How much EVGA plan to OC Hybrid?
I ask because higher clock is better but stability is most important thing.
Looks like ASUS have some problems with GTX1080 Strix OC and want to stop production.
Now I don't know is it ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING with 1754 Base Clock /1784 OC Mode problematic or some other model with even higher clock.
I remember that we complain why EVGA decide to go with 30-50MHz lower clock for FTW if we talk about that Strix model.
But looks like they advice people to cancel order and expect non OC Strix model in July. Too many RMA thanks to instability because high clock is reason.
It's fair from ASUS because they say that and didn't allow to people suffer with slow RMA process and delay RMA to customers blaming other things and advice downlock as solution. It's much better when company say clearly to customers what's happen. Probably NVIDIA driver change situation for many people who have chips overclocked to the end and once barely stable become unstable in most situation.
Later they explain that as not true and they expect limited number of Strix.
It's very danger when manufacturer don't stress card properly and all cards overclocked to the end have big chance to become unstable when NVIDIA improve drivers over time.
