The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

[smogsy]

For the FE owners, how does the fan perform out of the box? Is the throttling a problem when you leave the fan at stock settings? What software are you using to change fan speeds.

that's the exact testing im doing right now
i tested with my fan profile setting first so at
80c its at 65% (10% more other stock)

Mine

max temp 78C
average 77C
boost clock
1840mhz max
average is 1809Mhz
Min 1790Mhz

Default

already 3 Minutes in to the Witcher 3
Average temp 82C
Max Temp 83C
Default fan:
Min Clock 1603Mhz @ 82C
Average (only over few minutes remember) 1780Mhz
Max Clock 1809Mhz

So after very quick testing you loose a good 100mhz using stock profile

if you don't wear headphones it sounds little loud a definate whoosh noise but not an annoying whoosh

I didn't use it on default fan I like keeping my cards as cool as possible from the get go to, i used a custom 1:1 fan profile using MSI afterburner 4.3.0 beta 4, maxes around 70deg. The FE fan is very quiet imo.

Maybe the Milking Edition but not the Ti

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.​

It makes me happy to see people are getting their aftermarket cooler version! Now where's mine

I also like how Asus, MSI and who else make blower style cards other then reference design coolers. It's good for those who want that type of cooling but have no use for the reference cooler scheme, for example.

Tbf Fear, the reference nVidia cooler is really rather good this time around! They've obviously put some thought into it this time round, what with charging more for it and all!!

Good bloody job tbh

It does not throttle below base speeds, but boost drops off abit with stock fan profile, but with stock fan profile its still very very quiet.

A good balance I have found is using MSI afterburner (EVGA Precision OCX seems abit flaky to me) in which you can set up a fan profile manually. For me it tops out at 60% which is good enough to maintain 2000 mhz boost in SLI config (so including heat from bottom card going into top). 60% fan may sound loud but the FE cards is actually fairly quiet, at least compared to TX reference cooler, so its not notifiable really

Happy you enjoy your purchase but it looks like quite a few FE purchases have been made through sheer impatience (understandable if you have time booked off for example) to wait for the aftermarket versions which are much more capable of holding holding their higher boost clocks on auto fan settings.

GIGABYTE announces GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Water cooling.

Looks like a solid competitor to the EVGA 1080 Hybrid. With Gibbos excellent relationship with Gigabyte he might be able to grab another Europe exclusive on these.

I hope not as that will add £50 to the price for the first few weeks

 

[yoyo59]

picked a FE from a local PC store next to me after OCUK didn't deliver on the 17th

anyway mine boosts to 1898 on its own, is this good?

 

[smogsy]

anything above 1830 ish is pretty sexy on a FE mine does 1860-70 at peaks generally 1830

what ive noticed from most reviews is that the FE seems to outdo most aftermarket cards

maybe Nvidia saying their FE is made better actually makes sense

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Have to say not seen many review's where the aftermarket out clocks the FE either. Certainly not worth the waiting pain I enjoy reading in the other thread, people are pulling their hair out while I'm enjoying mine.

x2

how do u think of it on ur x34? personally I think its a perfect match

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Yeah me 2, runs it with ease, don't have to worry about them low FPS of the TX anymore, don't get me wrong the TX was fine but sometimes in some games I saw a struggle or two.

Hmm 2.3Ghz and a list price of only $749 so only £43 inc vat more than a flounders edition.

So probably £665 which is pretty good and might end up being the one i go for depending on how long before it arrives.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Wouldn't let a GPU looking like that in my house nevermind near my case.

will not come to retail as 2.3ghz they managed 2.3ghz doesn't mean retails samples will, its just hype now imo

 

[Radox-0]

It says for out the box boost on the gigabyte is 1936mhz and 10400 MHz on that same article. I expect 2.3 ghz is a cherry picked chip in a cherry picked scenario like nvidia did at thier showcase. Hope to be proven wrong but given the OC we have seen on all 1080s to date I doubt it.
