[PConline evaluation] Today, we finally ushered in the evaluation of the most expensive non-public GTX1080Ti graphics card ASUS ROG-POSEIDON-GTX1080TI-P11G-GAMING (the name is really long), this price is up to 10,000 still sold out What is the charm of the video card in the end? Today we have come to announce!

ASUS ROG POSEIDON GTX1080TI P11G GAMING Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview

10,000 yuan commercial highest price of 1080Ti, feng shui dual-use, eye-catching dreams of disappointing eyes!

As ASUS ROG-POSEIDON-GTX1080TI-P11G-GAMING is really too long, we still call it as follows: ASUS GTX1080Ti Haishen strike (POSEIDON is the ancient Greek mythology Haishen name)! Overall, this card does not use the three-fan design common in the market for high-end graphics cards. Instead, it uses two large-diameter dual-fan designs. It also looks rather low-key in appearance, with a black shroud and silver-gray metal. Armored decoration, full of sense of technology! The lower left corner is the name of POSEIDON, and the upper right corner is the eyes of ROG. Belief is full!

The backplane is rather similar to the ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING that we reviewed before, but it is also a conspicuous ROG LOGO RGB light with black lines on the backplane. In addition, it is printed on the ASUS/POSEIDON's Logo.

The size of the whole card is 290×137×50mm, which is close to the size of the three-fan graphics card, but the overall view is still short. This size determines that it can basically be compatible with most of the current chassis.

The external power supply is 8+8Pin, which is 2Pin more than the public version, helping the high frequency.

Attentive friends will also find that there are more than two plugs on the top cooling module. That's right! This is used to connect water-cooled parts, and this is also the most unique place of this card, Feng Shui dual-use, there will be detailed explanation and test!

I/O ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon made some improvements on the basis of the public version, adding a DVI-D interface and changing one of the DP interfaces to the HDMI interface, which is more friendly to VR devices.

As the ROG's top flagship product, the lamp is absolutely indispensable. The ASUS software developed by Asustek can perform a variety of lighting effects adjustments for ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon, supporting 16.8 million colors.

The most show is the top of this huge RGB eye of the prodigal eyes, the use of mirrors to create a fantastic vision of the principle, at first glance looks like there are countless eyes of defeat, the moment of faith full value, almost no solution!

In addition, there is also a huge ROG disappointment eye on the backboard, which is synchronized with the top lighting effect!

After reading the lights, let's look at the specifications again.

ASUS GTX1080Ti Neptune Parameter Comparison

Specifications: ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon machine default to the game mode, the frequency is 1595-1709MHz, 114MHz higher than the public version; overclocking mode even more, the frequency up to 1620-1734MHz; of course, the biggest difference is still up to 10,000 yuan in the price On the other hand, it is 3600 yuan more directly than other non-public products of AIC. When the author saw this price, he also shouted incrediblely.

But after looking closely, I discovered the clues; originally, with the ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon also comes with a ROG MAXIMUS IX APEX motherboard (worth 3299 yuan), the equivalent of board packaged into a package sold, after browsing several e-commerce platform found this Cards are not only sold, they are all sold with the motherboard in a packaged form! Rao is so, ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon was sold out, it really is priceless beliefs, can only say ASUS good way!

Let's take a look at the dismantling.

10+2 phase SAP II super alloy power supply design, patented dust-proof fan, high automation process guarantee

Dismantling is still more troublesome, after all, the flagship product, fixed with a lot of screws, in addition to a pile of screws on the back plate, there are two screws on the I / O bezel.

The biggest difference between the heat dissipation and past products is the adoption of a new generation of DirectCU H2O hybrid heat dissipation design, which can be air-cooled or water-cooled, respecting high-end user demands!

At the same time, a patented IP5X dust fan is used to provide greater airflow for longer fan life.

In addition, the inlet and outlet ports for water-cooled accessories, introduced in the previous section, are fitted with standard G1/4-inch terminals and are matched to most water-cooled heads on the market, allowing users to customize the water circuit.

There are also pins commonly found on ASUS high-end graphics cards, such as Aura Sync RGB pins on the end of the PCB to help achieve lamp synchronization; also equipped with fan headers to allow chassis fans to pass through the second-generation ASUS FanConnect technology. GPU and CPU temperature operation optimize heat dissipation and reduce noise.

