The founder’s addition, whatever that means :). I’ll find some kind of benchmark scene and test it, but it will not be until tomorrow.
yeah some versions are faster, i on purpose took the zotac, which supposedly is the fastest 1080 and best cooling
Founder edition is better if you have stacked cards and small cases as it blows the hot air straight out in stead of down on the next card
How so? arent the fans in the same place basically? mine is the zotac 1080 amp extreme edition
That’s good to know because I had to rub oil on mine to get them to fit :).
I get my stuff from Best Buy, so I can maintain my Elite status. All Ebay had was the Founders Addition, which is made by NVIDIA.
i got the zotac from ebay
I was getting confused with all the difference flavors. I went safe with the Best Buy one. Plus, with being an Elite member, the return policy is awesome. This weekend, I purchased a dashcam for my son, with my reward points :).
Dash cam? o he is afrikan american:) dont leave home without it:)
…
yeah, if you live in the usa, don’t leave home without it
its always better to have more, i will order a few more 1080 myself, maybe 2 more, another huge benefit of gpu rendering though is your able to work on other things meanwhile you render, i love that, with cpu render, your pc is basically usely
No, they are not common in the states. I think Russia and Germany has a lot, but it is still pretty rear here. My son is 12 and watches a lot of dash cam youtube.
What kind of PSU do you guys have to run so many power-hungry cards in one box. I have one Titan X in my workstation and I think I’ve used up all the remaining power cables.
Do you have liquid cooling? It must get pretty hot in there.
Nice! that’s an $800 card right? have you thought about getting a Titan X. The Titans series are the only graphics cards that AutoDesk Certified with the same level of qualification as the Quadros. You can probably get a Titan X Maxwell that performs almost identical with more vram for the same for that price or less on eBay.

Edit: Autodesk classifies the Titans as Professional Graphics Cards. So AD cant bitch about using a “consumer graphic card” when u hit them up with a support ticket.
The card was $800. I really don’t think it matters much, for my workflow, to really get serious until I can get a couple 24GB cards for a good price. All the optimizing for GPU is giving me flashbacks to optimizing for CPU. My longest Render times for interior or exterior are around 2 hours, so I’m good with CPU renderings. I had do dig for power, for my 1080, but it was laying under other things. I thought I was screwed and I was going to remove the 980ti, but after digging, I found power. I think that I’m maxed out on everything, so I better be content for a couple years. I have invested $10 grand this year, so far.
i have a 850 W, can runa few cards
There’s nothing wrong with adding another, GPU specific PSU anyway, right? If it’s not plugged into a motherboard you can just jumper it.
