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

[Greebo]

The warranty, and resale value, thanks to the warranty.

Plus you can fit a waterblock without killing your warranty.

Although I will say that with almost every 1080 card clocking the same, a lot of reasons to buy the custom board FTW are irrelevant

I dont get it

whats so good about the FTW? is it really worth 2+ months wait ?

while you could have had enjoyment out them 2 months instead you've gotten stress and frustration & no card or money

:-\


I hope these cards are everything you expected and more.

We bought before the price hike. We'd lose a lot of money now by switching brands so we're trapped.

If anyone's interested, the HB bridge is in stock on the nvidia website.

Yeah that as well. I've got a 1080FTW or preoder for £560. Looking at the price now I dont want to give it up even though I now ow a Palit Super Jetstream

Same with the G1 I have on preorder at £525. Don;t want to give that one up either!

Try them, find out which is quickest, easily sell the others at price you paid + p&p (which I believe is allowed in MM) and job done

I'm happy with an EVGA SC at £590 (now £639) when I get it. Til then, 290x will keep chugging along!

Lucky you have a 290x, I'm on Intel graphics

That's great news. Can you spam F5 on it for us and let us know when it hits?

Ben @ EVGA

Any idea on numbers shipping to OCUK for the second batch next week?

Hasn't Ben already said, the same amount (50)

Well it's nice to still be able to play games, but I think given the 480, 1070 and imminent 1060 release it's worth about £5 and a can of stella.

Thank you very much Ben

I posted in the CS forum about upgrading to a Saturday delivery for my EVGA SC order at 1730 yesterday, but no-one has replied yet. Is there something magic I should have done to my post to make it visible to the team?

I got mine last week - they come in and out of stock it seems.

And so now I have strix backplates, strix waterblocks and er.. no strixes (is that the plural?)

BTW interestingly with the EK blocks and the Strix the nvidia HB bridge *does* fit (so they say).

I'm sure someone will get round to looking at it soon mate, if they haven't by say 11/12ish I'd ring them up just to be sure.

Post a picture of a bag of Haribo. That usually works.
