I will get the GTX1080 and will not wait for the Ti. For me the Ti is overkill for my use.

You found the secret 


What , no "ti " in the offerings?
You clearly have no idea how NVIDIA structures their releases. The TI is a completely separate card based off a different gpu. They really need to start calling it something different so people like you quit getting confused. The TI version won't be released for another year. NVIDIA comes out with two types of cards. Small Pascal and big Pascal. The 1080 is small Pascal.

Also, you aren't going to get a official response from EVGA about a card that is a year away because NVIDIA hasn't told them anything and even if they did, they're under NDA and can't say anything.

But be my guest, keeping waiting for over a year for a response. That way there will be more 1080 cards at launch for me 😊

I'll stick with msi afterburner.


Why is this? Are not EVGA PX and MSI Afterburner almost the same application? 
Pros-cons?


Afterburner is more stable than precision x.

Maybe we will see another card with an EVBot port on them. I asked Jacob if they would do another run of EPower boards and EVBOTs and this was the reply I got 
not at the moment. Evbot eventually will be included in keyboard

Look like the 1080 may include a feature to allow self overclocking also as he said it won't work on the 980ti:

I am everywhere. Credit to the OP on finding that big hidden secret

Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

Generally speaking, this isn't true. Only with the 900 series and possibly the 1080 series  ( if one is released) is the Ti model a different GPU die. Prior to that the Ti model was a less cut down (more CUDA cores) version for the 700 series or a more or less cut down versions for the 500 and 600 series. Folks get confused because there isn't a consistent usage denoting a Ti model.

Possibly? We already know the 1080 is based on the GP102 and the new Titan/ Ti will be based off the GP104. Different GPUs ;)

The one thing not mentioned in the count down is if the will be a kingpin edition. Maybe kingpin and EVGA are going their separate ways?

They are not going separate ways. TIN has been teasing us with 1080s pictures which has a giant EVGA in the corner. The KP edition normally doesn't come anywhere near launch.

yes but it won't be able to use all of the features like audio overclock.

do we have a releases plan for the next version ? like the support of the 980 and 970? or is it still a big secret?

not sure I understand your question. Are you asking when we can expect the 1080 Ti? That isn't expected until the first half of 2017.

no, do we have a realase road plan for the precision XOC for the compatibility with 980 and 970 or just a date maybe ? Or at least are we sure that we will have such compatibility ? or do we have to stick with version16?

XOC is still very buggy for 1080 users. I assume they iron out the 1080 bugs before adding past generation support. AKA, probably not for awhile.

Well installed mt 2 x Evga GTX1080 founders edition today with the Precision xoc , i have left it all at default but noticed that the boost clock jumped up to 1866 Mhz is that normal as its supposed to be default at 1733 MHz
 
Aslo i have downloaded the 6.0.1 & installed but looking at the Precision Xoc is showing 6.0.0 in bottom left corner ?

I'm scrolling through here, reading your comments and your forum signatures (which are typically your PC Specs). Most of you are either confused on how to build a PC, don't really CARE on certain aspects of building.
 
I noticed a lot of you guys have two or more video cards but the rest of your build suggests you can only run them at x8 PCIe due to the fact that you don't have enough PCIe Lanes in your set up. When you guys get the i7-6700k, then put 2 or more cards on your board... you aren't even using 1 full card, so it's pointless. The i7-6700k only has 16 PCIe Lane support. If you run two 980 Ti's on a system with a 6700k for example- you're running both those cards at x8 instead of x16. You're hardly using the cards you paid for.
 
Also, Jokke. Here's the build you posted you have:
EVGA x99 Classified
Intel core i7 5960x
Corsair 16gb platinum 3200mhz
1 founders atm
4X Evga GTX 1080 Classified.
4x Samsung 840pro 512 GB, 2TB total
In Win H-Tower
 
The i7-5960x supports a max RAM Freq of DDR4-2133, even if your x99 Class. can OC RAM over 3000, your CPU won't support it. You also, CAN run TWO GTX 1080s with that build, it's a decent build... however, you CANNOT run 4 1080s in SLI as NVIDIA's new 10 series does not support more than 2 way SLI, unless you're not running those cards in SLI, in which case you're putting 4 cards in x16 PCIe slots, but you won't have enough PCIe Lanes to run them all properly. So again, you're wasting resources and money trying to achieve something that this build cannot.
 
DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ON YOUR HARDWARE, THEN RESPEC YOUR RIGS. A lot of you guys and gals are confused on how to build a good PC. You think you can cram all the most recent hardware together or if you build your rig on PCPartPicker it will let you know EVERY SINGLE compatibility issue with your specs; think again.

not sure why you care what other people do with their computer.

Also, even the 1080 doesn't saturate 3.0 x8 so you're point is rather moot.

Agreed. ^^^  stress benchmarks show less than 5% performance loss going from 3.0 x16 to 3.0 x8  with video cards. 
offset by up to 90% performance gain of 2-way sli in high resolution displays for -some- applications.

I'm scrolling through here, reading your comments and your forum signatures (which are typically your PC Specs). Most of you are either confused on how to build a PC, don't really CARE on certain aspects of building.
 
