Looool the purchase of the titanX for you hinges on a custom backplate
Pull the other one m8
Aesthetics is important to me. I don't care if the card is 3 degrees higher.

They are to me too EK will do a backplate will just have to wait a few weeks

Kind of a joke considering the reference version of the 970/980/Titan Z and many other AIB's all come with backplates yet the Titan X judging by the pictures won't.
Surely if they want to sell their most high end card they should make is aesthetically pleasing as well

I personally don't care for backplates. While they look cleaner yes and help temps a tiny bit. I don't care
I actualy quite like the open pcb looks especially when black.

Each to their own I just hope we can get hold of metal backplates when these come out.
Soldato
Oh for sure! As you say each to their own. I think with premium cards the ideal solution would be to do as xspc do with some of the bay res/pump combos. Have a couple of swappable face/backplates in the box for the consumer to decide what they want and if they want
that way everyone gets what they want.

I prefer backplates look neater than PCB
Ironically gpu have nice looking coolers but all you get to see when in the case is the backside of it

Depends on the case really the TJ-0 series can mount boards sideways so depending on what angle you sit at you will see the cooler, but yes 99.9% of the time you see the pcb/bplate

Ouchy .. If I get good price for the 2 980 I have then I will indulge
It's almost always a near 1:1 $ to £ conversion for us. Not just with technology either.

No it isn't...
At current exchange rate, I would expect 20% off with conversion, import and vat.
Expecting £799... might get lucky and see something at £749... but that'll probably be pushing it.

Guys, we have a different thread for discussion. This is the owners thread (or soon to be)

So... owners aren't allowed to discuss in the owner's thread? hmmmmmmmmmm

the £ is currently $1.47, plus VAT (20%) = £815...
and I think it will still be more than that
