Lots of great GTX 1080's coming out but the shortage of these and the reference cards, sorry Founder's Editions, and the higher than expected prices here in the UK means that I am finding easier to resist buying one. Yes, these might be 20-40% faster than a stock GTX 980 Ti but that only means the inevitable 1080 Ti will be even faster and, thus, better value 6-9 months down the line, whenever it is released. At this point I am more excited about what is coming next.

If there's one thing I've learned over the last two card gens it's those two things
.
If the Strix or HOF versions of the 1080 don't do better than this on the OC I don't think any variant will do more than slightly edge out the ref. card and have better temps. I wonder if anyone will be able to do much more on water.

Hi,
great review, as with the custom 1070 gtx review im missing the official TDP of the card, so we can see if its actually worth to buy the higher binned/priced cards or are all on the same TDP limit. I did see you wrote 108% Power limit on the OC page, but i wonder if more is not possible (on the tdp limit side)
I think to know this is very useful with the new Pascal generation.
Thanks
You can repeat yourself over and over again, but we report what we measure and thus in fact is the TDP. All manufacturers will follow the Nvidia spec and say it's 180 Watts. But what we measure is in our view the actual TDP as listed in the chart. Overall we see 190'ish Watt under load on the 1080'ies.

For the OC or generic ? I'll see if I can fit in the RPM plot into the AB screenshot.
Update: done, will include actual RPM values in the upcoming reviews.
Hilbert, could you include max fan RPM either in the Afterburner graph or in the text in the future? It would make comparing stuff easier since % can mean anything. Great review as always!