I noticed a lot of you guys have two or more video cards but the rest of your build suggests you can only run them at x8 PCIe due to the fact that you don't have enough PCIe Lanes in your set up. When you guys get the i7-6700k, then put 2 or more cards on your board... you aren't even using 1 full card, so it's pointless. The i7-6700k only has 16 PCIe Lane support. If you run two 980 Ti's on a system with a 6700k for example- you're running both those cards at x8 instead of x16. You're hardly using the cards you paid for.
 
Also, Jokke. Here's the build you posted you have:
EVGA x99 Classified
Intel core i7 5960x
Corsair 16gb platinum 3200mhz
1 founders atm
4X Evga GTX 1080 Classified.
4x Samsung 840pro 512 GB, 2TB total
In Win H-Tower
 
The i7-5960x supports a max RAM Freq of DDR4-2133, even if your x99 Class. can OC RAM over 3000, your CPU won't support it. You also, CAN run TWO GTX 1080s with that build, it's a decent build... however, you CANNOT run 4 1080s in SLI as NVIDIA's new 10 series does not support more than 2 way SLI, unless you're not running those cards in SLI, in which case you're putting 4 cards in x16 PCIe slots, but you won't have enough PCIe Lanes to run them all properly. So again, you're wasting resources and money trying to achieve something that this build cannot.
 
DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ON YOUR HARDWARE, THEN RESPEC YOUR RIGS. A lot of you guys and gals are confused on how to build a good PC. You think you can cram all the most recent hardware together or if you build your rig on PCPartPicker it will let you know EVERY SINGLE compatibility issue with your specs; think again.

Get a life, bro.  And while you're getting said life, do some research.  I made it a little easier for you and found some actual testing results to expand your rather shallow pool of PC building knowledge.

Although I agree mostly with your comment, the difference between x8 and x16 is MINIMAL at best. 95% of users will notice little to no difference in performance.

1. As others have stated, and I can attest to myself because I've tried it, PCIE X16 to PCIE X8 is is about 1 to 3% performance loss with current hardware. X8 PCIE 3.0 has yet to be fully saturated with any single video card solution.
 
2. The 5960X (or any 2011V3 processor) supports 2133MHz RAM not overclocking. RAM can be overclocked as long as the motherboard supports it, which enthusiast gamer boards all tend to. Such as my 5820K that has 64GB (8 X 8GB) of Corsair 2800MHz RAM running at 3200MHz on my X99 Classified. It is, and it works great.
 
3. Not correct. You CAN run 4 way SLI for select benchmarks. You might be thinking of when Nvidia DID backtrack on supporting 3 and 4 way SLI on 10 series cards for GAMES - personally I think that that decision, especially after announcing the enthusiast key for 3 and 4 way support, was a load of horse hockey.
 
4. With a 40 lane processor such as the 5960X, you can run (4) video cards at X8 speed and have 8 lanes left over for other devices. Freebie - SLI needs a minimum of X8 per card to run SLI, X4 or X2 isn't supported. Different lane speeds combined is supported - one card X16 and one other, or even two, at X8 is supported.
 
5. YOU might want to do some more research before bashing other people. It makes you look foolish.

Words and stuff that were removed because they aren't necessary to get the point across.

This post has been edited and acronyms and offensive terminology has been removed. S-T




You may find this offensive then.  Here is a hint, the 1080 Classified isn't even out.  Hasn't even been released, so therefore no one has it in their build and they are referring to the future.  What someone wants in the future does not matter, and is of no concern to anyone else. Some users put their system to use folding for [link=mailto:Folding@Home]Folding@Home[/link].  You say they aren't getting the potential, yet all GPU's are put to work 100% of the time and can run perfectly fine at x4 for folding.. it doesn't mean anything at all what speed it runs at when it is folding, because it is working and producing results. Guess what, the 4 way below ran outstanding while I had it.  I am on 3 way now, and it produces more than that 4 way did, because they are newer/better cards.  Just because you don't see the use of it, someone else will.  Do not feel free to come in and immediately start breaking the forum rules trying to make a point that doesn't matter.
 
NEXT: the 6700k on has 16 lanes total.  Yes, everyone knows that.  Did you know that the z170 Classified 4 way supports PLX, that expands one set of 8 lanes up to 24 more lanes?  That enables 4 way SLI across the second 8 lane setup to the CPU.  It does add latency, and it doesn't scale as well as the x99 CPU's with 40 lanes, but it still works, meaning that your point was 100% moot.  x8 and x16 are exactly the same, within a miniscule amount, when it comes to PCIe 3.0, as x8 isn't saturated yet.  So, I can use the 6700k, which is perfectly fine, with 2way SLI at x8 each, and both GPU's will provide more than enough power, at their peak performance.. hence why the scaling rate of SLI is as high as it is.  Maybe you should look into that.  I think the scale is 94%.. so, you are getting a 94% increase over 1 card, but you aren't getting the full potential?  Maybe you should really research that before the next post.  
 
When you post next, please do not use any acronyms to mask profanity, and keep the name calling out.  Be an adult. Even though this is the internet, you are still accountable for your own actions.  
   
 
 
To everyone that quoted the post, if there is offensive, derogatory, foul or masked foul language, please delete the content when you quote it.  As you will ALL notice, I had to go through and edit each of your posts individually to remove the same thing from each one of them.  If you remove the content, and leave one or two lines, it will make it really easy to correct someone else's mistake, and I will love you forever and ever.. ;-)
