Question 1

When will this be in stock again? I'm really wanting the Gtx 1080 card before One Piece Burning Blood comes to Steam!

Accepted Answer

One just came in. Someone else snatched it up while I was typing my PayPal password. >:-(. This 1080 launch is super frustrating.

Question 2

Does this support windows 10 64 bit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A modern video card supports modern operating systems.

Question 3

Is Displayport 1.4 backwards compatible with Displayport 1.2? Can I plug Displayport 1.2 cable from GTX 1080 to XF270HU Monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes it's backwards compatible.  It will work with pretty much any monitor.

Question 4

For the listed core clocks and boosted clocks , Do I need to install an MSI 3rd party software to use those? I would like to just install the nvidia default drivers and be done with and not fiddling around with the clocks.  If I just use the basic nvidia drivers  what boosted clocks would I hit?

Accepted Answer

No software is not needed to run at the advertise core clock and boost clock.
The above holds true for any NVidia Video Card.

To increase the core clock and boost clock you need 3rd party software which is OVERCLOCKING.

Question 5

Do you have to use both power inputs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this cards required both inputs to run stable.

Question 6

Does doing a clean install of the graphics drivers remove overclock / factory overclock?

Accepted Answer

By default these are clocked a little higher than stock but it's so minor is not a issue.  Overclock is controlled by the gaming app,  if you want the settings without the app then you can flash the bios from the manufacturers website to either oc mode or gaming/silent

Question 7

Still waiting for this video card to be in stock again so I can buy one...... Feels like Auto-Notify does not work at all, having checked my email consistently for the past couple of days or so..... Any idea on when it would be in stock?

Accepted Answer

From what I have seen there seems to be a stock issue, nothing to do with newegg though I dont think. Board partners seem to be very slow to actually get these out on the market. Whether it is an actual supply issue where they just cant get enough or a marketing plan of some sorts I have no idea.

Question 8

Is there any coil whine under high fps gaming sessions?

Accepted Answer

Not at all but when there is nothing going on in my analog headset (game muted on desktop) I hear the same coil whine I heard on my 970 without the headset (standing next to it). It's weird but not noticeable at all in game or if you have any sound going on.

So basically yes, but no. It's not a problem at all.

Question 9

I've been waiting for the msi twinfrizr to be sold but they are supose to be around 599.99 since its the msrp one. Im just gonna wait till it drops to 629.99 or lower in a couple of days or week. But the question is. How long do i have to wait? O.o

Accepted Answer

I think you're misusing the "MSRP".
Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price.
So each version of the 1080, MSI, Twinfrozr, or otherwise.. They each and all have their own different MSRP.
Currently, this card's MSRP is $719.99 and the $599.99 MSRP you're thinking of is probably the Day One Founder's Edition cards, which were only in stock for pre-orders, I believe.

Hell, a lot of people are just waiting for this to be sold at MSRP $719.99 instead of buying it from Third Party Sellers for 9 $900 to $1500.

Question 10

I'm new to PCs as I just bought mine not too long ago. I have an MSI RX 580 4GB graphics card at the moment. It only requires one 8-pin PCI connecter. I also have the MSI Z370-A PRO motherboard. I know this graphics card requires an 8-pin connector and a 6-pin connector. What do I need to do to my PC to make it able to accommodate this GTX 1080?

Accepted Answer

You should be good to go but it's been over year and since I had the card one thing make sure your power supply is over 650 Watts.
