Would it not be possible to finally put some more specific data into the main thread?
We have heard 2200rpm, 2000rpm, 200-500 rpms more, 10-15% more. This all does not match at all. My 1080 ACX 3.0 (non SC) runs Heaven at around 1300 rpm, going to 1450 rpm would be fine, going to 1500 rpm is fine, going to 1700 rpm is clealry more audible than before, going to 2000rpm is unacceptable.

If you want me to provide more specific data, i can not. I do not work for evga and have no more specific data than you have been provided.

i supposed i could do that.
 
but then, what was the point of me spending $649 for a card i cannot use to it's FULLEST potential?
 
one of the main attrractions of a custom cooler, is to squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of it.
 
by the way, i did turn off precision xoc comepletelly while defaulting the speed prior to removing precision xoc.
 
still LOUD as hell.
 

Run your card to full potential, turn the fan down. It used to run at a set fan speed. We will say 1600rpm. If you had previoudly set it to 80% and it ran at 1600, adjust the percentage down to that speed now. Its a very simple concept.

At 55%, my card remains silent on an open bench. If you are setting it to 80% inside the case, adjust the fans lower.

You can also retry the thermal paste on the core as well. That usually lowers temps a little as well.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping a EVGA tech could supply more data.

The point being...one of the deciding factors on purchasing these cards was because they were the quietest cards on the market (besides something on water block). The other issue I am concerned with is the potential decrease in resale value after this mess.

"potential" decrease in resale value?
 
AHAHHAHAHAH
 
 

I run my own test:
 
So I tested the new BIOS for the 1080 ACX 3.0 and I think this is not acceptable. Running Heaven the fans spun at ~1250rpm at 20°C room temperature, with the new BIOS they go up to 2050rpm. This is clearly audible when not using headphones. 800rpm more is way too much imho.
 
I went back to the original BIOS and will wait for the thermalmod pads to arrive.
 

People who claim the card didnt get louder after the new bios update are either lying or deaf

This is where I say "Im so glad I stuck with reference design 1080GTX"!
Haven't heard the fan on my 1080 GTX F|E to date, nor has it broke 64C to date!

So disappointed, been researching the Internet making sure I will buy the right GPU, turns out I'm dealing with their mess and It runs as loud as a stock price GPU. Not sure if I will purchase another EVGA products again

That was an early solution before finalized, but the final is around 2000 RPM during Furmark (normal gaming will be lower). During Furmark it is necessary for the fans to spin at 2000RPM. Normal gaming will be quite a bit lower.

Mine runs over 2200 all the time playing Call Of Duty Modern Warfare remastered. It's like a jet engine, very noticable.
 
 

Can someone point me in the right direction for the original bios for
