Now that I got both cards in here are my scores. Unfortunately one card can OC reasonably well, but the other is somewhat of a dud. Not terrible but not great. Still playing around though.
 
Fire Strike 22434

Fire Strike Extreme 16150

Fire Strike Ultra 9599
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9463036
 

I'm only getting a little under 15,000
On my fire strike score are using the new hb sli bridge ?

Got the 19k with a slight OC (45 GPU / 95 memory) xD However, I can't match the graphics score of the OP :0

It's my first EVGA build, feel free to have a look at my modsrigs-page xD

Keep in mind that Firestrike is still a DX11 test and TimeSpy is DX12. If you have a DX12 video card it's good to run both tests to see how your system runs the tests.

Here's my fire strike results with 2 Gtx 1080, i7 6700k oc 4.7 ghz 23,000+
this is with a single sli ribbon cable , I get my Hb sli bridge today Not sure if this is good or not any info would be appreciated http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13667286

Holy, 37k on the graphics score. Nice.

SLI 1080s

Hey man that's a awesome score ,it gives me something to shoot for

6700k @ 4.5
32gb cas14 ddr4-3000 memory
asus rog maximus hero
samsung 840 pro 256gb ssd as main
evga gaming acx 1080 stock speed
 
firestrike score of 18.9k
 
i tihnk with a minor OC on the GPU i should be able to hit 19.5k.

Yup good scores all. The 1080GTX is a beast gpu!

Hi guys i see some crazy scores with SLI 1080. I got one myself but i can't manage to get there. Here is an example :

http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/10602928/fs/10571413

 
The only thing i don't have is cpu freq but i can't belive that make such a difference in the first graphic test.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thx

Its all about speed buddy sorry. You have the prime example of it. When you come up to 4.6Ghz and above you are in a sweet spot for games and benchmarks. Games/Engines that use CPU effectivily get a massive boost in these areas. Good example is in games like Diablo, StarCraft, Dota and similar that are 100% independent on the CPU speed. Even with my 3770K and a Radeon 6700 I managed to play some games at 4K in 2012 thanks to CPU speed and helped overall gaming performance.
 
So yeah the information and under the speed these cards produce ur CPU can become sort of a bottleneck in that area.
Same reason why a 4 core CPU with higher clock can beat for example a 8 core CPU in games that has lower clock speeds.
 
I even noticed a nice benefit going from 4.6 to 4.9GHz in games. One problem is heat output instead. If you look on CPU generations you clearly see them going up in speed even with smaller dye sizes cause speed is what makes a computer tick and not more cores overall. 
 
Or look between AMD or Nvidia. Nvidia going brute force with high speed and hit amazing numbers, AMD uses more cores on their cards instead and they also benefit differently. AMD cards are beasts in crunching calculations like render and nvidia is fast thanks to its core speed. If Fury X would have the same clock speed as GTX 1080 it would be the fastest card on the planet. Perfect modern game that show just this difference is Ashes of Singularity that depend alot on GPU core count more just in the same way a CPU can be better with more cores or higher speed. Game though are and have been past 10 years and probably next 10 aswell be dependent on 4 core and speed on those cores. When games are coded in 8 core will be a nice time aswell.
 
Hope I explained some for you on this issue. :)

Shouldnt be a problem with that massive Mono block you have ;) Good Luck and be careful aswell.

Thx Balubish, so i'll try the CPU overclock tonight!

Shouldnt be a problem with that nice monoblock you have. Good luck and be careful if its ur first time.

So rebuilt my system yesterday. Stock clocks CPU and GPU. 18182 Overall Score. Wonder what OC will give me :)

Hi to all.
 
Hoping some help can be had from here. I've only just joined the 1080 FTW train and did a lot of research before purchase (Gigabyte 1080 Xtreme nearly won). However the step up program and customer service is what kept me with EVGA.
 
Now to the results of my test. I'm a little underwhelmed with the performance of this card. Not sure why the results i'm getting are fairly low. I can see that my i7 4790K isn't performing too well. Strange considering temps are fine/checked all the time and a nice overclock.
 
Any suggestions?

There is no bottleneck in the GPU scores.  The physics score might be a little low because of the CPU overclock, as will the combined, but the CPU clock doesn't have any impact on the GPU scores.

On air, with a very mild effort, one can expect to see between 21k and 24k graphics scores with a single card.  In SLI, anywhere from 41k to 46k.  With more effort and better cooling 26k on a single card is doable, as is 48k graphics in SLI.  That's for Firestrike.  For Timespy, in SLI should be in around 14k to 15k and with good cooling and some work, 16-17k is doable.  Haven't messed about much with a single card in Timespy, but it appears to be between 7.9k to 8.4k for graphics for a good run.

These scores are with a really good loop. 
FS Single:  25k graphics
