I set shadows to low and my FPS dropped below 60fps on some occasions with EVERY setting on low. I have a picture of me statically standing in front of diamond city and getting this:
Also, if you don't mind, would you provide me with your system's specs? And the framerate/GPU utilization in Diamond city and Corvega plant (the moment you fast travel there).

GPU utilization complaints everywhere. And don't you dare bring up the word "CPU" because Skylake i7 6770k users with DDR4 RAM and reporting similar issues.

These cards are non-existent in Canada, even at 1000$ CAD

Managed to get lucky on Monday and got a FTW (in Canada via Newegg) and it shipped Monday and Purolator hasn't updated the tracking info and now has no ETA for delivery. Oh the joys of Canadian shipping.
Mike's has a few MSI Gaming X in stock. It's where I picked up my card a month ago and had no issues.

Wow. I can get 100fps+ with everything cranked up in Dying light, even with PCCS on. That option was locked from the stupid ini file that I had to edit; it sucks to know that I beat the game with those damn dark, sharp vanilla shadows.
I had a funny glitch with MSI OSD. The core clock was stuck at 680MHz but I was getting 144fps in BF4 with ultra/MSAAx4. I should have taken a screen picture and troll people with it.

Yeah, NCIX has that model as well, but I'd hate myself if I buy that one knowing that Z version of that card (higher overclock) sells for less at newegg.ca and might comeback in stock any moment.

Install Latencymon if you want to check whether you have the DPC latency issue.

. I overclocked my G1 to mediocre speeds - around 2100 boost and 10500 on memory - and I wondered if I'm being limited by the power delivery.
Does just one 8pin provide less power than, say, the Gaming X which has an 8 and a 6? They were both the same price in the store I went to

2,1ghz certainly isn't mediocre if the card can hold it stable during gaming. And no, Pascal doesn't really seem to profit from extra power delivery so don't worry.

I am starting to mess around with Voltage percentage in Afterburner. I have it at 85% right now; I should leave it at 100% right? It should be safe I think. I didn't adjust the voltage frequency graph thing, and it seems to keep voltage at 1.075V. I will try to make the card hit higher voltages right at 2000Mhz and see if I can hold 2100Mhz in the Witcher 3 without crashes.
I honestly don't give a damn. The FTW by default easily boosts to 1987-2000MHz. I just had few games that are more sensitive to the overclock; I kinda dropped down to 60MHz+ offset? Probably lower too after some driver crashes; I think I can keep those earlier offsets with 100% voltage and a proper curve.

Wow, that's pretty serious. I've built my PC for low latency because I dabble in music production, so this driver bug pretty much kills that possibility for me until it's fixed. Luckily, a fix seems to be on the way in an upcoming driver, as the root cause of the problem has been identified.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Honestly this is the first card I've ever owned that hasn't been a disaster in the silicon lottery. OC potential has been consistently dreadful. This however manages to sit core 2000+ MHz so far without any issues, including The Witcher 3 where I normally have heaps.
Haven't touched the RAM yet though.

That is pretty great to hear. Are you achieving a near 60 in TW3 1440p modded? What about unmodded?

The card is boosting its clocks automatically, you don't have to do anything. With 1847MHz rated boost you are likely running at ~1900-2000MHz already.
If you want to manually overclock even higher then you'll have to learn how to use MSI Afterburner.

Here's my 980 Ti comparison numbers from earlier, but not @2000+ MHz.
Witcher 3 location was just near the Skellige druid camp looking into the forest, which I find is one of if not the most taxing viewpoints in the game. But that's open world games for you, and framerates are crazy variant depending on what I'm looking at.
Not sure what my unmodded numbers in that location would be, but shouldn't be far off 60fps.
The boost occurs when I am playing a game ?

Yes, unless the said game is limited by something else (CPU for example) in which case it may run even on the lowest power tier (~135MHz in case of 980Ti, not sure how low it will be on 1080).
Thanks mate

Gigabyte Windforce $629 at newegg, this isn't the G1 version but it'll most likely overclock as good.

Or if the game has a FPS lock and is not very hard to render. The most extreme example are some 2D games I've tried, in which my 1080 happily sits at ~250 MHz (while spitting out 60 FPS of course).

