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.

Should go hot it's a good price

​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.

Can't see a 1080 being cheaper than this, heat from me!

Been waiting for this, bought, thanks op!

I be all over this if I didn't have a freesync monitor

wow, this is an amazing deal... very tempting

thanks op. 4 way Sli ordered!

Fantastic deal, ordered. Shae about the cooler but unless you care about OC'ing (minimal gains) go for it

Struggling to find any decent reviews of this model. Anyone find anything I can quickly read up on?

It's really noise and heat I'm concerned about.

Just got one. I'm building my new righ and I had already a GTX 1070 (that I'm returning). Don't care to much about the heat as the case is full ATX size and I have 5x140mm fans so heat won't be an issue. To good to let it go.

Very good price. 10 series doesn't exactly run hot so the blower shouldn't be a massive issue.

just gutted my review card didnt arrive on time !
but if you can accept thats its a blower type and happy to run a custom fan curve to keep sound down and cooler then great!
should boost to 2.0Ghz but because pascal is so reliant on temps, it will flux a bit, but expect it to boost hgher then stated clocks.. just like every other pascal card!!!!!

and to help the water fans, i'll be sending a block off to alphacool to have a water block made, but that will be available in the new year .

btw, if your not after a blower fan! OCUK are doing deals on Gigabyte where you get a free Gigabyte PSU, on the higher end models of the 1070 and 1080 :smiley:

not to steal any thunder from the £500 insane deal but

£570 odd for the Windforce GTX 1080 for those put off by blower designs

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/black-friday-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1080-d5x-windforce3-8gb-gddr5x-vr-ready-graphics-card-2560-core-16

puts it in the price range of Reference/ other blower designs - but is a custom Board and triple fan design

As am I. I am building a new rig, so anything that gets me towards full parts the better. If the PSU was decent and you're getting a custom card then I would listen.

I'm unsure, the blower just seems to have insane value. I would be getting an MSI 1070 at £450 if not this card, I just can't see value in a 1080 above £500. I set £500 as the key price for me for 1080.

Sorry for not linking, they have sold out the allocation of free PSUs.
You could see the gift icon and click on it when viewing a card :disappointed:
Didn't expect them to go that quickly as it cane live yesterday

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_1080_Amp/26.html

That's not true at all, you can pull 10% more even on an OC'd version (AMP!)

ALL 1080's will hit 2.1Ghz in theory. Limiting factors of Boost 3.0 which is very trigger happy with thermal heat and power eff. Air coolers should see peak boost of 2.0Ghz and hold just under, water you'll hit a constant 2.1Ghz.

Nice marketing trick with Nvidia about boost speeds, they state the Worse possible case boost! AMD state the highest.

hope this helps

It's now out of stock, thanks OP!

Cracking deal many thanks OP

all thats remaining is
https://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1080-g1-gaming-8gb-gddr5x-vr-ready-graphics-card-2560-core-1695-mhz-gpu-1721-mh

for gigabyte based cards, same price as FE editions but custom board and triple fan

seems to be still in stock. i just ordered one

weird its out of stock now. i wonder if people are maybe cancelling orders or the are releasing more

+11.50 DPD postage.

hmm, just got an email from ebuyer after i paid saying they have stock issues.

What time did you place the order?

I placed mine and everything looks ok so far. However, I was worried that at the checkout when putting the delivery I saw all delivery options at 0£ cost. Weird. So far I see the order progressing, hope not nasty surprises ahead.

If you ordered and they confirmed and taken payment , then they owe you a card, OK might take sometime to get stock but they'll have to honour it. If not get trading standards in :smiley:
Kitguru posted a link at 11:40 odd which I'm guessing highlighted the deal a lot more. Was expected the card to be out of stock by 11 so either they had more or took a little more time then expected .
As a heads up to all that bought, the trade price of this card is £590 so you've got it cheaper then system builders like myself get it for

i suspect there might have been a glitch because someone Jamie200 reported is as being out of stock. I didn't spot that as i went straight to the page and ordered. i just assumed they maybe had released some more but maybe their website was playing up and it let me order when they didn't have any left.

The annoying thing now is that the email saying stock issues says to log in and select from the available choices, but when i log in there are no choices just a note about stock issues

Best to call up. Ordered and happy to wait for one to be delivered :smile: stick to your guns

The £0 delivery option aren't a problem. I had the same when I placed an order at 10:00 this morning. Just recieved the dispatch email (I selected delivery for tomorrow).

just spoke to them on the phone. They are not getting any more in so the only option was to cancel. Couldn't be bothered arguing so i let them cancel it.

Sorry to hear, system should of been set up better to catch that out :disappointed:

I ordered at 9:50 and mine has been dispatched for delivery on monday

Shipped to be delivered tomorrow. 26/11

Both of mine shipped - one to the girlfriends work (that she knows about) and the second to my office later in the week (which she doesn't!tee hee hee!)

