Yesterday was £779.99, today dropped to £649.99. Very cheap for a 1080ti graphics card

The problem is there will always be something to wait for, best to get something whenever there's a good deal.

Odd isn't it. Amazon UK seem to be selling most models of the 1080Ti about £100+ cheaper than elsewhere and also £100+ cheaper than their European sites (.it, .fr etc).

About time. Overpriced as hell. Nvidia probably suspected something coming along too so shifting their prices

This exact card has been on my wish list, I might just wait for Black Friday though.

Voted hot, though I'd still opt for the EVGA Black @ £608, or the EVGA SC2 @ £641 (if RGB is important to you) purely because their warranty is the peak of the industry.
I don't trust MSI or ASUS warranty wise when compared to EVGA.

Great price, got one at launch for £720. Tip for anyone getting any of these factory overclocked 1080 Ti's: the power (amps) required for these is pretty crazy. Even though I have an 850w Corsair PSU, I was getting complete system shutdowns when running certain games. Very infrequent but after a few weeks I found a game that caused the issue repeatably at the same spot so was able to troubleshoot. Turned out because I was using a single PCI-E power cable with a splitter, I was triggering the 40A protection limit on my PSU when it's in multi-rail mode.
Switching to single rail mode may well have fixed it but preferring the protection of multi-rail, I just used 2 separate PCI-E power cables and that cured it right away. I also found this change stabilised the overclock so the card will happily sit above 2GHz now even when you're caning it 100% at 4k with everything on Ultra.

As you will likely just have dealt with these - what combination of power connectors does this card take? It's been a while since I upgraded and want to compare to my PSU - are they still using a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin sockets for power? Likely two connections for a top end card like this.

I have one running on a EVGA G2 650w with no issue. I am using 2 separate cables from the psu though.
Two 8pins. Or at least it is on the one I got from amazon.es .
Great card for the money. I'm actually hoping AMD manages to challenge it with Vega so we see real competition at the high end after all these years.

UK bought one is the same as lomax's - 2x 8-pin connectors.
Look up the exact specs of your power supply and make sure the 12v is capable of 40A+. Won't be an issue with a decent single-rail PSU but I guess some lower-end or older multi-rail only PSUs might fall short.
