i just got around to installing my Hybrid and i'm pretty damn disappointed so far.
it overclocks like crap. i was only able to get it to +95/+550 and it was really struggling to even maintain 2075MHz. anything over +95 on the core clock became unstable. my Asus Strix OC easily maintained 2101MHz right out of the box without touching a single thing besides maxing out the power % and temp thresholds. for some reason, i saw that the Heaven benchmark was only using about 84%-86% power.
i'm kind of debating if i should box it up and send it back or selling it instead of my Strix OC 1080.
Seriously? The 1080 FTW Hybrid is factory clocked at 1721MHz Base Clock and 1860MHz Boost Clock, and you're disappointed that the card "only" clocks 354MHz beyond base clock and 215MHz beyond the boost clock??? You should realize that :
(a) 2075MHz is a very respectable overclock, and
(b) everyone knows that it's a silicon lottery, and just because you were extremely lucky to get an ASUS card that maintained 2101MHz, it does not mean every card put out by every other company should clock at least that high.
I imagine most owners would be quite happy with 2075MHz overclock - I know I would. The real world difference between 2075MHz and 2101MHz would be indiscernible, and the only place this might make even a slight difference is with intensive benchmarking software, and even then it would be very minor.
I am amazed you think the card warrants a return because it "only" clocks to 2075MHz. Go ahead, box it up and return it, but I would fully expect you to get a 15% restocking fee if that is your reason for returning it. smh...
