SLI / Crossfire support is abysmal and DX12 games require the developer to code multi GPU support. Frame pacing issues and also lack of support at launch of a game.

A single GPU is ALWAYS better than two for games.

You're so bad at trolling nobody even replied, consider this a pity reply. Please work on your material. 0/10

Whilst I still think this kind of money on a graphics card is entering the realms of insanity, if you absolutely must, this is about the cheapest it's been...

yup. an absolute bargain. 575 quid.

Got a generic response email today which didn't include a dispatch date.

Thanks. It is totally variable depending on who you get- had one say they may never get it it which is ridiculous as they have never had it in stock to start with, one saying end of July, one end of august and a few who could not give me an estimate. Will be interested to hear if you could get a better estimate though .

I contacted Amazon asking when to expect the item to be dispatched. The CS rep said they will contact the product department for the due date of stock and then they will email me the estimated dispatch date.

2nd for me too so hopefully we will hear something soon!

I ordered on 2nd July but haven't contacted Amazon about when I will get it. If you ordered on the 3rd July and it's being dispatched on the 25th then mine should also dispatch on the 25th or earlier.

Same as mine then. Did try to contact Amazon to get an estimate today but the assistant wasn't very easy.

The 1080 Ti will be released before you get this :smile:

Oh nice! Is that showing on your my orders page? I'm not getting anything on mine yet sadly but I'm OK waiting a few more weeks- been waiting for Pascal since Christmas when I built my VR rig and got a vive waiting under my bed

Yes there is, check above. Mine is due to be dispatched on July 25.

Wow that's extortionate now. Still no update on stock/delivery yet

Good news - the listing is now for the amp extreme on Amazon and price now up £125 since we ordered :smiley:

I jumped on the boat late and got it pre-ordered at 621 the day after they updated the price (still a good price though, only a few quids more vs RRP).

I asked their support twice about potential delivery but they couldn't give me any date. :disappointed:

Just saw its changed back and happy re the date with a bit of luck we will hear soon

Cool... I have had this on order for while and the zotac 1070 which has shipment date for next week. In two minds which one I will keep.

"I have checked for this item and we have received the update from our supplier for this item and the item will be available back to us on 25 July, 2016 and this is the maximum I request you to wait for this item, however you will receive the order as soon as possible without fail. Also you will receive the confirmation email for this order without fail before that date."

So with any luck, it's due to be delivered on my birthday, July 26 :smiley:

They've fixed the images, they now show the ZT-P10800B-10P (Amp! Extreme).

£600-£280 (or £224 exvat) = £320 (£376) So with a difference of £320 between 2x rx 480's vs 1x 1080...I can't see how you wouldn't find that a better solution and no, not all games are a nightmare with crossfire or SLi. Most work just fine as are seen via benchmarks.

The photo in the order details still shows the 3 fan AMP! Extreme model.

Yes just noticed this also, will check with amazon again but they did say we will get amp extreme- also the other product still aslo has the standard amp picture

Product image has changed but model number is still Amp! Extreme

Let us know if anyone receives theirs from Amazon :smiley:

Thinking about this comment further. Would you actually pay £440 quid even if it *did* sometimes trade blows with the 1080, but then sometimes traded blows with the 970? The 1080 is not £300 more, you can pick one up for £575 right now, and that's in super low supply.

Not to mention, double the power supply, twice the headache of crossfire, just for one game?

Full review of the card now available:

http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/zotac_gtx_1080_amp_extreme_review,1.html

no..i can't see the £300+ 1060 being as powerful as the 2x (£149) RX 480 cards that are close to the power of 1x 1080...

Good to know, thanks :-D .

I have the AMP! Extreme on pre-order, and also the EVGA FTW. I'll happily take whichever one they have in stock first (although would prefer the Zotac).

