Nvidia Pascal - GT / GTX10xx Owners Club [With Poll

[GreiverBlade]

Nice was one of the GTX 1070's I was looking at but bcs of stock I went with the more expensive MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X that requires a 6+8pin instead of this nice Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 that only requires a single 8pin.

you should not regret i've read a lot of mixed thought on the Giga G1 ... and i often see some who own it complaining about random things that happen, which don't happen to me and my actual card (well that and the other "countless" issues the 10XX seems to have .... why i don't get them too is beyond me ... ) 6+8 is better for stability and OC

nonetheless it was also the 1st that was in my sight and i had to switch to a little cheaper MSI Armor OC type ... which i totally not regret, the only review i've read about was mostly positive, except for the single 8pin ... nope ... not enough and the lack of backplate, but it has a rigid frontplate and a astonishingly perfect mat black PCB (well same as MSI Gaming X minus the 6pin and some component in the power-phase area... altho the solder point are there ... i wonder if i could mod that ... and get a fully functional Gaming X for 36chf less pfahahah (or loose a 478chf card in the process )

Good luck with that! Don't forget to post a video or photos of the process

naaahhhh i am a little crazy ... only ... a LITTLE.... but not that much aka: unless i win a 1070 or 1080 in a giveaway, i wont attempt to shorten or end brutally the life of my marvelous MSI GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC


thought .... soldering a 6pin on ... would tempt me hard ... ... ....... ......

ohhh i have to seek a 6pin ... now ...

Bought my 1070 back in June, it's just a standard reference version FE, just with Gigabyte branding, sadly I'm currently limited to 10.5in so it was FE or EVGA, and EVGA couldn't stay in stock, also I don't OC.

Re-ran Firestrike today, GPU is about the same (17 752), but my CPU score has gotten lower (8 712 to 6 900).

I got a "used" 1080FE last week from a 4K user that went Pascal Titan. It's not like way faster than my Maxwell Titan X, but it's less tdp and the latest gpu. *shrug* Stock gpu speeds, Heaven maxed out at 1920x1080: 110.8 FPS and then Valley maxed out: 107.5 FPS (not sure why so much higher than OP's screenshot) ah yes post 209 is a couple fps higher than mine okay my number is okay then.

You got an GTX1080 , I have a GTX1070.

Overclocked? If stock, that's kind of curious! Wait, you aren't poster of post 209. Wait, you're OP. I was confused, haha. My Maxwell Titan X throws down the exact same score as your 1070, about 90.4 fps stock.

Okay, here's +200/250 on my 1080 didn't spend a lot of time oc'ing, just gonna run stock anyway. It's only a few fps more than stock. [4790K@4.5 at the time.]

I was using MSI Gaming App OC mode

 

[xorbe]

Curiously I've tied for best minimum fps in Valley @ 46.0 fps, page 2 the poster with 116 fps avg also got 46.0 minimum. His max is 15% higher though, must be that 6-core 15M cache cpu.

I'm running 368.95 beta driver now, my score was better on 368.39.
Waiting for new driver, if it isn't much better, I might revert to 368.39.

Currently getting:

I can finally post to the forum now that The Asus GTX 1080 STRIX has finally came in since the release of the 1080... I love the card from the jump and it performs quietly and cool. I haven't OC'd it yet but its suppose to hit 2 GHz no problem.

Have anyone else boughtthe STRIX?

Me too, I'm hoping along with the latency fix that it will include general improvements overall to Pascal and Fast Sync, I haven't noticed any latency issues myself, but I haven't checked.

 

[xorbe]

Yeah I tried Doom, Crysis, BL:TPS, FC:BD, MC, and TF2 so far. I didn't notice any problems using 368.95 hotfix so far. Ignorance is bliss, if I don't see a problem, not gonna look under the hood with LatencyMon, heh. I do use 'prefer max perf' and have the cpu min state at 100% when gaming though, I bet that saves a lot of headaches.

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine session on busy streets stressing both CPU and GPU, am i good?

 

[F-Zero]

I tried overclocking my G1 and it went great ! I think i could get a little bit more out of her but no time right now
I don't get why my physics score is lower than usual. I usually get around 12800~ now barely 12000. Anyone got an idea ?

I also have noticed that the scrolling of webpages is much better with 368.39, at least in chrome, I have turned off hardware acceleration.
With any newer drivers the images on the webpages are tearing sometimes.

funny ... another issue that i don't have (368.81) and using Chrome with hardware acceleration on. Although since it's you ... i would not even insinuate that the issue is "PEBCAK" related after all nvidia is notoriously known to have "Sh!tty" drivers (and more than "once in a while" )

i only got once a tearing issue ... on Skyrim ... i wonder why tho ... it also disapeared on later play

PS: Fast Sync = garbage meant to be off by default ...

Strange fan rpm on-off spikes you have.

Haven't tried fast sync yet.

don't ....

it's the root of all the issues with the 10XX series ... (that and users ... sometime .... or ... all the time ... )

I thought about adjusting my power settings, but eh, it seems to be working right now.

Looks a lot better than some, could be lower and more even.

Seems like they had this same problem a few drivers ago, but I think it was with Chrome and Steam.

It could use some improvements, seems better than Adaptive, also seems to me to work better with older titles than with newer ones. (Ex. Witcher 2 vs Witcher 3)

Hopefully the next driver will improve upon it, maybe why they've been holding off on Maxwell and lower getting the update, that or money.

well, improvement would be welcome if it would work as intended i reckon.

since all the user that had issues, used it while me who had no issues at all since the 1st install (and 1st 10XX driver) don't use it and most on geforces forum reported FastSync be the root of all issues: it's a garbage for now ... (that, Gsync and Freesync .... never found a use for it .... altho unlike FastSync the 2 later are somewhat interesting albeit Gsync costing a premium )

i realise Vsync add a lot of latency and backpressure

maybe why they've been holding off on Maxwell and lower getting the update, that or money.

well Pascal is no different than Maxwell in the end ... it pains me to say it but Pascal is Maxwell 1.5 (although i am still happy of my 1070 )

Seems like they had this same problem a few drivers ago, but I think it was with Chrome and Steam.

which make me wonder why i never had any issue, beside the one time with Skyrim, with any drivers since the beginning. (though i reckon my DPC Latency could be lower but still in the "green", 1500ish at max but not very often )

I tried to use fastsync combined with rtss framelimiter and the weird stutter was minimized in Fallout 4

Strange fan rpm on-off spikes you have.

It was just a short session of Witcher 3 in the market area, that's why fan was turning on and off and not completely at the stage where it needs to be at continuously spinning

Looks a lot better than some, could be lower and more even.

Yeah, ive seen others who has massive latency or spikes even on idle, i wonder if it's something else on their system that is causing it. Also the larger spikes in the end was during an alt+tab and screencap.

Also reinstalled GTA5, dunno might continue playing it soon, set on very high settings, my GPU usage were not being maximized that much (60FPS lock) at 1080p but CPU is getting hammered at 100% usage heh (causing framedrops). I wonder what settings are CPU bound that causing it to ramp that high

well in Skyrim i use ENB limiter (to 59) but i never used FastSync... maybe i will give a shot (once my main rig is not on standby anymore ... HECK day without it, because of a failed delivery of 3 meter tubing and bits, and i feel like a starved junkie without a fix ... even if i still have my Alpha ... )