Power supply uses 10+2 phase SAP II super alloy power supply design to enhance overall reliability while significantly increasing performance, reducing power consumption, and improving heat dissipation. Full plate automated process technology is used in the production process, which can reduce the uncertainty of traditional manual production lines, ensure that the graphics card has a consistent high stability, and can also improve the performance and service life of the graphics card. This production process technology is not only green and environmental, but also can reduce harmful chemical substances and effectively reduce energy consumption.

The core code is GP102-350-K1 A1, GDDR5X memory chips, single capacity 1GB, a total of 11, 11G memory capacity, memory bandwidth 352Bit, bandwidth 502GB/s!

Next, we look at the performance that everyone is most concerned about.

Test Platform Description: The test platform is a mainstream consumer platform Z270+i7 7700K. A total of six graphics cards were selected for comparison testing. The driver is the latest A/N graphics driver. (In order to optimize the form, the following table named Chung Shuo ROG-POSEIDON-GTX1080TI-P11G-GAMING is abbreviated as ASUS GTX1080Ti.)

3DMark theory test

In addition to the two FireStrike Ultra & Extreme tests that we commonly use, 3DMark Theory Test adds 3DMark's latest DirectX 12 benchmark for game PCs, Time Spy, to provide a more comprehensive reference for everyone.

Theoretical test summary: In terms of comprehensive 3DMark theoretical performance results, the performance of ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon is about 7% higher than that of the public version, benefiting from high frequency, and the performance is very good!

Let's look at how it behaves in the game.

Game performance test

The future is undoubtedly the world of DX12. In this test, we selected 6 representative DX12 game masterpieces. Among them, there are many native killer 6s, Tomb Raider 10, and Warhammer: Total War support DX12. "Outbreak: Human Breaking" and the latest "Phantom Operation: Wilderness" and later "Blockade" for DX12.

Test summary: In terms of actual gaming experience, ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon's performance can be said to be very pleasing. The average number of frames exceeds the public version of 3-10 frames (depending on the game), and the overall experience has reached a level to meet 4K and below. The highest resolution quality of all game requirements is definitely no problem! There must be room for further improvement if you carefully compare and tune!

Platform power test

In order to get closer to the real scenes of players' daily applications and at the same time more fully understand the power consumption of the Asus GTX1080Ti Poseidon, we will measure the power consumption of the platform in three scenarios: 3DMark stress tester, game copy machine, and standby.

Power consumption test summary: As the clock frequency pulled up as much as 114MHz, ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon power consumption than the public version of the increase is more obvious, the game power consumption to 425W, higher than the public version of 81W, copy machine power consumption Higher than the public version of 65W, go to 390W, standby power consumption is similar, the overall point of view, a 600W power supply can still meet its needs, but we look at the choice of power supply when you look at +12V output power, this Card full power consumption should be in the early 300W.

Video card temperature test

In order to test the temperature limit of the radiator under air cooling, we used the 3DMark stress test to test.

It can be seen that the Asus GTX1080Ti Poseidon can only reach the maximum temperature of 75°C when only using air cooling, and it can only be said that the performance is relatively normal. (Because many non-public 1080Ti can press the full load temperature below 70 °C), this is probably related to the hollow waterway inside the radiator (the thermal conductivity will decrease if it is not in water); but don't forget The biggest highlight of this card is dual use of feng shui. After connecting to the water, it's not Level!

As shown in the figure, we have used a Bitspwer's 240 cold row and water pump, and then paired with two white bats to access the Asus GTX1080Ti Poseidon to form a water-cooled cooling system. Let's take a look at the temperature performance of the full-scale copy machine at this time.

Test Summary: With the water-cooled heat sink connected at room temperature of 26°C, the maximum temperature of the ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon is 47°C, which in any case does not exceed 50°C. This also leads to the two fans that are always on the ground. The state can be said to be very powerful!

Card noise test

Here we measure the fan noise when the noise test card runs 3DMark stress test at full load.

Test summary: The fan noise was 53 decibels when the machine was dubbed. It was very quiet, especially after the water-cooled cooling component was connected. The fan did not turn and was basically equal to no noise.

About noise:
0 - 20 db: very quiet, almost imperceptible; 20 -40 db: quiet, like whisper; 40 - 60 db: normal general indoor conversation; 60 - 70 db: noisy: denervated; 70 -90 db: Very noisy, nerve cells are damaged. 90 -100 db: Intensified noise, impaired hearing; 100 - 120 db: Unbearable, one minute or temporary deafness. 120 decibels or more: Extremely paralyzed or fully paralyzed; 300 decibels or more or more: Irreversible deafness for people with a radius of 20 km.
