Can we take a second to appreciate how lucky we were with the Pascal 10th gen cards? It was right at the beginning of the PC hype that has culminated in the shit-show of 30th gen, the demand was really starting to ramp up, but still production was way more than enough, so people could get pretty much ANY video card, and in the exact version they wanted. One of the biggest increases in performance from one generation to another, all at barely increased price (by today's standards). No scalpers, no shortages, good prices, excellent performance... F in chat for Pascal 10th gen, folks, and for the better days of 2017... T.T

This is a beast of a card. 60fps @ 3440x1440p smooth no drops. Stays level. I went from a Evga 780ti to this card and Wow I am one happy gal.

[@gucky4717]

There is 1 Case when it DOES matter. If you are going to Watercool your 1080 TI, then buy a Founders form Nvidia, which have the highest chance of "golden Samples". Custom Cards are literally who has the best cooler...

I REALLY like the all metal construction of that shroud and the accents are just thin enough that they're not too distracting from the rest of my build white & blue themed build inside my Tower 900. It's a decent card & great for actual work too doing entry level video editing & After Effects work.

[@Waarr909]

I got the Zotac gtx 1080ti AMP Etreme core active... and i hate it... coil whine a lot and loud, also random fans issues with them revving up to 100% randomly even when there is no load on them... also i cant change Fan speed myselfs, it just wont let me, if i make the fanspeed to 100% nothing happens, the card just ignores it. Also there is a problem with overclocking, i cant get higher than 1999mhz, if i go higher it just wont let me, numbers wont change . God i need to return it fast and get something else... im done with Zotac...

the aorus 1080ti is actually the loudest non-blower 1080ti. if noise doesn't bother you, go for it. if noise bothers you even a little bit, don't even think about it.

[@SmokingCrop]

7:00 that's not how you should test that imo. Bench at certain dB(A)'s instead of % RPM and see how cool they are after like 15 minutes of stresstesting at the same Mhz (maybe even Voltage if possible).

Hold on a min. When i put my power cables into my Asus Strix rx480 the led turns on... So its a difference there or my card got a problem? Runs finde while gaming o.O related to 8:15

[@Weeem]

As someone with the STRIX 1080Ti, I LOVE having the headers for the extra fans. The problem with gaming is that the CPU doesn't do much, so getting airflow in the case when the GPU starts getting hot is an issue. Apart from which, if the CPU is busy, then the intake air is also warm. The extra fans help pull extra cold filtered air in and, with a well ventilated case, it maintains positive pressure and keeps temperatures reasonable (I usually see about 66-67C on the card in the case while gaming)

[@dab7414]

Hey dude, what about EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 vs ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme? :)

[@tzvetantzvetanov5598]

3:35-3:52 what he said is why I went with Sapphire on AMD bought two RX 580's 8GB Sapphire Special Edition's. However Pricing was slightly more expensive then the average RX 580 for good reason's :). RGB, LOOKS/ESTETICS, COOLING AND BUILT QUILTY IS REALLY WELL MADE. Its also one of the fastest performing RX 580's you can get :D ,but that is why its more expensive. Its also one of the best looking RX 580's you can get with the ability to be able to light up.

[@veruzzzz]

I went with Strix and I absolutely love the card. I was lucky so no coil whine, it's cool and super quiet. Gigabyte has lost its mind when it comes to the design, there is no elegance at all. I like industrial things, but they totally overdid it this time.

[@SkylineSanti]

So this is the part where I just have to ask... if you were going to full block watercool it anyway, should you just go for a Founders instead of another version? or should you consider a beefed up board (for example, the strix has a two 8 pin connectors vs a 6 + 8 that the founders have, iirc) and why?

I can clearly tell you're an asus fan fax : AORUS : goes with a solid all metal shroud , whilst ASUS : IS made out of plastic. Also talking overclocking : AORUS : outstand with a sustained 75 core clocks Clearly AORUS is built for extreme overclocking n it'll run like a dream on costume watercooled , Long living beast , less price , higher performance than the strix that is made out of plastic and has a bent fin that runs in a lower clock speed if it's overclocked , how'd u buy a 1080ti performance card and u won't overclock it like c'omon lol 2:07 little details? higher the voltage on the AORUS and check that average clock speed if it's the same , that's the only factor you've been playing on edit : U know damn right which card I got I ion have to tell u

[@Patrick-qh5ho]

What if you are going to liquid cool your GPU? How does that change what you look for in a GPU since most of the bells and whistles that the companies add you will remove and replace with a water block. Does that mean you go with a reference card?

