The Elite's main features are 12GHZ GDDR5X and dual bios.

I own a 1080ti FTW3 Black. I used to have issues with my temps, specially while running games in 4k (73~76c, at 65% fan speed). 1 day I decided to open up the card, clean and re-apply the thermal paste (NT-H1) and my temps dropped to 65~69c (55% fan speed).

So you only have 1 exhaust and like 4~5 intakes?, try flipping some fans around. When I tried having a bunch of intakes and one exhaust, I noticed my gpu temps way higher as opposed to a balanced/neutral fan config/pressure.

I noticed that Realtek kept on saying "You've unplugged your audiojack" each time that i lost audio, so i thought my mobo's line out jack started dying, however, front case jack does the same. Even thou, it works with the monitor, it still bothers me, it was working perfectly, now i feel like the pc is faulty.

Thanks for your reply, I usually run Corsair Link and Precision X in the background. I had my Xbox One controller unplugged when all this happened. I current have Windows to do nothing when it there's an incoming call. Will try Audioswitch, thanks for the suggestion.

This odd behavior started yesterday while I was playing Far Cry 3, out of nowhere my pc lost audio completely ( even if i closed the game and tried to watch a video, my speakers didn't any emit sound whatsoever, even thou I could see the little bars moving in the volume mixer). I was a bit confused but hey! nothing that an old faithful reset cant fix, It did bring my audio back, however, once I loaded up another game, same thing happened again. Specs Cpu: I7-7700k Gpu: Gtx 1080ti Ram: 16gb 3200mhz Mobo: Aorus Z270x K7 Psu: 750G2 (Not sure if drivers are relevant) What I've tried to no avail Formatted Using my headphones directly into the line out audio jack in the back of the motherboard, still lost audio. Using the front case audio jack, still lost audio Different speakers Uninstalling the Realtek drivers, tried, nothing. Installed them back again, funny enough, I did get audio back once i re-installed it, however, once i loaded a game, I lost it. Using the Windows Troubleshooter, that thing did squat. Only way for me to keep the audio while playing is using the digital hdmi speakers of my monitor. Thanks for taking your time to read this and help me out, much appreciated.

Congratz on your new 1080, hope you enjoy it. Maybe ( a big maybe ) hot air is building up around the card? try using another exhaust fan up top. Personally, 79c is a bit too hot but it wont drastically change your gaming experience.

I respect your opinion however, hyper-threading does help with idling by scheduling the task, heck even watch Linus's video about it. Again they're not the same however they both make their respective environment more efficient.

Sure, then explain how they both (in their own way) dont do that.

It isn't the same however they both in their own way keep the cores busy whenever they can and try to eliminate idle time.

Isn't Async compute pretty much like hyper-threading?, in which each queue can submit commands without waiting for other task to complete.

If anything, the i5-8600k will have that score or even more(1200ish), if we assume same ipc as Skylake, 208cb single core(when clocked at 4.8ghz) X6 cores = 1248cb, we should just wait for the 5th.

As people already pointed out 4gb is still 4gb, faster yes but still.

Isnt HBM a form of vram?

I personally wouldn't invest in a 4gb vram card, rather have fewer fps and not suffer stuttering due memory swapping or having to turn down textures all the way down to normal.
