all 1080 FE can hold over 1900 by just using a more aggressive fan curve.. adding extra core offset and power target to 120% those tend to go easily over 2.000mhz at about 65C stable.. in fact the [H] 1080 FE Sample did an average of 2060mhz and average 56C temp with vRAM at 11.1ghz BUT and the big but with the fan speed at 100%. so with a more moderate fan curve that top at 70% to keep noise down, 2ghz are still easily doable at acceptable temps on the 1080 FE.
I would like to see these after playing for a couple hours in a normal closed case and see if they can sustain that 2000 overclock. Running a benchmark mine can do 2200 but wont stay stable for playing a game but will do a benchmark fine. It sort of like taking a 7900X and taking it to 4.8, sure it can do it but it cant sustain it for long. Not saying it's impossible Araxie but I dont think it's as sustainable as some benchmarks make it look. Plus many people dont realize it's throttling and dropping the clocks and they state it's running 2000 but in reality its running slower and why they are puzzled that their benchmark numbers dropped. AIB do far better as they have much better cooling and sometimes a few tweaks to the bios that help. But even at 1900 the 1080 is a nice fast card and Vega will have it's hand full trying to stay with it.
