For all you watercoolers out there, EK has plexi and acetal blocks, both only available in Nickel plated copper this time around. Only the 1080 Ti FE's are getting copper variants sadly.

Blocks

Acetal+Nickel

Backplates

***************************************************************************

Troubleshooting:

Q: "My computer is turning off or restarting while playing games!!!!"
A: It is highly recommended to use a PSU with a single 12v rail. If you are already stuck with a PSU with multiple rails then I would look up your PSU and connect each power cable to it's own individual rail instead. If the problem still persists, buy a new PSU with a single 12v rail.

If the above isn't applicable to you, make sure your PSU has enough power for your build. These cards can draw up to 375w with a maxed out power slider.

Q: My benchmark scores seem lower than yours!
A: Try out these tweaks in the Nvidia Control Panel to help raise your score. This post is also great for people wanting to learn how to do a curve in MSI Afterburner.
Higher Benchmarks and Curve Tutorial

Q: Should I use the Aorus software and just enable OC mode?
A: HELL NO. There are many reports of instability using OC mode and the aorus software in general isn't that great. If you want to change your LED setup then download the aorus software, change and save it, and then uninstall the aorus software before install Afterburner. The two programs could conflict with one another. Download MSI Afterburner beta 6 or older so that voltage control is enabled out of the box. Use the link provided above to learn how to do a voltage curve. It's really easy once you get a grasp on it., Just a simple graph that you move the dots. The link below is Afterburner Beta 6.

I got mine yesterday with complimentary free swag directly from Gigabyte. Runs everything 60+fps smooth at 3440x1440 with all sliders to ultra/max. Super quiet card im loving it hovers around 72c with 58% fan speed at a 2GHz clock, only maxed out the Power Slider to 125% havent tinker with it on OC'ing.

Awesome! That's the non-Xtreme version right? That's what I'm getting. Those are pretty decent temps for that fan speed considering I have heard a lot about bad temps. I'm going to be running mine at 100% fan speed until the waterblock is released for it.

How'd you get all that free swag?

Nice! I would have grabbed the Xtreme if it was in stock when I went to buy. Be sure to post some pics when you get it!

What's going on guys. So I got my Xtreme in today and have been doing some benching and the card runs good, but something is amiss.

So when comparing my GPUZ info to other 1080ti's and even Titan XP's I noticed that my texture fillrate is only at 360 GTexel/s, where the other cards are all nearly 100GTexel/s higher. See http://www.overclock.net/t/1624521/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-owners-thread/4150#post_25992194 for comparison. I understand he is at 2100mhz, unless his gpuz is bugged and the texture fillrate is messed up, I'm failing to see how our cards would be so much lower in fillrate.

Can I get some of you guys to post your gpu-z so I can compare to see if this is an issue with just my Xtreme or if it is like this for others.

Joined the Club today as well, got the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G

Which Bios have you on your Card? F3, F4 or F60? Whene you have F60, can you extract please and upload?
 
#9 ·
Congrats on your new GPUs everyone! My card was delivered today but I'm vacationing until Wednesday so I'm gong to have to wait until them to play with it! Luckily I had someone to grab it and put it inside for me.
 
#11 ·
so is anyone having stability issues? I got mine a few days ago and it cant do any of the advertised one click overclocks. Tried doing it manually but that was a no go either, I RMA'd it already going to give gigabyte another shot but I have to say based of reddit a there are quite a number of these cards that just aren't performing. I have the auros edition not the extreme just the regular auros.

So I just noticed there was an official Aorus thread. Have basically only been F5ing the official 1080 Ti thread for a week. Traded in my MSI FE today for a non Extreme version since there weren't any left. Where do I pick up my membership card?
biggrin.gif


I didn't realize that the non Extreme only allowed +125% power limit VS 150% for the Extreme. I wasn't having none of that, so cross post from the official Ti thread for my Aorus bros:

But power limit was still 125% and default memory speed was still non-Extreme.