Glad to hear their being dispatched. Just sorry I couldn't get a mini review out before the sale as this card was unknown , but seems ebuyer prices was spot on

Use your confirmation to get a price match from laptops direct maybe? http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1080-turbo-oc-8gb-graphics-card-gv-n1080ttoc-8gd/version.asp

Theres a dual fan version on france warehouse for £500 after conversion (using xe)

A 1070 for about £350, same place

2 Zotac 1070 at amazon uk warehouse , 1 triple / 1 dual fan for £320 (£325 with delivery)

Fury for about £235 at Amazon fr warehouse

Nano for about £235 at amazon uk.

All still inflated though personally.

Its OOS now

Are you talking about a dual fan 1080? What is the make and model because it doesn't appear to be there.

wtf nearly 600 bucks for a 1080? didn't the 980 cost around 400 when it was first released? why such a massive price increase?

Waiting to hear how the AMD 490 competes is not unwise, that could influence pricing of the 1080.

It's largely because the 10 series blows the already impressive 9 series out the water. It's not the typical incremental upgrade. They've gone all out on this range with a premium product. Speed, power efficiency, low noise.

AMD stated they weren't even going to try and compete at the high end this gen.

gutted i missed this absolute steal and when i order my 1070 for £400 today it will be on my mind and p*ssng me off

do yous think it will get sent

the usual price gouging and rip off Britain adds to it

Brexit and lack of competition from AMD.

Why is this still here. Expire. Out of stock

Sorry been to Footy with son, don't often get the chance. Sure it was Gigabyte, may have sold, although it stayed there for a while.

On amazon Uk warehouse MANY cards are priced 50% more expensive than new = more expensive even after 20% off (Fury for one) The Nano has been reduced yesterday though, but I decided against it, it has a bit more power, but it isn't worth it over the 480 / 1060 (I know it's size and all), 4GB ram and no hdmi 2.0 to name just a few. still a decent card, but way over priced.

The 1080 and 1070 are still to much for my liking even if they were discounted, the pound / lack of competition isn't helping.

Preferably I'd like a 1070 but would settle for a 1060 / 480 (if it was cheaper). Almost bought the 470 for £150 the other day from Scan, but thought it won't last long, not sure how short a time I'd like a filler card.

Sorry i got waffling

Edit: Just checked and it is gone, someone got it.

1070 at uk warehouse. For some reason the triple fan was only discounted by £80, but the dual fan was discounted by £85, but had delivery applied though.

Triple fan was £325 and Dual £320

If it had the game I may have got the Triple fan, but there was no mention, but stil ridiculous when you think about it, second hand goods at such high prices.

The thing with Amazon is they sell faulty goods (known faulty). When an item is returned faulty, it isn't written off or returned to manufacturer, it is placed back into warehouse stock, repeatedly if necessary, until someone reluctantly keeps.

What about a used 1070? Would you go for one of those?

think i'll wait till it drops below 200 :smile:

Waaaa I just bought a 1070 for £430 blower or not this price is ridiculous

Blimey mine just arrived! Delivery was supposed to be Monday but I'm not complaining! Thanks again Op! :sunglasses:

What would people think a 4 month old MSI GTX1070 gaming x is worth?

I actually could have bought the 1080 posted earlier, I had just started work (it was early) but thought it would be a waste of time, I still thought it was until that user posted, didn't realise anyone actually received, shame (huge shame for me)

But, yes I would take a 1070 dependant on price, I've seen them for a touch over £300 before. I'm not personally interested in Watchdogs 2, but it would add to the value (sale / trade) of the purchase bringing cost done.

That was the reason I almost went for the 470. I would actually play Hitman, despite not particularly liking the direction IO / Square are going.

After being stuck with the same tech for SOOOOO long, I thought they may actually bring something (either AMD or Nvidia) but it looks like Nvidia are going to continue milking.

I still can't tell if AMD are going to compete. I hope they have something comparable and competitive, but are simply waiting to both fine tune and target a two pronged attack, maximising the potential success of Zen. My fears however are that they have gone so far down this path they took and Nvidia have hobbled (or marketed / enhanced depending on your pint of view) so many games over the years that they have no way back. It has been a while, when Vega eventually comes, it will have to be cheap so that they can still profit when price cuts, or more powerful so that it can combat either 1080ti or even Volta, should Nvidia need it. Very late to the party and Nvidia have accrued even more profits in the mean time, than they would have just being way ahead.

I waffle a lot today

You don't want to ask me, I'd go cheaper than others.

