Asus Maximus Extreme VIII will not detect new Aorus Extreme 1080Ti

They did

It is absolutely bizarre but now that I've confirmed two new cards work perfectly fine - it was definitely an issue isolated to the Gigabyte Card when used with my Motherboard/CPU - it's a shame that this can happen to consumers.

 

Thanks for posting your experience, this is good information to know

 

I've just found another case of the issue with identical hardware - https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?93853-Problem-with-GTX-1080-Ti
This person was lucky enough to have the card exchanged for a different brand by the store.

 

And another:

Amazing !!

 

Another couple of examples with the same issue:

Gigashit for a reason (they're shit).

 

who says its a gigabyte issue could be an issue with the asus board ive got 3 x asus boards under RMA atm that says thaey are not perfect (and only 1 gigabyte)

 

Yeah - I've no idea which part is to blame at this stage

 

Yeah and seems the problem is not isolated... so may just be a compatibility issue between these two models

 

Another two cases

This is so disappointing. I built a system last year with an Asus Maximus VIII Extreme and a Gigabyte WIndforce OC 1080. The combo works great! Had a time limited coupon for NewEgg and decided to purchase the Gigabyte Extreme Waterforce 1080ti as an upgrade.

The card arrived and wouldn't work. Undetected by the BIOS. I also jumped through all the hoops of driver removal tools, bios updates, bios rollbacks. At each step I also swapped the original Windforce card back in with zero issues. I couldn't figure it out and decided, card is probably DOA (no other systems at the house to test with). Replacement finally showed up two weeks later *side note, newegg can suck it. All excited, took my time, mounted the radiator, dialed in the dual power supply cables. With anticipation high, I fire up the machine "Display Port: No Signal Detected" - instant gut sinking feeling and lots of profanity.

Went through built in display port connection into bios, no card detected. Lots more profanity and just shut it down and walked away before having a HULK SMASH session.

So, here are another TWO cases of the Gigabyte Extreme 1080ti NOT working with the ASUS Maximums VIII Extreme. ​

 

Happy two month anniversary without an answer!

You going to buy gigashit ever again?

 

I don't expect an answer really from either vendor - it would have been outstanding for at least one of the two to reach out and investigate the issue but I know how the world works, for such an isolated issue between two rare components neither is likely to spend any resources on investigating - it's a race to the bottom.

 

Hey Shags,

Unfortunately, you are in a sense correct
I did forward the information on to the relevant people, such as our product designers, tech support, and driver developers

It seems that there were some similar cases across the world in other regions as well... however, I haven't seen any progress from our tech team in terms of looking for a solution...

I'm stuck in a similar position of not being able to really chase it up, and lacking the technical know how to try and devise a solution myself

 

Appreciate the honest follow up thank you

 

I wonder if the new bios would make a difference.

Improvements include:

4.Improved VGA cards and storage device compatibility

 

Thanks for the follow up mate!

I'm keen to see if this helps.
