Cool thanks.
I am almost tempted to put NZXT crap on it once it arrives.

Well im stuck on the g-sync bandwagon so what AMD pulls with vega wouldnt do much for me either way

Asus Strix 1080 Ti review. I find it funny it doesn't overclock any better (actually worse) than the Founders Edition. But it does it quieter. Requires 3 slots though.
For the StriX version i was estimating at least +10-15% higher than Founder'sEdition. But only +5% instead ?. Wasn't expecting such low results.
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.
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.

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...
Cool, that's what I typically do. Thanks!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
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.
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 hadn't heard that...any references for that info?
Toms Hardware said:GPU Boost takes the clock rates down by one notch as soon as the sensor hits 40°C
overclock.net forums (user feedback) also http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-1080-ti-water-cooling,4975-2.html

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.
Just put on Valley and the GPU throttled by 13Mhz as soon as it hit 40C. Perhaps it throttles every 10C increase in temp?
