The only problem with gtx 1080 is that i don't have one
Get a job then. No one's going to give you shit for free.
SAV3RAGE that's not true.
uhZeny If you're talking about the shit part, then I guess it's TRUE 😂😂
SAV3RAGE people give out free shit all the time.
uhZeny but he's irrelevant so no
I got this STRIX 1080 four years ago. That card still plays all the modern games at high settings in 1080p. If you don't have a 4k monitor, the card still kicks ass!
5 years later and this is the GPU I just upgraded to lol. I love scalping
lol me too
lol me too! It's a total bear market atm though, I sold my Strix 1070 a month ago for the same price I bought this 1080 for yesterday.
@@Demonomania87 got 1060 6gb will get 1080 ti
I ordered this card yesterday, and I have been looking for reviews of it everywhere but was unable to really find any. Then this video comes out... love you guys thanks! Great timing.
Julatz Schmulatz yea, I want to know how this card performs also. I’m planning on using this in my dream pc build because I feel like 2080 ti is a bit too overkill and it’s a bit too expensive, so this was right in my range for price and it will play any game that I want with good fps
At this point I've practically memorized all their sponsors slogans.
lol true
They will quote you on this to get new sponsors ;)
You should.
I don't even watch the sponsors. -You- They should use this comment to never get a new sponsor again.
+Karl Olofsson Don't give them ideas.
>No Lukes were harmed
Dennis is probably getting skinned after he busted a hole in Linus' garage.
Dennis Tech tipd
I ALMOST DIE
#dennis-is-love-dennis-is-life
LinusSexTips can i habe da dennis pls b0ss
Linus is watching you...
Got this exact Strix 1080 a few days ago and it's utterly amazing, even coming from an EVGA 970 I can see such a crazy difference in smoothness and frame rate across everything, even made video editing waaaay smoother. Totally worth getting, love it.
I'm upgrading from a gtx 1650 :D
Actually I'm upgrading to the strix 1080 ti which my friend is selling me at a great price
Biker vloger on pc shit what
@@skiez7430 I have a 3090 now
I went from 970 4gh to 1070 8gb obvious big difference 👍
After a decade break from PC gaming, this is the card I bought to build my first pc in over 10 years in 2016. I just replaced with with a 3080ti this week, but will be re purposing this bad boy into a pc for my sons. This card was an absolute BEAST and someday when it is time for it to rest, it will find a spot proudly on the self. It certainly deserves it!
"I wanna go fast!"
That's not what she said.
Or did she ?
sanic must proceed at maximum velocity
Different strokes for different folks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"It doesn't run to hot, that's cool" oh dear....
Luke slowly turning LTT into MTV ^^
yeah, I was like thank you, captain obvious haha
that was a pun...
How dare he not say " pun not intended!
WTF do you have has to say this
I didn't understand if the card was a beast.
Install stuff from a CD...I didn't even bother to buy an optical drive bay last time I built a pc
I do, because i play old games as well, from a disc.
(I've actually contemplated getting a floppy drive as well)
But as for practicality? Not really, if you want, you can play older games without a disc,
I'm just really attached to physical media.
I just use a external dvd drive on my desk, the 700mb of CDs and 4.7gb of DVDs isnt useful when you have a 1tb hdd docked to your computer constantly though
I do, it's amazing if you have shit internet and want something like Battlefield 4 or Overwatch
nick johnson I got a bookcase of 2tb drives I use as easy as optical drives. Haven't got one in my pic tho. I do have moments when I buy new hardware and get an optical disk of drivers for it to work. Garrrrrrhhhhhhhh
Colin Antink roomates and I opted for a 10Tb NAS, 1Gbit Ethernet, nothing fancy... I can really recommend it, it is even possible to make the data available over the internet for when you are out
I love the light that was done in this video. The blue and orange lighting was a good compliment.
