Alright thank you but what is this Volta graphics card?

kraxe.tk
This is my first Ti card.  They really do live up to there reputation for being part of PC master race.  EVGA has done a great job with theirs.  Great looks and great cooling with a small footprint, which refers to them being 2 slot.
 
Oh, does anyone know if the FTW3 will be included for the Step-up program, to the K|ngp|n Edition.

Well, I've run my card (1080ti ics  ftw3) through a gauntlet of tests. I have the paid versions of 3DMark and more. It's done better than I expected. I may have done well on the silicon lottery too! That's amazing for me as with my 1080 and 980 and other earlier cards my best results were somewhat below average. With this one, while not a "golden chip," I think it's a good one. But maybe it's too early to say that!
 
Another good and surprising thing was after getting fully acquainted with the un-intuitive, but useful Precision xoc I spent quite a while creating a custom curve that suits my mild paranoia about heat, but remains quiet too. (It's no where near the "aggressive," setting, but way above the silent but low speed stock.). After that I gave the secondary slave BIOS a try and amazingly it was a match to my custom one. Seeing as this is the only GPU I have ever had in over 2 decades that I feel no need or desire to overclock (yet!?!) I no longer need to run any background customization programs, and I'm  not worried about the heat. But in peak of summer I may use the latest GPU-Z in background for heat checks from time to time as they have added read outs for the 9 extra heat sensors in the ICS. Good job that. I don't know of any software except for that - and of course Precision than can monitor them all.
 
It's overkill for my 144hz 1440p, but it's also bliss whacking every setting to max in game and in the NVDIA CP without even considering that the game can't handle it. The power of this card really is amazing. My EVGA 1080 FTW was easily good enough for my monitor, but this is what hobbies are all about - and screw the cost, it's my hobby! If anyone says that I wasted my money with a 27" 144hz G-Sync they are wrong. The experience is better. And any such comment can only possibly be written out of furious jealousy. I whole heatedly recommend this particular card, even to those with mid level monitors like mine who already have a 1080, like me.
Seriously, it is just a very pleasant feeling having such a powerful piece of kit. But only hobbyists (me) or the rich (not me) may apply. Heh Heh!!
 
Now, when is Volta coming out?

Are you at 3440x1440 or 2560? What games do you play?

I ask because I have a 3440x1440 100 Hz G Sync Asus monitor and I can't consistently hit 100 Hz on Ultra settings in Battlefield 1 in Multiplayer with a FTW3.

I am at 2560 which explains it. You already know this no doubt, but the amount of extra work the GPU has to do for 3440 x 1440 is a lot!
 
To be honest, I am not surprised you can't get consistent 100fps on max in BF at your resolution, not even the mighty EVGA FTW3 could do that - consistently.
 
But at 2560 x 1440p, it could manage that with power to spare, I guess. Don't have that game though so can't be certain.
 
Playing Civ 6, late game, menu's totally maxed out with the highest quality settings in the NVCP according to fraps the game stays at 144fps/143fps.
My 1080 ftw which I Oced couldn't manage that at all. Frequent drops to 65 or so. Still great of course, but from that and the other games and benches I have run it's instantly clear the 1080ti is considerably more powerful. At my resolution I would hazard a conservative guess and say it's around 30% more powerful. That also matches the score differences in Firestrike dx11, and timespy dx 12. Amazing card!
 
But BF Ultra MP at consistent 100fps with your pixel packed wide screen - I don't think any single GPU set up could manage that consistently with pascal. Consistently is important though just for interest. I mean I imagine it often goes to 100fps but drops a bit(sometimes for a second or so maybe a big drop) too in heavy action packed scenarios. Is that about right?

You are correct, I'll get to 100 but it won't stay there during heavy action in multiplayer.

I need to know: Do the fans still stop spinning in idle?

Yes.
