COLORFUL iGame GTX 1080 Ti KUDAN Review

Testing platform & methodology

Starting from this review we are going to share the exact settings used for each card. Because no custom RX Vega is used in this review, we decided to use Turbo mode rather than Balanced. This should give a better comparison with other custom models.

New method of presenting data

Simple bar charts were replaced with more sophisticated time-based graphs, which will not only tell you the maximum, 1% low and average values but also the actual value at each stage of the test.

Under each graph, you will find four metrics: maximum, average, 1% low and delta. Those should be self-explanatory, but I will only mention 1% low is based on the 1% of the lowest values. This means that benchmark glitches, such as sudden performance spikes, should be eliminated from equations. Finally, the delta will tell what’s the difference between MAX and MIN values (the absolute values). This is a very interesting metric for clock speed or GPU temperatures. Pay attention to the labels on the Y axis. Some charts will start from 0 (like frame-rate charts), but some will start from minimum values (like GPU temperatures or clock speeds). This is important to give you a better visual presentation of the data we collected.
