GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

Armenius said:
See, this is the part that everyone is missing with this release. The 1080 Ti is actually being accurately marketed thanks to the 970 fiasco. Remember that the 970 also had 8 of 64 ROPs disabled, but it was still advertised as a 64 ROP, 256-bit 4GB card when it was a 56 ROP, 224-bit 3.5GB card. If the fiasco didn't happen then NVIDIA would probably still be advertising the 1080 Ti as a 96 ROP, 384-bit 12 GB card instead of 88 ROP, 352-bit 11GB.

Come on guys!! so many years later and i keep seeing this misinformation being said, even from experienced [H] members such as Armenius (*this is what surprised me the most). There have been many articles since then, that made it clear that 970GTX had 4GB of RAM, NOT 3,5 although a 512MB segment was underperforming !!
Check the new GTX1080Ti review tom's :
Losing capacity is also preferable to repeating the problem Nvidia had with GeForce GTX 970, where it removed an ROP/L2 partition, but kept the memory, causing slower access to the orphaned 512MB segment. In this case, all 11GB of GDDR5X communicates at full speed.

I have to ask what you mean..the Titan XP has only ever been available direct from Nvidia's store, and it's been at $1200 exactly since the release day. Still available at the price today. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/titan-x-pascal/

The higher prices on Amazon are from price-gougers who are ordering the cards direct from Nvidia's store and reselling them to you.

In fairness, I've only looked at them a couple of times since they came out. They were never in stock at the time I checked so I'd look elsewhere only to find the price gouging.

Those extra 512MB were pretty much unusable though, might as well just advertise it as 3.5GB and let the nerds find out there's an extra 512MB of slow ass memory you didn't bother disabling :) Whenever I managed to push VRAM usage past 3.5 on my 970, it would stutter but I never saw a number higher than 3.7-3.6 (probably the drivers fighting against it). I can easily make my 980 ti show 6GB used on the other hand.
Whatever, the ti is 11GB and that's that. no BS this time around and let's also cheer for the accurate performance numbers they have given us in addition to the specs.

Yeah, that was one of the weird parts of the Titan XP. Nvidia itself was the ONLY seller of the card. Any other cards for sale were purchased direct from Nvidia then resold, so they're always going to be more than $1200. Their stock hasn't been too bad though after the first month.

Yeah, I ended up getting 2 orders (from different stores during the rush to be safe). Told myself I would sell the one that comes last, but now I'm feeling like I should just SLI the bad boys.

Well, build complete. Z270i, 7700K (H75 single pull fan), 1080ti, SF450W, 16GB GSkill Trident Z. Running beautifully. Will upgrade to the Corsair 600W soon to give some more overhead. Coming from a 750ti bumped by CPU load temps up 4-5C.

Temps at load:
CPU: 70C
GPU: 85C

Blazingly quick. Couldn't be more pleased. Next up is a full loop, new PSU and custom cables, more fans for cooling.

Very nice -- this is pretty much the exact build I've been putting together. A+
 
Got my 1080 Ti installed this afternoon. With a fan curve that maxes out at 65% I am hitting 2,000MHz core clock. My max GPU temp is 76C, fan speed at that temp is 56%. This was recorded doing 2 loops of the firestrike extreme benchmark. Core clock bounced around from 1960 - 2000. I did mess around briefly with memory overclocking, I took the card to 11,716Mhz memory and I gained a whole 8 points in firestrike extreme - not worth it. My ambient temp is 68F or 20C.

GPU overclock settings:

Core Voltage - Not changed
Power Limit - 120%
Temp Limit - 90C
Core Clock - +152 (2,000Mhz in firestrike)
Mem Clock - 0
Fan Speed - Curve which maxes out at 65% at 84C

Very nice. Congrats on the new card. Clocks are pretty good to. I'd imagine gaming on that would be pure bliss.
 
Very nice indeed! Congrats on the 1080ti. I am so tempted to pick one up at microcenter as they have a couple left!
 
Overwatch at 1440P - didnt go below 130fps :D. Damn this game can tax the card! Not voltage or power limited here though, clearly some clock speed headroom to be had - temps become an issue though. 65% max fan speed.

