Ryan has finally finished his 1080/1070 review: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 & GTX 1070 Founders Editions Review: Kicking Off the FinFET Generation
Wait, what is DPC latency and how does it manifest itself in Fallout 4? I played it a couple of days ago using a gtx 1080 and I didn't notice anything odd.
Apparently, in Fallout 4, lowering shadow draw distance to medium drastically increases GPU utilization by reducing draw calls (thus alleviating a CPU bottleneck). Skyrim had a similar issue although not as severe.
what issues? I haven't updated to the latest drivers yet
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.These cards are non-existent in Canada, even at 1000$ CAD
The waiting game continues
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.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.
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

Install Latencymon if you want to check whether you have the DPC latency issue.
Congrats!! What's first in the queue?
finally !
OC potential seems to rely entirely on silicon lottery now.
Shouldn't AIB cards be cheaper than Founder's Edition?
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.
How do I boost the clockspeed?
This is my graphics card clockspeed
GPU Clockspeed :1847 Mhz (boost)/1708 Mhz (base)
That is pretty great to hear. Are you achieving a near 60 in TW3 1440p modded? What about unmodded?
Not sure if anybody gives a shit, but here's some early, rough comparisons between my 980 Ti and my 1080. I booted up each game with a single pre-planned vista to monitor the framerate.
Each game is running at 1440p on a 144Hz Gsync.
i7 6700K @ 4.6 GHz
16GB DDR4
Specific game and card details below.
MSI 980 Ti
Core: 1316 MHz
Memory: 3506 MHz
Gainward Phoenix 1080
Core: (up to) 1911 MHz
Memory: 5006 MHz
---------------------------------------------------
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
All settings maxed out, no AA, Hairworks ultra, tweaks to increase draw distance/rendering quality beyond maximum
980ti: 35 fps
1080: 46 fps
Rise of the Tomb Raider
All settings maxed out, no AA, VXAO, PureHair very high
980ti: 45 fps
1080: 59 fps
Mirror's Edge Catalyst:
All settings hyper, Res scale 100%
980ti: 63 fps
1080: 77 fps
Star Wars: Battlefront
All settings ultra, no AA, Res scale 120%
980ti: 71 fps
1080: 85 fps
------------------------------------------------
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.
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).
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).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).
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).
http://www.overclock.net/t/1605618/nvidia-update-2-gtx-1080-1070-high-dpc-latency-and-stuttering
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.
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!
DPC fix is out in form of a hotfix driver

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.

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?
What are the best games to test? I've done TW3 and JC3. Very pleased with the results buuuut
I feel like playing OW at Epic/150% render/120fps ULMB isnt doing the card justice...
Newell has the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1080 back in stock for anyone looking for one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125869
Just ordered mine.
Gabe needs more money to fund HL3.
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.
Keep the Asus.
