It's clarified in the audio. The first chart shows the FE vs. MSI card so that you understand where the FE card matches up (aligns with MSI), because we next state that we're going to remove FE from the charts to simplify the lines. The next chart, as you should have seen, is GX vs. Xtreme.

Well, yes. It's good to know whether it's a marketing gimmick or a useful feature. Why so sarcastic? Your own reviews aren't nearly as thorough or technical.

Impressive reviews, really amazing details and presentation. Hope you get a Zotac GTX1080Ti Amp Extreme to review. Really enjoy you comparing cards on the reviews.

Wow, blown away how thorough you are. Got my sub.

same here, idk how I didn't hear about this channel sooner. this detail and care for accuracy is exactly what I crave.

I love this approach to reviews. Reputable testing methods, straight up facts and graphs, and balanced non-clickbaity opinions. Thanks!

i just cant wrap my head on how much hard work you guys actually put into these !!!! just amazing

Great review as always. Could you please make a test of VRM temperatures on a custom loop watercooled videocard. It would be interesting to see is there any difference in VRM temperatures between custom loop waterblock and aftermarker cooling solution.

Excellent review as usual. Thanks!

Hey Gamer Nexus! Are you going to review the MSI GTX 1080 ti Seahawk X?

I watch every single one of these reviews just so I can marvel in your testing.. Even hiring buildzoid was an awesome move and exposed me to a channel I also thoroughly enjoy. Keep up the amazing work

Are Zotac sending you an AMP Extreme or will you be getting your hands on one by any other means?

Great Video as per usual, keep up the good work. Will you be giving the standard Strix 1080Ti and Strix 1080Ti OC the same treatment? As these two cards have about a $50 difference too.

Where can I purchase these GN Hybrid cards? Looks like they are giving the top AIB brands a real run for their money in performance ;) I'm a huge fan of your scientific approach to testing (especially as an engineer) and essentially stop off at your site first when doing research into which components to build with. Your in depth explanations of your testing method as well is super helpful in allowing me to properly assess the data you are presenting, top notch site with top notch reviews! Keep up the great work!

as always - tremendous work you put in these reviews just to conclude that there is zero to 2% difference (because of architecture limits)... maybe next time include that dba and dba/temp charts and talk about those a bit (I looked up in your site - but come on - how many people look up anything in these days)... for example I am in market for 1080 and I get it that there is zero to none performance difference and all cards hit one overclock limit, because if nvidia - so that being out of the way I am very curious how good and silent these various coolers are (so basically I am paying only for cooler differences - not anything else if I choose nvidia Pascal - anything other is just useless "gaming" marketing).

Thanks for the testing video, I've recently sold my MSI GTX 970 and wanted to move to 1080 ti, Always watched your channel due to the level of research and since i'm about to drop £750 on a card its helped me decide I'm going to return to MSI and get the GTX 1080 ti from them. Thanks again.

We need a Strix vs Auros comparison!

This channel is so damn underrated.

Hey Steve at the beginning of the video you said that the core would have a possible 600 amps don't you mean watts?

Great Video. Every upload is a wealth of information. I'd like see the Asus ROG 1080ti with their new cooler design.

Hey Gamers Nexus! Will you review Asus Strix OC as well?

Hey Steve, it would be wonderful if you would do a teardown and review of the Zotac GTX-1080Ti AMP! Extreme.

Even though I know pretty much nothing about thermal testing I still watch these fully. Why? Because Gamersnexus is awesome and I know the info is reliable. Also, HI STEVE :)

Trogdor8freebird except the fact other reviews and benchmarks of auorus Xtreme vs msi gamer have aurous on top, but then again this guy is sponsored by msi Even on his benchmark test it doesn't mention Xtreme edition just the regular aurous so it makes me wonder if he actually tested the Xtreme edition or tried to fudge the numbers by testing a lower card. Look at the names on the benchmark tests he shows

Is your personal recommendation for 1080 Ti owners to simply make a profile on MSI Afterburner with increased power/temp target and let the card be, finding it's own natural OC, Steve?

review the zotac please ?? I know you don't like them but come on is one of the few I can actually get in my country

that graphics card alone is worth more than my current build

good work as usual

You guys got the Zotac 1080ti amp extreme on the way yet? Not sure if I should wait for it, or get the Aorus Extreme. Upgrading from a Quadro 2400m from 10 years ago, Want to be 1000% for the next 5 years.