Sorry, just noticed it was the first word in your post lol. I think I may have read "overclocked"
 
So am I the only one on HardForum with a 1080Ti? No one else ponied up for Saturday delivery??

Beta testers buy first.. haha joke aside, I tend to wait couple of days up to couple of weeks before buy a new GPU. the 1080TI it's definitively the card I was waiting for to upgrade from my 980TI but I'll wait some days to see what AIB's can offer.

Not the only one, no. Had it for 2 days and been playing (too many) hours. Can't wait for the tools to remove the cooler and install my own though, it's definitely too loud for my liking even at just 50%. I'm not overclocking anything but it boosts up to ~1820 on its own but then with the thermal throttling it goes down a bit and settles around 1600 when gaming for several hours. With my custom cooling it should be able to sustain 1800+ constantly. Even with the subpar stock cooling it's still almost as fast as my 980 ti - which is just what I wanted and lets me use silly settings or enjoy very high framerates at 1440p.
Can't wait for the 4k g-sync HDR monitors, though :)

Make that 4K Gsync OLED HDR monitors and I'm in. For now I will stick with my Acer Predator 1440P 165hz :D
 
Question for you guys who got a Ti. Ordered mine on Friday afternoon and this was my invoice. Doesn't make sense to me though with the price.

What do you guys suggest, getting a founder's edition 1080Ti or wait for custom? Custom supposedly have better quality? I'm getting a water block and putting it under water. I would also like to clock it as high as possible. So, FE or custom for my needs?
 
The ACX and ICX ones have a midplate which is convenient for those of us who use AiO water brackets or hybrid coolers. (Incidentally, the midplate evga 1080's with stock hsf probably didnt burn up since the vram was covered by a heat plate and thermal pads). The superclocked (SC), FTW and Strix cards have higher boost clocks by default for those who don't manually over clock much or at all. The 1080ti is already clocked high too.

I'm going to get two 1080ti SC acx/icx on AiO brackets so that they never throttle.

If I had the option I would have paid for Saturday delivery. Unfortunately the best I could get was either 2 or 3 day. I ordered mine through Newegg and I probably didn't get that option because of the time I put the order in. :/

What is AutoAdd?
Click to expand...

I got the same thing when I bought mine from Newegg. AutoAdd is the nvidia game code that's automatically added to the order. Accounting wise you're still paying for the "free" game, what they're doing is deducting the cost of the game from the card and then "charge" you for the "free" gift. If you look at your order history on Newegg you'll see that the game and the video card are listed separately. The negative $59.99 is applied to the card to cancel out the $59.99 for the game code. In the end you're still paying $699 plus shipping, but doing the billing that way must keep the accounting department happy. :D

Does anyone know if water-cooling a Nvidia 1080Ti will void its warranty?

It is pretty close but still not quite a titan killer...here's mine http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/18539518?

You're running a Intel Core i7-6950X vs. his Intel Core i7-4790K. Wouldn't that make a difference? Are you still running those Titan XPs in SLI too (in your signature)? Not familiar enough with 3DMark to know what they are benching.

Also, why are they both registering as Titan XPs?

Your 6950 is heavily skewing the Physics score upward. If you were running a 6700k like Pandora or an old 4790k like me, the comparison would be a lot more even. It looks like Pandora also didn't OC his VRAM much either. The real number to pay attention to is the graphics sub-score when the CPU's aren't identical, otherwise the Physics score is heavily impacted in the overall calculated score. For example here are just our graphics sub-scores:

Pandora's Box: 14847
Charnelrot: 15383
Me: 15804

And here's the graphics sub-score for a 1080Ti properly OC'ed: 15635 (Ref: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/11951986)

So yes, while the 1080Ti isn't a Titan XP killler, it does come knocking at the door... hard, asking to borrow some power tools and the lawn mower.

Saved me a bunch of typing :D thanks.

Also that score you linked is running a 7700K at 5Ghz, mine is 4.5Ghz.

I could probably get a higher score if I did a reformat. This install of Windows 10 has been running for over a year.

I don't understand. That link contains no SLI benchmarks. Or are you just saying that a Single 1080Ti isn't going to yield sufficient frames for you?