So the GTX 1080 is running at 1920mhz? I feel this is just a giant joke to them.
lol
GTX 1080p
The 1080 runs at 1920mhz and has 2560 CUDA Cores!
*****
Why the fuck is it called Titan X? Wasn't titan x already out? xd
*****
I'm using GTX 780, sadly nvidia is killing it with
new drivers :
LukeTechTips
Ye I must have missed something but why doesn't Linus do these now?
Linustechluke
+TinUser what kind of bench?
please...... just don't
+Lego Lasttwink comfy ones.
i have this card, it's very easy to find the software. It's one of the first things i did because i wanted to control the rgb. lol
in this video it makes it sound like a chore, it's not.
John Nguyen are all Asus GPU's not overclocked out of the box ?? Help me out... I'm planning to buy an Asus 1080 Ti 11Gb OC edition...
Arvind Prakash no not all are overclocled, this one is advertised as overclocked out of the box but that’s not true. There is a specific mode that is disabled out of the box called the OC mode, and you need the Gpu Tweak 2 software to enable it, you can’t over lock it manually anymore than the software can
what is a good 1080? i was looking at getting the evga superclocked 2 icx. you think thats better than this card?
I use Aura sync for mine lol
I really want the card but it look super bulky
The video quality and the edits are just incredible...love this review!! +LinusTechTips
I ordered my 1080 Strix from Amazon on the 1st of July. I'm still, waiting. I just came here to boost my patience.
Edit: Hehe, it has come! Yeah, I don't need a new GPU for a long while.
lol
HAHA Same
Ordered mine on 28th May from Overclockers.co.uk
....Still waiting....
Graham Samuel I ordered mine when it was backordered. I contacted NCIX and they said they're getting the new cards in the first or second week of August
Same for me -_-
linus plssssssss inject me with memes linus pls
i want a gtx 6969 in the needle
uhh hmm uhhh hmmm uhhhhhh hmmmmmmmm uhh
"needle hole"
noice
#linussextips
I have something to say
I miss the big ol' heat pipes on the 900 series strix :(
2022 and I still use my 1080
._ .
Same.. Same
2023 and I just bought an Asus 1080ti for 200$ and it still freakin rocks!
oh look.
my whole paycheck in a graphics card
Where you work at mc or what
Same here partner! xD
Not everyone lives in USA or northern europe you know.
I live in Portugal, so i kinda need 2 paychecks to buy the card ahaha xD
twice my paycheck
Advertising stops at 8:00
Ikr lmao
lol
advertising as in harshly yet fairly criticizing the driver availability, pointing out how its not OC'd out of the box like they lead people to believe and shows benchmarks?
lol ok then
thank you
thanks m8.. saved me few mins
I just got mine today, I can't wait to build soon.
Just received mine yesterday along with an Acer Z35. Both run great.
Yay 1080!!
Nvidia: "Hey look at our new card... the Titan X"
... um what?
it's confusing but the actual name on the site is Titan X Pascal... and costs twice the price of the 1080...
no, it costs 1.5x of the price of the 1080
um.. no, its twice the price, its $1200
OP Deer Well, in my country 1080 costs 800€ wich is usually the same as in US, but if its not, then its not.
1417 Base Clock (MHz)
1531 Boost Clock (MHz)
Not very impressive, but it still probably hands the 1080 its ass performance-wise.
Nice, no wasting time on personal overclocking anymore!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly.
It takes 30 mins to an hour.
Exactly, 30 minutes to an hour of going 'oh fuck I hope I don't break this' rather than 30 minutes of riddling digital enemies full of digital bullets at insane framerates.
Cloa P. That's not including watching videos on how to overclock, or the frustration when you encounter a problem.
Rahul Katre Or having your system crash and not boot after you try an OC and having to disconnect the card, fix the issue, reconnect the card and start again.
