£790I wonder how much profit Nvidia make on a £800 1080 card?
Had I know about the 'design flaw' and fix at launch together with knowing about this revision and the cost, I'd still choose the launch product. With the pads and uprated TIM and having had the card for 6 months and paying £80 less, I can't complain.
Anybody willing to spend over 600 quid on a card right now would be much better served either waiting for the 1080 Ti in a few weeks or even the flood of much cheaper 1080's that will undoubtedly flood the MM.
I think you mean Vega.
I just don't get how they justify £700 for a 1080, I got my EVGA 980 Ti for £300 with over 2 years warrant left clocks to 1540mhz game stable and at those speeds are only around 15% slower yet I've got £400 in my pocket
If you plan on keeping the card for a few years, then the whole fiasco is a non issue.
However if you intend to sell it on once a 1080ti, or 2080, 2080ti release etc, the resale value is massively affected. These cards are now forever tainted as the hottest, noisiest and generally worst AIB 1070/1080 out there.

You have no idea what your talking about mate. As Drollic has said it's not even a issue. Stop spreading lies and misinformation on these forums about something you don't even have a clue about.
You started all this with me in this thread a while back

You can condescend all you like, just because you bought one and have convinced yourself it's all good. However, not only have EVGA updated the design but they are also offering an upgrade facility for people like you. As dave2150 rightly points out, the second hand buyer won't have that option... Hence the hit to resale value.
There's currently £20 difference between the two cards... So when people come on these forums asking if the £20 is justified, what advice do you think people who know what they are talking about will be offering them?
lol
I don't even have that card anymore. I'm just stating facts on how it ran. Only a few ever had issues. It was blown out of proportion again like every GPU that has any issue on these forums. That's why I take any info here on OCUK with a grain of salt.
If AMD had anything that beat nvidia too end do you think they would sell it cheaper?
No, they are a business, not a charity for crybabies.
Yes, nice back track.
Dave's point is valid, as was my concern previously.
Anyone buying an EVGA 10 series card will want the ICX cooler regardless of whether they are buying new or second hand. Expect the price of the ACX cooled cards to drop as retailers try to shift old stock.
Second hand value will be affected due to EVGA revising the cooling system, regardless of anyone's personal experience of the original cards.
