Hmmm got a dual bios card, will have to give it a go

Nice with the dual bios - I've done it to my SC's but not had a chance to test yet

Yeah that seems a nice overclock. Is that overclock stable at max load? Only says 49.5% TDP on GPU-Z there. Just I'd expect it higher full whack even with the dual 8 pin. I know my 1080's can hit 125% power.

I'd be interested in the manual overclock to see how far it can be pushed.

my WaterForce can set power target to 150%

It seem max overclock i can get is 2195 but it give only like 1-2fps extra in game so i just leave it as stock OC mode ( 2151 ).

Two of these badboys arrived for me after work today!

Mind if I ask when you ordered those?

I was hoping my pair would ship this week (ordered 24/6) but it hasn't happened.

Not allowed to mention competitors I'm afraid so probably best to edit your post

Ah, I saw they had them in stock. I know overclockers got stock in this week but I guess they went to preorders before mine. At least I hope that's the case or I'll be a bit ****ed off.

At least I got my order in before the price went up considerably, £599 each.

Finally!

And yes, I know my desk needs dusting...

Got my Pallit super jetstream and Ive over the moon with it. Boosts to 1970mhz without touching it and the highest the fans have gone was 40, just to keep it around the 68-70 degrees mark.

My ONLY complaint is the gauche green lights on the side. Looks super tacky

Yeah the colour wasn't the best choice. If it's the same as my Gainward then you can change it in the software. I recommend white.

You want to add me Kaap?...

update: after playing the Witcher 3 for about 2 hours
when the card hit 50'C the clock will decrease to 2101Mhz

before hit 50'C

after hit 50'C

Must be something to do with the GPU boost. Seems strange why it would step backward at low temps though.

jommy999 · 8 Jul 2016 at 21:31

50C is high temp for my Waterforce. usually stay under 50'C . when under 50'C the card run at 2150Mhz

he is not monitoring the power utilisation, I expect it was a power throttle.

Seems normal to me. Especially if it's cooling the chokes and VRMS which is what it looks like. Unless it has a VRM fan? A lot to cool down on a single 120 rad.

Both my cards can hit 44-45c after a good few hours of heavy gaming on full cover blocks.

As to why it would drop 50mhz at 50c I don't know. Does seem strange though as it normally happens at a much higher temperature.

jommy999 · 8 Jul 2016 at 22:00

I might need to try Turbo fan profile. I will have more time tomorrow.

Gerard · 8 Jul 2016 at 22:04

The waterforce is advertised as only having a fan on the rad, so the loop is cooling quite a lot for a 120mm. Surprised they never went the fury x route and made the rad a bit bulkier for a bit better cooling.
