Got the last card at Microcenter today.

Agreed. Camping nowinstock all day is the only way to find one. I got a EVGA 1080 SC that way. They were sold out in 5 minutes so I'm guessing they got in maybe 20 and I got one. Major inventory problems with this gen. I still refuse to believe it's demand as much as it is low supply. First world problems though...

Camped Nowinstock and picked up a Strix - seriously not impressed by availability.
 
Man all this talk of everyone selling their Titan X's got me to sell both mine today :D Didn't get what I'd ideally like for them but given how fast prices are dropping, I'm glad they sold ($1130 for both with hybrid cooling but ebay/pp/shipping fees will cut that down). Now the question is, do I grab a 1070/1080 as a temporary card or just hang on till 1080Ti is released by using a cheap shit card like Radeon R380? Hmmm.

Thanks but I don't see any of those showing what I inquired about. Specifically, a Titan X on a custom vbios that is pushing 1400+ MHz vs a stock and OC'd 1080. I've seen one review push the Titan X to 1500 MHz but it was in German with a handful of games. The 1070 is only faster than the Titan X at stock speeds, it never shows the Titan X OC'd vs 1070 OC'd so those benchmarks by [H] are useless to me.

Why do you need a custom VBIOS? The GTX Titan X cards can easily hit 1425MHz-1475MHz on the stock BIOS with the fan speed turned up. You only need a custom BIOS if you are looking to hit 1550-1575 MHz.

I put mine on the ACX Cooler and had no problems running with 1485MHz boost clock.

The ones on reference hit thermal and power limits. Plus boost often gets in the way of steady clock rates.

LOL you caved. :D

What you get for your stop gap card depends on how much gaming you'll be doing. If not very much and you're ok with 980-980 Ti level performance, then the upcoming Polaris RX 480 would be the best cheap solution. If you anticipate doing lots of gaming then grab a 1070 (if you can find one in stock ;)).

I suppose a 1070 would do if the $380 version actually existed outside nvidia marketing slides :) I plan to ship these out by Monday or Tuesday so it would leave me without anything till RX480. Hopefully AMD releases enough of the $200 ones.

Oh and about gaming, the only ones I really play are ARMA 3 and Overwatch these days.

You game at 1440p right? If that's the case then the RX 480 should be enough for both games, assuming it's around stock 980 performance.

That and I have an aversion to spending >$300 for a stop gap card. But that's just me.
 
Also it looks like Micro center is as good as they say. I took the card back to the store to show them that the leds were not working (already tightened the connections on the PCB) and they took my info and told me they will call and give me a replacement 1080 when it comes in. I love having a retail store like that close by home.

Heh turns out the ebay buyer was super shady so I canceled the sale. Guess I'll hold on to these babies for a while longer till 1080 Ti surfaces. {NG}Fidel I'm looking forward to those OC vs OC results.
 
Stop posting. Start benching. Then post results. :p

Looking forward to some Head to Head in the following:
3dmark Firestrike
Heaven
Valley
GTA V
Witcher 3
Rise of Tomb Raider
Division
Doom
Anything else you can find :).

Good call. Since the Titan name recognition is strong, you'd probably still be able to get at least $400 for each even when 1080 Ti drops. If you play your cards right (pun intended), you could even upgrade to 1080 Ti at 0 cost.

I'll get on it soon. Actually building another system for a client at the moment.
i7 5820K Asus-1080 FE- 32GB Corsair Dominator 3000MHZ Ram, H75 Cooler, SFX 600W PSU, m2 950 Pro 512GB. Basically my system haha.

EVGA Precision XOC is not working. Anyone getting that issue on win 10 pro 64bit? installs but wont launch.
 
All i know is i downloaded 6.0.1 i believe. Installed just fine but will not launch.
 
Ugh this is killing me even though the performance is great I always like to eek out a little more. I had my 390X oced in here along with the CPU and with this drop in power usage I figured it would be great to OC.
Perhaps I will have to wait for another update to the tool. In the meantime I will try to reinstall that program again.
 
Try the latest MSI Afterburner if that doesn't work. I'm pretty sure you need the beta for that one, unless it's been updated in the past week or 2.

I got 3Dmark, GTA5, Witcher 3, The Division, Heaven, and Valley. Just not Doom or Tomb Raider. Ill be getting on it once I can fairly OC this 1080!
 
I can safely say afterburner works, I never really used it before but I am getting the hang of it and checking OCs now.
 
I've had a couple crashes but so far my system can get 19k in fire mark. That's with the cpu as per my signature and my gpu boosted but 140mhz. Honestly expected more but at the same time I'm not dissatisfied. Just wonder if i missed a setting somewhere. Never oced these new nvidia gpus to be honest.
 
Microcenter is replacing my card and offering a msi gaming or the asus strix. I'm leaning towards strix but what about you guys.
 
They are replacing the G1 Gaming due to failed RGB LEDs. Lame feature or not I did want a card with that feature.
 
My question is what features do you think would make the MSI gaming X better than the Strix and so forth.
