Hmm, pretty unlucky. Stock voltage?

Yep stock volts for the 2150, just need to nudge up power target to 120% and set core offset. Eventually does end up fluctuating between 2100-2150 as it ends up getting too hot though.

Second card was not really happy above 2050 MHz so add in sli overhead which reduces the achievable OC somewhat and 2000 - 2051 was the typical figure for the two.

Mine (on stock FE cooler) doesn't like above 2050 either. The cooler is starting to grate on me. Need to fit the block

This review confuses me. Why on earth are they ignoring the 980 in SLI, this is after all the direct replacement?! It is almost like that direct comparison is being avoided!

me and you both mate, 17th apparently on the website, but god knows at the moment... disappointed with nVidia's supply chain on this one, considering the hype before launch I have paid for 2 cards that I cannot use yet...

So annoyed.

Stelly

Ive had no ETA on the STRIX yet

and live chat has been very dead for the last few days as well lol

Oh, aren't these cards readily available?

I just dropped in from the Polaris forums to see what the fuss was about because DP and the other usual suspects were all over AMD about not releasing specs until the NDA expired on the 480.

Seems to be that the 1080 is really, really limited in availability. Do you think that it was a pre-emptive launch to steal some thunder?

Thoughts?

The Founders Editions sold out very quickly. The custom card dates have been getting pushed back. I'm not sure if it's a card manufacturer issue or Nvidia.

No word yet on when the EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 arrives? Must. Have. New. Card.

You can't, NVidia won't allow it.

Why is this currently the case on pascal? Drivers I presume?

Sasahara · 7 Jun 2016 at 12:06

Something shiny just arrived.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming.

I better test it at work.

I have swapped out my FTW for the G1 Gaming, which will be with me tomorrow. I was nice and early with the order, so should put people up on the ordering of that card

Nice one m8 :cool:

You'll love it I'm sure

Any 1080 SLI users having issues?

Seem to be getting poor scaling on a lot of games. i.e GPU's not running to 100%.

Furmark, 3dmark etc runs both GPU's up to 100% no issues with 90-95% power draw.

Games, unigine valley etc really struggle atm with about 65-80% usage on each GPU.

Even both my Ti's would run these games at 90-99% usage. Really confused atm.

Because new drivers? or?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 7 Jun 2016 at 12:24

Pre-ordered Hybrid 28th in the que :cool:

I did not think I was, but as mentioned earlier, was surprised by the small drop from 2 1080's to 1 1080 as a result from 1 going kaput. On average difference was 10-15 fps in witcher 3. Titan X's scaled much better I recall.

Guru 3D SLI article: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/geforce-gtx-1080-2-way-sli-review,1.html does specially mention that the current drivers do not seem to support a majority of games. Could be that :confused:

Did not think to bench my SLI 1080's vs Titan X SLI as I did single card figures, will do when I get another one again

Born_2_Kill_83 · 7 Jun 2016 at 12:31

It'll be the drivers, pritty sure it was the same for the 980's when they came out for the first couple of weeks

Thanks

. Most likely that then. Every single game I'm playing is maxing at about 80% usage on the 1080's.

Suprisingly still faster than my 980Ti's though.

Just hope they get fixed soon as theres still plenty more for these cards to give.

2nd week of launch of the 980s (i had SLI) one driver gave 25% performance increase in Creed blackflag

so drivers do need time to develop

Very nice

lets have some OC and temp results if your able too

The 3D guru review suggested that at 1440p SLI 1080 appeared to be very cpu bottlenecked. It was only up at 4K that they saw good scaling. Hopefully this will be rectified in new drivers.

I believe they were using a 5960X in their tests as well, so a lot better cpu than most of us will have.

I have a 5930k tested at 4.5 and 4.7ghz no difference. CPU maxing out at about 70-80% usage.

Five.Stars · 7 Jun 2016 at 13:50

Try disabling gsync, running with DSR (assuming dsr, gsync and SLI still don't work together) and see if scaling is improved.

I assume it is simply an early driver scaling issue and it will be improved in the coming weeks.

Radox-0 · 7 Jun 2016 at 13:53

Yep do not think its CPU related. 5960x for daily clocks runs @ 4.6 / 4.4 on cache and hovers around 30-45% use typically. Anyways, new drivers out 368.39:

http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/103913/en-us (Win 10 64bit)

Apparently according to Nvidia forum has fixed the fan issue! Will give them a try later
