Thank you Hilbert.
Very close to my GTX1080 Xtreme Gaming.
With the stock boost of around 2038 and vram 10200 I get around 23856 graphic score on Firestrike 1080p.
And 7688 Time Spy. I don't even consider to overclock.

Edit: can you please share GTA V settings? Or screenshots of the settings?
Thanks

I was just going to say that. Hardware wise it looks identical to my Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming card. Unless I have missed some minor tweaks.

Yes, the cooler is bigger (higher) and it has this Auros-RGB-Logo...

Question to Hilbert:

1. Do you remember the Fan-Speed (max) of the Card under Load?
2. Do you tested the card in an closed Tower?

Thanks!

Hilbert, can you post a list of which games within the last 2 or so years successfully scales up when using 1080's in SLI? Not much point in buying two if they don't scale up in a worthwhile way, might as well buy 1 Titan X and OC it.
