I doubt every card/game would see this issue but it's kind of unacceptable, especially given that it's occurring on the most expensive variant of the 1080 and one that Nvidia spent a few hours talking about how well it's engineered. And yet despite claiming billions of dollars of engineering they didn't bother optimizing the fan profile.
Hilbert already answered but the throttling issue only occurred on the FE cards. None of the AIB cards have shown that behavior. On the FE you could fix it by manually adjusting the fan profile, something Nvidia should have done from the start. The last driver fixed fan issues but I haven't seen or heard of anyone retesting to see if it also updated the curve to alleviate throttling.
I agree but to be fair some sites showed a ~200mhz drop over a period of time in some games:

Okay, good to know that everything is working as it should.
Thanks for the quick reply, Hilbert!

We need to see how it is compare to 970s on SLI and ofc 1080 (G1) on SLI.
I hope to be able to do that HH.

Strix looks awesome. Needs to be in the next Transformers film. Ideal product placement.

Unfortunatelly this card has only 1x8pin,good for reference card or a stable card.
Unfortunately the boost or the OC its not stable,fluctuate too much.because of Boost 3.0?
No high TDP because will be too much heat and ofc too much downclock.

Thanks Hilbert! Any word on the Xtreme Gaming? Can't wait to put my hands on one of those... Would be great to see a review soon. 🙂

Nope they wont because they cost 50% more than GTX970 outside USA.
1070 with 500Euro MSRP have zero chances be same hit like GTX970 was.
here are official MSRP for almost all GTX1070 AIBS in EU pretty much zero card bellow 450Euro.

Looking good from the review. Hopefully Amazon ships mine out this week (as their CS told me).... 🤓

Pascal is really impressive. Can't wait to see the ti and Big Pascal versions later this year.
That might get me off my 980ti.

Had problems with the fans on my G1 970 think i'll be trying the msi gaming x this time. If i dont skip this gen all together.

It would have been nice to see some impressions of triple screen gaming and the new multi-camera feature SMP. Or isn't this available yet in drivers?

Justbordered onenof these awesome looking cards.
My last few cards ( 980, 780 ) have been reference cards. But when you can get a custom card with higher clocks for $50 less than the founders edition, I had to grab one.
