I was at Fry's Electronics in Fremont, CA the other night just before closing asking if they had any 1080's (they did not) and I saw somebody walking around with a EVGA 1070 in their hands

EdEddnEddy posted:Could you possibly buy that FE and "Downgrade" To an ACX 3.0 Card? Lol You can't 'step up' (or down, in this case) to a card in the same tier. It has to be something like a 950-970>980* or a 9x0>10x0. So no going from a base 10x0 to a 10x0 FTW or Classified.

None of the high end skus are available to step up to anyways. These are the 1080 options: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FOUNDERS EDITION (08G-P4-6180-KR) (PDF) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 (08G-P4-6181-KR) (PDF) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 (08G-P4-5180-KR) (PDF)

If the EVGA is better I'll just refuse the delivery Monday and wait some more.... honestly the difference is probably negligible, but i prefer evga just because of their US based customer service and easy RMA policy

While I'm sure returning your card will make someone else very happy, no... unless the G1's are plain broken there's no way I'd consider refusing it.

The Gigabyte one should be fine, both of those cards have good coolers and enough power to boost the GPU as far as it can go. I'd lean towards the EVGA but that is just because I like the look more and I have had great experiences with EVGA's customer service in the past but never owned Gigabyte's stuff.

This is a dumb topic to have in the GPU thread BUT if Cortana can't even launch Edge straight into a google/bing search then whats the point. Also talking to technology is still dumb. Windows 10 is bad. e: back on topic at this rate I might as well cancel my pre-order and just buy a card in the US when I visit in September.

Or just sell them directly to the scalpers. Maybe detect who is running a script and just give them the card ahead of time and tell everyone it's sold out so they can move on and not get their hopes up, heh. This time they sold out within 1 minute. It was that strange gigabyte with the overlapping fans. I guess it was 100 cards.

I'm finding it weird consumers are getting cards before reviews are out (specifically the G1), while ones like the MSI Gaming 1070 (which I havent even seen for sale) have been out since the 10th. You could probably get a shitload of views by posting a "review" right now if you cared

I stepped up from a 970SC ACX2 to a 970SSC ACX2+ when those came out.

It's the solution that requires the least maintenance, which is very important once you have thousands of SKUs in stock.

I've been searching around looking for answers to this but not really turning anything useful up so I figured I'd try here: Does anyone have experience running two different model video cards to run multiple monitors on a gaming system in Windows that can provide advice on whether it's a good idea and/or any troubles that might pop up? I've got three monitors hooked up, a 4K main monitor, and both a 1440 and 1080 secondary monitors. Just upgraded to a GTX 1080 because the 980 it replaced was struggling a bit gaming at 4K. I've noticed that even sitting idle, the 1080 has to clock itself up to 1151MHz (and a ~50C temp) when it's got 3 heads attached to it. If I disable the two secondary monitors it drops back down to a reasonable idle. That makes me think if it's burning up that much horsepower just sitting idle with 3 monitors, I'm probably taking a significant hit with gaming unless I disable my secondary monitors every time I want to play something (and that defeats the purpose of even having secondary monitors). I'm thinking I want to stick the 980 back in to run alongside the 1080, and dedicate it solely to running the secondary monitors, leaving the 1080 just to run the 4K display, but I suspect I'll need to bump up my power supply a bit. Before I invest in a power supply, I want to know if the headaches of having such a setup is going to make it not worth it.

What you're seeing is almost certainly a driver/firmware thing related to multihead and clock selection, and not really utilization. Afterburner lets you see both clock and load I think. NVIDIA has had lots of bugs like that.

You might need to enable a setting in the BIOS on your motherboard to get it to work, that will depend on the mobo so if it does not just work out of the box take a look at settings in the BIOS.

It used to be that when there were over a hundred new posts overnight, something interesting had happened in the world of GPUs. Now it just seems to be the "complain about 1070/1080 supply constraints" thread. NVIDIA have definitely got a successful launch on their hands!

I hadn't even thought about the possibility of onboard video. Hopes were raised, only to be dashed when I discovered my mobo doesn't have an onboard video controller. I might just throw the 980 in there anyway to give things a try and if I brownout, I brownout and I'll just upgrade the power supply then. I'm more looking if there are any significant issues splitting a desktop across different cards (and specifically in a gaming setup) before I go through the hassle. It's very hard to Google for information about multi-GPU setups because nearly all the results that turn up are about SLI.

For a second I thought you meant Windows Phone Cortana which is pretty drat great. Then after applying comprehension upon the post reading process I realize that someone is using Cortana on the desktop? People do that? Windows Phone 8+ as an OS is actually really good. But last week I got a Nexus 6 and the app store alone is worth the switch. To be relevant to thread has anyone already poo poo all over WCCF's reports of Polaris 10 releasing at 1.267 GHz but supposedly doing 1.4+ overclocks easily on air?

Got my EK waterblock installed and let it run through the 3GB memory burner in ScannerX after some quick (no voltage) overclocking. After 45 minutes it was at 2100MHz (max 2151) and memory held stable at 5500MHz, the GPU hit a maximum of 57C (Also had IntelBurnTest running on 2600k 4.5GHz). This is +150 Offset and +550 Offset on memory for an EVGA GTX1080 SC. I'm pretty happy with this after running a GTX780 since the price drop/release of the 780ti.

You can probably get a pretty good overclock out of that processor as long as you have a decent cooler. Most games won't bottleneck on that CPU so it's probably worth hanging on to, at least until the next wave. That is, of course, unless you happen to play or want to play the games that are more CPU intensive.

They seem like the kind of game to be CPU-intensive. Will it reduce sluggishness to upgrade from an i7-3820 to an i7-6700k? I know the processor tends to be much less of a bottleneck these days, but I'm assuming it depends on the game.
