NVIDIA finally unveiled the highly anticipated GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition last week, but it has already started facing two major problems since its release.
One of the issues that came out after the release of the GeForce GTX 1080 was the difficulty of obtaining the GPU. Several reports claim that the product seemed to have been in short supply.
However, Tech Report revealed that there is only one direct source of the GeForce GTX 1080 online at the moment. This means that those who are interested to purchase the Pascal GPU can only get it from NVIDIA's official website for $699.
But for those who are willing to pay more to instantly get hold of NVIDIA's premiere GPU card, they can get one from eBay for around $899.99.
The GeForce GTX 1080 has become one of the most sought-after GPUs because of its unmatched graphics efficiency performance as a result of its Pascal architecture. It also has an 8GB GDDR5X frame buffer, and 10 Gbps memory speed.
But in spite of its powerful performance, the GeForce GTX 1080 is also reportedly experiencing problems regarding the unexplainable spinning of the fan, which could go up from 2000 RPM to 3000 RPM no matter the software or temperature.
NVIDA already addressed the fan revving issue through a statement posted on the official GeForce forums. According to NVIDIA customer care officer Manuel Guzman, they are already testing a driver fix to figure out what causes the fan issue. He reported that the "[d]river fix so far has passed internal testing. Fix will be part of our next driver release."
This means that the issue regarding the fan revving problems will be addressed right before NVIDA releases the more affordable GeForce GTX 1070 GPU card on Friday, June 10.
