GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

For those curious here is my fan curve and temps after 5 loops of heaven bench. Core clock didn't go below 1950Mhz.

Not worth the price premium over FE then...

Modest price premiums are worth it for the acoustics alone. I don't know how people tolerate those high pitched leaf blower coolers. Maybe the newest nVidia iteration does a better job with this, but in my experience the blowers are annoying as hell.

If you hate noise, I'd think you have kept your cards under water.
It's either stock or water. Everything else is aesthetics.

All fans make noise, including the ones mounted to radiators, so even water cooling is not silent. I am talking about the high pitch and dB levels of blower coolers in contrast with custom cards. The last 2 generations of MSI Twin Frozr coolers have done a fantastic job with this, hence why I am waiting for the MSI Gaming X 1080 Ti.

The 10 series is quieter than you remember.
With AIO solutions now becoming the norm, even a single rad is a better solution over an overbuilt custom cooler that will still throttle under load.

No custom air cooler is going to keep you under 60C when OC'd.
 
Amazing card. In idle I can't hear it. In games I use headphones, so don't bother with noise (but without headphones and with 120% power it can be heard), so I'll think of Alphacool Eiswolf or likes of it.

But the results... they are at max wow-effect. Just put it through spin of Forza Horizon 3. On my 980 Ti in 1440p, I had to kill the MSAA and FXAA to get about 52 FPS. Now? Now I run AFx16, MSAAx4, FXAA and well, lowest FPS I got was 72. For Honor maxed gets me 60 FPS (even with occlusion and such at full). Now going to see Deus Ex and Watch Dogs 2. I'm glad I did upgrade... was totallly worth to swap my 980 Ti for that in 1440p.

I STILL can't get FH3 to give me a solid 60+, even with the 1080ti. My GPU and CPU are both working at about 50-60% while I play the game so it's something to do with their engine.

The pitch of the modern cards isn't that bad. What I can't stand is the constant changes in pitch and volume levels. When it's constant or ramps up slowly I can tune it out. So far, the fans on my CPU radiator are far louder than my GTX 1080Ti's. They are basically as quiet as my Titan X's were.

When you guys are doing AIO, are you just buying the 1070/1080 eVGA Hybrid to put on it?
 
For any of those that have installed their ti already; did you have to do a system wipe to get full performance? I read somewhere someone had to do that for the MSI version. The one I ordered...

There's no specific requirements for any of the FE versions, MSI or otherwise. They're all the same and shouldn't require any kind of system wipe. A driver clean-out would probably be a good idea though.
 
Got my two yesterday with EKWB waterblocks. Nice easy swap from my 980Tis running EKWB blocks.

Boosting off the line at 1880Mhz :woot:

Put on +150 core +500 memory and it's currently at 2025, dropping to 2012Mhz after 5 or so minutes. I'm going to try pushing harder when I get back from work as my temps are well under 60C.

Cool, that's what I typically do. Thanks!

Just an FYI that the card will start dropping core clocks at 30C. If you can keep them under 30C you wont have any drops in core clock speed.

I don't think that is entirely possible with my current setup. Not enough rad surface area.
 
K well user feedback says they saw the clock speed drop as soon as the card hit 30C on overclock.net
 
I'll check it when I get home and report back. I'm not even sure if my cards idle at 30C so I don't know how much use I'll be.
 
Woo! Got my card today (1 day after it was supposed to be delivered thanks to the blizzard)...

... and I probably won't get to play with it until the weekend (but I do have an EK block and all the parts I need).

33dba for the Strix vs 39dba for FE. That's roughly 25% of the noise FE makes. The facts appear to dictate your last sentence is made up. I'm willing to bet the difference between FE and Strix is greater than Strix vs water. Water still requires fans, not to mention a pump.

At any rate, if you're looking for higher clocks from Asus, the card to get is going to be the ROG Strix.

Go research on the official forums, pretty sure there's a workaround. I think the problem may have been that game files are encrypted/copy protected and literally being decrypted while you play.
 
Ok so the best I can get my GPUs down to is 31C with my monitors sleeping and my AC on full, it's still summer here so there isn't much more I can do. As soon as I do anything it goes up to 32C so I can't comment on throttling at 30C. It seems like "throttling at 30C" is a totally bogus claim though, it would take a pretty extreme setup to get the delta required just to idle below 30C. These card are designed to run at 84C though, so what would be the point of having it throttle at 30?
 
Just put on Valley and the GPU throttled by 13Mhz as soon as it hit 40C. Perhaps it throttles every 10C increase in temp?
 
This has been there on all Maxwell cards. GPU throttles post 30 C. Throttling varies from card to card, most throttle after 6-7 C increase by 12/13 MHz (depending on rounding).
 
Fan is pretty quiet on stock settings (though not very effective). After setting a better fan profile it is audible, but much quieter than the TitanXP on similar settings.

Nope, definitely throttling at 40C by 13Mhz but thereafter, any throttling I'm seeing up to 54C is not temp related, only load related. GPU at 100% load 54C is the same clock speed as at 40C.