You can't see the GTX 1060 being as good?
Keep up with the leaks please, lol...

its expensive as shajt, but i think its a decent [email protected] card

I can't comment on Crossfire but I've been pretty happy with SLI support tbh. I went from two 980s in SLI to two 1080s in SLI on that basis. NVIDIA seem pretty good in general with driver updates for game launches so really I've only had a 'wait' once in a while for the games I've played. Power is down from the previous cards and I've water-cooled for years to solve heat and noise issues. Have to say I thought the 1080 was pretty quiet though (on air).
Obviously I'm nuts but a happy kind of nuts :smiley:

Spoke to Amazon customer services yesterday pm. Confirmed we will get the Amp! Extreme edition.


Greetings from Amazon.co.uk Customer Service.

Further to your email received, I understand your concern regarding the item "Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series 8 GB GDDR5X Graphics Card - Black".

To serve you better, I've checked and can confirm that you'll receive the item with the ASIN : B01GCAVSIO.

Please be assured, you'll received the item with the model ZT-P10800B-10P.

Furthermore, I have already escalated this issue to our concern team. So that whenever this item will be listed on website. You will be the first one to receive notification via email.

HEat and power are of no interest to most of us who already build around this and due to 1x rx 480 being £125 for me (ex-vat) and being more powerful than the GTX 970, 2X 480 for under £250 is fine. I can't see the 1060 being as good since the 1080 is barely surpassing this build and Nvidia will probably hit the market with the 1060 at over £200. IF they go £150 like AMD, I'll be shocked but still wait for benchmarks.

I've been thinking that by the time we see prices of the 1080 hit the mark they were 'supposed to be' (MSRP), we'll be getting leaks and rumours of the Titan and Titanium GP102.

Ordered the AMP extreme edition for £580 and it got changed to the AMP edition the next day contacted amazon about it

"Hello Plox,

I am sorry for the misunderstanding caused to you.

I have checked your order (order number) and our website and see that both item ´ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme Edition' and 'ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Edition' is Temporarily out of stock.

Once the item will available you will receive ´ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme Edition'."

was the reply i got if anyone else was in the same boat.

Reviews I've seen have the single GTX 1080 ahead in most game benchmarks.
Also, the GTX 1060 is due for release in a few days, leaks suggest GTX 980 performance at a very similar price to the RX480.
Still, a single powerful card is ALWAYS better than 2 weaker cards, as not only are you relying on good crossfire/SLI support, you also have higher power consumption, more heat and more noise with multiple cards.

Aw ****. Looks like they've realised their mistake. They've changed the picture to the Amp and have the Amp Extreme at £621.78. Still cheaper than everywhere else though.

Great stuff. Thanks. Also, if the price goes up, do Amazon tend to honour these deals..? With every other website having these at £650+ I've a feeling this price will go up before long.

there might be a way to flash the ram on the 4gb card to 8gb

why not wait until the aftermarket version were out tho?

All that have ordered hope you are aware this beat of a card is 2.5 bays and almost 33cm long. Also heavy card so reinforced pci-e slot recommended. Was a stocker of a deal if it comes good.

Announcement from nivida tomorrow I am hoping for some lower prices soon. Standard edition not founders as said when 1080 was announced. All those sli rx480's it appears that sli is disabled in VR so that totally switched me off to that setup let alone all the other issues.

At this rate it'll be after the 1080ti arrives :stuck_out_tongue:

Agreed. It was a pathetic attempt at trolling:

When it ships.

When do Amazon take payment if I order this..? Do they do it now or when it's shipped..?

Nvidia is the only game in town for this level of performance, but this isn't that bad a deal really for what is the fastest of the fastest right now. I think I would rather see the GTX1070 partner models closer to £350, probably won't before mid August

I am actually considering that... thinking of getting an xbox one s anyway just for the uhd drive to with the TV which will be my main summer purchase.

You're so bad at trolling nobody even replied, consider this a pity reply. Please work on your material. 0/10

bargain i will take 10

Not!

Two 480s are not faster than a 1080 in pretty much every thing I see, apart from synthetic benchmarks which are meaningless in real world. Real world gaming shows the 1080s, bog standard 1080s, eating them up.

