Is anyone able to confirm just how the voltage offset % slider works in afterburner, it doesn't even seem necessary at around 1950mhz core boost? Also, can the lighting of the various cards be turned off fully via geforce experience, if not, is there a solution using afterburner?

My EVGA FE turned up yesterday. To be quite honest I'm just glad to be gaming again, but the card is still currently on the stock blower, running aggressive fan profile (70% tops). 65c at 1950Mhz. Just eats 1440p no problems what-so-ever.
Those temps and that clock sound good. What is the noise level like at 70%?

It's fine here as the Phanteks Evolve ITX box it's in currently sits at my feet, so with cans I can't hear it at all. Sound is subjective, but it's not too bad really. Will be going on water once moving it over to my X99 box.

Lighting on standard FE cards can be managed by Geforce Experience. Using Precision X OC (EVGA's OC Tool) I can see there is a zone it it already set up to manage LED's for the aftermarket EVGA cards. Imagine there will be something similar for the others and recall ASUS is using Aura for their cards.
Also on the matter of SLI, I do think as per that youtube article the LED bridges available are already sufficient. When I use an old flexible bendy bridge I get a warning message in the control panel.
Said message not shown with my two LED bridges (EVGA v2 and Nvidia bridge)

1080 does have smoother frame pacing and frame-timing than the 980Ti. That will add to the smoothness of the game.
I have similar issues at times with my Ti's on the division. See what its like when i receive my 1080's on monday.
Would doubt there's much difference if any between them, multi gpu is never as smooth as a single gpu, they can probably show minuscule differences on a graph but in terms of feel, probably the same.
Thats odd. I dont get that warning and I am only using a cheap flexible bridge that came with my mobo.
As long as you aren't pushing it to the absolute limit of temps or volts then it will last just as long as any other card.. I push my hardware to the limit for benchmarking but for everyday gaming I dial it back a fair bit. My last hardware failure was an ATI 9800PRO whenever they were relevant.
Til the next consoles come around.
You're lucky.
It depends. I cant notice any difference from a single to dual GPU at 120/144hz which is what I play at, and why I play at 144hz. Both feel as smooth as each other to be honest.
I can notice more of a difference though at less than 85 ish fps. The Division is butter smooth at 100-144hz. Running it at ultra settings 1440p even with two Ti's can see dips below 80fps. Not stuttery per say and very tolerable but doesnt quite feel as smooth as running a single card at the same refresh rate.
Hopefully my 1080's will give me a bit more headroom on such games to keep those frames high

Bit of a pointless comparison really, I don't understand these overclocked vs stock benches...O/C vs O/C is what is relevant
Heh, maby ASUS paired really crappy ones with my board
Curious what resolution your using. May be related to that as that youtube Video I linked to seems to show the HB bridge (and I assume LED) being used for 4k or higher and 1440p @ 120hz or higher. Could be if your under that it does not show, but just a guess really.
Not always. This comparison was directly relevant to someone like myself, who couldn't overclock two cards because of temperature/noise limits (that I was comfortable with), but can comfortably overclock one card.
Do you have a pic so I can put you on TROH please.

When it arrives do I put you on TROH or would it be easier to have a separate one just for you.

Any 1080 that have 2 hdmi outputs. Looking at connecting one straight to my 4k TV and If possible using another to output audio through hdmi to my non 4k amp. Don't really want to fork out for a new amp if I can avoid it. Is that actually possible if a card has 2hdmi outputs
Asus 1080 Strix got 2 HDMI but on OCUK show incorrect info .
