here is the first of many that will outperform the founders editionWow, promo you are just as bad as me and I see your other firestarter posts in the other threads...well at least you ended it on a positive note. :clap2: BTW don't forget that ridelin and I look forward to the updated drivers and witnessing the 3rd party just make a mess out of the founder card through further benchmarks. The only mod that has potential thus far IMO is that EKWB water block modification to the reference card. Maybe the hybrid, however I remain skeptical and until I see proof. Until then I will enjoy my gaming.
P.S. since you asked why I need the 1080 card when it is not maxed out, here is the answer. I plan on getting a gaming monitor at least 1440p at 100 or 144 hz or maybe more. I also plan on building my own computer and passing down the one have and using the 1080 in my new build. In addition new games in the next 1-2 will be more demanding and I anticipate I will need to overclock to get the best performance and get the maximum life out of my investment. If I overclock the founder it will get loud and I will need a waterblock to keep it quite and cool. I know I will be able to do this and it will remain stable and I will get a good service life out of the card. Simple as pie.
BTW instead of just making noise and creating dust, why not post a video that shows benchmark where the 3rd party outperforms the 1080 reference. We can all talk all we want but if there is no substance what is the point. Show me where the 3rd party overclocks higher then 2088 Mhz and is stable . Show me where the 3rd party outperforms the founder versions. In benchmarks ans fps counts on actual games. Its simple, otherwise it is all talk no substance.
Cheers
expect the soon to be released Evga "classified" edition to perform even better.