Seeing this go hot only after the deal has expired is pretty depressing!

Im waiting for the GTX 4k

Lot of tosh.... Get yourself a Console for gaming :wink:

maxmix

1 1080 will be better than 2 480s. Sli and xfire are still crap even in 2016 mate lol

You will also need to swap out your PSU for a small nuclear power station to run them.

But will my eye be able to see that many frames per second? Will I get an eye hemorrhage due to performance overload?

Expired as price now up to £620 sadly- all the other sites have also price gouged the price up overnight- OCUK is now about £680 and Ebuyer which was £612 is now in the same region too.

Good luck to anyone who got in on the deal- I got my order in for £550 including my student discount so will be interested to see if it turns up. The other zotac card (the one with the amp pictures and model number) stayed the same price so im now pretty sure we got the Amp Extreme.

Yes, your frame rates will be over 9000 with this card.

I'm currently play Phoenix (Amstar Arcade Game) on Mame should I put £600+ down on this card, will it make my gaming experience better?

It's not way cheaper than the 970, just this week the 970 was going for 179.00 while the 480 was going for 173.99.

The 1070 is double the card a 480 is, I wouldn't suggest double 480s to anyone.

It's a joke that the 480 can *only* be compared to last gen's mid range card, that says a ton.

Where on earth did you see the 1070 was 'expected' to be 220? That's cheaper, in the UK, than the 970 was 2 weeks ago (before release).

Don't doubt it. As I said the quick of mind can processor frame rate changes to around 150 fps. Beyond that and it's largely pointless unless your seeking to up the average fps.

I used to play quake 3 semi competitively; I used to remove all candy and tweak the configuration to minimise what was being drawn so as to enable me to identify moving characters from static objects. The fps average with the configuration file using the q3 benchmark hit over 300 fps - largely thanks to the **** graphics configuration.

When you're getting up to around the +100 fps mark other things start to take over importance more than an increase in the frame rate. Latency of the display screen, mouse, keyboard are all more important.

While aussies get them for sub £500!!! https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/255857 *burning*

VAT kills it

now £621

Got my 1080 the other day and I really love it. Every game now ultra settings by default. Battlefront and Doom look particularly great.

Not really. It trades blows with the range of cards from the GTX 970 - GTX 1080 and faster on some tests but it doesn't always take advantage from games yet. For me, RX 480 is way cheaper than the GTX 970 that it beats for a single card otherwise, if the 1070 was £220 as expected instead of over £350 (UK rip off) I'd go with that.

Ignoring the weights, the product dimensions on the extreme link clearly show a card thats longer, wider, and thicker :O

Not this again! Every time a monitor comes out with a higher refresh rate, someone picks an arbitrary number that humans apparently cannot see beyond. If you've not yet tried high framerate gaming.. give it a try! You'd be amazed the difference you can easily perceive from 60 to 100, and from 100 to 144.

I'm aware of the model numbers but it's the description which makes me doubt. On the ZT-P10800B-10P (AMP Extreme) it says that the box containts normal AMP and it's weight is lower than the ZT-P10800C-10P (normal AMP) which I think is incorrect as the Extreme should be heavier. I'm so confused now :smile:

Nice try, but:

Thanks ordered 10 for eBay

ZT-P10800C-10P is the AMP (1683/1822)
ZT-P10800B-10P is the AMP Extreme (1771/1911)

Look at the image I posted 6 above yours :smiley:

Ps4 is £250.

Cue all the angry PC fanbois

Please let us know as I also wanted to order it but no idea which one is the Amp Extreme

Yep the "outperforms a GTX 1080" claim was on ashes of singularity only, a heavily AMD favored game

No where on the internet is making this claim anymore.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/RX_480_CrossFire/

Dual 480 are trading blows with the 1070.

And that's ignoring the plethora of games that are not supported yet.

cool

Just spoke to a pretty useless amazon adviser trying to confirm this is the amp extreme for sure. He didnt know there was even more than one model of zotac card despite me sending in the difference model numbers and descriptions to him gah. Will try the phone line later today. Amazon did say 1-2 weeks till they had it in stock to me.

