why does the gtx 1080 run hotter than the 1070ti ?

[therios]

most benchmarks i see the 1080 is hotter than the 1070ti by 10 degrees .. and the specs are so close between both .. why is that ?

Reference cooler or aftermarket?

both .. the 1080 is always hotter the 1080 reference runs at a steady 84c when the 1070ti is around 73-75c

Then it seems fine, reference GPU's are usually hotter than aftermarket ones, seems fine for me.

There could be a lot of reason that your 1080 runs hotter than your 1070ti, first of all although they are the same architecture the 1080 was out before the 1070ti so that gave them time for improvement.
