I ordered a new CPU and mainboard so I wonder how much this will change. One of the reasons why I play a lot with this at the moment :)
I got an improved score with just driver updates (no screenshot of that), but overclock gave me as follows:
Edit: Good tip with the fan speed. With 75% Fan speed, +150 core, +150 Mem:
i can't get my core higher, it will start throwing random colors at the screen :D
managed to improve a bit though. core +125, mem +200
This time I got a max of 61°C and my result raised to 2969 :D
Why is the default fan control so ineffective when the card gets a utilization of 100%?
Quick run stock, Mesa 17.3.3 :O
Bests my overclocked 1080 in this :O
I dare say someone will point out any errors :D
Running a Skull Canyon NUC6i7KYK with ZOTAC nvidia 1080Ti connected to Razer Core v2 via Thunderbolt 3 running Ubuntu MATE 18.04 daily.
+200mhz core / +800mhz memory
It's positively ancient (CPU from 2007!) with a modern low-mid tier GPU. Runs pretty much as can be expected - better than Xpander with the same GPU and a Ryzen! It's actually pretty competent for games.
CPU is not stock though, it's overclocked to 4.4GHz:

Similarly, the GPU is overclocked as well:
@pete910 please update the leaderboard :)
I recently upgraded from my old AMD FX 8350 to a Ryzen 1800X. GPU is still the same. Also I now have a new Kernel + Mesa, compared to the old result. Why it shows two GPus lol - I don't know.
Old (for reference):
New result:

All updated !
