Posted May 22, 2016 Everyone needs to see this video: The boost clock enables the cards to pull out bigger numbers in reviews and benchmarks that use open case systems at which the boost clock can be maintained. However, when tested inside an actual PC case, the GPU rises to 85 degrees within just 5 minutes of gaming, causing the GPU clock to deactivate its boost and throttle down to 1607 Mhz. ******** THIS ACTUALLY MAKES THE GTX 1080 FOUNDERS EDITION AROUND 10% SLOWER THAN A FACTORY OVERCLOCKED 980 Ti AT 1440p ******** Linus is my fetish.

Probably the same saps who are going to run out and be price gouged by the Founder's Edition next week. Let's see how Windforce and ACX 2.0 versions of the 1080 perform before writing the whole thing off as a thermal disaster. We both knew that the actual lab test benchmarks would be less impressive than NVIDIA's apparent "plug in an air-cooled 1080, throw the CPU in a vat of liquid nitrogen then show off the overclock temps" demo was I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Posted May 22, 2016 The fan curve out the box is a POS from my understanding. Simply boosting the power limit, temp target and/or sorting out the fan curve fixes it. Also, the founder's cooler is "a lot quieter, believe it or not, than the 980Ti and the Titan X at 80%, than these [980ti and Titan X] were at 50%" so higher fan speeds aren't going to be throwing up a load of noise.

Posted May 22, 2016 Doubt many care about this to be honest. Reference coolers are terrible. Only reason to even get a founder's edition is if you want to rip that thing apart and put a water cooler on it For the rest who plan to buy these, we'll get the custom coolers, that mind you, also cost a lot less..

They're better in the sense that it throws the hot air our the arse end of the case. So it helps with ambient temps inside a pc case, but it's worse for cooling the GPU itself, than a non-reference cooler.

I was not surprised since the 1080 did seem to be too good to be true. especially at that price point. which is total bullshit since it's only 600$ in the us. everywhere else it's more like 800-900$.

Posted May 22, 2016 that was to be expected. and if you look at reviews like PCPer and Tom's Hardware then they too show how the 1080 gradually lowers the clock from 2000+ to 1700 in just 60 seconds of the test.

Well, my Classified is probably the worst overclocker I've owned to date, so if I can overclock the 1080 at all, it'll be a more significant upgrade. I have +25MHz on my Classy with +50mV. Anything higher is unstable. if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
