Hmm... Not bad at all. 67c and fan didn't even reach 1800 RPM. Of course this is rather ideal solution since open bench but still.
Thanks for including the RPM readings!

as always great review Hilbert 🙂.
and love the card if i was going for the GTX 1080 this would be the one, with an ROG mobo monitor and and aura it would look nice 🤓.
one more thing, at computex they showed 2 fan connectors at the front of the card, are those still on and really should one consider hooking a fan to them?
other than that.. love the card love the rivew head of the pack card almost in every chart 🤓

Actually it's the rear of the card and yes they are there, not sure if anyone would actually use them ? Anyway, I added a photo and description into the article.

Actually the 2 HDMI 2.0 ports is exactly the reason I want this card.
I have no use for DP, using HDR TV as my monitor, so 2 HDMI 2.0 ports are great, one port in PC mode (higher input lag but great for text and watching movies) and one in Game mode.

Coil whine and only 2 DP ports.. No thanks.
If all the cards perform the same thanks to the new limitations/GPU boost, then I'll get the card that has the best silence/cooling and best I/O and reliability. If the Strix has coil whine, then it damn well can't be all high quality components.
I'll be going 3 DP monitors and probably a VR kit in future. 3/1 with an auxiliary DVI is the best setup in my eyes.
Now if only I didn't have to decide on getting this, or saving some money and getting a 1070 then waiting for the 1080 Ti. Either one is a big upgrade over my 2x 780's, but uggh, money limitations and not wanting to be SCREWED again are holding me back from choosing.

Thank you for the review but there is a small mistake in yours and almost all other reviews of this card.
Have been trying to figure out what card to get for a new setup. Budget is not an issue as it is for work as well as play.
Issue with this card is the HDMI ports are NOT 2.0b but 2.0 therefor there is no support for HDR over HDMI.
I have confirmed this with with ASUS over there support. Once by email and another time by phone.
I'm looking for something that will provide all the features of the standard card, not remove some of the newest technologies.
I am debating going with the Titan X (Pascal) directly from Nvidia after your review of it, but it seems to have some throttling issues when pushed to its limits and i really don't want to use a custom water cooling system in a work computer.
I really would like a review of the EVGA 1080 FTW Hybrid as i think that would be a good all round card to go with.
Any advice on which graphics card will be very much appreciated.
The rest of the spec for the workstation is as follows:
Corsair Obsidian Series 750D - Airflow Edition
Asus X99 Deluxe II (really want the Rampage V Edition 10 but it seems not to have support for the Thunderboltex 3 card and i really need thunderbolt.)
EVGA SuperNOVA P2 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply, Modular - 1600 Watt
Intel Core i7-6950X Extreme 3,5 GHz (Will be Overclocked to 4Ghz on all cores)
Corsair - Hydro Series™ H115i 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair Dominator Platinum (4 x 16gb) 64gb DDR4 3000MHz CL15
2 x Corsair Dominator Airflow Platinum Fan
Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 1TB Solid State Drive (once its released this month)
BitFenix Alchemy 2.0 Magnetic RGB LED Strip - 60cm x 3
Corsair ML140 Pro Premium Magnetic Levitation Fan 140mm
And ill be adding a Acer Predator X34P once its released.
