Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Aorus Xtreme Review - The Best is Here

2017-04-10
today we're going to take a look at the GTX 1080 Ti from Oris which is gigabytes new spinoff brand that is their premium line of parts and is this gtx 1080i of premium graphics card well let's find out welcome back to tech yesterday and today we're going to take a look at the bend or a scratch card that's right so gigabyte bhindi gtx 1080p eyes they put them through the gauntlet processing and this is their best 1080 T eye out on the market at the moment now it has two eight pin connectors so it does provide a bit of extra power than a typical founders Edition card and it also has a much higher power limit of a hundred and fifty percent and now this does come into play when comparing it to the founders Edition card so first of all I'm going to show you guys some benchmarks and then we'll talk a lot more in depth about this graphics card you so as we could see from those benchmarks this GT X 1080 TI horas card was just absolutely killing it I was surprised with the numbers I was getting especially when I compare it to my 1080 TI that I have actually gone back and put in Excel or on and this Oris card is just beating that left right and center it is clearly a Bend card and it clearly does overclock higher I was able to get this thing to two point one two gigahertz on the core and then the memory went over 12 gigahertz effective and this just made for some extremely good benchmarking and also testing on when I was doing the games but one thing I will point out here is that power target of 150 percent it does come into play when benchmarking and when also playing games if you are an enthusiast overclocker and that's one thing I want to talk about I test these cards overclock because I want to test them for the enthusiast line of people that are looking to buy the scraps card and since the Auris card does come in 50 USD more expensive than the founders Edition cards people are going to look at why they should justify that extra $50 when they're purchasing a card like this and the first reason is those higher limits not only that you have the vrm to support those higher limits we've got a 12 plus 2 phase power design with FDM f fairchild MOSFETs here the six eight to three C's which are rated at 45 amps up to 135 degrees that's right these are the real deal when it comes to the MOSFETs then you've got surface mount angela bassett errs on both sides of the graphics card so on the rear it's cooled by the backplate and on the front it's cooled by the active cooling solution however for the chokes you've also got 12 r22 magic chokes there to provide just such clean and stable power to the core itself and then for the memory you've got two dedicated phases of their own and now moving on to the cooling solution this is where things even get better with this graphics card you've got a triple slot cooler so it is extremely large the cooler itself that's when I detach it from the actual PCB weighs in at over one kilogram and it's got three dedicated active fans on the front there which are PW controlled and they can have the ability to turn off when the graphics card is in idle you also have the ability to set custom fan profiles on this graphics card and it does remain quiet even with the custom fan profiles or at least it remains not as loud as some other solutions out there on the stock fan profiles and out-of-the-box settings this card overclock over 2 gigahertz on the core and the memory even has a little boost of its own and they were giving me scores similar to my founders Edition Mac's overclock in 3d fire strike which is incredible considering this thing is just whisper quiet out of the box and then when overclocked with a custom fan profile it's even not that loud either so I'll let you guys have a listen quickly as the temperatures this is where I was very impressed - I managed to get 64 degrees maximum temperatures after a good 30 minutes plus in heaven this is my typical benchmark for testing temperatures and this is what the active fan profile at 26 degrees ambience so perform just only a little bit behind the Exelero but keep in mind the Exelero is using some custom metal thermal paste there on the cooler to the actual card itself now there's actually some custom software included with the Auris card and it's actually needed in order to overclock better in my opinion with it having the ability to unlock the voltage and gain an extra 100 millivolts on the core so this is pretty crucial if you want to get out that extra stable overclock in my opinion as MSI Afterburner won't allow you to unlock the voltage as of yet maybe they'll release an update later though as for the software itself it was actually pretty good you also need this software to change the aura lighting on the graphics card itself or the RGB lighting they can switch in different modes from static to breathing to flashing and even to cycling through GPU temperatures but you will need an extra connector to do that I believe however on that note of the software you can save profiles you can also manually overclock and there are graphs to tell you what maximum temperatures and core speeds you've reached similar to After Burner except afterburner does include River tuna which is a really good software for live monitoring how your frames are performing and how your temperatures and power consumption is performing - and also the last part of the software is that you can pick from three different preset profiles that is silent gaming and overclocked modes and the overclocked mode itself is that mode that did perform really well out of the box and was getting speeds to my founders edition custom overclocked now to cover some last-minute things you do get two HDMI two out to the back you also get three display outs and a DVI out to also on the other side of the card there is an additional HDMI port there to support people who use VR and also want multi-monitor setups and the card itself includes they're pretty generous four year warranty considering how hard the power targets are and how high the power can sumption got and now it's conclusion time and this is where I'm going to make the main comparison to the gtx 980ti founders edition card which as I said before comes in around 50 USD cheaper than the Auris card or if you're in Australia comes in a hundred AUD cheaper and it performs a little bit worse the Auris card with the extra money that you're going to spend on it you are getting your money's worth in my opinion it is just one heck of a card it overclocks extremely well you're getting a bend card you're getting a cooler that remains really quiet and performs extremely well then you're getting software that actually works really well to to support that card and as we saw there the main component making this card perform better in 4k gaming benchmarks is that power target when I was benchmarking I quickly alt tab just check with River tuna statistics and I saw the power limit was going up to sometimes even 140 percent in games so that's a good 15 percent above the founders edition card and this in my opinion allows that GTX 1080p IRS to perform better than the founders Edition card in a lot of the benchmarks it was scoring around about a good 8 to 10 percent faster in a lot of these benchmarks I tested it first I was pretty surprised because I thought my Founders edition card was a pretty aggressive graphics card when I put the accelerator on there however the Auris card just blows that out of the water it's an extremely good graphics card and you've got that four year warranty to go with that and so you can just overclock it to kingdom come for the next four years and you won't have to worry so that extra money that you're spending is very justified in my opinion is an extremely good graphics card and I can recommend to pretty much anyone out there and also gigabyte asked me to test the copper backplate as well which they include on this card and it did get hot so it was absorbing Heat it's just when I put a biggest fan on there which is a really good fan I didn't notice the difference with temperatures dropping or increasing however I'll take your good bytes word for it I guess the engineers really know what they're doing because this graphics card was just one of the best graphics cards I've seen though keep in mind it is a three slot cooler so it is really large however it will perform really well for those enthusiasts or even the person who just wants to get an extreme the graphics card out of the box whack it in and get really good results so awesome job for Morris I'm really looking forward to what they'll do with their next line up of graphics card and whatnot and if you guys have any questions about the earth and be sure to drop a comment on section below and also let me know what you think of it North on that note don't forget to hit the like button and I will catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye and then even when overclock with a custom fan profile but you can save profiles you can open it
