We like the new look, but on our card there was protective plastic film on each silver metal piece and then another layer across the top of the card. The ACX 3.0 cooler has radical new looks and EVGA claims it will allow the GeForce GTX 1080 to run up to 10% cooler and up to 13% quieter than the Founder Edition. The ACX 3.0 GPU cooler is more than enough for the 180W TDP GPU and believe it or not the two 100mm fans switch off completely when temperature is below 60C, so this is a 0dB card when at idle. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 is a dual-slot form factor card that measures in at 267mm in length and 128mm in height. Here is a table that compares NVIDIA’s current models against those that have been released in the past half decade. Notice that the 8GB of GDDR5X memory that runs at a default 10,000MHz on all of the cards! The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW and GeForce GTX 1080 SC cards both have clock speeds greater than the Founders Edition. The EVGA GeForce GTX SuperClock (SC) has a 1708 MHz base clock and an 1847MHz boost clock for $649.99 and then there is the EVGA GeForce GTX FTW Gaming that has slightly higher clock speeds of 1721MHz base and boost of 1860MHz. When it comes to clock speeds the GeForce GTX 1080 FE features a 1607MHz base and 1733MHz boost clock for $699.99. Today, we’ll be looking at the EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming that sports a pretty decent overclock straight out of the box and is priced right in the middle. The heart of all GeForce GTX 1080 cards is the same GP104 ‘Pascal’ GPU build on the 16nm FinFET process, so for most the choice is simple.ĮVGA currently offers five different EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 models ranging in price from $609.99 for their base model all the way up to $699.99 for the Founders Edition. The GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition costs $100 more than the GeForce GTX 1080 $599 MSRP, so it’s safe to say that most gamers will be looking at custom cards from companies like EVGA as they are going to be faster, run cooler while gaming and more than likely cost less. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 cards are still hard to find, but supply is slowly getting better. The GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition is a great card, but many are waiting for custom board partner cards that feature higher clock frequencies and custom cooling solutions to become readily available. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 video card is currently the most powerful graphics card in the world according to our own benchmarks. It's even said to be quicker than the mighty GTX Titan X, potentially doubling its performance (in VR, that is) and offering up to three times its efficiency.The GeForce GTX 1080 You’ve Been Dreaming About? Ultimately, Nvidia claims that the GTX 1080 is 70 percent faster than the GTX 980 for standard gaming, and 170 percent better for VR applications, as well as 50 percent more efficient. Other noteworthy features include Fast Sync, an updated approach to SLI, new video/display capabilities and improved audio and physics processing in VR. Meanwhile, enhanced asynchronous compute and pixel-level preemption capabilities bring further efficiency gains in certain workloads. The addition of the Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) hardware block introduces a far more efficient means of generating multiple projections of the same scene, which is useful for applications such as Surround, curved monitors and VR. The end result is a smaller, faster and more efficient GPU. It is produced on a new, smaller process (TSMC 16nm FinFET), has been physically optimised to achieve even higher clock speeds and comes with a new type of memory, GDDR5X, which is itself effectively a heavily refined and faster version of GDDR5. The best way to think of it really is as a smaller and more refined version. Pascal is, architecturally speaking, almost the same as Maxwell. As mentioned, we'll be covering the chip in greater detail in the coming pages, but there are a few key, take-home messages.