I really appreciate you guys calling out all the marketing stunts and snake oil in these products. At the end of the day, when I'm watching your video to make an educated purchase, I want to know how much of my hard earned money is thrown at useless marketing fluffs.

best technical reviewer on the internet and you tube. This team deserves free hardware to test. unlike most sorry youtubers who review hardware. ..Got two 1080 TI gaming X coming this week

I wonder if the Gigabyt's vrm design (3 phase running through quadrupler ) impact its performance and thus a less consistent framtime in some gaming benchmark like For Honor 4K/Extreme with 48.7 0.1% low even behind Ref.

Can you re-confirm the tests with the back-plate copper sync? The GPU's PCB orientation in a test bench isn't typically the same as a case. It looks like you tested the GPU vertically vs horizontally. I'm curious to see if orientation (heat rises) will alter the effectiveness of the copper sync. Also when using the fan blow it down on the sync vs across. Directing air flow down on top is more effective than blowing across. Thx great review!

@GamersNexus

7 жыл бұрын

That will absolutely not affect the results. We tested airflow from the front and from the top. The law of heat rising will have 0 impact on the efficacy of this plate. That's effectively overridden by blasting fans at it, anyway.

please do a review about the shunt mod on these 1080ti to see whether the worse situation of 0.1% low fps after oc is because of lack of enough power available on the bios.

Honestly just grabbing the aorus for it to be able to accommodate my triple monitor set up have the extra hdmi for a streaming rig and vr and I'm just going to watercool anyway since ek announced they're making a block for it

Does the Aorus card offer any advantages because their priopritary overclocking software allows 150% tdp?

Great video

But if it´s all the same, then why go for a saggy triple slot card ? I had my eye on that aorus, but I am not so sure now...

Did Gigabyte advertise that copper Backplate Feature with any numbers, like MSI with its ssd shield did ?

could you write down the thermal pad thickness on this Gigabyte 1080 Ti Xtreme please?

Best review org.... actual substance

Great video. Had a feeling the copper plate was for looks only. That half of the backplate looks kinda lonely without it. I've been running this card for about 10 days. If anyone has a question just drop me a reply.

@Chronus8888

Nothing noticable. If I look closely I can barely tell it isn't level. The backplate on this thing is really sturdy. It probably only sags about 1/8 of an inch in total

when will we see the AIO watercooled cards?

My GPU idle at 55 degree Celsius. Is that normal ?

What's the point of "OC Mode" and "Gaming Mode?" 1746 vs 1721 means absolutely nothing when gaming. Besides that, GPU Boost 3.0 means that it's pretty much always going to be boosting higher than that anyway.

This might be a completely wastefull idea. But id love to see you connect an Evga AIO cooler to the copper backplate (or without backplate) part of the Aorus and do a thermal test with both the normal cooler and the Evga AIO running. :D heheh

Is there anywhere i can get replacement screws for this graphics card? Thnx

Forgive me if i missed this in the article, but which game(s) / syntehtics do you use when testing your overclocks ? I see so many people claiming 2025/50mhz avg boosts with their overclocks online, and it makes me wonder if they are full of BS because i know you guys are very very thorough, achieving 1987/1974Mhz average seems consistent with what i'm seeing with my card.

Good to know. I have a Gigabyte 1080 Ti Gaming OC and it's stable across a plethora of games using +105 Core +700Mem this nets a 2050 peak boost with an average of 1974Mhz once the card beds in at ~75C - hence why im changing it for a better cooling solution, but by the sounds of things (your testing) the temperature is not holding my card back, it's the silicon? (its well noisy too) Cheers guys!

Did he mention that you get an extra 1 year warranty (total of 4 years) on the Gigabyte card ?

Should i wait for VEGA or VOLTA which comes first gets my money. I won't stand waiting for VEGA anymore when VOLTA will be around

Please help me, im building my first pc and I was planning on getting this gpu for my z370 aorus gaming 5 but checking further I saw that for a little bit more I could get the rtx 2080 ti in my country..... are they both compatible??? what would be better???

