ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080TI Unboxing & Benchmarking (part 2)



So as promised I'm back with the benchmarks(a bit late mind you). So first things first. All benchmarks were run on a clean install and running all ye basic apps you expect to find at a user(drivers, HW specific software, AntiVirus and steam/uplay(depending on the game). My idea was to simulate not a synthetic clean performance but that of a normal user.

Ok so moving on let me give you some short info on how the benchmarking was done. All games were run at 4k with maximum details with AA off. at 1440p and 1080p AA was on. The only exception to the rule is Deus Ex Mankind Divided which for some reason with AA on even at 1080p had some very low frames. And since we're looking towards the future, where a game had DX12 as an option the tests were done in DX12. All tests were run 3 times and I made an average of them. So off with the talk and on with the charts!





Due to the nature of the game and DRM at 1440p and 1080p the cpu was bottlenecking the game.

I ran the "Through Mud and Blood" mission right until the post-artillery barrage cutscene. I find it quite stable and full of effects to stress test the game.

This game keeps being a GPU killer.(at 4k for some reason I've mistaken avg with max)


Ran the Nurburgring map with worst weather effects and maximum number of cars. 2 laps for each test.

Notice a drop in performance at lower resolutions due to activating the AA

An average of all the map tests the game benchmarks

Another GPU killer
Not a very successful game but good enough for a RTS Benchmark.




So overall the performance is decent and well if you game at 4k it's not really worth investing in a more expensive CPU since the GPU will be the bottleneck. But if you want 1440p 120hz or 1080p 144hz then a better CPU is worth it. oh well, overall in my opinion the 1080ti is not really a 4k card as it can't maintain a straight 60fps at max details. But that's just my opinion. So I hope you find this benchmark useful and as always I await your opinions! Cheers!

Edit: Why would reviewing it be useful? Well most likely with the new volta/ampere launching in the near future there will be more and more 1080Ti's filling the second hand market and some might jump for them since usually they get way cheaper. Or some might still buy them now as they're still very solid(supposedly you find one for a decent price).
