Nvidia GeForce GTX 1000 Series (Pascal) MegaThread: FAQ and Resources

There are some games tho that will ultra settings you get those few suttle changes. Doom 3 is a good example. On high settings the game looked great but on ultra there was more weapon effects such as smoke and glowing on the plasma gun and other weapons.

Do you mean Doom (2106), which had 'nightmare' graphics settings? Or Doom 3 from years ago.

 

[azzazel_99]

Doom 3. Not doom 2016. What im saying is the only time you really notice the ULTRA settings in games is more so in single player mode not multiplayer. So if someone plays alot of single player campaign's in games then ultra is very much so noticeable for many people. Multiplayer its more about fps than graphical settings IMO but when i play single player modes or whatever i was every single setting on max for full experience.

looks like PNY released some custom cooled FE based OC cards. 1070 and 1080 varieties so far. https://www.pny.com/mega-consumer/shop-all-products/geforce-graphics-cards


can buy on pny site and available now if you're so inclined. red/black color scheme most people seem to like.

 

[azzazel_99]

They also released a 3 fan custom cooled model and as always lifetime warranty with their cards

 

[Math Geek]

pretty sure that's the same model i'm talking about

3 fans and based on the FE pcb. called the XLR8 OC

 

[azzazel_99]

Ah ok i read FE and missed the custom cooled part lol. My fault.

 

[TehPenguin]

It also looks really nice. I'd love to see it's cooling performance. All triple-fan 1080's seem to run really, really cool.

 

[Math Geek]

i like that it is 3 fans but still only 2 slots wide and barely taller than the i/o bracket. some 3 fan models are 3 slots wide and crazy tall. takes a full size case just to house it. this one would fit in a nice midtower and probably some smaller cases as well. price is not too bad either for custom cooling.

 

[azzazel_99]

my strix cards are 3 fan and only 2 slot. I hate asus for their customer service but man i love these gpu's

another Zotac 1080 Artic Storm review. this time from Guru 3D. nice and cool of course but still does not outperform the other custom cards.......

and a 1070 Gaming Z review from Tech Power Up https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1070_Gaming_Z/

always nice to see more reviews for the not-the-1080-cards.

 

[azzazel_99]

Just got my wife a Asus strix 1070 today. She loves it! thing is pretty sweet on her acer Z35 2560x1080 monitor

JayZ2Cents doing SLI Pascal Titan X. (Haha.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82kXx82t9C8

Amazing results with the Founders Editions models. I'm following him on YT and waiting for the WaterCooling upgrade on their Skunworks

Well finally it looks like all the 10 series cards have stabilized in pricing and stock. Just looked at newegg and the 1080, 1070, and 1060 are all not having "out of stock" syndrome anymore. There are still a couple of overpriced cards, but that's it.

However, I'm still not finding 1070s for $370 like they were supposed to be priced at, but at least they're down to $400.

 

[Math Geek]

here is a MSI gaming x 1070 sli review from OC3D http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/msi_gtx_1070_gaming_x_sli_review/1

still showing huge gains in 1440p or higher for certain games and zero or negative scaling for other games. overall, for the games sli works with anyway, beats out a 1080 pretty easily.

 

[azzazel_99]

Well of course it's 2 cards vs one. 2 970's beat a 980 and 2 770's beat a 780and so on and so on

 

[TehPenguin]

And two 1060 in SLI beat a 1080, oh wait.

 

[TechyInAZ]

I was going to say that aswell. 😀

At least it would work in AoS.

 

[azzazel_99]

LOL

gamer's nexus reviewed the Gigabyte watercooled 1080 against the EVGA FTW hybrid and the MSI seahawk. http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2611-gigabyte-1080-xtreme-water-force-review-vs-evga-hybrid-seahawk

overall nice and cool as you'd expect but way overpriced compared to the EVGA card which performed very similar.

some more 1050 1050ti rumors http://videocardz.com/63728/nvidia-to-launch-geforce-gtx-1050-and-gtx-1050-ti

suggests mid oct launch for 1050ti and end of the month for 1050. just rumors of course but it's the first ones for pascal in a while. enjoy the speculation

 

[TehPenguin]

Seeing how the Titan XP overclocked to 2GHz easily, I wonder if you could do the same with the 1050ti and if so, how much performance you would gain. Could be a very potent card.

Shhhhh! Don't say anything! NVidia could lock the multiplier!

 

[Math Geek]

i'm certain they will ensure if won't reach 1060 levels and with no sli it'll sit in it's place and stay there like a good boy ....

that's assuming the card is actually released. might just be a 1060 2gb model to go with the cut down 3 gb one but just further cut down. that'll teach folks to stop trying to understand the naming scheme!!