Considering you had RX 470 (£150 - scan - dual fan) and RX 480 (Aria) (£150- scan- £165) I would go less, others are likely of the mindset that the average price is higher so would be more forgiving. Then factor in that it is 4 months old.

Really hoping that AMD can pull something out of the bag with the new GPU's. Paying a premium for a graphics card and then finding you need to pay extra for GSYNC is not my idea of fun. NVIDIA are taking the mick.

What good 1440p performance, but 4k is the aim nowdays.

Waffle over.

How does it work? Is it hot/noisy?? Sorry no review on the internet and mine doesn't arrive till Monday.

No problem :smiley: Well I'm really impressed with it so far, its the first blower style gpu i've had so I was expecting it to be really loud and hot...and it just isn't! Boosted to around 1860mhz out of the box and with a little overclocking in afterburner I put +200 on the core and the memory and looping the heaven benchmark it sits at 2050mhz and tops out at 72* with a custom fan curve. I haven't pushed it to its limit yet so I'm confident it can break the 2100mhz mark.
Its much quieter than I expected with the fan only really audible at around 60% - but I play with headphones on so it was never really an issue for me. Definitely seems a step up from the reference blower and for the price I can't fault it at all - smashing card so far!

Sorry that there wasn't a review of this card before it went on sale, was meant yo have received mine a good week before for review, still waiting .
The cooling is a lot more advanced then the Founders edition or versions based on reference design like KFA2, MSI aero etc .
Glad to hear the cards are running great and custom fan profiles are key !
Water block for this in about 2 odd months

Good stuff I'm just about to plug mine in.

PNY Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Graphics Card Founders Edition 8GB GDDR5X for £462.98 (Amazon UK + £4.75 delivery)

Graphics Card MSI GeForce GTX 1070 X Gaming (EUR 386.81 + Eur 6.70 = £334.069 delivered using XE.com)

There was a 1060 3GB for about £165 - £175, I forget exactly, but not really worth it for 3GB / hobbled edition - gone now

I forget the others, but they are gone now anyway, every now and then the pre-owned prices come up low, but it's just some new store trying to scam people (there was one listing stating that the price was used for marketing for a black Friday deal and to contact them before ordering. Now there are other copycat stores. less than a handful of fake reviews too)

Mine all setup now. Very pleased do far, can not notice any sound difference from my previous (allegedly quieter) 780.

waiting to receive both of mine tomorrow. currently using asus strix 970s in Sli so hoping that heat levels will remain the same (those cards are three fan but don't exhaust) for negligible noise increase.

I just received an email fro ebuyer with a free watchdogs 2 code from nvidia for this purchase! very pleasant surprise, deal just got better.

Yep, looks like ebuyer is one of nvidia's partners for the free copy http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/10series/watch-dogs-2-bundle/

WOW!! :smiley:

phenomenal. makes the card 450 really then :smiley: I knew buying 2 was a good move

First card has arrived. The packaging is certainly on the muted side, no claims to amazing performance or exciting features, and it has an interesting comment on the small print about the product containing lead, which is known to cause health problems in the state of California of all places. I assume that is only when the product is IN California, bit you never know with their crazy eco ideas.

I had an 1070 already purchased for my RIG, and I saw this one, pulled the trigger and so so happy with it. My goodness, what a monster card!!!!! Impresive, really impresive. Now I only need to do some tweaking to lower the fans when at full load....it works actually cooler than the FE, and the cooler works much better too dropping the temp. Best card and price ever.

Could you share the custom fan curve details? I'm new to this, so running it stock at the moment, but planning on downloading MSI Afterburner and start doing some minor OC. More really concerned about the temp and the fan working at a lower speed, any tips/help?

Yeah no problem - when you get afterburner up and running, go into the settings and on the tab with the temp/fan% graph you can select any custom fan profile you want. I'm currently running a 1:1 profile and thats working well so far - tops out at 72* in benchmarks and 60* when gaming (with a locked 60fps at 1440p) and hits a steady 2100mhz too :sunglasses:

minimum fan speed is 30% I think, and the gpu idles at 29* for me.

But you can always set a more aggressive fan curve if you want lower temps at the expense of noise - just see what suits you :smiley:

In stock. Ships from United States .. How long does it take to get to the UK? Not purchased from newegg before.

sorry ignore what I typed us import costs lots

This card or the EVGA 1080 for £430? Close call.

