Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming RGB Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

  1. I’d like to hear Kitguru’s take on:
    http://videocardz.com/61121/asus-and-msi-accused-of-sending-modified-cards-to-the-press

    Makes me wonder how widespread this is, and if they’ve experienced or suspected this from cards they’ve reviewed.

    Such small gains might seem meaningless, but when cards are priced the same, from the same model, have similar cooling/oc headroom capabilities and power draw, that slight performance edge can sway sales and reviews.

  2. GIGA sent higher clock sample than retail?

  3. Interesting, thanks for sharing. I haven’t reviewed the MSI cards yet, so I can’t comment on the clock speeds. The asus GTX 1080 strix card we had seemed to be all set at the retail speeds you buy in a store. I have an ASUS 1070 GTX STRIX with me now, but i haven’t started testing it yet.

  4. “No coil whine’ –> you never know if another card will have it or not.

  5. My FE GTX 1080 did a lot better at 4k then this card, odd!

  7. Actually its normally related to the capacitors, so its generally a design related issue for each specific board.

  8. So where can I buy one? There’s no stock anywhere in the UK! :<

  9. There was also a review of the Asus GTX 1080 Strix OC on this site. Conclusion was ‘no coil whine’. In the meanwhile several reviews wrote that it had a little coil whine. And one guy an a forum had one with really load coil whine. So there is that.

  10. with the stupid high prices they are charging for the cards id say waith a few weeks and see what amd come up with cause 400-450 pounds uk for the 1070, the successor to the 300 pond when released 970 is way to much money for a card that isn’t their 1080 flagship.

  11. yours is a good chip maybe, better boosting??

  12. I had two of these… incredible amounts of coil whine. I’ve never heard anything like it! Tried two PC’s across a few different power supplies. Plat Plus. Avoid like the plague.
