1080ti has arrived, what should I expect?

So, I'm away from home and will be back on the 26, meanwhile my asus strix 1080ti has arrived home and in a couple of days the full ekwb waterblock and backplate will arrive too.

In my home rig i actually have 2x gtx 980 Overclocked and cooled with similar ekwb setup with max temp under full load of 36/38 degrees Celsius ( of course only one card is running the game in VR).

What kind of performance increase shall I expect compared to my actual setup? Consider that if the silicon god is favorable, i will be aiming at 2ghz boost at around 38/40 degrees Celsius max temp under full load.

I'm running an EVGA 1080Ti SC with i7 7700k and hitting constant 90fps everywhere I've driven and flown. There are dips at menu and instance transitions, but my SRV nausea is gone around structures and everything is smooth.

I'm using the default ULtra VR setting and haven't adjusted anything else. It looks amazing to me.

I should probably see how much overhead I have to adjust SS.

The 1080Ti is a great bit of silicon!

Thanks for the feedback,

I'm running a 4790k at 4.9ghz, and really like the chip (got lucky on the silicon lottery) does the 7th gen chip make that big of a difference?

This is the though im currently wrestling with as well.
Also got an i7 4790k, but can't overlock without random bluescreens or just simply loosing the ability to load windows.

I have decided to wait for the i7 8700 to be out with some new benchmarks.
The 7 series is a little long in the tooth now with the eight series just around the corner.

In am also curious to see how Ryzen settles in.

4790k at 4.9 is great! And it's totally stable

These 7th gen are a pretty mature part. Very reliable and seem to overclock well but I haven't dipped into it yet. I upgraded from an i5 4670k that I was running at 4.2

Just as TorTorden mentioned, the 6 core Coffee Lakes are right around the corner, I think it may be a good future proof move to wait for those for CPU upgrade.

AMD is getting good buzz too

The 1080Ti is a great GPU! You are going to love that for a few years.

Especially considering that coffee Lake and Kaby Lake will not be motherboard compatible.
Even though the pins in the socket are the same.

Reveal date announced August 21!
It's now thought that they will indeed be socket 1151. Several sites retracted the story...

Yeah I'm sick of Intel socket changes.

I honestly don't care.
I normally don't replace my hardware on an annual basis so a new mobo was always in the cards.
And thinking a CPU with more cores would run off the exact same chipset does sound a smidge naive.

Also the article mention the pci-e lanes.
Well for one. Comparing this line of cpu's against the threadripper is like comparing a Ford pickup truck
With this:

Ok the bottom level thread ripper is almost in the same price bracket, And yes it's definitely in my running for a new build. But I don't run trippel sli or need that kind of multithreaded power for work.

So a 95w six core with hyperthreading sounds fine to me.