I use the drivers cds that come with my motherboard on all my builds... I didn't realize no one else did that. I mean I install updates too, but the motherboard cd usually has a network manager that you need to even connect via ethernet cable.. So I've had to use it both times I built complete builds, and then once I install that I can access the internet to download drivers via Windows update or Nvidia Geforce Experience or whatever it's called. I have a 970 oc edition. It runs everything I throw at it at least at 50 fps including Ashes of the Singularity which actually has a 970 as recommended hardware. I love LinusTechTips because I'm learning a lot about building overall. Thanks for what you guys do..
I bought one sold it and I have to admit
It's a Gorgeous piece of hardware.. I love the glowing pulse of colors and the EYE of Egypt..
Bought my Asus GTX 1070 Strix yesterday =)
You son of a bitch
+starfox300 Get a Job ;)
I would totally buy one was well, but... my CPU would bottleneck it so hard XD
+Mason D Same, maybe tiny bit.
+CMDR Tacki XT I have a job but I still can't afford such GPUs.
I got it, did some benchmarks for my youtube channel in Total War Warhammer and I was impressed, even in 4k it works at more than 40fps!
Card still great in 2021
It's an awesome card if you can get your hands on one, took me nearly month on the waiting list. Luckily snagged 2 to make my rig a beast to run everything in in 4K for my rig, you do have to run it in OC mode to really push high/ultra setting in 4K setup.
What about the Gigabyte? The two cards are fairly well matched in price, performance and aesthetic. Mine's OCd to 2.1 GHz with no problem.
GPU tweak is in all driver CDs of asus
but they old af
you need the freshest drivas boi
boi.....its insulting....its like calling someone a child !!!
Been using this card since august, absolutely loving it^^
I'm running two of these in SLI and they are great!
Can you rename this channel to LukeTechTips?
I use the driver disk for software. I didn't know that wasn't recommended. I understand the drivers portion, but the install disks that come with new hardware are useful. They include more than just the drivers.
Instead, what I would like to see more of is manufactures include a 1gb usb flash drive with their software's/drivers/etc. since more and more people are opting for builds without optical drives.
Never used a disk to install software they are always out dated. I just go to the website and press download.
I don't think they want to send out "free" USB drives. Unless they make it into a ROM drive if possible, also it's not like that PCB will be recycled by a majority of people and could be worse than an optical disk. But eh.
Good idea, plus if they make the drive a decent size, they could stick their logo on the USB and boom, free advertising.
I still use the driver discs too, mainly because every time I wanted to just download them, I never have any luck with downloaded drivers. I resently had to reinstall Windows because of a pretty nasty crash.
My PC has a PCIe network card, and it came with software drivers on disc. So really, I can't "just go download it off the web" because the network adapter isn't automatically installed by Windows, so I need the CD.
And when it came to GPU drivers, I didn't have any luck with straight driver DL's. Even when selecting clean install during installation, I couldn't get it to install properly.
Maybe I've been doing something wrong, oh well. Either way, I do know that the CD that comes with new graphics cards has DirectX on disc for you to install. In the instruction manual, they recommend you install DX.
Unless I am somehow misinformed, a driver update from Nvidia/AMD doesn't come with DX every time, right?
Maybe that's why I couldn't get the driver to install since it didn't have DirectX.
Same
I've had mine for a while now and couldn't be happier, it truly is a beast of a card and does everything you need and best of all. It will last a good few years, my rig is completely up to all the latest stuff so good news is my whole rig won't need upgrading for a few years now. Bonus is, I can now get some new, better Monitors and then maybe a VR headset depending if more better games come to it.
Just reserved the next one to come in stock at my local microcenter, so hyped :)
"Why would we ever use the install disk?"
