Really? You're running all games on ultra settings at 1440 21:9 on a single 980ti and consistently getting 100fps?

So how comes there are plenty of games I have to turn down a whole bunch of settings to get 80-90fps on 16:9 1440?

he could just have a limited game set

he could just play rocket league and bf4 for example

he said all MY games :)

Exactly I have games that will hit 300FPS+ on their max settings if not more (I don't mean the settings menu or loading menu). I have to enable vsync or set a frame rate limit.


Latest games I find most will run on Ultra without any problems and if they do reduce AA and all is fine. 3440x1440 @native 60hz and OCed to 75hz.

He found like 5%+ difference compared to a 980 Ti, but he had one test game that was really skewing that result, most other people that did the same test with a lot more games and benchmarks found it was closer to 2-3%.


980ti and Titan x owners really need to wait for a 1080Ti or Volta.


Also I really wonder how he tested too, did he let the benhmarks and games tested to heat up the card to operating temps or did quick runs, also was it in a closed case or a open test bench. As the 1080 throttles pretty badly after a few mins of running a stressful game or benchmark due to the heat.

Where did you find that.... 5% or 2-3% difference of OC 980ti vs OC1080?!

I'll wait for real world testing and overclocking from the ocuk community.

Once the 1080 custom cards are out with 1 6 pin and 8 pin power connectors I can see 2.2ghz on these cards easy.

Not the gimped FE with the crappy blower...

I don't believe you will see over 2.1ghz stable and no throttling. These will be none reference cards with more power connectors and more power phases and a water cooler. The more phases and power connectors will just keep the current clean and the extra voltage these setups may have will not make any difference. Now the prices on these will be not £620-650, you can add another £100+ to these cards. So you are soon entering Titan money for a mid range part, which is silly.

lol or they might be better.

Its funny to watch 2 different things

1) people who want 1080 "the custom cards will prob be better and it is xx% faster than 980ti"

2) people who are keeping 980ti "the custom cards will be the same and the 1080 is xx% faster (lower than % above) than 980ti"

oced 980 ti vs 1080 stock. 2-3%+ difference . Watch that video mate, you would have understood what I meant :).

But your 980ti is probably top 1% overclock, if you can run it at 1550mhz, so probably keeping it is the best thing to do.

I can get 1580mhz on mine, when manually overclocking and I suck at overclocking and don't have the patience.


The one in the test was 1450mhz which is what most decent OC cards get, mine does that out of the box.

I can't remember for how long but I think where they tested with the DIY hybrid cooler they had 2160MHz stable at the power limit without a memory overclock (think it drops to ~2025MHz with the memory overclocked with FE power configuration) - it should be possible to keep them under the temperature target with the WF3 and similar coolers except maybe if you live somewhere with incredibly high ambient temperatures.

Was gamers nexus, I saw the video, it was not running 2.1ghz solid most of the time was more like a spike and went down to 2025Mhz and lower.

Think you are mis-reading the article - reading the updated article they've now posted subsequent to the videos the FE on 100% fan was spiking then dropping to 2025MHz or even lower while their DIY'd jobby was sitting at 2160MHz solid for over an hour of synthetic testing and all their gaming.

"When tuning for gameplay, we ended up settling on 2164MHz core OC and a +600MHz memory OC. That's not as impressive as 2202MHz, but it works, it's stable, and it's a measurable and noteworthy gain over the FE version of the card (which sat at ~2025-2050MHz)."

EDIT: Looks they are getting 2164MHz with a memory overclock and 2.2GHz without before hitting the power limit.

Will have to read the article, that's not bad at all if it sat at 2160Mhz for over an hour @ 100% GPU use of course, not vsynced or frame limited, that will make the hybrid cards that are based off a none reference board even better then, need to read it, must be a gotcha somewhere. These will make good upgrades for people on anything from a 980 and below and wanting to go ultra wide 3440x1440 or 2560x1440 high refresh rates, I still think they suck at 4K for a single card solution. I still feel they are not a good enough upgrade for a 980ti or titan x that OC well or are OC/hybrid models.

Ohh they will for the hybrid none reference boards. I can even see the EVGA Hybrid with a reference board as they always do for £700+. They would be stupid not to when a reference is selling for £620-650.

But why constant "1080 will be 700+" "1080 will not OC" "1080 is 2% better" etc.

With a 1550mhz 980ti I think you probably made good decision to wait for 1080ti, but the 1080 is still going to be faster so deal with it. :D

Probably because my rig is better than yours.

Correct.

Been playing Battlefield games since 2003. Obviously BF4 is my main game.

Also I like the some racing games, Dirt Rally, F1 etc, etc

And I've recently been playing Doom.

Definitely the latest Battlefield game will always get the most hours from me.

:)