[@lubb213]

@2:55 The GTX1060 was a bad example IMO, as the 3GB versions are.. weaker(less cores in general, extremely misleading by NVidia)

[@AquaStevae]

Sorry man, but raw performance is exactly what I am looking at when choosing a graphic's card, first and foremost!!! Secondary is cooling, pricing, noise, build quality and aesthetic's in that order. I will take the quieter, better oc'ing Auros over the loud, less performing Strix all day long. And for the record, it wasn't that it just seemed like the Asus was louder, the Strix is way louder than the Auros by over 10%, yet no matter the higher rpm, it only manages one degree cooler at load, which is within the margin of error.

I think it's pointless to buy cards with original cooling(unless you building small pc and you need blower style cooler on videocard), because it's a lot harder to clean, it's lower clocked by default and the cooler itself isn't that great. Why not spend additional $20-$30 for a card with better cooler?

The white LEDs for the power connectors are lit on my Strix 1080Ti OC when the extra power cables are connected which is the exact opposite of what I can see in your video. The card is functioning perfectly this way though. So I'm not worried that they are not connected or not properly connected. What do you make of this? Did Asus change the behavior of those LEDs lately?

I hadn't bought a Gigabyte GPU in several generations; I only got one this time because I lucked out on Newegg the day it launched when all the other cards were still sold out. It is the Aorus Extreme version and it is an absolute beast. I ended up at +75 core +400 mem clock %120 power limit 85°C temp limit. It stays at 2052 Mhz and never went over 62°C. I immediately got a second one and the OC stayed stable with two cards synced with the top card now never going over 66°C, and the bottom card (the first one I got) still around 62°C max. In actuality they both are usually closer to 60°C. Great cards overall, I highly recommend the cards. They are massive 2 1/2 slot cards though so it pays to know they'll fit in advance.

After telling the price, That meaningful smile 10:00 says it all.

[@Kordanor]

Personally I always had problems with the fans on the card after a few years and this is something which is basically never tested or considered in tests. Well, it is indeed very hard to test. But often cards use similar coolers as predecessors, so it would be possible to make a test that way. But not having this data, I basically made my choice by having the best "workarounds", which left 2 candidates: EVGA: Great reputation, option to extend warranty (paid 40$ for 10 year warranty) and warranty not void if you replace the cooler yourself ASUS Strix: The additional fan connectors Paul mentioned are actually a great way to connect an aftermarket fan My third card of choice would have been a gainward phantom card with replacable fans. But unfortunately they discontinued that line.

Hey Paul! What I would like to see on a This AIB GPU vs That AIB GPU comparison/showdown/roundup/whatever, is an evaluation of cooling performance at two or three different noise levels. Since you are dealing with different numbers of fans, fan sizes, and rpm ceilings, using a fixed rpm or fixed percentage doesn't really tell us anything. But which one cools best at, say, 40db? That, I want to know.

EVGA's Step up program ensures they are the only GPU company I will ever buy from. It's the reason I have a 1080ti instead of a 1080. Upgraded my 1080 to a 1080 ICX version which then gave you a 90 day window to step up if anything else released. The 1080ti dropped and I upgraded with just days remaining. Awesome stuff.

One of the things that put me off the Strix is the VRM and VRAM cooling solution. I know it's just my paranoia but having no direct contact from the heatsink to the VRAM and VRM bothered me.

Why is your copperbackplate smaler then my copperbackplate on the 1080Ti Auros GTX Extreme Editon?

[@Mr.Cheeseburger24]

Is a 700watt power supply enough for 2 GTX 1080Ti's and a i7-7700k?

[@ShaderkaUSA]

Yes

Paul, I need an advise cause I'm getting crazy. I need a waterblock for a Gigabyte Gtx1080Ti Gaming OC (The low quality gigabyte one :)) But I can't find it, I mean I founf it but I dunno where to buy it. Are the auros block compatible?

[@L2Xenta]

HOw about if you compare these to a MSI Gaming X which is a bit cheaper but could be (very) close in performance.. if not the same ?

Love your videos! I'm really interested in the Zotac Amp Extreme edition 1080 ti. Please make a video on ittttt. Keep up the awesome work! :)

Don't buy a founders edition 1080ti unless you are going to watercool it, it uses a jet engine to try and keep it cool... I'm going to buy a Strix and sell my FE...
