The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

[JediFragger]

Any news on pre-orders opening up ?

Nothing as yet, probably under NDA

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Looking at the price tag, I fear for the cost of the next Titan or ti. Nvidia are infamous for their greed but I think they're just edging it beyond the acceptable now.

Too easy to say as a consumer. Sounds like the r&d wasn't cheap.and if we still think its too expensive the competition also to blame....where is it?

It's only money. Give up drinking,takeaways or whatever for a while

Waiting for EVGA GTX1080 SC or what ever model they do that delivers 2GHz stock clocks.

 

[TGReaper]

Take my money already lol

 

[Exibit]

Wonder how lone we will have to wait for EVGA to release the SC or Classified

Gibbo said a while back that they would release around the same time? I hope its a week or so after FE release?

I imagine that was probably referring to the ones with an after market cooler slapped on maby some minor tweaks and some version like the SC which is just a "superclocked" version of the factory card. Though I doubt it meant something like the classified which changes the PCB considerably. ASUS et al would need to spend some time with the board I would imagine.

EVGA is the way forward with their UK based office "just in case".

I hope EVGA (and the other AIB partners) say up front which versions of the 1080 they are going to do as it makes planning a lot easier.

Yes I agree I hope EVGA for example make some kind of statement regarding future releases, if they dont will be hard yo judge to buy when the cards are first released or wait wait wait for something to appear of the OC store

All there is on the EVGA web site is the Founders Edition

irrelevant now, history has shown people will pay whatever the price

Good point some will still buy it regardless

 

[subbytna]

4 pages of an owners thread...and no owners yet lol

 

[Legend]

This thread will likely hit 20 pages before anyone even gets a card in their hands lol!

 

[thenoseknows]

Yeah, but it will probably end up like the GTX 980 owners thread and quickly forgotten once the 1080 Ti comes out.

My pair of 1080s arrived this morning.

They are very fast.

Couldn't be more pleased, particularly as they were only £299 each...
