No.....I meant..

One 970 was the same as Tors 2 x 970's in SLI......

But as he explained later the test does not support SLI so that would explain it....

Roger is the one with the 970 SLI setup, I have a single 980 TI.

Bollocks......Yea I meant Roger....

I thought I'd just update this with my latest SteamVR Performance Test:



The average fidelity is about on par with the GTX 980 Ti, but the frames tested was quite a bit higher.


I also performed the 3D Mark Fire Strike benchmark test and was a little underwhelmed. My dual GTX 970 SLI setup scored over 15k, but the GTX 1080 only scored about 16.3k, which is only about 5-10% faster. This is still a few percent slower than Wolf's 980 Ti setup, but he has a newer/faster i7 6700k CPU, which I assume explains that. I updated to the latest drivers and it was slightly slower.

Still, it is only a single card and nothing is overclocked or anything. I suppose I could squeeze some more performance out of the system, but I hope I won't need to for ED in VR.

Sweet. I'm getting a score of 11, 12200 frames tested, and 0 and 0 also. GTX980ti and i7 6700k.

I did a quick mess of attempted OC, but it created throttling and shut down!

The only thing that did me any good (and didn't cripple my system) was a tighter fan profile using MSI Afterburner. You should try it.

The 1080 is only running in the 60's. If I do attempt some OC, I may need to boost the fans.

During the Steam VR test? You can run MSI Afterburner during, and watch the temps. One sweet piece of kit though.

I was aiming for a Fractal Design Define S/GTX1080 build myself, but ran into an offer I couldn't refuse.

Some bloke sold me an Acer Predator G6-710 with beefed hardware and 5 year extended warranty at half price... He needed the cash and I couldn't say no.

Growing oddly fond of the quirky design as well. And I should be able to sell it again with a small profit in the near future if it strikes me.

During the Steam VR test?

I wasn't really paying attention. I reran the test a few times and these are the results:

Idle = 34 C, 139 MHz, 0 RPM
Gaming mode (100%) = 68 C, 1734 MHz, 1750 RPM, 15214 frames
OC Mode (102%) = 72 C, 1772 MHz, 1925 RPM, 15669 frames
Silent Mode (97%) = 65 C, 1696 MHz, 1600 RPM, 14860 frames

The fans kick on at about 59 C and ramp up. I couldn't hear them over the ambient noise.


It's funny how thier quality scale apparently stops at 11. I can hear it now:
Why not just make your scale max out at 10?
Ours goes to 11.

You've got an excellent (cool) card there. No need to mess with fan profiles me thinks. 72 degrees in OC Mode... You could mess around with it but why bother eh? Looks like you're getting the scores you need.
