Picked up my GTX 1080 earlier today. After much benching of my GTX 980 reference card...and a lot of Jameson.....here are my results: (I have not overclocked the GTX1080 as of yet.) First off a shot of my Zotac GTX 980 compared to my EVGA GTX 1080 FE:



The 980 is a bit dusty...

This is kinda a real world test as this PC has been running without format for quite some time. This the every man's testing. I can reformat later and get better scores but whatever.

I first benched the GTX 980 at stock speeds. This is how I normally run my 980 as i usually do not OC my video cards,

Intel 6600K @ 4.5GHz & GTX 980 stock:




Valley GTX 980 stock: (my PC is a bit bloated and have not formatted since last year at some point. Score would go up on a clean OS.


Fire Strike GTX 980 stock


ashes of singularity (Same settings Guru used when benching the 1070/1080)



I decided to OC my GTX 980 tonight and see what she could do. I doubt I found my highest OC but it was stable and I went with it.

GTX 980 OC Core: 1387MHz- Boost 1476MHz (Memory: 1878MHz)



Fire Strike GTX 980 OC



Valley GTX 980 OC



I forgot to run Ashes my bad but I'm not tossing the GTX 980 back into the PC and OCing it at this point. :)

Installed the GTX 1080, ran driver cleaner before hand. Like I stated: I have not overclocked this card yet. I'll take that on tomorrow night.

Stock GTX 1080 FE:



Valley: (Updated after adjusting nVidia control panel settings to the same as Guru3d uses for their testing - here: http://www.babeltechreviews.com/overclocking-gtx-1080-precision-xoc/2/ ) Score rose up from 4503 to 4408 @ stock speeds.



Ashes benchmark:


Fire Strike: (Updated after adjusting nVidia control panel settings to the same as Guru3d uses for their testing - here: http://www.babeltechreviews.com/overclocking-gtx-1080-precision-xoc/2/ ) Score rose up from 16780 to 16854 @ stock speeds.





So a nice jump but will be better if I format and start over.

I will continue with the OCing later this weekend.

Ok so I've been playing around with the overclocking and as of right now I'm settled at the following:

2075 / 5433 and so far it hasn't given me any issues. Ran loads of tests for stability and bench marking and so far so good. I'm quite happy with the results. At no point during my OCing did the card crash or show any irregularities during benchies other than when I pushed the memory to +450 I did start to get lower scores in the benchmarks so I backed it down to +430 and the scores rose up again. So I think 5433 is going to be my max memory OC. The core on the other hand seems to be able to go higher but to keep temps in line I decided to keep it at +200.

I was having issues with afterburner, as in it doesn't detect my card so I couldn't use it for overclocking and had to use EVGA's precision tool instead. I've not used it before but it worked awesome. I did a manual OC as I heard the built in scanner dealio causes issues.

Also it seems GPU-Z does not detech my cards OC at all. No changes show up in it. I figure it needs an update to work properly with the GTX 1080.

So here are my results so far.

So, 57.3% increase (stock) on Valley and 55% increase on Ashes.

I genuinely wonder how much the improvements are simply down to speed.... The boost frequency (gpu-z) shows a 42% increase.

The 2048 - 2560 core increase makes another jump. It'd be interesting to know if the underlying architecture that does the groundwork has actually altered much at all. But then again, it doesn't matter of the process and architecture work hand in hand to allow very fast speeds to produce the frame rates. After all, a super new design that ran slower wouldn't really help....

EDIT: should add that if the 1080ti shows the same 50% gains over a 980ti, then I'll almost certainly upgrade to that, unless Vega offers even better results.

Updated results (see above). Was able to increase 1080 stock scores a bit and the my OC scores as well. I have to admit I'm pretty impressed with this card.

I'm new to the ash bench so I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at for a score. :)

Funny thing is the core is set to 2088 but during the test it reads 2100 most of the time. Strange.

Benchmark Scores Updates coming soon ®
Heaven seems to display the highest clock speed recorded. Your scores seem right, just a tad bit slower than what I'm getting with my 6700K.

Anything above 2100 on the GPU and scores seem to drop, even though clock speeds stay up and temps are fine. I haven't pushed the memory much yet.

A stock 1080 should be around 17,500 in Fire Strike, maybe slightly lower, overclocked it should sit around 18, 000 and higher.

Most likely my 6600K is holding me back. I've seen some scores in the 19k range but they all have higher end or higher clocked cpu's.

This card blows through all of my games so far with all all options maxed out so I can't complain. I'm totally impressed with this compared to my GTX 980.

I'm not even overclocking the gpu any longer. I just did that for testing purposes. I rarely OC my video cards. Though if I got a water block for the card I would OC it for sure. We'll see.
