Wow that seems harsh. He makes a perfectly valid point.

Oh hum.
Yes and year or year and half later x70 card with same performance as x80TI.NV is predictable since they have monopoly.Yup, this x80 -> Titan -> x80Ti song and dance is getting old.

Computerbase found like the 1080/1070 and similar FEs, it throttles heavily after playing for any extended period of time. Wait for better coolers.
Did any site test vs OC'd Titan X?
Ooof.... Out of all those reviews, you zeroed in on that one.
The remaining variable is the clock rate, which depends on the above conditions. In the game business we saw typical values between 1.550 and 1.709 MHz in our test copy of the GTX 1080 Ti after the heating-up phase.
Improved cooling automatically results in higher performance for the reasons mentioned. For example, if you run your GTX 1080 Ti at 80% torque (3,840 rpm -> 8.3 sone loudness), you can press the core temperature below 80 ° C even at 120% = 300 Watt and then get boosts between 1,700 and 1.800 MHz, which increases the performance of the GTX 1080 Ti by at most ten percent. 2 GHz and more are only realistic with hurricane loudspeakers - or by changing the cooler to water or, for example, an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV, Raijintek Morpheus 2 & Co. As you read these lines, we build our sample of the GTX 1080 Ti on potente Air cooling ..
Also I guess the FE isn't launching today? Don't see it on any stores.
Didn't Nvidia only sell the 1060 FE at their online store and not retailers? Wonder if it will be the same with 1080 Ti FE?

For now, we can see GPU temperatures in the 84-85C range, with the MOSFETs number 7 and 2 closely packed around 65-68C. This is heavily competitive to AIB partner FET temperatures, but the card is also only under stock clock loads. The GPU temperature, of course, looks dismal when compared to AIB partners. The card requires a significantly higher fan speed in order to sustain a comparable GPU temperature to AIB models, which then sacrifices noise output in a substantial way. To this end, despite using high quality materials, the cooler is not all that great for our audience. It’s a better fit for system integrators or specific needs users, but for most folks, we’re still recommending axial or liquid coolers. This begins choking the clock in a way which is unnecessary, and means the FE cooler doesn’t allow the card to get the most out of the components. That’s where AIB vendors come in, of course.
Some game settings (especially texture sizes) were not friendly to the Radeon R9 Fury X's 4GB of RAM. Where necessary, we reduced these settings to prevent crippling performance issues. All other in-game settings remained the same between the Fury X and the Nvidia cards on the bench.
...I'd love to say something interesting about these results, but the Ti defies me with another record-breaking performance. Perhaps it's more interesting that the once-closely-matched GTX 1070 and R9 Fury X now diverge quite a bit with Hitman's DX12 renderer at 4K.
Whither AMD in these results? We decided not to include the R9 Fury X in our final tally, since not all of our games ran acceptably on it and retail stock of that card seems to be drying up ahead of the Radeon RX Vega launch. Still, some back-of-the-napkin math suggests Nvidia is extracting about twice the performance that Fiji offered from the same power budget. That's an impressive achievement.
So along with Computerbase and PCGH, GN also found it was throttling hard:
So once again, those "Premium" FE coolers are junk and heavily limiting a very expensive GPU. Wait for custom models unless you plan on spending another $100 on cooling.
Why does it matter as long as it is performing fine?
Yes the Titan XP block will fit since it's the same PCB. I have one sitting on my table ready to replace the junk founders edition cooler.Keep in mind that now that there isn't a premium on these base cards, they'll likely cost less than third-party-cooled variants. (To be fair, that's just conjecture, but I'd be surprised if the non-shroud coolers are cheaper.) Anyway, the reason why I bring this up is that there are a good number of people out there that are willing to drop $700 on a card and water cool it to get the most performance. These same people don't care if it has Nvidia's Transformer-wannabe shroud or eVGA's iCX cooler... they're going to remove it just the same!
In other words, they don't care if the stock cooler can't keep it cool enough to maintain higher clocks, and won't have to wait until April for the AIB units. (April is when Anandtech's review said we should see them.) I would imagine that their most important question right now is whether or not the Titan XP's water block will fit the 1080 Ti. (Theoretically, it should?)
Yeah the 1080ti is a beast but we all expected it to be. What impressed me was how the Fury was holding up pretty well in many of the bench marks.GTX 1080 Ti an absolute beast at 4K. GTX 1070 ahead of Fury X in Doom (Vulkan) and Hitman (DX12) with the new driver:

Make sure the custom aib card you're looking to purchase uses the reference PCB as a lot of them don't. The Titan XP waterblocks (from any manufacturer) are only compatible with the reference design at the point. EK may release newer TI blocks later to work with the other custom variants.Got my water block sitting right here. Tomorrow morning F5 madness. 980ti's JUST sold on ebay. I'm all ready to ditch SLI, probably forever.
I hope this card runs mass effect Andromeda really good because that game actually looks pretty awesome. It looks like a star citizen-type-game that actually got finished.
