GTX 1080 Ti with PCI-e 2.0

My first thought was "That's pretty amazing considering the 8% lower clock speed on the older platform." But I imagine actual gaming (game dependent, of course) will be a whole 'nother ball of wax. I don't have experience with Firestrike, but it doesn't look to focus much on the CPU from those results.
 
And that's synthetic... not gaming...

Could be more, could be less...

Agreed! =D

I don't have video of my X58 system running 1070 at 1080p in BF1.

Here is a similar system running BF1 at 1440p on ultra settings with a 1070 and an X5660 @ 3.6GHz (4.0GHz is doable in your sleep for most of them). I saw FPS dip down to 58 at one point. The GPU showing consistant 99% load with no throttling. Keep in mind that BF1 makes good use of the 6c/12t CPU, where a lot of games do not.

 
I did these tests on my machine (top) and my son's (bottom) with the same 1070. It isn't nearly as bad as you would think. I lose 6% to an 6700K clocked at 4.6GHz.

Would be even more with a faster GPU too, just a thought.
 
Yall Still doing a lot better talking about 1080 going on that's a Monster...I come back here and got just the 1060 going and finally effective cooling solution's haha
 
Get it around 5Ghz and I'd rock it. I'd bet its still shaving a couple % off the top though.. but it depends on the title and settings.
 
This is a good video that will answer your questions about older CPUs. Using a Titan X (Maxwell). I like this one because it shows frame times.

 
saw this video as well, shows that the the newer CPUs have less of an advantage on 1440p vs 1080p

 
Pretty known.. higher the res, the less effect on a cpu.. however... try that with a 1080, 30% faster, and I wonder where we are at...
 
In the video I posted the thing that struck me was that the overall FPS weren't that far apart. On the surface the older CPU's look to be good, however when you look at the frametime graph on the right side, there were definitely some spikes that could (will?) show up during game play as stutter.

With my Sandy Bridge last year I never had stutter in any game, although I was using Vsync.

and all system my x5660 @4200 /w1080ti my 6850k /w1080tiu and mister deadsmiley result w/1070 in a 4 part compare

before saying a 10 years old system is bad ... well yeah its old but nothing as changed much really ... and runing a 1080ti on gen2 pcie is JUST FINE!



should inform people enough :)

Good work! :thup:
 
Good work! :thup:

u2 :p thanks for those 1070 benchy;s needed them in comparison for a customer.

just tested witcher 3 @4k .

about 5fps less on the x5660 @full details with hairworks down a notch.

go for it OP . its worth it 100%
 
Hi guys

I have an old system, namely an Intel i7-980X overclocked at 4Ghz with HT on, a Nvidia GTX 980ti overclocked at 1444 Mhz on core and 3860 Mhz on memory, both watercooled.
Also my system has 24GB of RAM, DDR3 at 1600 Mhz, and I'm also using a HyperX 240GB PCIex SSD.

I've posted 2 videos on Youtube, with in-game benchmarks for Hitman 2016 and Deus Ex - Mankind Divided.

Hitman benchmark:

Deus Ex benchmark:

Both games run well on my system on High/Ultra settings at 2560 x 1440 resolution at 60 Hz with V-Sync on.

I believe that a GTX 1080ti will crush these games at 1440p on my old system. I might not get 144 FPS, but I think I would get 80-100 FPS.

I'm sorry if I'm a noob, but I just wanted to share my benchmarks for reference.
