GTX_1080 benchmark

[FrankPooleFloating]

762... Oh my god, you poor thing. I'm fighting back tears with everything I got. I do hope you find the strength to soldier on... my thoughts will be with you...

Yeah not really asking for sympathy. I know 762 is good, but with 7 1080s, and what I have seen others have... close to 1000-1100 with the exact same amount of cards, not sure if something is wrong with my system to not give a score close to 1000

Nick,

please try to run benchmark again. Also while You're doing that open up several GPUZ instance with Sensor tab opened (with different GPUs sellected in the bottom). Also open a tool like task manager or so to see the load on CPUs.

performance drop could be most likely caused by thermal throttling, but also we lately noticed under-utilization because of CPU not providing enough information for GPUs to work on.

both of these could be solved by few simple tweaks, but first we would have to identify the main cause ;) so please, run benchmark again, make screenshots providing some data.

Of course that was just jealousy wrapped in some tomfoolery/comedy. You have good reason to want a higher score, because the math doesn't add up.

Haha! I hear that! definitely a great rig for stills however for animation, still need more horsepower.
hey Tom, here is another run. Not sure why plugging in a monitor (this is a remote server) bumped up the score. Closer to what it should be but still not mind blowing with the 1080. 845 not bad. was getting around 80-90% GPU load. All stock, no water cooling but with this case, able to have a bit of airflow in between. Also using 14c Xeon and X99 WS MB. Any thoughts to get this up to 1000-1100?

hi Nick! ;) cool rig.

The reason why You've seen higher result when You plugged screen in is because Your CPU had more stuff to do & could not sleep ;) few days ago we had a guy with couple of Xeons & 1070s havign the same issue. Basically Your result is lower duw to to those 0% utilization gaps. Please try to go into bios & disable C states for CPU that would allow it to 'sleep' instead of working ;)

by the way, what type of extenders You're using? x1 or x8?

please let me know how it goes after little tweak ;)

[nickmilitello]

thanks for the info Tom. Here are the risers. Premium Gold Plated 16x PCI-E Extension Shielded Cable Riser (19cm). a little bump 868. Could I OC these without water cooling? What software would I use? Haven't OCed before.

[glimpse]

For sure OC is possible. Install something like MSI afterburner or Precission X & start bumping speed of core & speed of memory. I'll write more about that tomorrow ;) & maybe Sebastian will tune in since I have little experience with 1080s ;) skipped that card ;)

[nickmilitello]

Thanks Glimpse! So here is the max I was seemly able to overclock without the bench crashing. Got it up to 923. Not sure how anyone got 1000 or 1100 though.

923 / 7 ~> 132, that's not bad ;) considering I was fighting today & yesterday with new 1080Ti to get 189..so 132 seems in line..

one thing.. I still have hard time to understand is how those Guys manage to get over 174 with 1080s.
Please tune in & maybe You will manage to figure out viewtopic.php?f=25&t=56387
