The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

[Reality|Bites]

How does the memory frequency rating work? I mean it runs at an actual 1.25Ghz but is advertised as 10Ghz.

 

[Evian]

is £549 worth it for a MSI Armor 1080?

 

[smogsy]

How does the memory frequency rating work? I mean it runs at an actual 1.25Ghz but is advertised as 10Ghz.

It down clocks when not needed highest clock is 5.05Ghz
As it's DDR double data rate 5005*2 = 10ghz

In your cade it was running at 2.5ghz

 

[Reality|Bites]

Somehow I don't even think it runs at 5Ghz? Do you? lol

GPUz reports 1.25Ghz

 

[LegendaryDread]

How does the memory frequency rating work? I mean it runs at an actual 1.25Ghz but is advertised as 10Ghz.

I think they've moved away from referencing GHz and to gbps now because of this; eventually they'll end up marketing chips as being 50GHz when in fact they're 2.5

The physical clock speed is 2.5GHz, with QDR making it 10gbps, or 10GHz "effective".

Taking a GDDR5 with 5 Gbit/s data rate per pin as an example, the [Command Clock] runs with 1.25 GHz and both [Write Clocks] at 2.5 GHz... GDDR5X targets a transfer rate of 10 to 14 Gbit/s per pin, twice that of GDDR5...

Essentially, it [GDDR5X] provides the memory controller the option to use either a double data rate mode that has a prefetch of 8n, or a quad data rate mode that has a prefetch of 16n. GDDR5 only has a double data rate mode that has an 8n prefetch.

 

[Kaapstad]

Finally I can join the club

Boosted to 2025 out the box, and currently running +100/+450 with great results. Very happy with it.

Welcome and on TROH.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1080.​

 

[Simon Belmont]

Finally I can join the club

Boosted to 2025 out the box, and currently running +100/+450 with great results. Very happy with it.

I have the same card. It's a beast!

Welcome to the club

 

[andy_mk3]

Welcome to the club

Totally. I'm blown away. Playing BF1 last night on ultra around 100fps,its a totally different game to play. Silky smooth.

Have you checked if it has those thermal pads installed, those "temporary fix" on the card?

Trying to hold out until they release the FTW2 but that'll probably release when Ti comes out mehhhh

 

[andy_mk3]

Have you checked if it has those thermal pads installed, those "temporary fix" on the card?

Does that involve removing the cooler?

 

[wrenaudrey]

Does that involve removing the cooler?

You should be able to see from the side profile, when you're facing the FTW logo

 

[andy_mk3]

You should be able to see from the side profile, when you're facing the FTW logo

Thanks, I'll have a look into it.

 

[andy_mk3]

I think it has the pads, but I can't be sure.

Spoiler

 

[terley]

It does, i contacted OCUK prior to buying my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW, and they assured me that they had the most up to date cards with the VRM thermal fix already applied. My card never goes above 70 degrees even at 2050mhz.

 

[Disco_P]

I think it has the pads, but I can't be sure.

Spoiler

I can see both sets so you are good

 

[terley]

I think it has the pads, but I can't be sure.

Spoiler

Also, i think you copied my build

[wrenaudrey]

Spoiler

Yep, it has them

 

[BRIGGBOY81]

is it ok to put the voltage adjustment slider to 100% in precision xoc and keep it there for 24/7 overclocks?

 

[andy_mk3]

Also, i think you copied my build

Spoiler

You sir have good taste

Yep, it has them

I thought so but couldn't be sure. That's good to know though thanks

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Any update on when the revised cooler version will be available for the EVGA 1080 cards? The ICX cooler I believe it's called.
