How are you liking your new gpu Gerry? Have you monitored how hot your gpu runs while playing rf2? My Asus Strix gtx 1080 reaches 60-64 celsius. Fans are a bit noisier than with gtx 970. And I have suffered some coil whine while playing a manager game (probably high fps as I even had that with gtx 970 in rf2 menus)
Hi Matt,
My 1080 does seem to run hotter than my 970 did. I haven't monitored the card since I first installed it and was bench marking while trying to overclock.
The fans on my 970 were really loud when they ramped up to full speed. I can hardly hear the fans on the 1080, even at full speed! I think they are better fans or something.
I'm not really sure what coil whine is. I have seen it mentioned before in forums and reviews but I don't hear any whine noise that I can tell.
Over all I am really happy with the results, especially in RF2. I have got that so that it looks a lot better and runs a lot better too.
I am still trying to get a better look in PC2. The image seems to be really jagged and a lot of shimmering or weird flashing on surfaces a long distance away.
Like hay bails along a wall or the wall itself, trees, buildings. Lamp posts look like barber poles with a shadow or something making a moving helix down the length of the poles. I hope I can get it tweaked because it is somewhat distracting.
