You mean apart from yesterday when I posted the same deal?

FE is £582, not £650.

Same. It travelled from France like that...

not to make you feel worse but it won't be any easier, this is also a reference PCB just custom cooler.

(oh and i did swap my order from FE to this hehe)

mine just changed to preparing for dispatch with an estimated delivery time of tomorrow. ordered on the 10th and using the student10 code so was under £600. Great price to be honest.

Mine is "shipping today" YAY my new pc has been waiting for this

(going to custom loop it once i get my graphics card)

Mine arrived via a 'white van' courier and was indeed just a shipping label stuck on the exposed box.

Late reply but i'm guessing yes, mine has tracked via Royal Mail which amuses me. They'll send a couple of bottles of shampoo in a huge box next day delivery with excess packaging, they send a £600 gpu and it's tracked Royal Mail. I ordered a £1300 lens last week, arrived and there was just a shipping label attached to the lens box itself nice and visible for all to see. Grrr.

That's Boost 3.0 you're describing correctly. Was just pointing out they can run hot and louder than I for one was used to. The Zotac I came from is probably about 1/3 bigger than the 1080ti.

I don't know a lot about these cards but I think they overclock automatically based on temperature, voltage regulation and power draw etc. I was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider the other day at absolute max graphics (everything to the right, exceeding the ultra preset) at 2560x1440 2x SSAA and it was hitting about 75 degrees at clock speeds somewhere in the lines of 18XX (core) and 55XX (memory).

mine says "preparing for dispatch" does that mean it's shipping today?

Quite a hot card compared to my 1080 amp extreme. It was up to 73 deg last night playing PUBG (1440P, Ultra) for a few hours, stock speeds.

Can definitely hear the fans though I was using a custom curve.

Mine is now listed as shipping today, woohoo :smiley:

Mine is sat inside my machine :smiley:

Mine is still awaiting stock, also ordered on the 9th but at the time it was showing a July 26 - 1st Aug delivery date.

Me too. Ordered on the 9th.

Mine is out for delivery today.

Same :'( I've changed the delivery to expedited, and noticed that too. Initially I thought maybe it's the equivalent of re-ordering, and I was placed at the back of the queue.

Gone from an estimated delivery time, to 'we'll email you when in stock'. Still, fantastic deal! I purchased one around a month ago at RRP. Great card.

Depends if you like the blower style FE fans and appearance, you can usually squeeze a little extra juice out of the aftermarket ones due to them running cooler and boosting more because of Nvidia GPU boost

and it is selling for £740 after conversion on Amazon.it.

I really don't understand Amazon's UK pricing on the 1080ti's. Most of them are £100 cheaper than RRP/elsewhere.

Not sure 25quid xtra even when this card is cool on its own and nothing can make it heat up to 1440p ultra ?

It was £90, I'll sell my old one for £50 so we've only spent £40... The kids school projects will look great!

That's my story anyway, and I'm sticking to it.

I don't see any way a card of this size is fitting in there. Even if it did your PSU is going to be struggling and then there's also the thermal throttling you're going to experience.

TLDR, strip out your components, drop them in to a NZXT S340/Corsair/Fractal case, enjoy a PC that performs better :smiley:

This review also suggests your CPU is suffering a lot in that case, freeing it up and cooling it properly will give you much greater performance.

This worth the extra for that cooling IMO

I was about to buy MSI 1080 but it's only 45 GBP less than this beast and it's via Amazon so i went for it. So much money for GPU. My wife is going to kill me lol. Thanks OP

This or FE 1080ti for 585?

Unless the game is single core dependant like Iracing, and in VR.

do you know if this card will fit and play okay on my asus g20 pc I have a 4k monitor my specs for my pc are Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz
16GB RAM + 2TB HDD
DVD Writer + 128GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
Windows 10 Home 64bit

I ordered in the morning yesterday.

Weird. No idea why EU stick is fulfilling all of the orders. Never known that before.

France, Italy, any other takers?

Barely use my ftw 1080 but still like to daydream about having the latest and greatest. Great price though.

So i've ordered this today (1pm ish) ,people that are already having your orders dispatched when did you order?

