Ok..i caved in and ordered a 1080FE with Sat. delivery. 
 
I just checked the gpu boost as it's 1911Mhz, which is pretty impressive.
 
Also, what is odd is the ASIC rating is 100%. That's in no way right, as an issue with gpu-z--lol
 
It really is an impressive GPU, and while i'm waiting on the 1080TI, this is a nice step up. 
(I try to get the most powerful one gpu on the market as i don't like to SLI)
 
Best of luck to all those getting your 1080's!

    Make sure you have the latest GPU-Z for proper reading. The first 100% is definitely not right lol.. Or they finally stopped with the ridiculous asic rating and just buffed the number to make people stop worrying... LOL!

    This is good news while I wait on my EVGA 1080 FE to arrive via Big Brown Truck.

    Where is the video or pic proof to back up what you are saying? or you are just simply an ALT account of someone who is advertising the FE edition of the GPU?

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    The question is how long does it stay at that clock speed? The one criticism with FE is that it will hit a high clock speed for the first couple of minutes and immediately drop down to lower clock speed and stay that way due to temps unless you increase the fan speed. Fast forward to 6:40.

    Turn upp the fan speed, Non problem having 2.1 ghz all the time.

    I received my 1080 FE from Evga on Saturday. I immediately installed the new Ek copper acetal water block. I did a 4 hour stability test using AIDA64. Aida runs the GPU at full boost clock and 100% utilization. The boost clock went to 1911Mhz and stayed there the entire time. Temps never went over 34 degrees C after idles temps of 23 C. Then a 3 hour DOOM gaming session on a 32" 4k Acer Gsync monitor using all settings maxed out. Boost clock stays at 1911 to 1898Mhz depending on if the GPU was at 100% to 98%. After 4 hours playing temps maxed out at 34 degrees C with 20 degrees C ambient. I never saw any throttling at all. Keep in mind I am using a 6700k at stocks and a custom loop in a TJ-11 case using an external Mora 3 Pro 4x180. Very impressive. I do notice it takes a few minutes longer for the GPU temp to return to idle temps than it did with my Titan X probably due to the smaller die. Haven't over clocked yet and so far have not found the need.

    On water you wouldn't see temp throttling unless something was incredibly wrong.

Haven't over clocked yet and so far have not found the need.




    That is exactly what i have seen from my 1080FE, jumping from 1911Mhz to 1898Mhz, but staying at the 1911Mhz mark when taxed hard. But at times it would throttle down to 1885Mhz.
    Granted i'm running this on air only in a poorly ventilated case.
     
    Then with an oc to the clock only,  for over 2hrs in GTA:V, it was able to hit 2.1GHz stable with an just an offset of +225 added to the clock.
     
    That's pretty solid for the DF model running on air only, don't you think? 
     
    btw: I had two different Acer 4K 32" monitors, but the glow drove me insane, so i had to return each one. Those are sweet monitors but i cannot
    stand IPS glow. So i went with a 50" Vizio 4K P50 [VA panel] and while i miss Gsync, i get amazing blacks and great contrast[6000:1].
     
    I do miss the Acer still..for games that run at 35-40fps such as The Division, where Gsync really makes it smoother.
     
    Still unsure to go with that 32" Acer or the Acer 3440*1440 for my monitor...
     
    Anyway...Good luck with that monitor!

    Here's proof.
     
    I will say it does throttle down to 1898Mhz and at times 1885Mhz. It's strange as once it hit's a clock speed it will stay, some times at 1911Mhz others 
    a bit lower.
     
    Earlier I added a +225 boost to the clock to hit 2.1Ghz in GTA:V..stable for 2 hrs. (air only) But that was GTA:V, i need to see if that is stable in 3D Mark or Crysis 3.
     
    Edit: Pics added just using gpu-z's render test. The 1911Mhz stayed for a bit then dropped to 1898Mhz , until i raised the fan speed.

     Yeap, the gpu does throttle with temps rising.
     
     For this gpu, if the temp is 40C or below, it stays at 1911Mhz, from 41c till 55c it's 1898Mhz, above 72c drops to 1885Mhz.
     
     I shut off the ac and ran for an hr Crysis 3 and lowered the fan..to drive up the gpu over 80c, and it lowered to 1873Mhz. 
     
     So it's a fact your case and the way it cools down your gpu will affect the boost clock.
     
     Strange...as i had no issues with my Titan-X.

    ASIC doesnt work with the 1080/1070. You can ignore the value you see.
    And 1911 is pretty easy to maintain. I do 2000-2050 ish. No higher than 80c. I'd try for higher but I don't care enough to deal with lock ups and potential instability, but you should know you can more than likely get 2000mhz np.

    Guys, this is due to Boost 3.0. Boost 3.0 is much more aggressive than Boost 2.0. There is NOTHING wrong with the FE and the AIB models will be the same. 
     
    Thing is, with Boost 3.0, there is a HIGHER initial boost. But there is more dropoff as it approaches the temperature limit compared to Boost 2.0. 
     
    I just wish people could disable Boost 3.0/2.0. Some people can be very OCD seeing their clock speeds dropping for no reason. I know I for one rather see 1850MHz smooth, than see a 1911MHz dropping to 1898MHz, 1885MHz, 1872MHz, 1860MHz and then finally 1850MHz.

    Thanks for the impressions. Would you mind running your 1080 into PWT by oc + mem oc? How far can you go? I´d like to order a Custom (classy/FTW) but the 1,25v block even with 8+6 or 8+8 pin (other brands) an poor oc results let me think about an evga acx 3.0 ref. with waterblock.
    Anyway, congrats to your new GTX 1080 ;)