Asking myself since 2002.
i'm still waiting for this to be in stock in the UK at a good price
Then you'll be waiting forever, or until tech companies actually stock the cards in high enough numbers for everyone who wants one and stop jacking up the price everywhere but the US... which will be never.
they didn't jack up the price brah, other place just got insane vat aka import tax. those extra money u paid all goes to ur local government. tech companies sell all these card at the same rate vs US
Jack lau
Amazon UK was selling the same card i got for £999 as the stocks was low and was in high demand at the time, i got the same card at the same time from a pc gaming store in my town for £675. so yes some places did/do jack there prices up depending on stock/demand!
BADBOYONE they cut prices recently mate
had this thing for so long never visited asus. Thank you
Coming back in 2022 and most of the video is a little funny to watch now because the performance of the 1080 is kind of just ok 6 years later but one thing that is still applicable is the discussion about how good it is for companies to push their chips to the limit out of the box. Frankly, I don't have a problem with it. I really like tinkering and figuring out the best i can do but that just means i either buy something that isn't already at its limits or i undervolt it to see how much power i can save with no noticable performance hit.
Can you still over clock this card if it's not the OC version?
Eric Baker Whats and answer???
Yes. I bought the non OC version, it's literally just a software to enable the clock.
And here i am gaming on my laptop with GT 520M :D
well :L
lol my brother using 420 gt no joke
im stuck with some AMD card so. consider yourself lucky
I game on a laptop with "no" GPU, Intel Core i3, HDD, and 4GB of RAM. :|
+poopstick
That GPU must be _Blazing_ hot
I'm getting my 1080 rog strix tomorrow! I've waited over 2 months for this!!
I had problems such as coil whine and instability with my 1080 Strix OC, so I returned it and went with the EVGA 1080 FTW :) Very happy so far
Best. Intro. Ever.
Do the GTX Titan X with the Pascal architecture.
It's just NVIDIA Titan X, and why are you asking?When they get it they'll review it.
And how things are going for high-end PC parts I would expect a 1500$ Founders Edition
+carzacc Nvidia is really money grabbing here
+carzacc you mean $1500 for the only edition? They don't make aftermarket coolers for the Titans.
it will be Titan XXX
Ray Saldanha they aren't.
A good thing, with the OC, have a 970 STRIX love it might buy this
I love how they put ASUS on the pcie lock tab
I thought my gfx card broke at 6:30 lol
ASUS FTW
Slimi Le Slime EVGA makes the FTW version of the card not ASUS...
Corodder lmao
C G Are you stupid?
EVGA FTW!
asus is overpricing their graphics cards
Well its great that your card is good, and my card is straight up performing the same to your 4k benchmarks as my 1080p benchmarks.
i did a ITX I7 6700k with a EVGA 1080 FTW Hybrid that play overwatch at 4k max settings love this card
I still don't get the new aesthetic stuff ... I mean the card will be facing downwards ... usually the view-able sides are the back and the left side of the card
Message to AIB partners: make the back and the left side stand out!
evga did it
Give me replaceable vinyl covers for the back of the card!
there are many motherboards and cases that are designed to display the cards from the front.. These front designs are for the enthusiasts who buy said boards and cases
Depends entirely on the kind of setup you have though. Many enthusiasts use cases where the motherboard is on a different angle - Or maybe they use riser cables to rotate the card.
I have this card and trust me it stands out. The fan side leds are dim but the side and back are very bright
For 120fps at 1080p with reletively high settings, will the 1070 be sufficient?
yeah
It'll max games out.
Yes, but CPU bottlenecks are more appearent at high framerates so make sure you get an i7
beyond
i have 1070 and im gettin botlenecked bymy CPU xD (next update on my comp will be CPU and MB)
I have this card, posted up some benchmarks. It is a beast, glad I didnt wait for EVGA.
ahhhh mine is coming in the mail today
Im so excited!!!!
is a review of the 1080Ti ROG Strix coming ?
I don't think one is necessary, just take everything that's amazing about this card, and turn it up to seven billion. They're freaking wonderful, I've got two of them.
Asus GTX 1080ti Strix are you afraid of me now?
