This was the card I was planning on getting, since the last few G1's rocked. But doesn't seem much different. So I'm leaning towards an AIO (MSI SeaHawk or EVGA version). Hopefully reviews/availability are soon.

yeah speed is about the same on both cards, but MSI has more efficient cooler.
MSI GAMING X = 70C 39dBA
Gigabyte G1 GAMING = 72C 41dBA
well I guess it is offical, those power phases and extra pins don't relly do that much, on paar with the msi gaming.

overclocking is rather poor with all gtx 1080 I guess. Boost 3.0 needs to be eliminated really.

Interesting, the card seems to be a bit hotter and louder than the MSI counterpart.
Eager to see the STRIX review. Got any around there Hilbert?

i saw strix review on german website (forgot which one) and it doesn't look promising. it runs hot and loud. MSI is the best so far of all reviewed cards.

Yes the STRIX is next in line. In fact I just seated it on the testbench :0

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!

Review: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GAMING
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

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.

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.

thanks for yet another great product review Hilbert
Geryboy, the MSI wit it's 8+6 pins is on bar with the G1 8pins, guess all these power phase control are handicapping the AIB GTX 1080 OC wise.
still can't wait for the Asus Strix Gaming Aura test results, hopefully Hilbert going to release those soon
