GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

My card is in limbo and I have to ship out my current card this morning. Sad face. Have to deal with a 7770 or something stupid in the meantime.

Also, FedEx tracking is confusing to read.

Looks fine as its moving alone.
 
Regular Firestrike? What is this, 2013? You should be benching with Firestrike Ultra now that you have a 1080 Ti ;).
Does everyone actually pay for the advanced edition to get access to that? I refuse.

Haha, i compared it to my previous video cards . 4000 higher score than my old temporary 1070 G1 @ 2100mhz same PC.
 
Just got my PNY XLR8 1080 Ti in. I am so worried it won't fit in my case it is sooooo long. What OC software do you guys recommend for nVidia cards, been in camp AMD for so long now. I normally use afterburner but do I need to do anything special to unlock the voltage or power targets, or just play it safe?

Absolutely wasn't fine. Customs in Tiawan still had it after 6 days. Just got off the phone with Corsair and FedEx. Corsair didn't provide the tariff number or some bologna.

Easiest and most common is MSI Afterburner: http://www.guru3d.com/files-categories/videocards-overclocking-tweaking.html
Can find it in the list.

Picked up the strix. Not sure if i should put waterblock on it. :/

Goes alright with old 4770k

Why is your max turbo speed listed as 1.8ghz? FYI, I don't know if it's related, but I had to update my bios after the creators update. My cpu would not clock any higher than 2.4ghz. seems the power management had gone wonky. Might be something to check.

Not sure what happened. History in 3d mark showed it was clocked at 4.9ghz whole time.

Wierd.

SysInfo is sometimes wonky. Every other run it will not report the clock speed on my Titan X correctly.
 
Quite happy with the strix card. I can hit 2126 mhz and pass benchmark on 100% fan with a guess of low 20c Celsius ambient. i wonder what sort of temps i can hit with EK waterblock :|

You may not see higher but you'll atleast mantain the speed and be alot quieter! Which on my book is why i went water cooling.
 
This thread could use a bump.

Did this last weekend.

This is the 1070/1080 hybrid kit. I don't care about the EVGA shroud.

Case is a 230T. I ended up using velcro on the rad, and stuffed it into optical bay. Punched out the optical covers, and glued in PVC mesh.

The fan EVGA includes was obnoxious. I have a NF-P12 on there now.

Core clock +150, power/temp max, volt +50, it bounces between 1974 - 2012. Usually sits at 2000.

65º C after an hour of Gears 4, ambient around 27º. (Hello FL Summer)

Temps in the mid 50s is doable, just a matter of how much noise you want to put up with.

CPU temps rose a few degrees.

Quietest PC I've ever had. :geek:

More pics for reference.

I just removed the shroud on the pump housing and reinstalled the plate over it. :D 20170320_222700.jpg

Nice. lol

I would've considered cutting the shroud, if I could easily get a replacement.

My PC sits low anyways, on a pedestal I made with 2x12 lumber.
 
I just removed the shroud on the pump housing and reinstalled the plate over it. :D

I tried this approach but couldn't quite fit the shroud nearest to the brackets - the hose was way too stiff.
Also, I think I almost killed the GPU die in the process. They left microscopic dimples on the copper heat plate.

Ended up taking a dremel to mod the 1080/70 hybrid kit midplate.

My temps are (21C room temp, +150core/+500mem/120%power)
- 53C Unigine Heaven max settings (2012MHz)
- 57C Witcher 3, GTA V, Farcry Primal (2000MHz)

Ah. Yea I was worried about the hoses myself. It worked out fine. I guess I could modify the kits midplate...considering I probably wont return it anytime soon or ever :D

I sat my core @ 2025 during gaming and max my temp @52C. I havent touched the memory yet.
 
Went with +50 memory (5557 MHz) and
Got 2012 MHz in Afterburner OSD and 2050 MHz I Unigine Heaven OSD. Temp is 61C under water.

No artefacts, no throttling, absolutely low noise.

