What the fuck, the gap isn't usually this wide, did nvidia botch assembly control or something?

Welcome to reference coolers
i havent seen or used one in the flesh since 2009 my GTX 285

Is /v/ a graphics cards board now?
>>54611792
everyone records sound and heat differently
it might be in a closed case from 30cm away or it might be in an open case with the sensor placed directly on the gpu

The same fail like AMD did with their reference 290 /290x
fuck both companies

Ditto. The only reference you can go by is measurements of other cards performed on the same system, comparing across various sites is generally not a good idea. The best you can do is note how close the test setup is to your own, and expect similar results, this is why all review sites usually have a page dedicated to detailing the test system setup.
Regardless of the specifics, the 1080 has a lot more power under the hood than the stock cooler can manage, and will throttle down to about 1750Mhz at full constant load, assuming you don't touch the default fan profile, which maxes out at 55% (which is quieter than the 980 Ti by 4db, so you can crank it up a bit for sure).

Yes I'm aware of it, forgot to say even when compared to other cards. Closest I can think of is some use reference cards and others custom cooled, but the exact values still vary too much. If I'm not mistaken I saw already an almost 30°c difference between 1080's at full load. Granted, metodology is not the same, but still...

Fuck off

All the trustworthy review sites show 83°C (the default temperature limit).
The ones showing less have either not put any real load on the card or have manipulated the settings to let the fan spin at 100% all the time.

Keep up the good fight guys, your company is proud to have fans like you.
>>54611792
It runs cooler than current flagship cards and perform better.
>>54611792
Some use delta temperature and some don't you autistic kid.
Let me sum it up for you:
>1080 25% faster than stock 980ti
Wanna know what's also faster?
>OC'd 980ti 15-20% faster than stock
Now go and buy it you goddamn shills