My order dispatched today from Italy.

If it's via DPD or similar they should be able to issue instruction for it to be returned from the depot.

Absolutely correct. I've got the MSI 1080 ti 11g partnered with an OC 6600k running at 4.4. I've seen some lab tests and the 6600 k is just as fast at gaming as the i7 7700k.
These days the cpu is becoming increasingly marginalised when using powerhouse gpu. I game at 4K always everything on ultra and the TI doesn't even have to work hard at all. I do have a lot of noctua cooling though.
My advice for gamers is to save money on your CPU and GP for an I5. The i7 is a waste of money with gaming. Forget the new amd Chips as you don't need all those cores for gaming.
Also if you aren't gaming at 4K the ti is a waste of money. But at least you are future proofed

Tried to cancel the Asus card I ordered but it was too far along apparently. Amazon have said I can refuse the parcel tho and it'll be refunded so gone ahead and ordered the EVGA, 10% saving is worth the little bit of hassle

Whats your lecky bill like lol

Crypto mining is not profitable from what I've been reading recently. It would be better in invest what you can't afford to lose in the currencies themselves, more risk, more possible reward or failure.

I wouldn't buy it if you can't afford it yet I would wait till you have saved up a bit more who knows the prices might come down even more on black Friday deals or before. the fury is still a very good card for now. I'm going to have to put in some serious overtime this month to afford mine.

Thanks for explaining, appreciated.

1080Ti mining:
http://cryptoyeti.com/evga-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-sc-black-edition-gaming-review/

If it helps you I sold my Nitro Fury 4 weeks ago on eBay for £275 via auction, bought for £299 from OCUK a year prior.

Fury is OK for mining ETH but is really only equivalent to 480/580 when factoring increased TDP. The HBM memory and interface isn't optimal for mining.

If you value the resale of the card, I'd sell (as I did) before the 480/580 come back in to stock, the price will drop further. Right now people are building mining rigs using CF Fury as they can't get RX cards.

Your CPU is fine, and gaming wise I think you'd be 4/5 years out of a Ti if you needed to.

At 4K you are barely if ever really limited by the CPU.

I can pull good frame rates on the 1080ti I have with a 3330s in it even.

Heated a very good deal. Seriously considering whether I should upgrade from my current R9 Fury to this, as it does seem a great deal for a 1080ti and the 1080ti would be better for my 4K display. Just I haven't had the Fury long (amazon warehouse deal) and the resale on them seems a bit poor and variable atm (anything from under £200 to £300 on ebay), I'm guessing the Fury isn't a good mining card? as it doesn't seem to have enjoyed anything like the price explosion the 480 and 580s have. If I got £300 for the Fury I could probably manage the other £300 or so for this, but any less and I'd be REALLY struggling to afford it.

BTW is the i7 3770 (non K) a decent pairing for this card?, or would it hold it back too much to really stretch it's legs?

Would be an amazing performance bump for potentially £300 though, very very tricky decision.....

Mine is due Wednesday, ordered yesterday. Already shipped from France.

I honestly want to know how they can sell them this cheap.

Mine is due on Saturday too hopefully they get it all shipped quickly.

Preparing for dispatch and arriving Saturday now :smiley:

Nothing really at memory or chip level (it's the same), only really cooling differs which impacts thermals and ultimately determines how the boost clock reacts to the card temperature. Better cooling means more stable boost clock and better OC.

With the price of this being so close to the FE I wouldn't bother with the FE. If it were this card or a £666 Strix or FTW3 (ignoring the SC2 deal I also posted yesterday at £641) I'd go with the FE personally, I'd then hybrid cool it down the line. But it's all personal preference of course.

What's the difference between the ti and the founders edition? I thought both were 11gb

Not sure RE heat and noise, haven't seen a direct comparison, but (I say this as an Asus Croashair 6 owner) EVGA's warranty and after sales is enough to make me a customer, Asus, not so much. A month turn around versus 3 days for EVGA...

Unless you have a particular need for it, I'd go for the FTW3 card if you want RGB etc.

