    The hybrid and xtreme gaming waterforce editions still have no indication if they will be reference or custom PCB's as models shown seem to be reference models so far (unless just example samples).

    First ask yourself, what resolution are you planning to game on... 1080p or higher? Your budget is very limited indeed, so I reckon you will be limited to 1080p gaming anyway. For this I'd stick to the RX480 (4GB) at roughly $200 and buy a good Freesync monitor to go with it, then the rest go as high as you can.

    So the Asus ROG Strix 1080 has higher standard clocks at 1759/1898? I initially thought the FTW might be worth while, but at this rate, the Asus is 1st, FTW 2nd, and Gigabyte G1 is 3rd. Still waiting to see the clocks on Gigabyte Xtreme, Classified and HOF.

    That's a very naive conclusion... but I digress... to each their own.

    That's still not Nvidia's fault in this respect... AMD chose a driver that had the issue, and seems is not an issue in a later version. So again... how is a bugged Demo, that caused less processing in this instance and is since fixed later drivers Nvidia's gimping/fault?

    The only thing is you will be sharing DP bandwidth, to run 3 monitors at their best, you'd need to attach them directly to the GPU each.

    It's called generational driver maturity... new uArch, early drivers... More like AMD fanboys claiming hardware issues... jumping to conclusions... Agreed, deliberate AMD gimping using press drivers and not public drivers Give that man a wisky!

    I called it before... so it's a driver maturity issue... and all the AMD fanboys who went off about crappy ASYNC sypport... jumping to conclusions as fanboys do...

    MSI Aero...

    Click bait titles...

    On factory clocks, the Strix, on piece of mind the FTW

    I'm currently torn between the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming and Galax's Hall Of Fame (HOF) designs. Planning a White/Silver/Black build. Depends which of the two gives the best clocks and OC ability

    With Skylake-E, that might be next year... I'm holding off on the mobo and CPU for my build based on the next gen's 6 core CPU

    There are AIB versions that can run 79fps fairly smoothly at 4K Ultra on Doom

    Doom
  17. Big-G
    At Ultra... so some AIB 1080's are 4K@60 capable... Point...

    This is aimed at owners, not the peanut gallery...

    I've seen an EVGA ACX3.0 SC edition run 79fps average fairly stable at 4K...

    Rumor has it Nvidia isn't very happy about him posting that...
  22. Big-G
    Na, $200 4GB should be fine
  23. Big-G
    He wishes... the AMD slide was mentioning sub $500... that would be the 8GB items...

    The thing is, it's well known... the only thing Nvidia guarantees is the base clock, boost clock is an estimation, but GPU Boost will always try and get the best clock range it can get within limits. So technically it is not cheating... you are getting the best you can get... AMD on the other hand advertises a boost clock, but generally the card will throttle down from that to match the environment. So essentially most AMD owners always get less than they thought...

    I wouldn't purely call it an uArch issue, it's also driver interpretation of compute instructions to pass to the CUDA's... The 1080 drivers are very new, AMD has had a long time to sort out their stuff since Fury X released....
