i have Gskill CL15 in quad channel and Crucial CL16 quad channel, also they are at different speeds and all good.
 
It's a leap of faith most of the time, since there is no way anyone could ever test every possible RAM combination.
My guess is YES. But it's not guaranteed by any means.

Get yourself an Asus one. They are a bit smaller then MSI pascal cards. The MSI are a bit higher in size which will require a special SLI bridge in case you go SLI one day. Asus is also better for mATX cases like in my case. I own an Asus GTX 1080 OC and it is a very good GPU i can only recommend it. I think GTX 1070 from Asus has the same shape as my gtx 1080. Here is also one video from gaming nexus, he explains very well what i have written above.
 
 

you technically no longer need v-sync when you have g-sync. 
 
yes you can. 
yes g-sync will come into play here. 
 
fast sync: frame rates higher than refresh rate of monitor
g-sync: frame rates lower than refresh rate of monitor, as long as frame rates are within g-sync functional range 
* so you can use both of those in-tandem 
v-sync: constant, consistent frame rates matching refresh rate of monitor (you can use additional settings like double or triple buffering to improve latency) 
 
 

thanks a lot, i guess i got it now. from now on fast-sync together with gsync turned on in nvidia settings. v-sync forever off.

I know that using the Frame Rate Target Control in AMD Crimson settings does create a bit of an input lag, although not nearly as much as V-Sync, so yeah, looks like it does.

You can go for the Dell S2716DG. Just know that it's a TN panel but once calibrated it's pretty darn close to IPS

Thanks Everyone! 
 
 

Choose the one you like the design of. At the moment all the 1080s are reaching an average maximum of 2.0-2.1 Ghz and any after market cooler will keep them below 82c (apart from the crappy reference blowers of course). Extra power / custom pcbs does not appear to be helping with overclocks.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I'm reallllly curious about the effects of PCIe(3.0) x8 with the gtx1080.  The Z170 with skylake gives a max of 20(16+4) PCIe lanes.  I would like to use two m.2 ssds in raid 0 (uses 8 lanes), however that forces the gtx 1080 into x8 mode.  I've scoured the interwebs for benchmarks with the 1080 in a x8 and have not been able to find it.  I'm aware of benchmarks for titan and 980ti, but neither of these can clear the 8gb/sec, but the 1080 in theory, can.
 
I would be extremely grateful if anyone here is able to show a comparison for x8 vs x16 with the gtx 1080.
 
Cheers,

I find this one the best so far: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1080-g1-gaming-review,1.html

I just tried it using z170 pro gaming with 6700k cup and GTX 1080 FE. Both running at pice 3.0 and card's fan set at 100% to eliminate different gpu boost. 
 
X16 benchmark results first pic. 
 
X8 benchmark result second pic
 
same thing!
 
 

Yeah No effect at all. But as a tip. Run ur card fan at 60-70% rpm during gaming to get better gpu boost. Benchmark showing 1-2% improvement. Haha. 

Hi Linustechtips,
 
I am building a new gaming rig 
 
(mobo: asus maximus viii gene, cpu: i6700k, gpu: asus strix gtx 1080, cpu cooler: noctua nh-d14, psu: evga 650 supernova g2, mATX case from Nanoxia)
 
so straight to the question:
 
"The cpu cooler is covering the pcie x16 slot, i cannot insert the GPU without it touching the heatsink of the cooler, i am thinking to insert the graphics card into the other pcie x8 slot and have my mind calm, but will the pcie 3.0 x8 slot (~ 8Gb/s - info from wiki) bottleneck my brand new Pascal GPU (~ 10Gb/s - info from Nvidia website) according to gameplay FPS etc? And if yes how much?
 
I tried to find the answer on internet but without luck to find the information i am seeking. If someone found something about this particular question, the links are very appreciated.