Will most likely be getting this for my future rig as it is very color neutral and seeing as there are no black and gold cards out (yet) to match my theme.
I have the 1060 version of this card. It was over 2GHz out of the box. And I overclocked it to 2.1GHz no problem. Card is amazing
I'll pass poor support, horrid out of date website, SHITTY RMA support. I"ll stay with EVGA.
agreed.
so iam not alone.
EVGA is the best. Fuck every one else.
Lol Asus CS is so bad they closed the chat window on me after I told them my Xeon doesn't have an IGP.
ASUS has the absolute worst QC on all their products. That alone is reason enough to not purchase their bullshit hardware.
Can I have 500W with a 1080 Strix ??? Pls respond, anybody with enough knowledge.
Qbriosa Yes, GPUs today are using less and less w, this card uses 180w. I would go for the Corsair 650w though, seeing as its only 10$ more then the 550w one.
I depends. I recently bought 1080 for my 7yo system with i7 860 @ 3,8 GHz. My Corsair 550W PSU wasn't enough for the load. The system was shutting down at high load.
I have a Watt meter that was showing 600W load for a second when starting up demanding titles. So even if the system will run on 400W load, it needs 200+W from the PSU for a split of a second from time to time and not many people account for that.
You probably had a cheaper CX PSU designed for lighter GPUs.
Fuck corsair power supplys
Go for Evga, 10 year warranty
Buy a psu from a reputable brand like Corair, Thermaltake, be quiet!, or any other good brand. Also 650W psu will be pretty nice to have in your case
Best Intro Ever!! I made up my mind I'm getting it cuz of you XD
I love this Card. Mine boosted up to 2050mhz out of the box, and after bumping the fans a tad, stays there while 100% usage.
Notification Squad!
here
yessir
STAND ATTENTION SQUAAAAD.
squad!
WOOOOOOOP.
This cards will be good for VR hentai! Go, people go! XD
Jokes aside, I'm still waiting mine 1080 strix oc (from 3 months I ordered).
Ok
Got it yet?
Thank you for the love of God for pointing out how damn hard Tweak It 2 is to find.
Got mine 2 days ago - I LOVE IT
whos keen to see the benchmarks for the new titan x even tho it will probably kill all our wallets
I would love to buy one, though I shall wait a few more months just to see the absolute best card that Nvidia has to offer this year.
+matt english ??? the Nvidia website have it as titan x
for the price of 2 x 1080's you can see why they have dumped SLI efectively
Why would you want to buy when you can buy the 1080?
Jon Sørensen because 12 gb's of ram, floating point precision and the first card ever to run 10 petaflops. by your reasoning why wouldn't you just buy a 1070?? or 1060?? ummm performance dopey
would it be worth upgrading from a gtx 950 1gb?
That Hardscoping bloke Williams hope you're joking
well im not too well educated on PC hardware so i was asking a question. if you are just going to make fun of me for the lack of knowlegde do your self a favour and dont comment.
That Hardscoping bloke Williams If you have the money for it, definitely there is a huge performance difference between the two. But if your only running games at 1080p you might want to look into the gtx 1070 instead.
just get the 1070, 1080 is a meme card
im getting a i7 so i will either get the 1080 or 1070, depends on my income over the months
Man if i only had the money to buy those rigs Linus has. Great video guys. Really awesome ;-). Greetz from belgium
Just bought 2x 1070 Strix $220 and 2x 1080 Strix $220 and 1080 G1 for $120. Finally able to get bang for the buck. All my slower 1050ti,970,1060,1660 getting sold off. Hoping to be about $60-80 out of pocket for the upgrades after selling of my cards. Far more GPU performance for my family and 2 different Media PC's. It's nice being able to run Ultra everything on a MediaPC with a old LG 3D HDTV 1080p/60hz. Basically just a faster PS4 Pro. Or the 1070 that is now used on a 4k 60hz TV. Old games all run 4k no problem now vs the 1050ti that was in there. I run a 6700xt in my main rig but now I was able to get the family bumped up on the cheap.
