The Pascal GTX 1080 Ti Owners Thread

[Radox-0]

Hey guys i'm new on this forum
My new toy


But my Strix has very average GPU OC. 2025-2038MHz
MEM is a different story 800+MHz (artefacts at 830MHz)

About average for a 1080Ti I think. I would check your memory though. While it may push that high, your may have actually dropped performance in actual use compared to running slightly lower. If not, then that is impressive.

 

[cole2109]

No drop in performance i tested. MEM is crazy

Little pic of the 1080 Ti with Hybrid kit added

Apologies for quoting an old post, but would you recommend the EVGA hybrid kit @Dicehunter ? I can't decide whether to get a Kraken G12 and Kraken M22, or go for the EVGA kit.

Nice. I'll stick to my acetal block at this point on the Strix.

Although, it could do with repasting and I just don't have the enthusiasm to do it right now what with new cards on the horizon.

Back on water again for my 1080ti, heatkiller block is on the way.. it was only a matter of time.

 

[Radox-0]

That Strix block is nice, but not a fan of the metal plate over the VRM area. Makes sense why its there, but would rather whole area was acrylic tbh.

Hey guys,

Not sure this is the right thread but don't want to start a new one for what is probably a simple question. Given the rest of the rig in my signature below, is it worth swapping out the 780's for a 1080Ti? I'm looking for reasonable performance at 4k and 60hz.

Cheers

Yes but only if -

1) you find a great deal / money is no object
2) Buyers regret doesn't affect you as the new xx80 series could land in the next 6 months

LOL.

Not saying anything

I knew i probably would get another block, the fact that it's a reference board and i can get another heatkiller swung it.

Just did this with 2 x Ati 7970's and there's a very noticeable difference. The 2 cards were great in games which were optimised for them, even better after going from an AMD FX 8350 to an Intel I7 8700k
8Gb DDR3 1600 to 16Gb DDR4 3200.
Asus 990fx R2.0 to Aorus Z370 Gaming 5
I didn't get to try the 1080Ti in my old system to compare but it works flawless in the New setup.
PUBG @144Hz averaging around 140fps (only 1920 X 1080 though)
Project Cars 2 on 3 Screens @144Hz over 120fps resolution around 6000 X 1080 everything maxed out!

I paid £899 for the Aorus GTX 1080Ti Extreme, got around £220 for the two 7970's. a lot of money to pay for sure but I've got what I was looking for performance wise.

It’s worth it as long as the rest of your rig can handle it. And you have money to spare and can pick one up for reasonable pricing.

30-40% quicker than a 1080 which is already approx 2-3x quicker than a 780.

But as others have said likely will be seeing new cards soon so may be worth the wait if your not too bothered.

It's really hard to stay away. Once you know...

 

[Supernaut91]

Anyone seen you can raise the power limit from 117% to 127% now with the k1ngp1n OC firmware for the EVGA FTW3 cards?

Seems there is 3 new firmwares available

- EVGA FTW3 Air cooler
- EVGA FTW3 Hybrid
- EVGA FTW3 12ghz memory OC card

There is quite a bit of a discussion as well on whether EVGA are going to release anything official like this on their own forums.

Got an Inno3D X2. Not the best cooler around, but it'll be going under water in a couple of months.

Not a great clocker to be honest... or more accurately, just heats up like crazy. Clocks up to ~1900, but typically runs at ~90C with fan at 100% (stock volts, +100 on core clock). Sits at 1900 in games and heaven, but drops down to ~1800 in firestrike stress test.

All of this is with an open case as well :| I've got decent enough airflow, but it can only get worse with a closed case. At least it was fairly cheap (£650).

 

[ChrisD.]

Mine gets to 50 under water, that's in fairly GPU intensive games and a loop which hasn't been changed/cleaned since I bought the 1080Ti at launch.

Yeah mine is similar, in same loop as my 6950X.

 

[ChrisD.]

Yeah, mine's with my 5960X, a triple rad and a double. Most of the time it's around 40 degrees though.
