Update 2 - Truly top 1% as found here Extreme Test http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/12291087?  all I did was enable Kboost from the Precision application and boom, got another 560 points added to the score.
 
4K test http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/12291174? .  Ok now this one found the timing is off too.  Not sure why or how, but it too is top 1% now... and not two.  
 
Still have no idea why it thinks timing is off on these scores... 
 

In Overwatch, not overclocked at all, I was getting 200 FPS :P
 
 
[old data]
First... when I ran the 3dMark test... (top 5% woot!  Competing with quad titans)... they did not recognize the card. Yes, it is updated.  You would think a benchmarking tool that everyone uses would... recognize the card.  Did 4k and 1080 testing.  Card never got over 70 degrees and peaked at 1870mhz... and 1080p test was 64 degrees and 1865 mhz :D  No overclocking.
 
Secondly and probably the most disturbing.  One of the DPs stopped working.  No idea why.  I had to swap a monitor to another DP to get it working.  That might be one to look up.
 
 
Update.  I got my SLI Bridge off of newegg, and SLI'd these beasts together.  I had it all factory defaults.  And while it wasn't really Top 1%, it was just shy, so Top 2% is more accurate.

Updated the original post with the amazing top 2% of all computers tested.... beating out quad titans!

Sajin
Two 1080's beating quad titan x scores? I gotta see that. Post a link to your results.

+1

what type of Titans? quad Titan X or quad original Titans?
 
Do you plan on buying the HMB bridge?

Your graphics score: 19514
 
Titan X 4-way graphics score: 38016

In the Fire Strike Test, I am in the 1%... http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/12275784?
 
 
 

Out of 25,748 Fire Strike Extreme Score Records using a i7-5960X and ANY number of GPU's,
Your Score (Shown Below) of 16,099 places you in position #3,976 (although it's still marked as NOT a Valid Score).
 

 
Also, Your Fire Strike Score (Shown Below) of 23553 is an erroneous result due to the graphics card not being recognized.
 

 
 
BTW:
In the Futuremark Hall of Fame in Fire Strike Extreme, I am #6 (29182) and Sajin is #19 (27278) and Both of us got these scores with Titan X's in 4-way SLI.

When the Pascal Titan comes out, then we can look at everybody's numbers. Until then, it's just the 1080 out (brand new card).

LOL, even my 3x 980GTX beats these 2x 1080 in Fire Strike. 

Does it really? I was thinking about buying another 980 for 3 way.

Yep, results bellow:

Fire Strike Ultra:http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8520815
 
I would not buy a third 980GTX today, most games are not optimized for 3way SLI, with rare exceptions like Tomb Raider 2013, Project Cars, Crysis 3, The Witcher 3 etc...my third card has became a PhysX dedicated one. :(
 
Cheers

And that is great that it does.  But with the position change from 5% to 1% adding only a second card...  I have no intention, but imagine 4 1080s... or just some overclocking and liquid cooling.
 
Like I said, everything was done stock.  Didn't change any settings.  And about the timing.. I have no idea what is up.  I just put my computer together, loaded up my games, and then ran the test.  On another test it says invalid video cards, while on another test it recognizes the video card.
 
The purpose of this post is not "I am the best", it is "These cards have great performance".  And I believe they do.
 
Honestly, I would love to see what a fully overclocked rig with 1080s looks like on the performance benchmarks.  I have no experience with overclocking... otherwise I would tweak some things.

My machine is the best!
 
Why? because it's mine!
 
I only care when my machine can no longer perform the tasks I want it to perform in a reasonable amount
of time at a decent frame rate.
 
other than that? it's all gravy.
 

OP, could you try these and gave us some info, specially with the overvoltage settings, please, maybe there is hope to see if the 1080s can overclock nicely:
 
New MSI Afterburner:

• Added GPU Boost 3.0 technology support for NVIDIA Pascal graphics cards:
  • Added percent based overvoltage support
  • Added voltage/frequency curve customization support. You may use traditional core clock slider on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 graphics cards to apply fixed offset to all voltage/frequency curve points as well as use brand new flexible voltage/frequency curve editor window for more precise per-point curve adjustment.
• Added uP1816 voltage regulators support to provide compatibility with future custom design MSI graphics cards

@jeppouza I can try.  Like I said, I have zero experience in overclocking.  All I can do is try.. or start a campfire in my Cosmos II lol!
 
It will have to wait. In the process of moving and renovating.  PC will have to be disconnected until my treehouse gets recarpeted and painted starting tomorrow.  Tonight I have to pack.

Thanks, man!
If those babies can get some voltage added, I will buy the 1080 and give it a nice EK waterblock, I just need this card to my 1440p Gsync panel for a single card solution.

Updated with new score http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/12291087?  Top 1% on the Extreme test.
 
Like I said in OP... I have no idea why my score continues to be invalid because of timing issues.... the other tests it doesn't recognize my GPUs... but timing is fine...

Those 1080 scores are not what I expected. My score is 21,522 with (2)-980 KINGPINS no overclocks. My graphics score is 28,071 also stock clocks. These are Valid marks.
