Despite my elation in my Aorus Xtreme despatching the same day I have ordered, I got an email later informing me that I may or may not have got the wrong card due to a booking error in the warehouse :(

I had cancelled my preorder for the Zotac AE after this dispatched, so would be a bit rubbish if I'm now at the back of the queue of the cards I want!

Had the same issue (mine was delivered today and noticed it wasn't Xtreme) so ordered another one to make sure I get it this week. I'll deal with the return/refund of the delivered one tomorrow. Good luck, I hope yours is the right one.

@Gibbo does OCUK allow cooler removal on the Founders Edition whilst retaining warranty?

Yes as long as you cause no physical damage then no issue with cooler removal on OcUK cards which are generally Manli and KFA2 typically.

Thanks for the info, have just ordered. Will wait and see how loud the cooler is, if it's too loud I'll look at putting the AIO Evga cooler on it off my Titan :)

I too had the wrong Gigabyte card shipped and received the standard one not the XTreme. I ended up driving down to OC and swapping it personally making sure i got my delivery back. I wasnt waiting for the card to be collected checked and then having to wait for another one shipped. I think most who were in this batch of XTremes got the wrong card. not very good if you ask me.

Looks like my Aorus Xtreme that I ordered is actually an Aorus, so will have to return.

Annoyingly I've now lost my place for the Zotac Amp Extreme, which I would have got next week when stock arrives.

Got both on preorder, so now just waiting with more uncertainty :(

Still getting the issue with the Zotac firestorm spectra settings, it all saves and gets applied. On a reboot the settings are there right up until the Firestorm software is opened again after the reboot and then the settings disappear to factory LED settings again, I have upgraded to the latest firestorm release too etc but it won't save properly!

After the mess up of receiving an Aorus instead of an Aorus Xtreme and losing my place in the queue for the Zotac Amp Extreme, I've decided to just go with a competitor as I can get it sooner and cheaper.

Pretty disappointed with how OCUK have handled my situation. I've almost always ordered my hardware from here as well.

The only thing i have used the firestorm software for is the lighting, i use afterburner, all i did was apply what settings i wanted then in the settings disable the startup with windows check box, that works for me, I've never had the firestorm software start with windows so maybe that's why i haven't noticed that software bug by the sounds of it.just use afterburner for clocking etc.

Can you change rgb to what you like then uninstall that software - think i did that with my msi gaming x 1070.

Edit- just read Adrian's post - that sounds better.

For those who have gone from a 1080 to 1080ti, has it been worth it?

If I get one I will be getting 3rd party cooled 1080ti and coming from a Palit GTX1080 Gamerock Premium Edition. I will be paring it with a 6700k @ 4.7ghz on 1440p/60hz monitor.

I know what the answer will be, but I just want thoughts from people who have actually made the move.

I guess I can wait for the 1180, but how long till it comes out and will it be a new architecture or just a pascal refresh?

Well I had the same 1080 as you and sold it after 2 months, yeah it's not worth the money to upgrade but I've wanted the 1080Ti since the pascal launch sooo......

It will probably be Christmas time at the very earliest before big Volta is released I would say.
