Fantastic price for this GPU, apparently limited to 200 for Black Friday.

The card is not base don Reference design!!!!!
has more VRMs and is well designed, not going to chase fire like EVGA
the cooler is also completely different to reference design, yes there will be sound, its a blower style card! but should run cooler then FE or KFA2 cards! Youtube FE 1080 cooler reviews and it'll get a feel for the sound of the card
reference waterblocks will not work with the card as a heads up!
wish to highlight Gigabyte Have their RMA center in the UK and card has 3 year warranty !!!!!

Saw this, shame about being a single fan blower.

Why is that a problem, noise or heating issue?

Oh well. If you know your graphics card you know it's a good price. Anyone who doesn't like the blower can easily replace it with a waterblock. The premium is for the chipset. They'll all be sold out by this morning (assuming if the OP is right about only 200 in stock).
Gut feeling says none else is going to offer a GTX 1080 with a 4 at the start. And the GTX 1080 ti is said to be priced in the £800-1000 range meaning 1080's price will not be affected. Especially as the new AMD Vega's have been delayed until almost a year from now. We'll see though.

Generally blowers are not as efficient as the twin or triple cooler designs,as long as you've got a reasonable sized case. Blowers are better for multi gpu setups or small cases where getting heat out of the case is the biggest concern.

You will not find a 1080 for this price. the only hope is that the Ti knocks the price of the 1080 down, however, this is starting to look less likely. You can get fan versions around the £570 mark. For me, I purchased, as a 1080 for 500 IMHO is a great price. You can always hold and return if no deals appear Monday.

I am in the same boat but the power of the 1080 should stop most stutters anyway
