I just sold my strix 1080 ti, and I would like the ftw3, my doubt is if, can I use evga precision to control fans and msi afertburner to do OC and control my temperatures? Since I use the afterburner msi in conjunction with the hwinfo64 to see temperatures during the game. Is there any software conflict? What maximum temperature does the ftw3 play with custom fan curve? thanks

Precision and AB will cause issues if you run them together. Run one or the other.

You should -never- run more than one monitoring program at a time, as doing so can cause serious issues in sensor readings and values. Run Afterburner or run Precision and dont run HWI while running either... run it by itself. If your going to get a FTW3 you will be stuck with using EVGA Precision if you want full fan control, as Afterburner will only allow you to control the GPU fan and the other 2 will default to BIOS.... As for needing to "see" videocard temps while in game... you DONT. You should -test- your system and configuration for OC Temps and -know- your values under serious loads Games rarely if ever approach testing config temps, and since you tested... you know your temps are fine *for new games, its always wise to review the max temp stats in AB or Precision when you first play (older games or badly coded ports can sometimes have runaway fps) but there is really no need to view temps in-game as even then, you should KNOW your max temps possible... "What maximum temperature does the ftw3 play with custom fan curve?" Of course that cannot be really answered, as such numbers depend on so many factors.... of which you mentioned zero

No absolutely not..... Look, overclocking is something you need to research and read up on to do correctly and achieve good results. If you understood the issues involved you would not need to ask such a question.... If you dont do that homework -first-, then your going to have nothing but problems, performance issues and unhappiness You would not put diesel in a gas engine right? well you dont poll sensors on your videocard with multiple programs at the same time...

Im going to go out on a limb here.... If you want to use Afterburner and RTSS then you should NOT get a FTW3, as it cannot run the 2 extra fans properly for overclocking (unless full speed fan noise is not an issue) If you just "have" to have a FTW3 and you want to overclock, then you are going to HAVE TO USE Precision -only- Really sounds to me like a 1080Ti under water (factory) would be what your looking for, as its stock performance will be at FTW3 levels and overclocked will certainly be better (just remember the 1080Ti's -are of them- are very closely performance grouped) so dont expect miracles

Or just get the TI SC Black Edition.... Performancewise, not much if any difference. Go to: www.gamersnexus.com and read the review that compares the FTW3 to the SC2. Their take was to go with SC2. Well the SC2 and the Black are both clocked the same. You can use either Precision OR Afterburner with the Black Edition, because both fans are controlled by one header.

How do you find the noise levels of the black SC2? I am trying to decide between SC2, Black, and FTW3. I'm putting it in a very small case and I value silence greatly. The only thing that worried me about the gamersnexus review was the 50% fan speed db reading for the SC2.

I raise to 75% fan speed and still pretty silent. Very pleased with this card. Mind you, the card is installed in a Thermaltake Overseer RX-1 case that has two 200mm fans running at 700 rpm and one 120 mm fan running at 1000 rpm. My system makes a very slight woosh all the time...don't hear anything over that...

It's also important to know what overclocking does and to benchmark games to see if it's really a benefit beyond just a number in like Futuremark. I don't want to sound negative on overclocking it's just that if every game you throw at the 1080 is running smooth as butter with settings maxed it's better to spend the time to study up and know what you can do and how to do it rather then risk damaging a card for what is really not something you might notice.

A small case will most often need "higher" fan speeds to maintain temps.... And if you are really going to OC then you need to be comfortable with max (100%) fan speed noise or use a good pair of headphones. *Remember that the real limits of the 1080 Ti are temps... Whatever card you get will perform better at STOCK SPEEDS and good temps, than overclocked and running hot. We this see quite often on the forums, users who are trying to run the fans low (quiet) and then complaining about performance levels.

Thanks for the answers .. I decided on the ftw3. I would arrive next week .. I read that it has two bios .. which is the recommended? After a long time I will have an EVGA back

Slave vbios is recommended.

I wish I would have known about being stuck with XOC before buying my FTW3 since I've always used afterburner and loved the in game overlay. Sure XOC has something similar but problem is it doesn't work with half the games I play. My main thing is FPS so I may look into turning off XOC osd and using the steam built in FPS monitor or something. At least for monitoring GPU related things it still saves in the background and you can alt tab out and look at the graphs (IF you open the hwmonitor and extend the graph!). Otherwise you can always still see the MAX readings for temps and stuff so I'm willing to compromise. You will love the FTW3.

My experience with XOC and FTW3 so far is it works just fine. Yeah I like Afterburner wayyyy more, but it's not a deal breaker. The cooler on the FTW3 works really well even when OCing. Use the slave bios for a little extra voltage %, but from what I see pretty much all of the 1080ti's are hitting similar numbers.

Nvidia's Shadowplay has an FPS counter too.