So I flashed this guy: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/190959/gigabyte-gtx1080ti-11264-170331

Following the method here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1627212/how-to-flash-strix-1080-ti-bios-in-an-1080-ti-fe

And my card is now an Extreme.

+150 now available in AB, and default memory clock is now 1404MHz instead of 1376MHz.

Time to beat this card up a bit!

Well that really sucks.

Sorry to hear. I'm not one to bother trying the one click OCs, prefer to do that myself manually. Right now I just finished testing 2000MHz @ 1.031v with Witcher 3, seemed perfectly stable. Now that I've upgraded my card to 150% power limit the real fun begins!

Hope your card gets sorted out quickly. Maybe try OCing manually with afterburner?

Yeah I tried manually getting the advertised clocks and still nothing.

Fantastic post +REP. Looks like I'm doing exactly this with my card then! Glad you had success!

I have the regular Aorus too. I'm confused which BIOS gives you the 150% and the memory OC? The one on the gigabyte website or the techpowerup?

Whats the max boost clock with no OC and just putting the Power limit to 150%?

Mine hits 1.97GHz-2.0GHz with just the power to 125%, upped to core +15 to get steady 2.0GHz in games.

Updated to the f5 beta bios and got the 150 limit

Not much testing yet but hitting 2075 solid @69c 150 power limit, and 25 uptick on MHz slider, though I never see it hit higher than 128 pl so may dial it back to 130. On mem solid 500+ no issues.

Hi, I just flashed the F4 BIOS. I unlocked the 150% TDP but I lost the fan stop control on my Aorus software

Do you have a link to the F5 beta bios? I thought they only had F4 beta out.

Yeah my xtreme is stable at 2075 on the core as well, ranging from 2075 to 2050 based on if my card hits 70+ or not. I live in TX so ambient is at like 76F in my house, which causes it to run warmer than others. Extremely happy with it though, been playing Witcher 3 at 90+fps 1440p everything maxed out

I found that if the card is at 2088 then it has like a 25% chance to crash on heaven or other stress testing.

Sorry, can't answer posts individually right now as I'm in a rush. From what I've gathered, some BIOSes have stock 250w TDP and +50% available, while others have stock 300w with +25%. What reallyt matters, is that everyone no matter if Extreme or not has 375w available if the slider is maxed out.

Here's mine for example:



Not even sure which BIOS I'm running right now LOL. Flashed too many last night... Think it's non-Extreme F4 beta, though.

One question, but sorry for my english:

My brother have buy a two aorus 1080ti extreme. But the frecuencies not are the same as defined. In the web say: Boost: 1746 MHz / Base: 1632 MHz in OC mode
Boost: 1721 MHz / Base: 1607 MHz in Gaming mode, but the cards go to 1900Mhz or 2000Mhz without touching any. The program of aorus is very simple three profiles Gaming,OC, silent or custom. Msi afterburner the same, the Mhz defined in program no correspond to real.

Is normal on these cards? I have nvidia card from the gforce 256 to actuality (gforce 256,8800,4800,9800gt,and 750ti) and edit bios,etc,etc,and now RX470 (yes, my first no NVIDA, but questions of money), but this is embarrasing, or confusing.

Does BIOS flashing require the same circuits on PCB? I just flashed my non extreme to extreme 1080ti b/c they have the same PCB. Now I am thinking about flashing my 1080ti G1 to extreme water block bios. (different PCB) Will it work?
 
#26 ·
Just an FYI for everyone, the BIOSes that are floating around for the Aorus XTreme and non-XTreme all have the same 375w maximum with the TDP slider set all the way to the right.

The ones with a +50% adjustment range have the stock FE 250w default TDP limit (this looks to be the BIOS that most of the reviewers got, and is the one posted to TechPowerUp's database)
The ones with a +25% adjustment range have a 300w default TDP limit, but adding +25% gives you the same 375w maximum.

So don't worry if your slider only goes up to +25%, you're actually better off out of the box anyway.