But disassembling FE to put water block? Never again. Such a pita, especially hexagonal screws under backplate.
 
Pretty soon I'm going to unplug the Geforce GTX glowing green logo on my card since Nvidia LED visulizer resets with every driver install.
I see a few tuts on youtube on how to Sandpaper the logo green away.
 
Just bought an Asus GTX 1080ti turbo & slapped it into my EVGA Hadron air case.

So far so good, but I am running the PSU at pretty close to peak capacity. It is pulling something like 425-440 watts from the wall at full load.

I am definitely going to be looking to get either Lian-Li's new mITX case with tempered glass, or one of the N-Case's.

Temps max out at 81-82c, but don't go any higher and I don't really notice any throttling, so that's good.

Odd. I installed the visualizer once, turned off the LEDs, and they have never come back on. They might if you run a device driver cleaner, since that wipes registry settings.

I recommend the NCASE - with your configuration you could easily get a 700W ATX PSU in there.

Wifey has the Hadron Air and I have a v2 NCASE M1 - hers is under the desk and mine is on top.

Have you seen the new Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift and Shift X? takes a mITX board and can fit a full sized PSU and vid card.

3 slots.

This cooler doesnt have a backplate and there is a VRM on the back of the card at the power connection end that must be cooled.
The standard backplate is fine for this but removing the main cooler loses the screw mounts for the backplate.
Its a dual screw method to hold the backplate on. The screws holding the cooler have nut shape ends with tiny screw holes for the backplate screws.
I had to use nuts to mount the cooler screws but they are pretty small and no local shop had any.
So I fabricated some which work perfectly. Its better and easier to get proper nuts imo.

An interesting extra.
My PC case is mounted inside a table with the motherboard horizontal and the case side off. So I can do some spastic things cos its well hidden.
(The CPU is watercooled with an external radiator)
I strung 2 silent 120mm fans together side by side with tie wraps and attached 150mm ducting to each of them.
The fans are sat above the video card pointing toward the motherboard.
This supplies cold air from under the table directly to the gfx card fans.

Idle temp dropped from 5C above room ambient to 2C above.
Load temps during stress tests dropped at least 8C.
With 21C room ambient, max load temp when stress testing is 57C.
**edit, forgot to mention thats with a +114MHz overclock, maxing around 2012 to 1987MHz.

I am considering using 2x140mm fans with ducting. 2x140mm because the cooler is quite long.
This time fit the fans directly to the cooler, replacing the stock fans.
i imagine this will knock up to another 5C off.
I will have to dispense with the PC case to allow side access to the gfx card, and make a frame to hold the card rigid in the motherboard.
Keeps me occupied :)


ps my card is not a brilliant example.
With the stock cooler it did approx 1950MHz with 75% fan, WAY too loud.
The Accelero III cooler has silenced it, cools it a lot better and increased performance about 5%.


I installed mine yesterday. I'd installed it on a pair of GTX480s about six years ago so it wasn't my first rodeo but still - I can't afford to replace this card for 6-9 months if I break it.

The pre-epoxy layout:
XbOsInn.jpg


I didn't have a good solution for the rear module (whatever it is) so it's not covered but the card seems to be running fine.

It stays at 60-61C in games and idles at 36-38C

I tried pushing clocks and power but only seemed to make it unstable on my first attempt. With stock settings, it runs at 1950 and spikes into the 2000s occasionally (seems to be power limited)

I did it for the noise so even if there isn't much of a performance increase, I'm extremely happy to not have to listen to it anymore.

Yes, the wiring sucks, I have a love-hate relationship with the V21 (the window panel is the top):

So this is a conversation I was having over at Overclock.net. Undervolting and then overclocking the 1080 Ti is definitely the way to go.