You wont receive anything this low for a long long time, not until the pound its above 1.5 on the exchange rate.
I will say, this card sold cheaper then distribution prices, which means Ebuyer was taking the hit on this, hence why it was such a good deal and sold out fast once word got around, within 30 mins of being posted up on large hardware news sites it was gone, and that was delayed as well as would of been gone first thing in the morning !

it's strange because I checked ebuyer first thing in the morning and was online all day. It somehow passed me by. No idea how I missed it :disappointed:

I've been playing with the first of my cards and to be honest the blower system is a bit noisy. anything above 60% fan is audible, but it seems to want to avoid doing this using the default profile which has lead to some underclock of the core instead (1683mhz). That said, it is performing on a par with how my 970 sli setup did ( I kept one of the 970s in place to emulate heat conditions).
Runs GTA5 with maximum everything (16xaa and 8x msaa) at 4k DSR at around 35 fps. hoping 2nd will scale this in sli to around 55.

Haven't tried over clocking it much yet but running fan at 100 is reminiscent of the old 5950 'dustbuster' noise - probably 37db or so.

Yes I've tried the fan on 100%. It sounds like my PC is taking off. Temps wise I've seen 80deg while gaming with GPU core at 100%.

@jediben

Yes I've tried the fan on 100%. It sounds like my PC is taking off. Temps wise I've seen 80deg while gaming with GPU core at 100%. The default settings are quiet though but......

Interesting you note it underclocks due to temps...I didn't know this. What controls this underclocking. Does it happen after a certain temp? According to the official site this should be reaching 1797mhz in "OC" mode. I presume this is something I can enable in the software.

In theory now, as the pixel density is too great, but if its on a 70" 4k TV then yes as density is less and pixels are larger.
Also setting AF to max in Nvidia control panel in global settings offers better quality then enabling in-game :smiley:

70oC seems a bit low. Where did you read that?

Was in a review when it first came out, as the temp increases its efficiency decreases and Pascal is more about power eff then performance .

Reason why Overclocking is different from 9** to 1***. Before you could set your limit and it would pretty much run at it, now it'll only run at your max whilst temps are idle for it- block your fans off and you'll notice the card won't run your full overclock.

Custom Fan profiles are key as the chip will look at how much its meant to be running along with reading its temp and clock levels .

little experiment it leaving everything on stock but setting fan speed to 100% at any temp and bench etc etc

This is a really good article that outline the relation between temp and clock really well

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1080/29.html

Look on the internet for thermal throttle, and you'll see why that's happening to the card. The way to avoid that is put GPU at 110-120% in Afterburner, Temp at 92 degrees, and put some more aggresive fan curve.The stock setup is that the fan don't run over 55%, so it will get to the 82 degrees pretty fast under heavy load.

Witht the fan curve it will probably stay at 80 degrees or so, and your clock will be fixed at 1792 or so. I haven't tried overcloaking mine yet too much, but I've seen the effect already when running Mafia 3, max specs.

That said, Mafia 3 is not the best game to try your card as is optimized as ****.

2nd card arrived now. need to get a hb sli bridge :wink:

Yes so having 2 cards going along at 90% fan is ridiculous. I can hear it from outside...

That sli scaling though.... man I wish these were quieter...
Single card from yesterday, no overclock vs SLi today with a 350mhz memory and 100mhz core o/c
http://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/797687/spy/791264

http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/10927009/fs/10916844 - I'm downloading Watch_Dogs 2 at the same time and had a 970 dedicated to Physx last night so that explains the CPU drop.

Can you get temps on a single card under 70oC running the fan at 60 percent or less?

I shall try that using Fire Strike. Gimme a moment :wink:

Just remember 3D mark places more stress and heat then any game will.
Test on unigene Valley aswell, nvidia even throttle cards down when it detects its being run on 3D mark.

Water block will be done in 2 months time hopefully

Just been playing Max Payne 3 for a bit using the standard fan profile, max details and AA but 1440p. Both cards exceeded 75c and the fan didnt do more than 55%. Really suprised that this level of cooling was acceptable - I know they were a steal but it would have ben nice for the thing to stay within the standard throttling specification under the default profile ffs... :stuck_out_tongue:

just remember the FE sits at 85c when benching 3D Mark & 70-72c when gaming with 100% fan speed . So the Gigabyte is a mile stone for a blower design . Its just a shame they didn't take the old Turbo approach with a wider board that would of allowed them to cut the length down and adopt the ability to draw air in the top and underneath as well as having a larger heat sink.

Again they adopt the practice of cooling everything under the one active heatsink unlike other companies they stick a small heatsink on VRMs and how the airflow reaches it of midplates. Temps in this card will always be higher due to this, but all parts are properly cooled .
Pushed for reviews of this card before the sale but didn't make it in time :disappointed:
Hopefully a Bios update could help the card out

top man I shall give this new bios a spin later

Can't notice any tangible change due to new bios but I have to thank the OP for this deal. biggest saving I am likely to make in a long time.

Hi, have you tried to change the turbo fan for a Kraken g10 or similar type of AIO cooling solution bracket??

I'm thinking on it but don't know if it would be compatible or not as there is no info of PCB size and mounting point anywhere.

Any opinions???
