GTX 1080ti

right

finally going to be getting a bigboy gpu  (to satisfy my epeen)

worst case scenario is that im going to get a reference card- i dont have the money to liquid cool this card(id get the evga hybrid kit,Eventually)

are reference cards(nvidia cooler ones) really that bad or loud?

id be mining using nicehashminer in the spare time

Nvidia cards aren't that great at mining, and it will wear out your card running it 100%, especially if it is indeed a reference model.

yeah haha they are pretty bad, do you have a color co-ordinated build or do you not care, if so i would just get the cheapest non-reference card

i know they arent, it would mine for approx 8-12 hours a day

i have to get it from a certain store,(i have a bunch of credit(stuff i traded in) there) and they just list the cards as gtx 1080ti , so the worst case i get a founders edition(its roulette)

just about any blower style is the same as the fe but with branding and stuff so dont go for any blowerstlye if you can afford it

[Trefonix]

I wouldn't want my $600 card running at 83 degrees for 8-12 hours a day. Each to their own though.

oh, there is no way you can see what card it is like by calling them or something

What case are you using? Is it the one in your sig? If so, don't get FE. FE should be used in confined spaces, HTPC's, small cuboids, and desktop builds.

my 980ti runs at 1450-1500mhz for longer at pretty much the same temp

Have you checked EVGA B-Stock?

Under furmark which is probably similar to mining the FE card hits about 83 degrees, at stock speeds. I fear for my 390X when it gets past 85 degrees sometimes lol

If you wanted to satisfy your epeen you could always get the titan xp, i have one . Reference design by default isnt noisy but is designed to run hot by default in keeping the GPU above 80 and below 90. When you crank up the fan to high manually thats when you really hear it.

 

You should start with using a custom fan profile.

boi a good 1080ti will beat a titan because of its overclocking capabilities.

i ever only buy full chip GPUs, overclockability is the same. For every overclock the titan xp gets it gets a larger boost than the 1080 ti for the same clocks because it has more cores. My titan x pascal i ran above 1900Mhz with the stock reference cooling and a fan profile.

and a 1080ti can go up to 2050. i take back what i said before, but im sure there are quite a few that do beat titans.
