1080 Ti

My favorite hardware supplier (and his servants) offered me to deliver one FE on March 14 or March 15. Let's hope they do. At least I pressed the button.
 
Waiting on my bonus from work - ifs its a decent one i'm getting a 108Ti - if not its another 1070 or 1080

... did the same, decent enough, pressed the order button ... ;)

and if "A" not lying it says: "Preparing for Shipment" :D
but i fear the same as with 1070 will happen and delayed ...

Updated to: shipping / arriving today ...

Got my 1080Ti .... but its not folding (under Linux). I deleted the GPUs.txt file but the re download is the same: the 1080Ti is not yet added (dropped the maintainer a PM)

Also the official NV driver 378.13 is not giving the card's proper name. Bleeding edge ...

:(:mad::cry::unsure::banghead:

The fan profile of the stock-MSI cards seems better; neither my 980Ti nor the benched 1070 ever reached 80C ...
 
with coolbits and 66% fan the temps getting better

But hell, the fan of the FE is noisy at that speed; I really miss my MSI 1070 Gaming X with this respect. Coolingwise I think MSI is doing a great job.

Did I hear someone saying: get another 1080ti from MSI once available ? stop saying this ...

 
This is an awesome card for folding. I recalled back in the days where I was a member of AtlasFolder Hunt-Dis team, he was producing 500K+ ppd with more than 50 GPU cards. I know he used to be active here during the bigadv days but the videos that he made still inspires me.

Imagine what a 50 1080ti would do.



 
I remember seeing those videos back in the day.

Even 50 980 Tis or 50 vanilla 1080s would be phenomenal.

Although I would love to have 50M+ PPD.
 
Looks like $3000 energy cost per month on that scale with 13kWh :eek:
He was already running 23 GTX295 and probably consumed more power than anyone here. Each GTX 295 has max power of 289W, more than 1080 Ti. Just a hypothetical argument, what if he could ....1080ti:cool: and no water cooling. Ok off topic now.
 
The date and time stamp showed 2014. So I think he has stopped folding first in his old team and then later with us. Wish he could join us back:whistle:

The 1080Ti GPU farm will be super-awesome show of power and need lots of $.
 
Ah yeah it does show 2014. Would explain why I couldn't located him. Haha
