Asus strix gtx 1080 overclock almost null
Table of contents:
The Asus Strix GeForce GTX 1080 was one of the most promising custom GTX 1080s thanks to its prodigious DirectCU 3 heatsink and robust 10-phase DIGI + VRM, early testing of this card has shown almost zero overclocking capabilities.
ASUS STRIX GTX 1080 shows negligible overclocking ability
The Asus Strix GeForce GTX 1080 uses two power connectors with one being 8-pin and the other 6-pin, this added to its VRM made it think of great possibilities for overclocking. However, the first tests reveal that its Pascal GP106 core is only capable of overclocking 2, 045 MHz, so it is below the 2.1 GHz that Nvidia showed in the presentation of the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition.
GeForce GTX 1080 first reviews
The problem is that the GPU voltage is limited to 1.25V and when approaching this value the card becomes unstable making it impossible to significantly increase its clock speed. The only way to overcome this barrier has been the use of liquid nitrogen that allows reaching a frequency of 2, 400 MHz.
On the other hand, the GDDR5X memory of the Asus Strix GeForce GTX 1080 does offer a very good behavior with overclocking and allows it to reach a speed of 5, 600 MHz, which translates into an effective frequency of 11.2 GHz.
We will have to wait for the modified BIOS to be able to raise the voltage of Pascal GP104 and be able to reach high levels of overclocking.
