You got the ~Kwizatz Haderach~ card. Inform SCP (or the Bilderberg folks) immediately as it may be able to solve the world energy crisis, and we can't have that while there's still oil to be burned. :v:

Well GPU-Z was saying my GPU (chip only) was pulling ~130w at the time, so it was like 0.000061 amps :v:

My Titan XP can reach 11108 MHz effective speed, giving it an effective mentoring bandwidth of 533.18 GB/s. [H] overclocked their 1080 Ti to 12000 MHz, giving it an effective bandwidth of 528 GB/s.

I have both of my titans running at 13000 mhz effective on the memory.

So the second 1080ti has appeared on the timespy hall of fame. Seems Kingpin got his hands on one and managed to take the top spot with a 2481 core clock and 6210 on the memory. This was cooled using LN2 though, and paired with a 6950x at 5.1 ghz, also under LN2

Not sure what to make of this data yet. It's still early to draw any conclusions. On the one hand I think it's amazing he managed to get the card to almost 2.5 ghz. On the other, it took a boost that big to beat out his previous score with a titan, and he didn't beat it by much. I can't remember the exact titan score but it's within a few hundred points I think.

Here's his detailed run: http://www.3dmark.com/spy/1359386

The only thing to do I suppose is wait and see until more benchmarks start trickling in. It's hard to draw any conclusions with only two examples, especially with one being under LN2.

[edit] Found this guy over on [H] who has also received his ti. He's reporting a max oc of around 2 ghz GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

Here's his Firestrike Extreme score: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/11964735

The 1080ti is Titan-lite with a much nicer price tag. If you already have a titan then there's probably not much reason to get one

Titans aren't allowed 3rd party custom pcb's or other nice things like more/better power phases.

Micron does rare the memory for 13000MHz, so you are getting pretty close to its maximum. I guess it won't be sunshine and rainbows for every Ti user.

Man I thought overclocking GPU's was safe and foolproof. You overclock more and more until it fails then back off a bit. I've never seen a GPU fail an overclock it didn't just reset it's self from.

Also, I was surprised the 1080 Ti didn't come with HDMI 2.1

nVidia is avoiding any specification which includes variable refresh, to keep g-sync going as long as possible. See also: DisplayPort 1.4

Still waiting for my $99 upgrade to ICX so i can spend another $20 and upgrade to 1080ti. (plus shipping) not a bad price to upgrade.

Paid about $500 for my 1080 SC originally so will have spent $620 for my 1080ti effectively.

I'm confused about DSR.

I play on a 1080p TV predominantly. The DSR would shoot a higher resolution to my 1080p TV that looks significantly better than the native 1080p res?

DSR renders at higher res and downscales to 1080p. It's supersampling for games that don't natively support it. Benefit is antialiasing plus for various reasons games look better at higher res and you get partial benefit.

Also note that DSR will make UI smaller. For example, if you DSR to 4k your UI will be four times smaller.

DSR won't, but many games will. Some/many games draw HUDs based on pixels instead of percentages.

I bought a Zotac 1080 because it was the first open air cooler card in stock when the 1080 launched and it's the worst "premium" product I've owned in a long time. It's still a 1080 and not functionally broken or anything, but the fans were a combination of being both the loudest things in my case and also cooled extremely poorly. I replaced them with some Dell branded fans I had in my box of salvaged fans that dropped temperatures by over 20 degrees while also making a lot less noise. It's still a perfectly functional 1080, but I wouldn't base impressions of modern GPU open air cooler noise, overclocking, and temperatures on that card.

(Why didn't I just return it? I'd been refreshing for weeks and finally found one, it was months before open air cooler cards started getting regular availability)

Watching these used 1080 prices drop makes me want to pick up a second one for SLI.

Right up until the saner part of my brain points out that, outside TW3 w/HairWorks on, nothing I play can't be pushed over 80FPS by a single 1080 already, and I'm waiting for rev 2 of the Rift before I bother diving into that particular pool, and I'd probably be tempted to throw another G10+AIO on it but don't really know where I'd mount yet another rad...

...but I still want to. Just because.

Its just like the best form of anti aliasing, which is one of the more noticeable effects in a game particularly on a large 1080p screen. However dont expect mountains to shift or anything, 1080p will always be 1080p

1080 Ti's in-hand are going for $900-1100 on eBay, with "I preordered this and will ship it to you when I get it" going for $800-1000

I'm still tripping over the fact my 1070 sold for $360 when a brand new one with game was $390 on the same day. I felt a little bad for that guy. Oh and I bought a 1080 locally (same brand and model line even) for $400 today lol.

I still say setting up a Custom Resolution gives better results than DSR, which can make things blurry due to the forced smoothing effect.

Why not order a superior Titan XP for only $1200 if you're already spending $1100 on an inferior product? Plus the eventual EVGA 1080 Ti hybrid kit will fit on the Titan XP.

If you had problems playing YouTube videos with a 970 you may have other issues with your PC

even speedwagon was trolled
I have problems running youtube sometimes with a 1070. By that I mean chrome sometimes decides to lock up and then any youtube videos that were playing have a green screen when it fixes itself. Usually happens if I changed to another tab without videos and change back to the tab with the youtube video after it's been playing for awhile.

It happens rarely though so I haven't bothered looking into it. Probably some busted thing with chrome/some add-on in chrome.

Not really, but if I had 3 YouTube windows up (multiple monitors) or running some 4k video, the GUI might skip a tiny bit. Now it's as smooth as butter

1080ti wouldn't be limited by a 1440p@144 monitor would it? My 1080 gets ~100 FPS now, and I really feel like the 1080 - 1080Ti difference is just not worth it.

Same. I bought my 1080 recently and I got it pricematched to $489 from MicroCenter, so buying a $750 GPU for a barely noticeable 15 extra frames just ain't worth it.
