Nvidia Pascal - GT / GTX10xx Owners Club [With Poll

[FireFox]

so i guess it only affect GDDR5 and not GDDR5X (oh well ... ) which is totally weird ... the chip ridden with issues should be the GDDR5X ... and not the GDDR5 from Micron ... that's a shame for Micron that they have issue with proven chips and not with ... new one

What is this bug about?

OC'ability if i recall correctly, i didn't bother to check more on it since my card had Samsung chips.

The micron vram was causing artifacts , even at stock speeds:

oohhh that's rude ... having artifact without pushing it too far ... is not fair at all

 

[Vayra86]

me neither ...

P4-630's Gaming X is also a Samsung vRAM Vayra86 has a Micron 1070 (though doesn't seems to suffer from any issue, but i might be wrong, oh wait ... BIOS patched mmhhh well still seems to be less than samsung type)

nonetheless Micron is generic to the 1080, after all, all GDDR5X are Micron (so are the FE too, woops ... argument voided )

My memory OC is heavily limited, so I am still considering to return this card to seller, I am still within my 'try out' period so I can return with no charge and full refund, just shipping cost.

Anything over 8600mhz (2152mhz memclock in GPUZ) on the GDDR5 and I get crashes. I see Samsung memory go as high as 9000mhz so that's pretty significant..

In addition there is a hotspot issue with the 1080 FTWs and the 1070's have a similar cooling solution - the issue is not confirmed by EVGA on the 1070's but still, I have little faith in long term stability. VRMs can hit 100C and this heat radiates to the GDDR5 which is rated up to 95 C. Not good, but my card does have a very nice core clock and very low temps.

So chances are I have a lottery winner Core on a 'meh' PCB with 'meh' Micron GDDR5. Such a waste.... Either way Im not settling for a sub par card at this price point so they can suck it if they won't fix this fast. The new BIOS doesn't let me clock past 8600 either.

If there will be any 1080TI and it's worth i sell mine, with that i am not saying that my GPU doesn't performance great.

Let's see what surprise Nvidia have for us.

Why not upload full screenshots?
That way we can see your GPU clocks and temps.

Oops Re ran the bench to submit then

My 24/7 settings... gonna stick to this for now, any higher will take fan noise and probably also some stability. Fun fact, I get better bench scores with +75 voltage than with +100%. Even with +100 I almost never see 1.093v, only when the GPU is below 45 C. Fan profile is very aggressive... and I still can't hear a thing Also, note the Util PerfCap. No VRel here

So I guess you'll be keeping that card now?
That core OC's fine and it runs cool as you say.

You'll never know what you get next if you choose to send it back.

 

[newconroer]

I have decided not to check anymore what my GPU does otherwise i would become paranoid, there's always something new with this cards, till my GPU is boosting to 2126MHz and temperatures are 60c everything is ok, 1070 and 1080 series are just weird cards.

so did you find out that it doesn't hold the overclock full time?

Doom runs crazy style at 120fps/120hz 1440p at stock clocks.
I had OpenGL at first so I could use RTSS overlay but then went to Vulkan and turned everything to maximum including 8x AA.

Very glad I chose the 1080 over the 1070.

 

[FireFox]

That's right, it downclock to 2111, still good enough, if i want that hold 2128 i need to set the Gpu clock offset to +140, Voltage 50% and Power target 110

Would the majority of you suggest that a i5-6500 would be bottlenecking a GTX1080 FE at stock? I just can seem to get solid benchmark scores this damn card is performing below 980Ti and 1070s with higher clocked 6700K chips. Think its worth upgrading to release the performance of this card? Wait for Kaby Lake perhaps? If im honest i used to pay attention more and these days im just so focused on storage for work i kinda lost track of the enthusiast scene. @P4-630

Personally I wouldn't run a i5 6500 if I had a GTX1080, CPU bottleneck?
Not sure about it, have to google that or find it on youtube.

@AthlonX2 what is your average GPU load during gaming?
If it goes up to 99% while playing at 4K resolution and there is no stutter, it should be fine.

If the GPU load doesn't reach 99% (or rarely) during gameplay at 4K and playing at higher settings then your CPU is a bottleneck.
I didn't hear you about stuttering.

 

[avatar_raq]

I was first thinking about upgrading my CPU next year (i7 6700k or the like),
but since I know now that if you have a larger resolution screen , more pixels means less work for the CPU right?

That's a good read. So basically CPU doesn't matter at 4K as most of the work is on the GPU? Alas the new driver gave me 113 extra points in Valley

I have MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X with micron vram and since 1 week and i haven't any issues yet. I can overclock up to 2126mhz and 2ghz@0.95v-1v. I'm happy because it always stay on 35%fan speed at 800-1000rpm and i can't even hear fans

I keep mine.

Seems the micron issue is spotty at best. I had no issues with my 1070, but it wasnt enough card for my use so i ended with the 1080. What do you get in Timespy with your 6700 and 1070?

 

[Vayra86]

Yeah I'll keep it - the issues with the hot spot are on the 1080 (mostly) and I've got 3 year warranty while the issues popped up for people within a few months of use. So I'm pretty safe I'd say... I also never ever see 70 C on my core temp, so I doubt I have hot VRMs.

I also like seeing my CPU load consistently higher than GPU load in more than 3/4 of my games... at 120fps

 

[Athlon2K15]

Interesting to see the 1070 and 1080s seem to clock to the same area. I was able to get 2140 on the 1080 core pretty easy. Havent tried any further yet.

It's the same die with a different TDP target to match the missing cluster. Makes sense to me

The 1070 is a much neater cut of the die than 970 was

 

[Athlon2K15]

@P4-630 I bit the bullet and bought a 6700K. ill get to see for myself the overall performance increase. if anyone is wanting a i5 6500 ill have mine for sale soon

 

[FreedomEclipse]

@P4-630

Is it possible to get a poll going to find out how many people have 1080s vs 1070s? Id be interested to know how many cheaped out and bought a 1070 and just OC'd it to 1080 performance or close to it.

 

[GreiverBlade]

well i got a 1070 but didn't OC it more than factory OC as it's not needed at all for now (well ... 1080p ... later maybe, tho i doubt a 1440p would need a 1080 performances level ... and 4K is not my thing either )

although i did choose it after seeing OC result of many 1070 custom versus 1080 results (and maybe probably because the Zip code of my hometown is exactly the number of cuda core on that GPU ... )

edit... well nope my actual zipcode is 1911 ... that's 9 cuda core less
