Are EVGA 1080ti GPUs really bad or did I get a lemon?

[TAEHSAEN]

I recently bought a top of the line EVGA 1080 ti FTW3 GPU. It hurt paying all that money but I really wanted good performance. After running HEAVEN I don't know if I got a lower performing card. My temperature was hovering around 70-71 degrees (is that good or bad?)

I'm shocked by my minimum FPS.

My system specs:

* CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz (non OC)
* RAM: 16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3
* GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (EVGA FTW3 ICX)

Few other results I found for comparison:

Yes they all have better CPUs but the difference shouldn't be this huge considering my CPU shouldn't bottleneck my GPU this badly.

> My results:

* FPS: 147.1
* Score: 3704
* Min FPS: 9.4
* Max FPS: 286.9

All the other results you are comparing to have better CPUs, and who knows, maybe their other hardware are better as well.

Yeah, your CPU is the bottleneck.

The Graphics card is fine.

Run 3D Mark Fire Strike and Time Spy and post the result links.

And they are likely OCed scores too on top of it.

It probably dipped down to that min FPS for like a millisecond, how is your game performance?

I just ran it myself, those scores he posted are defiantly OCed machines, both CPU and GPU.

HIs score is fine.


Here is my score at stock for the GTX 1080Ti.

Ok guys, so I warmed up my GPU first and then ran Heaven. This is the result: https://i.imgur.com/Ac4Yc59.png

The minimum FPS has increased.

These are my 3DMARK results. I don't know how to read them

You are fine, no issues.