Pandora's Box said:
Anyone else notice that Rise of the Tomb Raider seems to really punish the graphics card in terms of power usage and temperature? I just started playing the game yesterday and noticed my undervolted 1080 Ti was reaching 80C. This was at max in game settings, DX12, 1440P with 2xSSAA - not exactly easy to drive but I was impressed with the performance (60+fps). GPU was even hitting power throttling at 115% power usage, core clock speed was ranging from 1870 - 2000.

Mooncheese said:
80c with the undervolt? Good lord, what's ambient like where you are? Still rocking the Silverstone Raven? I run ROTTR in 3D Vision and found that HBAO+ is extremely resource intensive, try running ssao instead if you want more frames and or want to get the temps down. I can run this game at 60 fps at 2560x1440p basically everywhere with only a few compromises (120 FPS 2D) if you want I can tell you my exact settings when I get home.

Pandora's Box said:
No I'm running a thermaltake p3 case now, basically open air (see my rig in my signature). 72f is the ambient temperature. Yeah 80c at 1volt, 70% fan speed. I'm pretty sure it's the 2xssaa that's causing the temps to skyrocket. Game is basically running at 5160x2880 (2xssaa is basically doubling the resolution). I'm happy with the performance, just surprised at the temps and power throttling. Even firestrike extreme doesn't push it this hard


So I finally had time tonight to remove the cooler and put some better thermal paste on the GPU. Removed whatever generic junk MSI was using (and a lot of it too, god damn lol, replaced it with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaught. Just ran 3 runs back to back of the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark. GPU was at 1.000 volts and was running from 2025 to 2000 MHz at a max temp of 63C. I'm astonished at the drop in temperature from 80C to 63C from just changing the thermal paste. Ambient temperature has not changed either, 72F. The crazy thing is, is I was running this benchmark run at 3440x1440 max settings, though FXAA and not SSAA, the previous runs where I was hitting 80C before changing the thermal paste was at 1440P.

While creating this post I decided to try 0.993 volts @ 2000MHz. Card ran locked at 2000Mhz at .993 Volts, it hit 60C after 3 runs of Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark, a 4C drop from 1.000 volts.

Achieved a new high score in Firestrike Extreme:

GPU @ 2088 Mhz, Memory at 1514MHz

14857

So what you're saying is I should go ahead and undervolt my 1080ti? Msi founders w/ Evga hybrid kit, and it usually doesn't go above 55c. I have MSI afterburner installed and will take a look at it when I get home. I run it at the stock clocks because I really don't need the extra horsepower. I find it plays everything I throw at it. 1440p 144hz gysnc, and my eyes are perfectly happy anywhere between 75-144fps
 
I'm late to the party but have been researching 1080 Ti's in anticipation for this year's sale season.
I was originally dead set on the FTW3 but have been hearing info about how inefficient the cooler is.

http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2905-asus-1080-ti-rog-strix-review-vs-ftw3-gaming-x/page-2

Unfortunately it seems like ASUS takes the crown, with MSI right behind. I hesitate to spend $700+ on an ASUS product... :(
I hear ya. I've been back and forth with MSI for much of the last 10 years along with some GIgabyte stuff. I remember that last go around(1080 non-TI's) the Strix's had many good reviews and then when I saw some early ones for the air/oc TI's I knew it was time to take a chance on something different. Not really happy about the price, but only some of the liquid solutions ever give me second thoughts and even then its pretty obvious custom loops are the only way to go for the most extreme numbers. In terms of air, the strix is definitely one of the champs this round along MSI-like you said.
 
Guys, about how far are we from seeing 1180Ti (or whatever the next card will be named) in our hands? A year ?

Or more from what I understand..... No point in releasing new cards unless there is legitimate competition.

The Vega 64 only matches the 1080 at a much higher power draw.

My guess, a year and a half?

Nvidia has legitimate competition- themselves.

And upcoming games, and the various compute markets, none of which are 'satisfied'.

And probably most important? Nvidia competes for their shareholders. They have to produce something faster, or something the same speed but cheaper to produce, in order to keep sales and earnings up. They do both with regularity.
