The Pascal GTX 1080 Ti Owners Thread

Puppetmaster · 19 Jun 2017 at 21:28

So I'm considering getting a 1080TI as my 290's seem to be worth a decent amount currently and in this weather my room is far too hot (as well as wanting a decent performance boost!).

Does it matter which card I buy (aside from being cooler removal friendly)? I am using custom water.

If you want to overclock maybe look for one with 2 8pin PCI-e power connectors.

First time ever but looks like my zotac has died on its way to OCUK and back.

Long story short wanted to return for a refund but changed my mind after posting (decided on new colour scheme). So OCUK sent it back to me.

Got it back yesterday. Card works fine on the desktop but gaming lasts about 10 minutes then just locks the PC up with repeating sound and no signal. Seems to be the same amount each time so, something getting too hot or shorting maybe?

All out of the box settings by the way.

Tested in my sisters PC this morning and it's doing the same thing.

Looks like it's RMA and refund time. Got another on the way today from elsewhere unfortunately as I don't want the possibility of waiting until next week with no system.

Edit: New card in and fitted and working fine. Stock boost out of the box is 2038mhz (monster!) so looks like these zotac AMP!'s are pre-binned?

Also noticed this card came with all the protectors for the LED's, i/o ports, sli fingers, pcie lane whereas the card I got from ocuk did not.

Quite disappointed as it means the card I got from ocuk wasn't brand new as advertised.

The all black is nice though I would prefer the clear to see for maintenance purposes?

The big dilemma with those new blocks is do i preorder it direct from ek or wait for overclockers its all I've been waiting for to finish my build..

You're not the first person i've heard say that the item they received wasn't like the others. One guy said all the cellophane had been removed when their card arrived. hmm

Verying tempting but then my Titans would not have a home.

Really good looking cards though.

I could do with some advice, i've got a vive paired with a 1070 and i get bad motions sickness during locomotion titles, the nolimits rollercoaster sim is the worst culprit for this.
So i think the only solution is to upgrade my graphics card to a 1080ti or should i wait until the new vega cards drop i don't mind waiting a month or two if the performance is going to be better than the ti or will it be ?
What should i do ?

Rifte · 21 Jun 2017 at 20:48

I buckled and bought an EVGA GTX1080ti FE when I was stateside last week.

Got it in NYC for $710 plus change (tax included). So around £560.

Its replacing a couple of 980s I had in SLI.

Spikey · 22 Jun 2017 at 13:53

Guys - not sure which 1080TI to go for? I was thinking the Aorus Extrme Edition or MSI Gaming X - want a card which is quiet under load with decent temps? Unless someone can suggest something else!

zotac AMP extreme all the way. Coolest and quietest card by far.

They all do perform well though so I would also take into consideration your build design and what card would look best. And the cost of course.

Yeah the AMP extreme is a fair bit more expensive which is why I was looking at the MSI gaming and the Aorus, are they relatively quiet?

Yeah all three are quiet and perform well.
Can get the normal AMP extreme for £710 so not too bad.

I've gone for the Aorus Extreme Edition, should be with me tomorrow! Really looking forward to receiving it! Just listed my "stop gap" R9 280X on ebay, I see mine goes for around £100 which is a nice surprise as I only paid £65 for it a few months back.

Hey, does anyone know if MSI are going to release a backplate for their Gaming X card? I know you can use the original, I just like the look of the EK backplate design.
