Nope, two different USBs.

Evening folks. It all began when PUBG randomly started to crash 3 times per game. I started getting artifacts when playing back videos on YT, Twitch and on VLC. I also started getting CRC errors when unzipping files, and some PUBG crashes were also CRC related. I tried many things, single sticks of RAM, one SSD only. Nothing seemed to work. Decided to format everything and start again. So I reinstalled Windows. This is where things started to get real funky - Windows Defender wouldn't update - Windows itself wouldn't update - Most of my device drivers were corrupt - attempting to install any kind of driver resulted failure - unpacking Nvidia drivers resulted in a CRC error This same crap occured on all 3 of my SSDs, with separate installs of Windows, with individual sticks of RAM. It also occured on an SSD which had never been near my system and was pulled from a known working PC. On all the install attemtps, running SFC /scannow resulted in corruption being detected and it being unfixable. DISM also failed to correct the issue. I'm thinking this is Motherboard related. If any of you have any other ideas, before I decide to upgrade a year early, please let me know. Cheers.

It is, but out of all the options available to me, the Lightning was the best. Its got the best cooler, the most RGB, dedicated GDDR5X memory voltage adjustments, and with the LN2 BIOS giving me a little more power to play with I can hit ~6400 with the memory. I don't think there's another 1080ti that can do that without flashing the XOC BIOS.

Yeah I understand its a card thats designed with LN2 in mind but I kinda bought it cause it looked cool and @ £799.99 it was even in price with the Strix OC / FTW3 ICX / EVGA Hybrid / MSI Hybrid. Out of all these cards, owning a Lightning sounded more fun.

My bad, I always wonder on these kind of threads if I have missed a rule or something. Thanks.

@Jumper118 Any chance you could update the score sheet with my score? Or have I done something wrong here?

I'm beginning to wonder, how much does operating temperature affect memory overclock stability? I bench at 100% fan speed (On this monster of a card that equates to 53c under full benching load) but when gaming I have ot running it 30-50% fan speed (Inaudible @ 64c) Do you think the extra 10c could introduce some instability in the memory overclock? (assuming that the memory modules also incur a 10c temperature delta at lower fan speeds)

Morning folks, Received my 1080ti Lightning X - Its a beautiful peice of machinery but I'm having some interesting issues with my overclock when gaming. I'm not sure if its just PUBG or if Unigine has lost its touch, but I'm able to run clocks of 2088 (2063 after warm up) and 1590 memory without artifacts when benching Heaven and Superposition, Firestrike Ultra still works fine with the memory that high but the core clock needs to be dropped to 2025 to pass. PUBG on the other hand. Artifacting with core at 1999 and memory at 1500? Really? I've got Superposition 2nd place here for 1080ti (Its not on the spreadsheet for some reason) 1st place for Heaven on Overclockersuk 3rd place for Heaven Overclock.net 1st place for Heaven on TPU It doesn't seem like I lost the silicon lottery (quite the opposite from a benching standpoint) but from other 1080ti owners, are your benching clocks stable in games too?

CPU - i7 6800K @ 4.2Ghz GPU - MSI GTX 1080ti Lightning @ 2076 (2063 actual) / 1590 PS - I'm coming for that top 1080ti Spot once I get the XOC BIOS installed...

1080p at 144hz in modern games can be extremely demanding. A 1080ti would struggle with a game like The Division hitting 144 fps at ultra.

This statement is true from a pure price/performance standpoint. It becomes less true when you factor in the price of a noise cancelling headset and an air conditioning unit.

Nvidia have stated that Volta for gamers isn't coming in the forseeable future. It will likely be well into next year. The 1080ti AIB cards have only been around for 5 or so months and with Vega being a failure Nvidia have no reason to sell Volta to consumers at all, seeing as the 1080 and 1080ti are far better buys. I think we will be waiting 12 more months for Volta to trickle down to us normies. We may even see a Pascal refresh before Volta, by now the profit margins for Pascal must be massive due to manufacturing efficiency increasing. I'm partly saying this objectively, but also partly saying this because I've dropped £799.99 on an 1080ti Lightning X, and need to justify it to myself.

Welcome to the world of adaptive voltage. All maner of settings cause voltage spikes in adaptive mode. What kind of load are you putting on the CPU when its spiking? Prime95? a game using Cryengine?

I'm only aiming for 2050Mhz anyway, anything higher is completely unnecessary unless you're running 4K and need that extra 100-150mhz to acheive 60fps locked. That doesn't mean I wont be playing with the LN2/XOC BIOS for benchmark runs...I need to hit up the overclock.net Firestrike thread at least once. Slightly off topic, I last posted on here a year ago regarding issues with i7 6800K OC'ing - You and done12many2 were the main driving forces behind getting my 6800K stable. Odd how some things never change.
