At defaults, it's a tiny bit. I doubt very much you will be able to hear it in a closed case as you need to be like 30cm away from the card to be able to hear it.

So its basically the same as the MSI, noise level 1db difference, temperatures 2ºC difference and performance barely an fps or two here and there. Unless there is a noticiable price difference or stock problems, take the one you like most for its looks, MSI for me although ASUS backplate is badass.

Exciting stuff, personally waiting for a manufacturer to bring out a water cooled version like the seahawk, that should bring even greater o.c. potential.

Didn't MSI and all them do something similar with the 1080? Then you have like the performance bias setting on all the Ryzen motherboards.. I feel like all those practices need to stop.

Beware of fans. ASUS has an agreement to make completely custom fans that do not have regular mounting patterns and use model numbers that are pre-existing with different patterns and voltage. It is literally impossible to get replacement fans after your warranty runs out. I have rigged an MSI fan on my ASUS STRIX. ASUS will not supply or sell you a replacement fan and the actual fan manufacturer doesn't sell ASUS's custom fans on the open market. Thus you will not be able to repair your VERY expensive video card correctly with a simple fan replacement without custom modifications. I am boycotting any product that they produce with their "custom" unreplaceable fans. :bang:

Vrm Hey Hilbert I'm wondering if your findings on the VRM temps are universal to all Strix models, it just doesn't make sense. The 1080 Strix last year had the same cooler yet the VRM was comparable if not better to the competition. This is concerning, like the EVGA SC models last year. Kitguru found a 77.4 degrees hotspot not sure if it's the hottest spot or whatnot but it's not close to 90 degrees. http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/luke-hill/asus-rog-strix-gtx-1080-ti-oc-o11g-11gb-review/16/ Could it be that the Strix OC you got was a bad batch perhaps?

MSI card seems to have better cooling in VRM area. It's a good 10 degrees lower than Asus according to Hilbert's FLIR images. Too bad I'm getting tired of MSI's red designs, I already have MSI 980Ti which looks almost identical, don't feel like buying another black and red GPU that doesn't match my case color theme.

Mmm my strix is quite better than this one, I received mine yesterday. 2088mhz stable and 12.1ghz on memory, time spy score 10850 on graphics. Can't check VRM temps but even on auto fan profile it's not giving artifiacts so I doubt it's running as hot as this one Hilbert tested.

Very possible, tweaking can card a bit per card. But it is also rather important where exactly you measure that Boost clock. E.g. a lighter game can very well go to 2.1 GHz on the card. Our Turbo clock is tested at 3DMark Firestrike scene 1 looped. Have a peek.

Cool will do a similar loop tonight and have a look when I get home from work, but it's obvious you got screwed on the silicon lottery with that one haha! Your MSI Gaming X was a good sample at least, it seems that the Ti is even more sensitive to high clocks than the 1080 was. Most online techs only got up to 2038mhz stable, some of them 2050mhz. I should count myself lucky with this one.

I know that I'm way late to this party, but has no one else noticed that in the GPU-Z shot on page one, the ROPs/TMUs spec is 96/298?? All other 1080 Ti's sport a 88/224 spec. WHAT IS THIS CARD? Even the Titan V wasn't out when this article was written in March 2017!!
It could be an error with GPU-Z, it has happened in the past, I remember with my GTX 460 it reported incorrect value for the pixel fillrate until it was fixed with a new version of GPU-Z.

Hello this is not true, you can replace the fans cheaply and easily. Without having to disassemble the card. The fans are also easily purchaseable using the corresponding model # or the amazon links in the video description >>> [youtube=jr5567zIMbs]
Actually its 100% true. I owned a Asus Fury Strix that they had used custom unavailable and sold under false numerics fans. Your 1070 video is nice and lucky that they didn't screw you over too. But still buyer beware as you will never know when they do this again.
