Upgraded GTX 970 to GTX 1080 (FE) - Initial Thoughts

No heat issues, but I haven't really had much play time this week.
I'll give the card a good workout this weekend and report back.
Still not sure whether I'll use MSI or native EVGA controls.  My mobo is an MSI m7 and I'm not terribly impressed by their management tools so far.

On a related note about SMP and LMP -

"And while Nvidia says SMP can yield “a 3x VR graphics performance improvement over previous generation GPUs”, the gains don’t matter if the tech isn’t built into VR games. So far we’ve only seen SMP built into a few tech demos, but it’s soon to get a potentially huge boost thanks to integration with Unreal Engine and Unity, the two biggest game engines and the primary tools used to create VR content.

Nvidia hasn’t said yet exactly when we’ll see SMP built into these two popular game engines, but the company notes that there’s already VR games being developed with the rendering tech, including Pool Nation VR, Everest VR, Obduction, Adrift, and Raw Data."
