select few with 1700MHz+ boost clocks, consider it the Elite Tier club of GTX 1080Ti.

Some of them even have the memory clocks tweaked as well to push the performance envelope even further as such it is no surprise to see Zotac have the fastest out the box card followed very closely by Asus and Inno3D due to them both also tweaking memory clock speeds.

Some extremely fast cards which will all take down a Titan X Pascal with absolute ease.

 

[Gibbo]

Really Really excited for my Inno3d card,Still on for Next week? if my ankle worked id be like a kid jumping up and down!

Yes stock is being collected from Hong Kong this weekend.

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo, is there any word on the clocks or ETA for the MSI Sea Hawk X?

Zero communication from MSI on clocks or dates, Asus and Gigabyte are way ahead of them as both are now shipping custom cards, were expecting Gigabyte and Aorus custom cards to land any day now to cover our pre-orders on those.
Asus are preparing a shipment next week.

No idea what MSI are doing.

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo, any ETA or clocks for the Palit Super Jetstream? Have on pre ordered with yourselves.

Palit making a few updates, also updating the cooler too, so a little delay, but will be worth it, Super editions might be around 1700MHz or just about.

 

[Gibbo]

Cheers for the update, given what MSI are doing at the moment I'm gonna knock them on the head. That Zotac card looks boss though, might well have to pull the trigger on it. Given the ETA is a bank holiday will they likely come on the 18th?

Yes looking very likely, Zotac should be early.

 

[Gibbo]

The Zotac lists power consumption as 320W, is that right ?
It is a lot more than the others that state their power consumption.
If I want to run it 24/7 it makes a big difference on cost

Why you would expect a card running higher clocks to consume the same power as slower cards? Use common sense man, can't have your cake and eat it.

320W is correct!

 

[Gibbo]

It's a huge increase in power consumption for not a lot more, rules it out for me !

All overclocked cards consume more power, just some of the manufacturers do not quote the true figure and continue quoting the FE figure.

 

[Gibbo]

Even at 24/7 use, you're talking £8 a month. For the average user, you're lucky if the difference would be £2 a month.

@Gibbo is the INNO3D ichill card a reference board?

Yes to my understanding iChill cards are reference boards, hence the 8+6 pin power.

 

[Gibbo]

That's a real shame on behalf of MSI. This was the card i was waiting for but looking at the iChill, I think I may have to change my mind on which to purchase. MSI haven't done themselves any favours it seems

Not a brand I can recommend due to lack of communication from MSI or their distributors.

Asus, Gigabyte, Zotac, Inno3D, EVGA and other brands are way more communicative and which just like you guys is just good customer service and this is at pre-sales level.
We also witnessed how poor MSI were at paying the recent RX 480 cashback they did way back in November and December, having only just paid by end of March and generally ignoring customers complaining.

So you can see and workout for yourselves.

 

[Gibbo]

I appreciate you can't do the math, you have worked out a total based on a single card, you don't know how many cards I have running

Also a little disappointed that product descriptions that are known to be wrong are displayed by OcUK on their website. Has no effort been made to get the manufacturers to provide accurate figures ? If Zotac are being truthful in stating 320W and the others are lying (maybe they are all actually 350W) then Zotac could be losing sales for being honest

We can only advertise figures given to us!
Cards using 6+8 and reference PCB will be 250W TDP give or take a few watts.
Cards using custom PCB with 8+8 will have higher TDP, it is maximum it does not mean the card sits their sucking 320W.

OcUK does way more than any other competitor in providing info, no other competitor is giving you this level of information about cards, NOT ONE!

OcUK is even ahead of most of the announcement PR/News sites with info on new cards, you see it here first which is why so many of my forum post get leaked and reports, I do it to try and help customer base and of course its free marketing for OcUK.

But to express disappointed in our product descriptions when we clearly go way above and beyond to give more information than competitors is also very disappointing and really makes me wonder why I bother at all times.......

 

[Gibbo]

Agreed, the silent majority appreciate it! At the end of the day if you give people an opportunity to moan about something (the forums), then some will

The Zotac AMP Extreme looks like an absolute beast again just like with the 1080, and would be my choice for sure. The only concern is sagging!

Zotac is heavy yes, but that is because their cooler is very high-end, less cheap nasty looking plasty and more premium plastics and more use of metal. There are plenty of stuff on the market to support heavy PCI-E cards and some cases even have built in support.

My money would probably go on the Zotac, its the best card, OK actually it ties with the Aorus Extreme, though the bigger power phase and huge cooler always win me over with the Zotac, then the 5yr warranty is of course a nice bonus.

 

[Gibbo]

not sure if below is correct Gibbo, qoute from bit-tech review:

"The pre-production review sample uses a reference PCB with Inno3D's own flavour of cooling. Retail cards will use a custom PCB, we are told, though the Hong Kong outfit was keen to show just how much faster its card can be than the thermally-challenged FE."

be nice to know for sure, could you ask them?

on side note on their site they show DVI connector on the PCB

They are still 6+8 power though, so any change will be minor unless they have changed the PCB without informing me. Stock is due any day so I will probably grab one to look at to see if they did change anthing.

The main thing about iChill cards is the cooler is fantastic and very quiet, yes the FE card does get hot which does limit its boosting potential out the box whereas the custom cards will boost higher out the box due to them running 20 degrees or so cooler.

 

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo
How soon is any day and if I was to place an order today, that the ETA for delivery? Is there much of a queue?

Order now and you should get a card next week in theory, but no guarantees as couriers and customs are well out of my control.

 

[Gibbo]

What card is likely to be the quietest?

I used to have a Zotac 780 Amp Extreme and that thing made a lot of fan noise.

I'm using a SilentLoop 280 for my CPU so want a GPU to match.

New Zotac Extremes are quiet, some people have issues with fan pulses at lower speed, but setting a fan curve or a fixed fan speed solves that and still remains extremely quiet.

 

[Gibbo]

And the non-extreme while we are talking about the Zotacs, please.

@Gibbo I'm disappointed by the absolute lack of information on these pre-orders. Other sites are now showing a Friday stock date. If they know, why don't you? And why isn't that information being passed on? I can appreciate you are unable to control when it gets delivered, but you can control how the information - or lack of it - is presented to us, the customer. I came to OC as I'd made a decision to start supporting dedicated retailers like yourselves, rather than just go with Amazon. I'm really starting to regret that right now.

I do just read the right threads and I'm out of office all week travelling so getting data connections is not always easiest when your in middle of nowhere or in factories where phones are prohibited.

I've made several comments on AMP Extreme in 1080Ti thread, 15 arrived so far and shipped and 20 more due mid next week.
