I recently purchased 2 Asus 1080 Strix cards (The non over clocked version). They weren't bought from the same vendor or at the same time (Due to their limited availability currently). The goal is to run them in SLI, but just out of curiosity, I connected them one at a time to see how much of a performance deviation exists between them (because of the whole silicon lottery etc..).
The following information is straight out of the box (no overclocking or fiddling around yet)
Card 1:
No load temp = 40 C
GPU clock = 1607 MHz
Load temp (GTA V @ 4K with ultra settings) = 75 C, FPS ~ 50
Load GPU clock = 1770MHz
After this I replaced the card with the second one (In the same slot same cables etc...)
Card 2:
No load temp = 33 C
GPU clock = 1607 MHz
Load temp (GTA V @ 4K with ultra settings) = 63 C, FPS ~ 50
Load GPU clock = 1895MHz
1) So, is the first card just a bad card or did I get lucky with the second one? It definitely runs cooler. The temperatures were achieved with a custom fan profile.
2) Its just been a few days since I received the cards, so should I go ahead and return the first card?
3) Should I just return them both and wait for the OC edition?
Thanks in advance for any help