Yay got my FTW just in time to move across the country tomorrow. Talk about tight timing. Really excited to give it a whirl next week once everything has arrived.

Are you by any chance running the game in borderless windowed mode? I tried using the low preset at 1080p and the results are as follows (using i7 3770K at 4.2GHz, DDR3 2400MHz and an overclocked gtx 1080):
Right after traveling to Diamond City:
36 fps and 24-25% GPU load using borderless windowed mode.
104 fps and 58% GPU load using fullscreen mode.
Right after loading Corvega Plant
36-48 fps and 22-26% load in borderless windowed mode.
137 fps and 57% GPU load using fullscreen mode.
I get 68fps and 93% GPU load while using the ultra preset in Fullscreen in Diamond City and 95fps and 75% GPU load after loading Corvega Plant. With my preferred settings at 1440p fullscreened, I get 61fps and 99% GPU load in Diamond City and 64 fps and 99% in Corvega Plant. I actually didn't expect this game to max out my GPU at only about 60fps but there ya go.
Results may vary slightly based on companion and weapon used.
It's actually great that you brought this issue up because I was using borderless windowed mode and the frame rate straight up sucked. I don't know of any game that has this drastic of a difference between fullscreen and windowed mode. Usually it only causes increased GPU load. Perhaps some program is taking priority over the game when using borderless windowed mode.
Hmm, when I think about it, this game must have doubled buffered v-sync enabled when using borderless windowed mode, doesn't it? I have a 144Hz monitor which would explain why the frame rate runs at 36 or 48 fps. It's still strange that I don't hit 72 fps since I can do higher than that in fullscreen mode.

Ok, so I am officially weak, after considering a 1070 for the longest time I've decided to go with a 1080 instead. I've found a good price on an MSI 1080 Armor OC, but can't find any reviews of it. Does anyone have any experience with the card itself or MSI in general?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Funny I am debating whether buy this one or the MSI Gaming X variant, the Gaming Z variant is no where to be found.
DPC fix is out in form of a hotfix driver

Edit: Ninja'd. Holy fuck.
I will report back if it fixed the Fallout 4 issue.
I think I tried messing around with Borderless and fullscreen; the latter causes input lag and stuttering. I am fairly certain that I turned borderless off via the ini files.
Edit AGAIN: Fallout 4 still runs like shit. So it is the fucking stupid game engine after all. I will uninstall all mods or freaking do a fresh install of the game. I also tested the game on Windowed and Windowed borderless--both ran like shit. I am uninstalling all the mods.
The edit of all edits, and the conclusion of this epic journey of bitching on forums: It was a mod that caused the problem. Now I have to freaking install them back and try to determine which one of those dumb mods caused this fiasco. I fixed my GPU by mistake thanks to that piece of shit modder.

So I grabbed this from microcenter. But what they gave me is different than what's listed. 3 fans instead of the pictured two and two 8 pin connectors instead of the listed one. Had to get a new psu. Also it's huge, 13 plus inches I think?

You got the better one, consider yourself lucky if it works for your case.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The Witcher 3 with tweaks is still one of the most demanding games out there, but it puts a lot of stress on the CPU and the engine really isn't built with optimization in mind for the tweaks that push it beyond standard limits, so it's likely you'll see some stuttering.
Battlefront seems to be a game that isn't too taxing on the CPU but does a great job of giving your GPU a workout. It's across the board on modern effects, has impressive texture resolution and scene density, and the resolution scaler lets you continue stressing the GPU even when Ultra isn't a problem. On my 1080 I can play Battlefront maxed out (no AA) at 1440p with 130% and still hit 60+fps. From memory 150% @ 1440p is technical 4K.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is also a decent stress test as, like Battlefront, it's pushing a lot of modern effects. Downside is it seems to have some optimization issues and my guts say as Frostbite's first true "open world game" it's got some CPU bound issues that Battlefront does not.

So I just got in a FTW and a Strix OC. I am currently on a 670 FTW, but haven't owned any ASUS cards. Does anybody know of any comparisons between the two? Not sure which to keep and which to sell to my friend, and I don't want to be a jerk and open both.

The Strix is slightly faster out of the box. Both cards have the same overclock potential but the only way to know how high individual cards clock is to benchmark them. Honestly, I would pick the one you think looks better.
