** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

[MrMD]

I am thinking resale on the really crappy ones though! I will want a 1080 ti when it is released.

Resale value on FE cards wont be much better,if your WC it your already saving £100 by getting a non FE blower

resale on evga has to be best

I'm actually surprised in a good way, the non reference edition cards are coming online and Nvidia and it's partners have followed through and delivered 1080's that are $100 cheaper.

well....not strictly true is it?

one or two (guff cards) are $100 cheaper.

And we in the UK are still a far cry off the $599 price after conversion.

And even having said that, $599 is more than the 980 was.

 

[Wilkeh]

wow great deals there and cards on offer! prices are reasonable!
Bagged myself a 1080 FTW can't wait! I was expecting it to be up in the £650 mark but for less than £600 I'm very happy!

You sure you didn't get the SC? FTW is just over £600

I've ordered one

 

[MrMD]

Indeed, should be base models around 315.

If semi decent aibs are over £350 i will just get a used TI,i'd imagine after both are clocked a Ti will be faster than a 1070

 

[Aretak]

Since when is £525 more than £620?

He's being incredibly witty and using sarcasm, elevating the level of discussion in the process as he always does.

 

[Dazza b]

They are nice cards.......just have everything crossed you never have to RMA it.

Oh have Inno3d got a bad reputation with RMA ?

Well if they have ill cross my fingers that I have no issues

 

[El_MUERkO]

I had two KFA 980ti OC's which overclocked well and were cool and quiet. Think I might just punt for one of them once they're in stock.

I missed out a "NOT"

 

[Seanspeed]

Is the clown £525 version that bad?? lol. Im coming from a 970 mind... and i wont be overclocking it...

It should be fine, really. It'll potentially run a bit hotter/noisier than other cards, but if you can deal with that, have no intentions of overclocking and dont care about aesthetics - then yea, go for it. It'll be a huge step up from a 970.

 

[whyscotty]

I don't recalled too many were saying custom cards would be over the $699 price...
I do recall some were saying it would likely to be $650+ at least, and with the likes of Asus,
or EVGA special cards being even more expensive than even the FE etc.

I was one who said they'd be 650 plus - Very surprised at the pricing

Some of the "lesser" brands do really good cards. I had both a Palit 980 and 980 Ti (which used the same cooler) and they're the two quietest cards I've ever owned. They're high on my list to consider for my next Nvidia card.

 

[izit]

Do EVGA not have a standard clock speed version? Both models are overclocked.
I want as quiet as possible so looks like I may go MSI

ye palit did good job
i like the look of the palit 1080 too

 

[shrek2]

I'll be getting the Air Boss X3 hen they become available.
Quite relieved they're cheaper than I thought they would be.

Keep in mind you can always manually underclock. Takes all of 30 seconds.

And a card that is slightly overclocked isn't necessarily going to be noticeably louder. It's all a matter of how well it is cooled and thus what fan profile you use(which can also be custom setup in minutes).

 

[X-Mikuru_Beam-X]

As a fan of Nvidia reference 'blower' cards, I have to say i love the MSI Aero! It's basic and but clean.

At that price I would have snapped two up if they had been available today

 

[TGReaper]

Still to much

 

[Danny75]

not sure if its been asked alrdy but...

any guess why the pcb on the msi looks so huge?
it has anything special?

Big fans on the MSI Gaming model compared to their others. So maybe they enlarged the PCB at the same time, for aesthetic/cooling reasons. That's my guess. Suppose it's possible they may have added other stuff to take advantage of the extra room. We'll have to see.

It was all a ploy, custom 1080 pricing looks like a bargain now