I got this card for free.
But it's so expensive ;-;
[Ɖeceive] how about now...
Well 1070 is 350$ on amazon to 450$
Just bought it for $369 on eBay :D
rn the best ASUS ROG Strix 1080ti card is worth around $1,410. Yeah the price is falling but still highly expensive
I got the 1070 version of this card
Theyre pretty awesome
Why didn't you guys leave a link for the download to the gpu tweak thing you made sound so tiresome to get? Could you help the lazy out and post the link?
tfw when my FE hits 2ghz
temps ?
every gtx 1080 hits 2ghz. AiB and nvidia just dont guarantee clocks that some cards may not reach due to the silicon lottery. A 1080 advertised at 1700mhz will hit 2000mhz aswell.
82C max load
thats in-accurate not every 1080 hits 2ghz unless u count 1.9ghz as 2ghz. There are countless reddit posts about this
ProjektPlay They hit 2ghz. They just dont keep it up consistantly. The 1080 FE GPU Boost 3.0 goes below 2000mhz after a while aswell and settles at about 1950mhz.
1936 mhz at OC? I managed to get my 1060 to 1949 mhz at OC.
Rudolph Sedlin There is no way
Rudolph Sedlin I hope you lying
ImAGunDere Not bad... also im not the only one here with an anime pic. Nichijoe is great.
ImAGunDere Ive got an msi gaming 6g
Rudolph Sedlin how is your so low? Most 1060s I've seen go at least 2.1ghz
This video convinced me to get this card when I was shopping a few months back and made me an LTT fan. My only question is how do i make it go faster than 2100mhz? Trying to run path tracing in minecraft. Also the aurus software conflicts with VR. Dumbest bug ever but I still love my card
I have one of these and also the Ti version. They are best-in-class
Unlisted Party!
its not unlisted
how do you find it when it's unlisted?
+Xavier Gilli im sorry i do
+Xavier Gilli k
***** NO THE FUCKING COMMENT CREATOR
Yes just throw away the install disc especially when you said it could be a nightmare to find the most recent version on their website. Well I used my disc and auto updated everything without that apparent nightmare.
People just need to think more.
The fact that it only has 2 display ports turns me down for this card (and 1080ti) why not just include a dp to hdmi?
Drops this into my next pc build
one of luke's best pre intro scenes I think
In my experience the old asus top cards (i have had 2) are clocked as hi as they will go. So not to surprised that these new strix versions are the same.
I am pretty new to PC and found Tweak II right away. Tweak II does need to add FPS overlay like Precision X offers. I bought the Strix 1070 and like they they took the guess work out of the OC. I'll probably SLI it in the future.
Ordered my strix 1080 card on the 28th from newegg when most of the 1080s became in stock (then promptly sold back out). Received the card 2 days ago and has some of the most excessive coil whine ive heard even under normal gaming load at 60-80fps, nothing crazy like coil whine at 300+ fps which is to be expected. Old gtx 780 from asus never had this issue in the entire 3 years of using it. RMA approved but doubt itll be in stock so will end up getting money back instead of a product along with the slow way of handling returns newegg is infamous for
Hello and welcome to LukeTechTips.
this is a great card I have it mine oc to 2150 mgz turn the fan curve up stayed a 55 c great card love it
I really think it's a great thing that Asus did all the OC'ing for you. It's usually going to be much more stable across the game spectrum this way.
I got this one used with one broken HDMI port for cheap yesterday. Great choice still, in 2020!
How cheap are we talking?
it's gonna be my next video card for sure. since it came out I was waiting for asus to come out with their gtx 1080 gpu.
Mine comes in on tuesday. Cant wait! :)
Hey Linus,
When do u think the new Pascal architecture will be coming to laptops, and should i wait, or buy a 970m now?
Been waiting for this ^^
