Photo below shows old 8800 GTS card, which I had some 10 years ago.

This is not a new trick, we saw it years ago on cards like GeForce 8800 GTS and GeForce 9600 GSO, and others. There is no much point to respin new PCB design, since both Titan X Pascal and GTX 1080 Ti have same package and essentially are same thing, just different configuration of active blocks. That’s happening because reuse of PCB from Titan X (Pascal) card. Interesting to see NVIDIA’s return on nerfing memory bus width by unpopulated memory chips on fully routed 384-bit memory bus on PCB. If you need more info – also check previous guides, linked above. Entry-level things, such as how to probe voltage/resistance with multimeter, what is trimpot and how to solder piece of wire, as these things were explained over the internet thousand times already and easy to google. No doubt, modifying your GFX for benchmarking and records require bit of above-minimal soldering skill knowledge and cold mind and sharp eye. Any RMA attempt of soldered card is easily diagnosed today and will be rejected. Anything below this paragraph in this article is NOT covered by any kind of warranty, and provided AS IS only for education purpose, without support from manufacturer or NVIDIA. If you card/system bursts in flames or just simply stop working, do not try to RMA it or expect a support from manufacturers. This is the baseline card, which we all get to know first before going any specific custom board designs.Īs usual, you are on your own alone, even when doing even little simple mod. Let’s study plain reference EVGA GTX 1080 Ti which is also called “founders edition”. EVGA GTX 680 Classified – Uncorking guide.Using Raspberry Pi to control your VGA VRM.Reference GTX 1080/1070 – Uncorking Pascal.This guide is evolution of my usual “uncork series”, with all good traditions set by previous guides: Image 1-2: Introduction to GTX 1080 Ti GFX overclocking

Fair bit extra voltage might help reaching higher performance marvels. There is no much benefit doing all this for watercooling or aircooling, but required when GPU is frozen to chilly -196☌.

This is not another GTX 1080 Ti review, but a extreme overclocking modding guide.