The biggest advantage of the Aorus 1080 Ti Xtreme is that it has a 4 year warranty. That's pretty darn good for a card like this.

Why does gaming and OC mode boost on Newegg say 1721 and 1746 respectively but your info at the beginning shows lower numbers?

Never mind, the info you read was correct, just not the data displayed

You are bashing the AIB partner cards but not taking into account binning. Maybe your FE was a really good sample and you are underestimating the value of binning. Or maybe you are right and we are all wasting our money. I am seeing used FE cards for under $700 so you have a point about buying one and adding an aftermarket cooler. Also do you think we will see unlocked BIOS for any of these?

GREAT video as always. Good work. MSI ♥♥♥

So when is the GTX 1080 Titan Ti Gaming X coming out? (◔_◔)

I'm hoping for a cooler that is 3 slot on the front and 1 on the back so a 4 slot gpu! Only then will I be happy...

please guys, the stock ryzen coolers, please let's have a review.

These charts are so hard to read for someone who doesn't understand it completely. Too many lines clustered and abbreviations.

backplate cooling is like an insurance or airbag in a car imho. less temp peaks in the gpu solders..

get that zotac 1080 ti amp extreme on the chopping block!

While I like that in this generation of nVidia-cards you mostly get similar performance no matter which model you buy, it still takes away some of the "fun" of "hunting for THE card". It really does not seem to matter which 1080ti you'll go for, as all of them will reach around 2 Ghz, give or take 50Mhz (without physical mods or BIOS mods). Most manufacturers use at least decent coolers for it, so no card will be really too hot or really too loud and even the stock VRM is a-okay.

@Jaymiecain1

7 жыл бұрын

Eh, it still matters to an extent. The look of the card, the lighting areas, the thermals, the sound the card makes, the customer support and warranty...I think a lot of budget brands have upped their game (Zotac have grown massively in the past 10 years) and Pascal seems to reach its limit quite quickly no matter what the third parties do with it.

It seems that my aorus failing was a blessing in diguise since the MSI gaming x seems to perform better.

no I already have those systems. One is an Optiplex, which is known to have issues with Radeon GPUs (won't even post, some issue with the Dell motherboard not recognizing the GPU) and so the choice would be a 1050 / 1050Ti. Problem is crappier performance and no freesync. My old gaming rig has a Phenom II CPU in it but that feels a lot worse than the i5 in therms of "snappy-ness" so... yeah. Waiting to see GPU prices when the 500 series comes out

@Dracossaint

Tuchulu the i5 for better IPC (instructions per clock) And overclock it a bit IF YOU LIKE. mhz speed dosn't always equal better on gaming performance, the IPC matters more most of the time and with that generation of amd, I'm pretty sure it was lower. I'd go with the 1050ti or the 1060 3gb if your not going to go above 1080p with everything on medium. if so go for the 6gb model. that one has been known to hit 4.5 mhz with a overclock AND if you want to do so I recommend getting a aio unit for overclocking.

Looking at 60fps youtube is still weird.

you should look up how gpu boost 3 works and you'll understand.

The majority of heat generated by PCB components gets heatsinked into the PCB's layers through thermal solder pads. Putting a fancy backplate and thermal pads over those components' plastic/epoxy packaging doesn't improve their cooling by much and cuts off the PCB's own airflow. Unsurprisingly, decently laid out PCBs show little to no benefit from "heat-spreading shields" or whatever name the vendor calls them.

The Gigabyte is worth the extra $ because it has a 4 year warranty. All the others are 3 years or less.

Aslong as Pascal is kept under the right conditions it Overclocks like a beast, let's hope for VEGA.

What would be cool is motherboards with a socket for cpu and gpu adjacent chips in the same socket. You'd just have one good cooler for both. The boards would come with IC RAM that doubles as VRAM. You can still have standard slots for expansion and people who need more RAM. Maybe incorporate asynchronous compute style structure in to it somehow. More than likely it would just be one chip. I'm betting CPU's with parallel computing will be the future anyways. Already heading that direction with video on cpus.
