Spoke with live chat the other day and they said it was in the advanced shipping stage and would definitely ship at midnight... Woke up the next day to a "we don't know when this item will be in stock" email :angry:

Escalated it a couple of times over the phone and eventually was told that they'll definitely have stock coming in on the 28th and mine would be allocated stock from that shipment, but I'll believe it when I see it!
Apparently they still have hundreds of open orders for this item and have been getting stock, but just never enough to fulfil them all. Fingers crossed yours is included in the next batch.

I'm in the same boat, would've given up ages ago if it wasn't such a bargain!

I have also been waiting on this since I ordered it when the HUKD listing went up!

I've kept my order open and not cancelled it, although I did recently order a EVGA 1080Ti SC Black Edition instead from Amazon after waiting so long, which arrived yesterday and runs perfectly with no coil whine.

After contacting support once a week for the past 6 - 7 weeks, I have had all sorts of lies from them, with promises on three occasions that they are DEFINITELY getting stock the next day and my order will DEFINITELY be shipped the next day, with a million assurances and yet nothing.

Then decided to order a 1080Ti Asus Rog Strix from Amazon Warehouse for about £640 and received a 1080Ti box with a 1060 inside (since all the Strix range look more or less the same) that someone must have sent back to them... that obviously got sent back. Cheeky buggers tried telling me if they gave me a partial refund of £132, I can keep the card. Because a beaten up, second-hand 1060 is really worth £508 lol... Idiots. Sent that straight back for a refund.

Luckily, with them messing up so much, I managed to get £50 in credit from their customer service and used this to pay for the EVGA 1080Ti SC Black Edition at just over what this Founders Edition costs.

Most other places are showing this product as 'End Of Life', so I really don't think Amazon will be getting anymore stock. If you want my advice, as soon as a decent card pops up for a decent price, buy it (and don't forget to complain to Amazon Live Chat and get some store credit for this inconvenience)!

Good luck to anyone still waiting for this.

Bummer.. Mine is still 29th July - 7th Aug, so hopefully theres some stock due.
Amazon support are pretty great, I'm sure if you complained enough they'd let you order an equivalent card for the same price.

/edit
Changed to 16th-23rd Aug... Complained and they changed my shipping to expedited and said it would be prioritised to ship first when they got stock in...

My order has now changed to no expected delivery date

You've missed the boat a bit mate... They were selling for £450ish when this deal went up, but there are countless miner's cards on the market at the moment and you'll get closer to £350 now.

Me too... I've already sold my 1070! :grin:
If it does get cancelled I'll be kicking up an absolute stink with CS.

Thanks OP ordered this on the 4th. Still showing as delivery on the 24th to 28th of July. I do notice that it has since been removed from amazon. I hope it gets honoured and not cancelled :-(

Yeah I usually watch Gamers Nexus teardowns. I can't recall anything bad about any of the recent cards. The MSI Armour is the stand out garbage cooler to watch out for on a 1080 Ti but maybe there's other smaller things I'm missing from other board partners.

The founders edition is rock solid.
Never heard anything about poor quality components on any recent nVidia hardware. Just coil whine issues but that's an inherent issue with all cards and even some other devices (Dell XPS 13).



Is it worth doing any mining?
What sort of money do you walk away with on such power hungry cards?

This is a really nice GPU, really quiet including under load which I wasn't expecting but dumps more hot air than me!

Google nicehash, converting bitcoins to £ is the tricky/expensive part unless you do it in £100s.

The more casual use of mining became allot less enticing as the profitability has halved over the last month.

The way it is more efficient for dedicated mining rigs vs a gaming PC is that a gaming PC uses around 150w without the graphics card. On a mining rig I put 6 graphics cards into it so a fair bit of the power overhead is gone.

Well in regards to mining I'm getting ~£3 a day from each 1080ti after electricity costs. It's very risky at the moment as shown by it being closer to £6 a day last month but it's like investing in the markets don't invest what you can't afford to lose.

I went from a 770 to a gtx 1060 and the difference is quite big actually. Watch dogs 2 the 1060 could get it real nice but not full settings at 1080p. The gtx 770 couldnt do that.

Also ghost recon wildlands the gtx1060 struggles. I'm sure there's other games too. This is more for 4k and maxing all games out completely.

You can watch card tear downs on YouTube to see the components. It's completely put me off Asus and gigabyte cards. Msi seem to be a bit better from what I remember .

signed up to say thanks for highlighting this, just ordered (got a 2-3 delay in it arriving but hey ho)

They honoured the two I ordered, one was on Prime Now so I got in in only a few hours. They're both mining excellently.

