Anyone know if the Asus strix cards are shipping today?

The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
This is my curve with the FE edition. Hovers aorund 70c clocked to its max and running 99/100% load on Heaven.
Still reasonably quiet in my opinion.
any1 think theres a 1080 ti coming this year?
I didn't have any of these doubts, & I usually always expect a Ti after a titan release hence next year after the Titan, but since looking at the PCB of both the FE 1070 and 1080 there is a missing vrm on the 1070 (2) and 1 on the 1080, could we see a 1080 ti near the end of the year with around 200w tdp being 10-15% faster?
why would nvidia leave it missing if they didn't want to release another card?

All good now. Cranked up the fan a bit and it's come down to low 60s.
Thought about tinkering with overclocking it but honestly, I see no point. Only Witcher 3 is giving this card somewhat of a challenge. Any other game I play is a solid 60fps and therefore any overclocking is literally pointless. I even had a go on ROTTR on Very High and it's pretty much 60fps with only very very minor drops on occasion. And that's 2-3fps. Once I drop textures back to High it doesn't move from 60fps once.
Had a bit of buyer's remorse the past day or two with all the cheap 980Ti cards for sale but happy as anything now with this card.
Anyone elses 1080 coil whine like this ?
Excuse the vertical phone capture
Can constantly hear it during gaming/bench
Hi, I've got a Palit Super Jetstream and under benchmarks I can hear some whine, but even with the side panel off I had to put my ear to the card to hear it properly. With the side panel on and seven gaming its inaudible.
This is with an EVGA 750w G2 PSU.
I'm considering the same two cards right now. Or the Evga SC as I really dont care about RGB lighting.
The Palit card seems to be the fastest card you can get out of box, along with the almost identical card from Gainward. The Palit also looks like a very quiet card, judging from the guru3d review.
However, the Evga should be performing almost as good and comes with a 3 year warranty, whereas Palit only offers two. I don't know much about Palit, but Evga is known for their great customer service.
Then there is design, which is a personal preference. Even though I have a white build, I prefer the design of the Evga card. The Palit looks a bit "tacky" in my opinion. But then again, my case is on the floor so it really doesn't matter that much.
The Palit card is a 2½ slot card, so it's bulkier than the Evga card (2 slot).

Well considering the GP104 is the full GP104 chip and not cut down I doubt it has anything to do with the PCB, The 1080 Ti will most likely come with GP100/102 and nearer 3000 CUDA cores and probably 12GB of GDDR5X or some amount of HMB2, So I reckon we're at least 6 months off yet.
I've got the Palit Super Jetstream, as far as I'm aware it's exactly the same as the (non Super) Jetstream, Gamerock and Gainward Phoenix cards. With that you've got 3 different 'designs' to go for, the Jetsream cards are a lot plainer (why I went for it over the others) in black and silver - The super jetstream is clocked slightly lower out of the box than the Gamerock Premium and GLH cards by about 30mhz.
In terms of noise, my card keeps under 75°C with a modest overclock (~2050) and fan speeds range between 1000-1100 rpm. From what I've seen the EVGA SC and FTW cards are similar, maybe 1-200rpm faster. If you look at the youtube video below, it shows fan speeds over time, which shows the SC at around 1100rpm:

I reckon the 1080Ti/Titan pascal will have easily have more like 3500+ cores. Otherwise it isnt going to be that much faster than the 1080.

Good point, Probably closer to the GP100's max cores which IIRC is somewhere around 3800.
Could be much more. The gp100 won't be used for gaming, it wouldn't be that much faster than the GP104. Nvidia have split their core between compute and gaming.
Had a bit of a fiddle with my EVGA SC's sli'd under water. Temps are good - don't go above 38 whilst gaming, in comparison to my 1500 Ti's @50 give or take (then again that's voltage for you).
Being held back a tad by my second card - so far it'll happily do 2065mhz before crashing using standard oc'ing. Primary card will easily do 2100+. Both are +500 mem so far. Going to have a mess about with the volt/mhz curve next.
Also had a learning curve with Geoforce Experience lol - for some reason I installed it this time - it borks sli clocks right up, one card was not clocking down or it wouldn't go above 1703mhz at times. Uninstalled GE and they're both fine now.
It's also worth mentioning to turn Power Management Mode to adaptive under 3D Settings, and individual progs to optimal power as cards sometimes won't downclock on your desktop.

Did you try overclocking them before you water cooled them ?
As am interested if you did get a better overclock by water cooling them..
Yeah - tested them for around 30 minutes under Heaven/Valley/Firestrike and The Division on air, although I put them on 75% fan (it was really just to test which card I'd use as my primary).
The overclock at the moment hasn't really changed - although I'm sure that it would have been different had I left the fans on standard over any length of time, as under water they're consistent with the overclock - I reckon they'd have dipped due to thermals on air.
What did change under water was the stock boost speed on both cards - they went from 1923 & 1948 on air to both on 1991mhz under water. Hopefully with a bit of oc tweaking now (as GPU boost 3.0's a bit diff to 2.0) I'll get a little more oc headroom. In a typical ASIC way (not that Pascal has a ASIC....), the slightly poorer clocking card uses slightly more voltage than the better clocking card.

Is that with full cover blocks?
My 1080's still peak low to mid 40's while gaming after a few hours. Cooler than my Ti's which got to about 47c.
