My 980ti's run at 1465 under water and I couldn't possibly give a lesser crap about power consumption. I leave the lights on all the time and don't give a damn. I leave the TV on with movies on pause, and I leave the house and don't in even look back and think, "Shoulda turned that off". Its not like I am running furmark 24/7 and counting the pennies I'd save if only those were 1070's in my rig. I have a 1050w PSU. It provides what the cards need. Only people with laptops should care about power consumption. High end GPU's always use about the same power every gen. Only the mid rangers use less.
did I say power? Well I thought I said heat. I much rather not have a 100watt lightbulb heating up my case. In your case 2 100 watt light bulbs extra heat in your case.

Nothing a little AC can't fix. I like GPU's that chug power like crazy. They are moar manly. They give my loop something to do. That's also manly.
It also never changes at the high end. The heat is the same every gen. They get more performance from the heat/power limit. It only changes if you buy the mid rangers or low end stuff like 1060/1070/1080.
 
Pascal reaching almost 3 GHz under LN2:

During the event, Greek overclocker “FireKillerGR” hit the maximum frequency on the Pascal GP106 GPU. This was in fact the highest core speed achieved on any GPU. The frequency hit was 2885 MHz and was achieved with LN2 which provided a temperature of -150 Degrees Celsius and voltage of 1.55V. The memory was clocked to 10.5 GHz and the CPU, a Core i7-6700K, was also pushed to 6 GHz on LN2.

That reminds me, who was that guy who said if a GP104 on air hit 2.4GHz he would eat his shoe?

I'm half inclined to pull my water block. 😀

If we're set on getting an EVGA card for whatever reason but don't want to install the thermal pads ourselves, can we buy it from a third party seller like Best Buy or Microcenter and then RMA it to get one with pads?
 
Very interesting video.Real GTX1070(mobile) vs desktop GTX1070.Desktop runs at 15-20% higher clock yet performance is very close(in some scenes mobile is even faster)...Imagine we have mobile version in desktop running at 2.1Ghz...I would even like that GTX1070(i hate current desktop 1070)

This is the Pascal thread, right? Where's the GTX 1040? Will we see it around April 2017? And will it have "EZ" as a suffix? LOL.

Edit Not trolling, just joking around. But seriously, I would love to be able to purchase an inexpensive entry-level card, that supported HDR, HDMI2.0, HDCP2.2, HEVC encode/decode, VP9 decode, both at 4K, etc., and an overall 4K UHD/HDR-ready primarily 2D card.

Not everybody is going to have KBL. Plenty of SKL, HSW, and even older rigs out there, running on integrated, that could use a nice little upgrade, without spending big $$$ on a "gaming-grade" video card.

I'm thinking, single-slot, passively-cooled, preferably LP-ready, for $60-70.

Well damn, I just got a 1080, after selling my 980ti. My timing sucks!!

Don't feel bad. The GPU market is hard to beat. Used to be the best value was day of release but the whole "Founders Edition" tax undid that. If you got a good deal on a 1080 around Black Friday/Cyber Monday then you did as well as anyone did.

You know there is gonna be a 1080 ti founders edition.

Are there going to be legit AIB designs for the 1080 Ti, or is NV going to keep it to itself like Titan X?
 
If I don't buy a 1080ti it's DICE's fault for making a game that runs well on a single last gen card at high res. That's not the industry way so clearly DICE has gone rogue.
 
Pascal BIOS tweaking should be landing in late december-January. [deleted]

Finally will push past the limits and remove the [inferior] stock tdp.

It is kinda pathetic that this thread and like many others on various forums is filled with 980Ti owners who spam [deleted] non stop about pascal. it is just the beginning: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=409461

Profanity isn't allowed in the technical forums, and AMD discussion isn't allowed in this subforum.

I dont think bios tweaking will help pascal.Pascal dont scalling with higher voltage at all.Maybe it will be like this:
1.150v-+2-3 turbo bins=+26-39mhz at the cost of 50w TDP🙂
So if GTX1070 max oc is 2100Mhz then after tweak we will have 2140mhz so 1.9% higher clock....at the cost of 50w TDP.

Performance will be same and card will be power hungry like GTX980TI and still slower after 980TI max oc btw

What GTX1070 need is:
GDDR5x
Full 4x GPC(not 3x)
Atleast 2048SP(in this case it will have 4xGPC)

Pretty much mobile GTX1070 with GDDR5x😀
With GDDR5x and 20480sp/4gpc it will be alot faster than current 1070 at same clock(15% minimum)

It has been 4 and 1/2 months since getting my two Pascal Titan X cards. I must say, these cards are the best cards I've ever owned.

That will most likely end when Nvidia releases their next gen Titan cards. They have so far been on a track record of exceeding expectations.
