Nvidia Pascal - GT / GTX10xx Owners Club [With Poll

[TheOne]

well, improvement would be welcome if it would work as intended i reckon.

since all the user that had issues, used it while me who had no issues at all since the 1st install (and 1st 10XX driver) don't use it and most on geforces forum reported FastSync be the root of all issues: it's a garbage for now ... (that, Gsync and Freesync .... never found a use for it .... altho unlike FastSync the 2 later are somewhat interesting albeit Gsync costing a premium )

i realise Vsync add a lot of latency and backpressure


well Pascal is no different than Maxwell in the end ... it pains me to say it but Pascal is Maxwell 1.5 (although i am still happy of my 1070 )


which make me wonder why i never had any issue, beside the one time with Skyrim, with any drivers since the beginning. (though i reckon my DPC Latency could be lower but still in the "green", 1500ish at max but not very often )

With Pascal's performance I don't think it matters even if it did turn out to be a shrink of Maxwell.

Also I think you can enable Fast Sync on Maxwell and lower GPU's using NV Inspector.

Ive always thought that Pascal is an enhanced Maxwell, but as long as it gets that performance, im all good. GCN was same anyway since the HD 7000 days with some enhancements

Did anyone notice any changes with the 372.54 driver? Any improvement in overclocking?

not tried to OC much but the boost sustain stability seems to be better...

as i wrote here
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...72-54-whql-drivers.225050/page-2#post-3506954
1898mhz instead of 1775mhz, higher and more constant? i'll take that as an improvement

Bu Yeah.....

Just got my ASUS GTX1080-G8 today
4K gaming here I come (my old 290@390X didn't do it well)

I assume you already know you won't get 60fps @ 4k in the newer games.
You need a Titan X pascal or better for that.

 

[slozomby]

At idle you mean...

Ok not that bad I see now:

this chart confuses me. there are 40+ iterations of the 1080. they all arent 37dba at full load.

 

[slozomby]

Bu Yeah.....

odd my strix is 0rpm fan at idle. is that the gputweak2 from the cd? not at home so cant check version number right now

hmm GTA V 4K all very high no AA and advanced off 110FPS so that's FINE I was expecting 70-80 with those settings

odd my strix is 0rpm fan at idle. is that the gputweak2 from the cd? not at home so cant check version number right now

It is a Reference or FE design so maybe the feature is gone, can't adjust the light either...

Just ordered a MSi Gtx1070 Gaming X card today. Then this december im switches cases and changing my water cooling loop to some new stuff. Including a block for the new 1070.

 

[horik]

Today i got my Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX1070, had time for a few short benchmarks, the card is runing at stock speed.

With 368.81



With 372.54



The good news for me is that the CPU is not a bottleneck.

 

[P4-630]

Just tried Valley with the 372.54 driver. Using MSI Gaming App OC mode.
Got a better score compared to the older drivers, the weird thing is my 3d mark firestrike score went down for some reason.

 

[LightningJR]

ha, pls, in Heaven benchmark it's not but wait until you play some AAA games, you'll be bottlenecked by that CPU for sure but you'll still get great FPS.

 

[P4-630]

Amazing temps for my air cooled system when playing GTA V (summer, room temp 27 degrees C).

 

[newconroer]

So ever since having the 1080 i've noticed that the RTSS /AFterburner overlay seems flakey and works when it feels like it. In windowed games it comes and goes meaning some days it's fine, others it won't show.
And in full screen programs, it rarely shows at all. Yet Fraps works fine.

Bit annoying really.

 

[heky]

Just pulled the trigger on a Gainward Phoenix Golden Sample 1070...so i guess i will be joining the club in a couple of days...

Picked up a EVGA superclocked 1070 earlier today and was wondering what the consensus is on which overclocking utility to use? I downloaded Precision X OC just due to it being EVGA but i was unsure if Afterburner was still on top or not.

They are both based on the same underlying thing. Rivatuner. Id use Precision X if i had an evga card.

Afterburner is still the reference no matter the brand ... i tested both, i can't bring myself to use Precision X even with a EVGA card AFB is more mature, plus i had to use the Beta 4 from guru3d to enable voltage control, the official one from MSI did not show them (now on Beta 14, good they have a White Dragon Army skin now )

i don't install anymore the RTSS part of AFB, i use NZXT CAM Overlay now (well i have a Grid+ for my fans control so, why not )

dunno about RTSS but i know one thing in 64bit and/or DX12 no overlay work (except fraps maybe? did they update it? )

inferior App OC ...is inferior ™ previous score on 368.39 was 3903 (at 1900ish stable boosting) new one on 372.70 @1700 core (2100 max boost 2065 stable)

I don't try OCing higher than the msi gaming app OC mode clocks just to be safe.
I'm sure mine will clock higher as well.

 

[P4-630]

Ok, I OC'd the memory a little higher, no use to go higher than 2012 on the core since I'm getting VRel and have the voltage at 100% in AB.

Remember my CPU runs at just 3.2GHz in multithread application.

Actually both EVGA PrecisionX OC and the newest MSI afterburner beta (4.3 beta 14) do support OSD in DX 12. Although I find the OSD of PrecisionX OC glitchy sometimes.

just ... RTSS is separate, but Precision X and Afterburner are based on Rivatuner indeed, tho MSI has more experience with it, and i find EVGA a bit clunky at most ... i guess my favorite is still MSI's one (or rather the Beta 14 found on Guru3D )

tanks for the head up i will check it (although NZXT CAM Overlay does a fine job too )

Remember my CPU runs at just 3.2GHz in multithread application.

not an excuse unigines benchies are not CPU bounds (or very little )
plus my CPU shows as 3.5ghz in the result while it's at 4.4

as for the OC nothing beat a AFB OC ... i am glad the Armor wasn't bundled with MSI gaming app

 

[P4-630]

Does it make any difference if I OC my core any higher than 2012MHz?
During benchmarking the core drops just below 2000MHz and I'm getting perfcap reason VRel.
Temps are fine, just over 50s during benchmarking.

In AB I already have the power limit set to 126 and voltage +100%.

 

[P4-630]

OC'd memory some more
