1080 Ti Unveiled

lol i am definitely not jealous of u guys that are trying to get your 1080ti orders in.

i remember the many, many weeks of losing sleep trying to secure my 1080's. oh, how my F5 button hated me . . .

 

You probably have a beast for your needs. I'm hopefully getting an XB272-HDR. So I want one now to replace my 980 Tis, then another once the monitor comes out.

 

LOL i was like that right before the Step UP inventory went live. But missed it because of a meeting at work. Got my Request in and they shipped it in the second batch.
All in all cost it me my 1080 FTW Hybrid + $55 (To + from Shipping)

 

Crazy stuff, I missed it, I was probably taking advantage of the 2XP time in BF.

 

Here we go, afterpower mod -

Similar Graphics score to the strix at a slightly lower clock.

Obviously too early to draw solid conclusions.

 

I can't wait to toss this into my rig, now my CPU hovers int eh %70 range where my 980Ti is maxed out, I wonder if either will be maxed out in BF1. I guess I should also use Firestrike Ultra as that seems to be used more then the basic one.

 

In stock at Newegg. << That sale has expired. Still some available.

 

And out of stock/pre-order everywhere.

 

Some benches for y'all -

It shows some in stock at Newegg but they are expensive, except for Asus it looks like.

 

Wow. Well, I'll be waiting for sure.

 

That promo expired, and the entries for those cards now shows out of stock...

All I see are a couple of FEs marked way up

 

Yeah I'll fix that, but there are still some available at Newegg and also Amazon. Overpriced to me though.

 

Indeed. I want one but I don't want an $860 FE card.

 

If you guys are going to get FE's, get them from EVGA. At least they dont void the warranty if the user slaps on a waterblock or aftermarket cooler.

 

It looks like the Asus is still $699 but reviews say the stock fan sucks.

 

Not really -

This is in a Define R5.

 

There are 2 non-FE 1080ti's in stock, 2 out of stock, and 3 coming 4/25:

The founder's edition cools differently, but usually not worse.

MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Tear-Down

 

Didn't see the gigabyte before, I'm more of a fan of their mobos but it has my interest.

 

Do most MSI GPUs not use top side screws? All the ones I've worked with have had them, though they were all the bigger heavier ones.

 

I'm happy to hold out for a non founders edition, and one that's well clocked and well cooled.

 

I talk like I'd get one of these if they were lower priced, but I'm so spoiled by my current AIO cooled GPU that I'll likely end up getting one of those this time around too.

 

Yeah if I got one I would want it with the AIO. But I think when I start ordering for my next build I will go with this 1080. Price is too good and I don't plan on running past 1440.

 

That is a good price. I'm rocking a 980Ti Sea Hawk right now, and unless a competing AIO is significantly better I'll probably go with the same for 1080Ti.

 

Always try and get AIO's that include cooling for the VRAMs on the waterblock as well. I think the Gigabyte and EVGA FTW (not the founders hybrid) did that.

 

if it wasn't for the the Gigabyte Waterforce's color scheme, i would've gotten that over the EVGA Hybrid because of it's block setup.

 

Yeap! Not sure why more brands do that.

 

This guy said he saw thermal pads but didn't specify where, the Gamers Nexus tear down video showed none on the back plate, just some plastic spacers. Thne performance is quite amazing and I can't wait to get mine.

 

That MSI 1080ti Gaming X sure looks great with 40% performance improvement over the MSI 1080 Gaming X *at the same price point*.

For having only 2 cooling fans, under load it does go to and over the thermal throttling point of 72c with the Boost 3.0, which takes a bit of the edge off in long gaming sessions.

It is begging for a water cooling or Hybrid cooling model, or aftermarket upgrade to keep the temps lower for higher and constant performance under sustained load.

 

I was glad to see the 2 fan design work out and makes me think the my EVGA SC2 will have similar performance. With %40 from the 1080 I should be quite impressed coming form a 980Ti. The 24th can't come soon enough.

 

A streamer I follow has his 1080 in an NZXT sleeve with a Kraken cooler, says it works fantastic, I'm sure that would work with the Ti.

Good find. Wonder if it will work with the EVGA FE.

 

More Extreme in Every Way: The New Titan Is Here – NVIDIA TITAN Xp
https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2017/04/06/titan-xp/

"If you need all the power you can get, our new NVIDIA TITAN Xp is the card you need to have.

Introduced today, the Pascal-powered TITAN Xp pushes more cores, faster clocks, faster memory and more TFLOPS than its predecessor, the 2016 Pascal-powered TITAN X.

With the new TITAN Xp we’re delivering a card to users who demand the very best NVIDIA GPU, directly from NVIDIA and supported by NVIDIA.

Key stats:

• 12GB of GDDR5X memory running at 11.4 Gbps
• 3,840 CUDA cores running at 1.6GHz
• 12 TFLOPs of brute force

This is extreme performance for extreme users where every drop counts."

Another new NVIDIA TITAN XP??? PLEASE STOP IT! *RANT*


New nVidia Titan Xp 2.0 (Early 2017 Edition) Specs

 

Interesting, I'm glad I din't buy an earlier Titan but I think most people who drop the money on theses cards know the game.

 

I watched jayz video earlier. Pretty funny .. and accurate.

 

Agreed. There's a lot of users out there that would consider a Titan a trivial cost to have the best thing out there and will upgrade every time something new comes out.

 

I agree. If you want the best of the best, you know going in that the card you buy is obsolete the day it is released. Very limited shelf life. That's why I think the EVGA trade up program is a good idea for those that want to stay on top of the best.

In the case of Jay I think he was more embarrassed because he was building a machine for Terry Crews and wanted him to have the best of the best the day he delivered it.

 

The EVGA Elite requirements have been announced, the third is 100 posts, what a spam magnet.

100 posts!? WTF. Definitely a spam magnet. That make no sense.

Edit: Oh, it says "OR", not all three.

 

Yes the OR is key.

 

Then I fully sympathize. When you build for someone famous, especially someone who is going to be talking about their system to their fan base, you don't want to hear that someone new came out in the middle of the build.

 

especially when said build consist of a fully custom loop watercooler.

 

For sure. I mean, you could still sort of delay it if they were going to be coming soon, but if they just get announced during build and there's a wait, that would be annoying.