The Amazon page states ZT-P10800B-10P as the model, which is the AMP Extreme.

I'll be annoyed if I don't get the AMP Extreme.

Regarding delivery, Amazon just told me:

"I am unsure of a date to advise really, however I do see that we have a high enough demand for the item, therefore it should be back in stock soon.

I would rather not provide any false information, and as I cannot determine a date for the item to be available, I can only estimate that it should be back in stock by the middle of July.

Just to advise, it very well may be possible that this item may not be back in stock until the beginning of August.

I say this as I am not sure what date we ran out of stock.

If you feel by the middle of July that the order is taking too long, you do have every right to cancel it, and you can do so yourself or by contacting Amazon."

This is an excellent price for one of the fastest GTX 1080s.

It's £655 on Overclockers UK!

You got 2 480's for £275? Sure you did pal.

Its a good price if true, but the real trick with these is actually finding them in stock rather than a vague promise to supply at some point. Some are still waiting for amazon to supply those G1 gaming cards they sold for £559 now over a month ago.

It says at the bottom of the page:-

1 x Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Graphics Card
Driver CD
User Manual
Dual 6-Pin to 4x2-Pin Power Cable

It does not say 1 x Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme Graphics Card

Amazon have mixed up the descriptions, part numbers, pictures and prices on the Zotac 1080 & 1070. I have ordered what I think is a 1070 Extreme but I'm not convinced I will get the extreme version. I will return it if it is the wrong version.

They human eye and brain can only process to distinction a maximum of around ~115 fps so beyond that (120hz) every frame drawn is a frame wasted (some say it's 150fps but when I went to uni they said 115). I get the more frames the higher the average but honestly, anyone that needs that high a Base for gaming is probably doing competitions and if they are they shouldn't be playing with eye candy on; far easier to hit a high Base clock and make distinction in objects by turning off the fx and playing with essentially block and colour seperation. Any old 7950 or 780ti can do this.

Not voted but honestly can't think why anyone would want one of these for the price. Too powerful for 1440p gaming and 4k is quite frankly pointless. Not worth £600 on a price per frame graph.

Erm... wrong. The clwims are roughly coreect for xfire sypported titles https://youtu.be/cVVJPbFRDEc

voted cold because its OOS and by time you might even get it, you will probably have been ok adding the extra to get a few months earlier

​Cool. Thank you. So in reality he meant he saved a little over 200 not anywhere near 300 :laughing:
I'm looking for the 8gb 480 so will have to keep hunting. That's a great price for a 4gb though.

If you have a lower budget it's much better to get the Zotac GTX 1070 Amp Extreme 8GB card @ £389 and OC it rather than 2x RX 480 4GB reference cards for £348 and end up with crossfire headaches.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/zotac-geforce-gtx-1070-amp-extreme-389-amazon-2472215

Two 480s are not faster than a single GTX 1080. They are not even faster than a single 1070 in a lot of situations, You can read further @ http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/07/amd-rx-480-crossfire-vs-nvidia-gtx-1080-ashes/
It was an equivalent of a click bait when they said it on stage, if you look closer all they really ment is that in this one scenario, using these particular settings, in this one game two 480s 8GB and overclocked can perform better than a single 1080. Single game.

Be prepared to wait a long time for this. I ordered a 1080 SC from amazon on the 2nd June and they have estimated 7th August for dispatch.

Also the 2 mid range cards over 1 high end card is nothing new. Same stuff every release but I'd rather eat my foot than use two GPUs.

Most likely these:

http://www.ebuyer.com/751840-xfx-amd-radeon-rx-480-4gb-gddr5-hdmi-3x-displayport-pci-e-graphics-rx-480m4bfa6

Just ordered 2x RX480's....Around the same or higher power than 1x GTX 1080 at nearly £300 cheaper.

just edge out scan on price

out of stock

Model number is also for the amp edition nice find
