For both google docs and google sheets I have a blue "share" button just beneath my email on the upper right corner. If that's not there go to File > Share > Select what people can do (edit/view etc.) and just copy-paste the link from there.

 
i saw that but it did not do anything. now i can't even open the sheet though it is listed. i saved it as an excel doc on my hdd so i have it but i can't get it back into google sheets to open it and share it 🙁

still working on it. wonder if i can share it through one drive or one of those services i got space in......
 
All I want to know is when can I get an msi GTX 1080 Seahawk or an EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid, whichever is available first. How long do you think it'll be until we can get custom cards from Asus, Zotac, Gigabyte, msi, or EVGA?
 


Try creating a new sheet and import the file from your HDD. I did that just recently and it worked fine.


For some rumors: 1080ti = 2x 1080 sli?
 


could be anytime. we have seen releases staggered before. i don't expect to see every card by every maker all in the next week. most of the time the highest performance ones tend to be slower. they were still releasing new maxwell models just a couple months ago. wish i knew more, but that info is just not out in the wild yet.
 
ok so i read a number of 1070 reviews and picked 3 that had similar cards compared over similar games/settings to look for average performance numbers. here is what i crunched from the reviews. remember these are averages and does not take into account overclocking or whatever else but the numbers stayed pretty consistent between the sites so i am comfortable with the numbers. as usual Tom's is a few % higher than everyone else so they tend to bring the numbers up some from what everyone else has.

anyway: at 1080p the 1070 was 18% slower than a 1080, 5% faster than a titan x, 11% faster than a 980ti, 40% faster than a 980 and 64% faster than a 970. on the AMD side, it was faster than all by 31% for the fury x, 40% for the fury and 46% for the 390x.

at 1440p the 1070 was 20% slower than a 1080, 2% faster than a titan x, 6% faster than a 980ti, 37% faster than a 980 and 64% faster than a 970!! it beat out all the AMD cards again by 21% for the fury x, 30% for the fury and 40% for the 390x

at 4k the 1070 was 20$ slower than a 1080, 1% slower than a titan x, 3% faster than a 980ti, 39% faster than a 980 and 79% better than a 970. for AMD it beat the fury x by 11%, the fury by 24% and the 390x by 35%

not bad for a card that costs less than all these cards. i'm still reading for sli numbers if i can find them.
 


just watched tech tips review of the 1070 and yeah it shreds at 1080p and definitely holds it weight at 1440p, its going to be a difficult decision as more cards get released.. its like christmas everyday with these reviews lol
 


That's very bizarre. I think the whole Founder's Edition is a mess. It runs hot and now has this issue. Like what's his name said, the purpose of the Founder's Edition is probably to make the aftermarket cards seem cheap so they sell more expensive aftermarket cards. Aftermarket cards with better cooling, more power phases, etc.

I know I've probably expressed myself about this thoroughly before, and not many others think much about it, but I was a bit disappointed with the efficiency of the 1080. Look it, out reference card thermal throttles for Pete's sake.
 

Really? Have you seen a review where the card runs below it's 1607 MHz base clock speed? It you're talking about the card hitting it's Turbo Boost Temp Limit and dialing back on its Turbo Boost clock speeds, that's not "thermal throttling". Every reference card since Turbo Boost was invented will do that.

Thermal throttling is when the card hits its maximum temperature of 94c and then reduces it's clocks drastically below its base clock to prevent damage. One is normal, the other is not normal. Time to nip this one in the bud and prevent it from becoming another "forum myth".

The clock speed seems to average out to around 1770MHz (1.77GHz) according to the table. If you look at the graph the frequency likes to hover between 1760MHz-1785MHz most of the time. The good news is that this is mostly all above the quoted GPU Boost clock of 1734MHz. It is at least 30MHz higher, and sometimes more. However, you will note that there are many times the clock speed does dip below 1734MHz. These are not prolonged spikes, but a couple did go all the way down to the base clock for a second. Thankfully none of them dropped below the base clock.
 


lol yeah they could've just waited a few days more for legitimate prices

 
this was posted in the 1070 review thread. pretty close to the numbers i crunched from various sites. but very consistent with them anyway. includes some cards tom's did not for those wanting to verify the numbers some.

here is the first custom 1080 card review i have seen so far for the ASUS strix oc http://www.computerbase.de/2016-05/asus-geforce-gtx-1080-strix-oc-test/ it's german but the charts are easy to read :) looks like a weak overclocker which is not normal for the strix cards.
 


Could just be a bad luck chip.
 


I don't think so:

All cards are locked to 1.25V maximum, and when the voltage gets close this value, card become unstable.
