The factory OC is more than enough to give the everyday gamer enough power to drive any game at ultra in most resolutions

I enjoyed the cards power but the company, the rma, and there cooling solution is where gigabyte will always fall short

Very powerful card, I only wish it had more available power to attain higher stable overclocks but for the Price compared to some of the other manufactures this is a great 1080, I plan in the future to pick up a second one to SLI with, and very stable temps I might add the cooler design here is great and efficient, so far I have not run into any issues of Coil whine or throttling, even when using an overclocked frequency, I went out on a limb going with gigabyte, I had always been a fan of M

Well worth the slight increase in core temps, in my opinion for better cooled and longer lasting power circuitry.-Unlike reference models (including the MSI Seahawk), this comes with much better VRM circuitry, so you will never run into the power limiter while overclocking

I assumed they could spin slower with the same cooling power

so clearly its amazons good job. see the videothe video quality gets hideous only after uploading it, so i posted the video on YouTube,just search this on YouTube "GIGABYTE GTX 1080 From AMAZON !!

Gigabyte has done a good job of keeping this card cool even while running the most demanding games.

The heatsink is massive and it does an exceptional job keeping the card cool

Because this card is a 1080 it has plenty of power and does a good job at keeping frame rates high

Nothing slows this killer video card down

I upgraded to this gpu from an ASUS GTX950-2G, which is also a great video card, and the difference in performance is beyond words

Easy to install great picture quality at 2160 x 1440 resolution I would recommend this highly.

That is why I am only giving 4 stars due to bad quality control

Solid build quality, low power consumption and only requires one 8-pin connector

Doom, Crysis 3, Far Cry 4, you name it, and I can guarantee it averages way above 100fps in 1080p as it did for me

Unfortunately I did not get the satisfactory quality of this video card

Get a cheaper gpu if you can't afford it.

This results in better VRM and memory temps but worse GPU Core temps compared to the alternatives

However, this gpu is good unless you want to run 4k gaming.

It's a great gpu but make sure you have enough space in your case for it

That is only a marketing tactic, because the 1080 GPU is very power efficient and deliver a lot of horsepower and consume less than

The performance on this card is phenomenal, even before being overclocked

It's quiet, has top notch cooling performance, and looks great

My system booted and everything looked fine until I ran a game and it became immediately obvious that my graphics performance was poor (11 fps in GTA5), so I ran a Basic Uningine Heaven Benchmark test and got a score of 1357 (53.9fps)

Incredible performance, but unnacceptable connectivity issues

It is able to overclock very well; I am able to achieve +100 on the core and +300 on the memory and the temperature hasn't exceeded 63°C while gaming

Can easily hit 2050+ out of box, OC can reached 2126mhz stable, temps below 60C, excellent GPU

My benchmarks showed cool temps under heavy load and the fans are super quite.

So I decided to contact gigabyte for the first time a week after the crazy hot temps of 93C at max fan

All smooth with idle fans and temps in the

The Water cooler on the back is fantastic and keeps the temps nice and cool

Till now, it's awesome purchase and hope to see the same in future as well

Around 60 C worst I've seen

Doom, Crysis 3, Far Cry 4, you name it, and I can guarantee it averages way above 100fps in 1080p as it did for me

I've had this card for some months now and the noise has been a constant reminder of a bad decision purchasing this

It is able to overclock very well; I am able to achieve +100 on the core and +300 on the memory and the temperature hasn't exceeded 63°C while gaming

Coolermaster 130Superfast overclock just out of the boxLow tempsQuiet fanCons:Only thing wrong is the installation cd came in way blank

Even running overclock, this thing purs like a kitten and never gets anywhere near high temps doing benchmarks

This thing stays cool all the time, no matter what I throw at it it never gets hot

All in all, this was a very pleasant experience, and I definitely recommend it, if your pockets are lined deep enough - this thing is expensive, and that is about the only 'con' I can think of at this moment, which of course doesn't have anything to do with its operation, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Worst thing is the coil whine, it is insanely loud when playing a game and when you alt-tab out of a game onto your desktop the coil whine stops, but the second you go back in game it comes back again

For that price its great product and if you have case with no window than go on and order it , because some of the cards do not cost their money.

Great product, been working well for me for a few months now

They sell Broken/Faulty products and maintain a broken customer service to deal with those broken products.

If you guys really want to direct your complaint to the Seller and not the PRODUCT

The fans on this hardly ever need to turn on to cool it and when they do its hardly 10-15% cause this thing runs my games on 1080p like a beast.

For the money this thing is awsome and know with what I'm doing it know my friends where lying about running there games in

I'm not a "bleeding edge" gamer, I do enjoy flight simulators, and this will let me max out all the settings on XPlane and it doesn't break a sweat.

~ 1440p competitive above 100FPS, i get 80 to 144hz on most of my games, which is plenty, very smooth game play, low power draw, and stays much cooler than my previous water cooled R9

well, CS:Go and all other games were just as impressive.

Around 60 C worst I've seen

Excellent performance• VR ready• Can handle ALMOST any game on high settings• Lighting is a nice touch but can be difficult to sync with other peripheralsCons:• Can get pretty loud• Software

The lighting is a nice touch with a windforce logo that lights up with full RGB color controls.

This edition comes with a pretty slick RGBLED Gigabyte logo that can be controlled via proprietary software (similar to EVGA's Precision software).Seriously, I have little to say

It should not have been that complicated to find the proper software

As in, You need software to tune this bad boy to lower speeds otherwise the game freakin' crashes (I recommend the MSI Afterburner software for this)

So I set the fan speeds to max and the fans had a screeching noise that I don't think anyone could stand, also they coil whining on this GPU may be the worst of all 1080's

At first I was all excited to get this card that I put up with the fact that the fans made a grinding noise as they cycled from off to on with the fan stop functionality

The fans (3 of them) are dead quiet and don't even spin at idle, normal workloads

before I forget, if you read the docs on the 1080 you will learn it's cooling fans are shut off until the 1080's temperature starts to climb.

To my surprise the card runs cool at all times and the fan is barely audible.

Very fast card (2015mhz out of the box), RGB light, no coil whine, low temperatures and low noise.

Coil whine is through the roof, gigabyte seems to refuse to get back to me on why this is the case with this expensive card

My only real complaint is that there is coil whine under load that I can hear over the fans in my case.

But the massive price spike and the dreaded talk of this "coil whine" this card makes has completely turned me off to this product

My GPU log shows no throttlingNo coil Whine, no fan noise.

under load is infinitely quieter, but the pump noise that is clearly audible during idle makes it not ideal for those looking for silent computing

There was some worry about noise, but mine is perfectly quiet - no unusual pump noise or anything

I was skeptical to buy this water-cooled 1080 after everything I researched and seen about the pump noise

The best way that I can describe the pump noise is to imagine the sound of a salt/pepper grinder, which makes sounds every half-second or so.-In addition to pump noise, the fan is extremely noisy when it spins up to high RPMs

The first issue was that the fans were making grinding noises.

When I received my product, I reinstalled the card but only to find that the fans were still making the grinding noises.

I spent $650 on a video card with fan stop functionality as it advertised to be quiet and instead I get an annoying grinding noise that comes and goes

At first I was all excited to get this card that I put up with the fact that the fans made a grinding noise as they cycled from off to on with the fan stop functionality

I launched Car Mechanic Sim 2018 and battletech and Need for Speed Payback and i heard annoying Coil whine sounds

The fan is defective, it makes an annoying clicking sound whenever it's

Is is a little bit noisy (sound like the rustle of paper) but overall this is a very good card.

It’s not audible at 33%, probably because the wind sounds cover it
