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

All the reasons mentioned are valid... I'm glad I got my second 1080 ti for my HTPC/VIVE system at regular price...

@ this point even the Titan V's are sold out lol $3000

I am glad I grabbed a 1080 Ti myself. It would have been game over otherwise because I went to 1440p. My GTX 980 wasn't powerful enough, for max settings anyway.

1080 ti is the sweet spot!

I have a 1070 and I use it on 4K and everything sets on max... yet.

 

[Myrmidonas]

With the latest drivers 390.65 it seems that the "Output dynamic range" is set to Limited every time the system reboots, on W7, even if i have set it to Full on both my two monitors. Is there any trick to have it permanent on Full and never have to change it on every boot? Thank you.

1080 ti is the sweet spot!

Yeah, I only bought my 1080 Ti on 19th Nov 2017.

In a way I was thinking that if I'd bought it when 1080 Ti was released, I'd have had longer to use it. Meaning before I need to upgrade again. However right now I am just glad I bought it.

About a month before I bought it, I read something saying that NVidia cards were being snapped up for mining. I panicked and started looking at getting a card. However I relaxed because they said GDDR5X was not usable by mining software. ... Then very soon after I bought a 1440p monitor and realised I absolutely needed a 1080 Ti. (A 1080 might have done it, but I opted for the extra RAM as much as anything.)

Total relief now, that I bought it. I think there is a possibility that cryptocurrency might start to drop off. Only yesterday I read that mortgage lenders are refusing to sell homes to people that made money by cryptocurrency. It's about the fact that cryptocurrency is used by launderers of illicit earnings. I think legally mortgage lenders are not allowed to accept fraudulent acquired money. I guess they just think any profit from cryptocurrency is tainted then.

I think eventually governments will stop any use of cryptocurrency, and that will be good. Right now though I guess is a good time to sell off graphics cards. I have a GTX 650 Ti Boost, and a GTX 980. I'd rather not sell either though. My 980 is back up in case my 1080 Ti goes down. It will also be used when I build a second PC. which I see myself building soon. My current PC is fine but it struggles a bit with e.g Rise of the Tomb Raider. I think it's the RAM that is slow.

1080 Ti is one hell of a card though.

Great Card! Something like the Witcher 3 will not even give me a solid 60 fps at 4k with a 4790k that is in my htpc.
I think with the 8700k I might be able to get a solid 60 fps at 4k....

Setting to use Nvidia settings will change that however i'm not sure if that makes much of a difference.
Works on my XBR55A1E.

If you have a 1440p Monitor your 1080 ti will last you a long time.1070 should be enough for 1440p 60 hz

 

[nikoli707]

looking on ebay my 980ti is consistently selling for between $340-400. but i cannot for the life of me find any decently priced 1080ti. ideally an asus strix would be my choice but the evga icx would work fine and be my next choice. the way these prices are going, not to mention stock, i must hold out hope for something volta/ampere that offers similar performance but comes in at a reasonable price.

we have almost identical rigs.

 

[mr91]

That’s right ! We have similar taste...

 

[TechyInAZ]

Mining should be going down, then we'll probably have another mining boom in 2020 LOL.

But FYI, my 1080 (not a TI) runs titanfall 2 and Star Citizen at 1440P at 90-100FPS.

Well Nvidia have creatively designed cards that have no output to a monitor, especially for mining. Hopefully that will ease pressure from us gamers.

Possibly I have bought at the wrong time. Like if I had bought even a few months ago, I would have had more time with a 1080 ti. ................ No point dwelling on that though.

With ref to what you say about frame rates. I am stunned that my GTX 980 is playing Doom at such high frame rates at 1440p. (My 1080 Ti is arriving tomorrow.) .. When I played Doom on my 1080p monitor and used DSR to 1440p, it would sometimes struggle. However I have played three level and been hitting 100fps no problem, (and I had it capped at 100fps). .. Same with Serious Sam 3 DLC, that I have been playing about with; 125fps no problem.

There are some games that are really struggling though. E.g. Homefront: The Revolution, The Witcher 3.

Yeah Doom should be the example to all developers about game optimization and a perfect flagship for low level APIs. Combined, the amount of extra performance you can get is astonishing.

With the latest drivers 390.65 it seems that the "Output dynamic range" is set to Limited every time the system reboots, on W7, even if i have set it to Full on both my two monitors. Is there any trick to have it permanent on Full and never have to change it on every boot? Thank you.

Works on my XBR55A1E.

Excuse me, but what do you mean exactly? Set what where to use nVidia settings? I want permanent Full output dynamic range on RGB under the Change Resolution tab on nVidia control Panel, but in every restart the driver set this back to Limited.

I suggest you download the latest drivers and use and select Nvidia settings. seems like you have old drivers because i have more options then you in the control panel....

Like I said in the beginning, I do have the latest drivers, currently 390.65.

sorry! Below is what I get! What sucks is I can't get 10 bit color via hdmi @ 60 hz only 8 bit color @ 60 hz

My friend, you are using W10 and like I also said in the beginning I am using W7. Hence your settings and mine are different. Thank you anyway.

So the problem remains. Since 390.65 The RGB Dynamic Output Range resets to "Limited" in every reboot even if the user sets it on "Full". Any suggestions please?

Okay I thought you were using the W7 LG OLED... I don’t have Win 7, you might need to upgrade

 

[mr91]

I don’t think win 7 is fully supported anymore.
I was reading somewhere that you still might be able to qualify for a free upgrade

Source? I officially know that MS will support W7 until 2020 and nVidia still makes drivers as always.

Also do you have other ideas regarding my problem with Dynamic Output Range settings?

 

[mr91]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

As you can see only extended support remains.

I would need your specs, just pin message me or start a new thread, i don't think everybody is interested.

try display port if possible, this should solve your problem

 

[Myrmidonas]

It seems it is an issue many people have encountered as well. Looking in reddit i found this megathread (see link below). Searching for the term "Dynamic Output" shows at least 5 cases stating the same problem with me.

Further more I found this thread stating that the problem will be fixed in the next driver version
Output dynamic range keeps getting reset to Limited