No problem here to help

So tempted but the crappy components that Nvidias partners use puts me off. I have a 1060 at the min but was gonna wait to amd hits to see if prices change a bit.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind if I ever lose all sense of self-respect and dignity and that was a choice that I might face.

Thank you, I'm glad that you got him to change that sentence.
I was a little disappointed that he didn't thank you properly, though.

people said the same thing when i bought the 8800gtx, but then Crysys was released then i was the only one that could play on high settings at around 40 fps.

I think when you work hard all year you deserve to treat yourself to a luxury item. I mean why go to Blackpool when you can go to Vegas not that's there anything wrong with blackpool just Vegas is better if you can afford it

lol the bog standard non ti GTX 1080 FE included in the Prime 20% warehouse deal is £610 2nd hand before the 20% off.

Always google any item included in the 20% Prime, some items cost less elsewhere, even with the 20% off :grin:

The same applies for buying a Tesco Finest sandwich over a bog standard Value one, right? Or a car, a bicycle, a house, anything material.

Choice is a fine thing.

Being pedantic doesn't help you. You understand the point I'm making.

Amazed people drop 600 notes on a gpu , what game even needs this power or is worth it, my 770 still plays most games at 1080p fine and it cost me 70 bob off ebay years ago.

Can you fit an ek water block on this since it's founders edition?

Generally always?

Of course it's down to the lottery, but the 1080ti is very much running at spec where AIB are concerned. Water/hybrid will ALWAYS perform better than air with all things being equal.

Numerous reviews (like GN) have demonstrated that elaborate PCB, trails, VRM or the number of 8-pin have little to no impact with the Ti. The chips themselves aren't binned either so there's no difference between low/top end, it's primarily just cooling

hotukdeals.com/dea…066

£641 for the EVGA SC2 in case anybody is interested.

How long is the warranty on this? Can't see it on the product page

Water cooling doesnt necessarily mean better overclocks. You might get a GPU on the board that just needs a lot of volts to reach higher clock speeds and those voltage levels might be out of the regular range allowed for the GPU.

Pascal is voltage limited which is why most cards play within +/-5%. Hybrid means better lower thermals and noise and more consistent boost clocks, seems FE will run 50deg under hybrid.

In short it'll outperform the AIB cards ruuning air.

Wouldn't you be better off just getting the strix as it has better lighting and the cost isnt much difference when getting the hybrid as well and saves a bit of hassle or is there a lot of performance gain to be made by using the hybrid kit

Having read up on this, I'm getting an FE and a hybrid kit.

Ordered one, also ordered a STRIX one (£666) and the FTW3 (£666).

Can't decide which I'm most interested in. From an OC perspective as with all 10 series cards there doesn't seem to be much difference in capabilities.

Msi seahawk down to £733 if you want a prepare watercooled option. It was £879 yesterday.

or custom water cool it like my 970 currently is :smile:

Grab one of these, put a NZXT G10/G12 on it and buy a used AIO. Low temps and better OC's. It cost me about £60 on top. £582.20 + £60 = £642.20 Water cooled!

Ordered this earlier was gonna put a HUKD in but decided not to as all 1080ti's seem to get cold

Awesome price... oO

Wooow!! This is

Hmm it's a LOT of cash but from what I've seen the best priced 1080TI by some margin and positively ideal for those with 4K displays. How is the founders edition compared to the aftermarket ones? I'd imagine as usual one fan on a card this powerful is far from ideal? And probably lowest clocked of the 1080TIs? Still think the founders edition cards look cool mind but is that worth £580...

Still voted hot for being the cheapest by a fair bit....

More price drops ready for before AMD VEGA hits end of this month

LOL... corrected!.. :stuck_out_tongue:

I want

For 4K gaming on a single GPU. Also the drop of pound against the dollar means the cards price is actually the same as previous generations but the exchange rate negatively effects spending power on products sold to UK distributors in dollars.

Excellent price. I paid £730 for mine on release.

Why are people paying so much for GPUs and RAM these days!?
Lets all boycott the prices and bring the market back to reality :stuck_out_tongue:

Never-the-less Good find longback2 :grin:

oO must be a miss-price.

Like the weather this is a scorcher!

Sweet, ordered. Probably gonna' stick the Hybrid AIO on it. :smile:

Edit - Cancelled the order now and went for the STRIX instead. :grin:

No, there's no such word.

This should go el scorcharooni, 3 weeks waiting tho if it even gets honored, still hot from me

MISS-PRICED?..
