System does not recognize Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080-O8G

[atwarneck]

I just finished building my new computer which will be used mainly for editing and some gaming. The problem is after installing the latest Nvidia drivers the GPU is recognized as a GTX 1060 6GB, instead of GTX1080.

Ryzen 7 1700x
Asus ROG Strix B350-F (BIOS updated to 1001 version)
Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080-O8G
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 CL15 Dual Kit
Samsung M.2 SSD 960 Pro 512GB
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB
Seagate HDD 2TB
Seagate HDD 4TB
Windows 10 Pro (latest update 1709)
PSU BeQuiet! Pure Power 10 600W

Things I've already tried:

-Update latest BIOS to latest version (1001 - 10/29/17)
-Uninstall GPU drivers with DDU and reinstall them
-Reinstall and update Windows

Nothing has worked so far and it seems I cant find anyone having the same issue. I also ran some benchmarks and the performance seem to be the one of a GTX 1060 would give, although the GPU Tweak manager shows Max clockspeeds of 1924MHz and 8014MHz Max memory clock.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this issue?

Contact ASUS support and check with them. Did you get the card from a reputable seller?

I'm contacting them now, have you ever heard of anyone having the same issue? The card was bought from Saturn (big EU retailer), and it did have a discount on it, bcz was on display or the box was opened.

If your card is being recognized as a 1060, then it most likely was swapped.

bcz was on display or the box was opened.

If card was on display, it was there without box. Chance is, whoever was packing the cards back to boxes, made an error and switched 2 cards, in this case 1080 and 1060 (since they look pretty much identical). Check the sticker on the card, what does it says?

At that ^ You did not say it was a return, whoever returned it may have tried to cheat the store also if they bought a 1060, then decided they wanted a 1080 and returned the box for the 1080 with the 1060 inside it hoping whoever took it back did not check the card too closely. Or the score may have made a mistake in packing it.
