Business failure? It may have been a lost leader, but it had to have been made to get to HBM2. Not sure you get that? Where would big pascal be w/o Fiji?
You do realize that Nvidia can use hbm2 without Fiji using hbm one first? Nvidia just isn't idiotic enough to have used hbm 1.Business failure? It may have been a lost leader, but it had to have been made to get to HBM2. Not sure you get that? Where would big pascal be w/o Fiji?

Is it though? Because from what I am seeing once it warms up it downclocks and those figures aren't as impressive.i see alot of downplaying on this gpu, as if its a total fail or something...

lets remind to ourself that is 30% faster then the last gpu king gtx980ti, and whatever it comes from overclocking is all good...i dont believe max oc will be 2.1ghz, wait for custom gpu's with better cooling and then hit that 2.5ghz barrier...

The card isn't a fail. But it's pretty underwhelming for the price.
Temperature And Clock Frequency
As Nvidia showed off the GeForce GTX 1080 at its press day in Austin, Texas, we kept asking ourselves how the card repeatedly showed up in demos at temperatures under 65 °C. In order to circumvent its thermal limit, we tried setting the fan to a 100% duty cycle, and that ended up being the simple solution.
In our standard setup with an ambient temperature of 22 °C, we measured 68 to 69 °C. In another room at 20 °C, and using a less demanding Full HD workload, we finally replicated Nvidia's 65 °C demo. The noise that's created isn't bad when you're in a large hall full of journalists and EDM blaring over the speakers. But it's much more apparent in an office.
And unfortunately, real-world temperatures after three minutes of warm-up look a lot different than what we saw during Nvidia's press day. It doesn't take long for the card to hit its temperature target and hover around 83 to 84 degrees Celsius. That number rises to 85 degrees during the stress test.
Focus on the overclocking run's orange line. At the beginning of our test, we registered a remarkable 2126MHz that finally stabilized at 2088MHz. Running at 1920x1080 not only saves 34W of power that isn't converted to heat, but it also facilitates GPU Boost rates above the 2.1GHz level.
The 1080 hits its temperature target by dropping the GPU's clock rate. During a gaming loop, it falls all the way down to its base frequency, leaving nothing left of GPU Boost. This gets even worse during our stress test, where the core clock dips below the 1607MHz that is supposed to be the GeForce GTX 1080’s floor.
Nvidia's direct heat exhaust cooler does do its job, but the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition does face clear and restrictive boundaries that make overclocking completely pointless for sustained or challenging loads. Admittedly, the load’s a lot lower if you dial back to 1920x1080. But who buys a $700 graphics card for Full HD?
Here's a 1080 on a custom acelero air cooler at 2.1ghz and around 54ºc
Now imagine what an aftermarket 1080 with increased power delivery can do, I think default 2ghz base clock will be a reality.

How will aib cards beat out a water cooled reference card by that much? At 2.1 ghz on water will a beefed up pcb really makes a difference.https://youtu.be/w-3fi1ovAP0
Custom hybrid cooling nets a 2.1GHz lock while staying quiet and cool. We really need custom cards ASAP. The FE is a travesty for the asking price.
LOL Here's an interesting one.
They thought they had a stable O/C @ 2GHz. Then after about 10 minutes that happened.
If someone really wants a 1080 I can't imagine any worse of a purchase than thesereference"Founders Editions". Pay an extra $100 and get a pretty poor cooling solution for your extra money. I'd wait for the custom cards and hope they charge a more reasonable price. $700 and the card does this? And there were rumblings of guaranteed O/C's in excess of 2GHz.
Didn't say they will, just pointing out that the reference design is not good for OC.How will aib cards beat out a water cooled reference card by that much?
LOLAfter 10 mins it tanks? Lol....that does sound like a crazy overclocker. Flounder edition is looking like a foolish buy. Wait for the custom cards is good advice.
Some results are pretty bad. Doesn't even maintain boost clock for Tomshardware. At 22 degrees celcius ambient. It would look like they pushed the cards decently to reach performance targets already.

I'm not sure why people are surprised, reference cards not being a solid OCer. However, if I recall correctly somewhere it was claimed these founders edition cards are binned and supposedly real good... I have my doubts. Still, the temps seem wild considering the massive reduction in power. With just 1 8pin, shouldn't this thing be well tamed?
why people seems to surprise, its not about its reference crap blower or inadequate pcb, but because NVDIA claimed it as a crazy overclocker AND charging $100 more.