I like The FanConnect feature on the Asus also run a little cooler and quiter but yes I agree the difference in these cards are very small at least I can sell my fury now for more than I payed for it in December thanks to the miners

10% more cost for no performance increase?

Benefit of this is it uses reference PCB from what I've read (in the case of 1080's, no bad thing) and that means you can slap a Hybrid AIO or EK block on it in the future to drive it a bit harder.

Either way though, decent price.

Can you please close the door on the way out, adults are talking here. ha ha

Wish I could warrant that kind of cash for my computer... worth more than my car :laughing:

I'm more of a EVGA zealot nowadays, never had trouble with Asus though should be a very solid card.

Well in regards to them dispatching early mines estimated for Saturday.

Also just return the strix if you want to save some money, they shouldn't charge you until it's dispatched.

If that's the case I'll take 20.

If I carry on I'll trip all my breakers by drawing too much power.

If this is true will be very hard to get any stock of vega
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6lz1q6/vega_owners_club/djxpnhn/

Conversion costs like £4.00 and energy is mostly offset with my solar panels, especially during the day for obvious reasons.

Let's snowball a hypothetical gaming system that mines on the side, let's go with 2x 1080ti at the current rate it would make around ~0.004BTC which is worth ~£8 that system over 24H uses 18KWH of electricity let's say 14p per KWH £2.52 in power cost.

So overall £8-£2.52 = £5.42 a day for that system.

Bare in mind that Cypto can and has crashed many times before and I've only being doing this as a hobby/investment with money I can more than afford to lose.

37MH/S Eth with FE. But Vega is amazing for Monero, like SERIOUSLY profitable.

Can't be much profit in that once you factor conversion and energy costs?

And yet again I regret going for a freesync monitor.

Vega needs to hurry up.

Been selling my GPU power on nVidia side with a program so which pays in BTC getting ~0.002BTC a day per card.

Also have them drawing ~200W per card.

Damm tried to cancel the Asus strix bought yesterday to get this for cheaper but to late there dispatching it. the estimated arival time was the end of the month so these cards look like they are dispatching earlier than estimated. Just hope the vega don't turn out to be a beast of a card now

Which currency and what hash rate with a Ti?

Knowing AMD the Vega will need a lot of watts.

I Use GPUs to mine for crypto currencies.

I'm one of the reasons you can't buy a RX 580.

You mean except for the fact Vega FE is highly competitive against the 1080GTX (and Ti) pending the price point.

If they can hit £500 they have a solid product based on Reddit benches and so on.

Don't fight about it, they're only toys

If they didn't limit how many I could order I'd have ordered 6, alas I dont want to be that guy who creates 20 amazon accounts.

Hell a new 1080ti under £620 I'd buy more any day.

There needs to be competition, there's no evidence yet that AMD have a competitive product in Vega, so we'll see when Vega arrives, if it's the usual AMD hype which it's now veering towards then Nvidia won't be pressed to release anything too soon and carry on milking the 1070 and 1080 line because AMD doesn't compete in that sector yet.

I have R9 270 GPU so I'm not biased against AMD.

Can't personally see the 2070 beating the 1080ti and Volta is still months away.

Personally I just upgrade every time a new ti comes along, hasn't caused me regret so far.

I wonder if the gtx 2070 will offer similar performance? there's talk of hardware based dx12 stuff and better asynchronous compute. Obviously Nvidia will bump the price, so I bet it will cost 450-500 RRP. Wait or buy this?

The 2nd one was ordered on prime now which made itself to me that very day. Must be a good way to get around one per household rules by the looks.

Will look more carefully in future so there's no need for you to conduct ICMB testing from your shed.

Bought this. Still pondering if I actually need it. Damn site. Now left stressing how this component makes the rest of my system seem ancient!

I didn't get to order this one when it came up last time.

I did get two of the founders at £582 on Friday though so there is that which was one day before you put it one here incidentally.

Also my shed may be small but It now contains 5 1080tis.

I've got a bigger shed than this pretender, that's all that matters.

Jokes aside, if you want this (as the OP will know...) I'd order before 9am.

Yesterday the same price changed at exactly 02:30am and reverted back to £699.99 at around 9am.

Well done uzukami - great spot

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Great price op!
