Think some of this is sort of dumb since we still have GP100 left for the GeForce lineup. I hate buying midrange so I just don't. Not since we started this shtt with TITANs. Last midrange I've purchased was a 690. But they can milk us well.

NVIDIA's fear for AMD Radeon Vega seems to have never subsided because aside from the recently released Titan Xp, the world's GPU chips-maker is reportedly launching Volta-based GPUs in the third quarter of 2017, the new architecture. These new GPUs are expected to be the next-gen GeForce GTX 2080 series which was originally planned to be released in 2018.

Poor market conditions are reportedly the main reason why NVIDIA decided to release the next-gen GPUs based on Volta architecture. Aside from the fact that hardware sales decline and price war have eaten its margin for the first quarter of 2017, the upcoming AMD Radeon Vega GPU is also said to be a factor on the company's revision of plans, Game Debate reported.

I'm no expert on caps by any means, but I would think at stock settings the card would still work fine.

It still artifacts at stock. But even if it didn't, that would not be acceptable (unless of course I'd bought it from a scrutinizing a-hole company like Newegg).

No doubt. I had to order my DDR4 from newegg and it was the holdup for the entire build.

I also had to get the cryorig cooler from there for the media server. Bit of a pain to mount on 115x, but definitely a good cooler.

I also replaced my raystorm CPU block with the heatkiller IV pro. So, if anyone is interested in using a raystorm block, I'll probably just give it away.

I haven't ordered parts from Newegg in a while.

Have they gone downhill?

Edit: which brand of 1080tis did you order?

They have been shtt for about 5yrs now.

1. Terrible customer service
2. Overpriced compared to other outlets.
3. High S/H charges
4. Ridiculous shipping times
5. The worst return policy on the plant
6. Restocking fee of like 15%. So expensive items cost you shtt ton to restock. Even though it is the same size as another gpu that might be half the cost. It makes no sense.

To wait for my bare die kit to come in to setup my loop, or frick it and do it tomorrow when I get everything from you and ilikelsu?

I ordered my bare die kit on Tuesday, but it's shipping from Europe (only place I could order it). I would just delid and frick it, but I don't have any liquid ultra for my die and IHS

With some overclocks.





CPU is at 5.1 right now, 3.344v. Still haven't honed it in, but good to know it'll break 5.0 without much trouble.

I heard we had someone running all over the state today picking up water cooling parts.

Are your cards at 2200 or can't hit that until blocks? I've never run my TITAN Pascals without blocks so not sure what the upper limit is on air.

Edt: Software needs to catch up. We really have no reason for upgrading coming up. But it is a pendulum. It swings to hard advantage then software advantage every few years.

Got blocks on them yesterday. I don't think 2200 is typical. Based on what I'm reading on OCN, good cards will hit 2100. Mine do 2050. Haven't messed with a custom bios yet though. Voltage limited to 1.093 right now.

I'm replacing one of these alphacool ST30 360s with an EK coolstream EX 480 this week.

I hit 2150 on them in game but run at 2100 because it isn't the most stable.

Just thought the 1080 Tis hit 2200.

Oh damn. Serious? 2100 was soo easy to achieve I thought it was the norm. I don't venture far into the forums anymore. Don't run pass 2150 because it is a little unstable with demanding titles.

You are making me get out of bed to check my max voltage.

I thought my max voltage was 1.12mV. WTF is wrong with me. It just shows you how much attention I pay to this shtt now. I used to now limits like it was spelling my name.

Believe this is a typo. If not we will call the fire department. Your house is in flames.

2100 is pretty much it for 1080 tis,with or without water. I haven't tried overclocking mine individually though to see if either will hit 2100.

I also never do that.

If it's the main rig, I'm running something in SLi. So what is the point? Sure you feel the same.
