Are you going to block it straight away or run it on air first to see if it's a decent card i.e. No faults?

Waiting for the custom cooled cards my 980ti struggles with vr running high super sampling, hopefully the 1080ti can do 2x super sampling without retrojection.
Founder's Edition and stock clock benchmarks don't impress me at all. Makes me want to not even bother buying any GPUs a while. Hopefully AIB overclocked cards change my mind with their performance. Something that does 2100Mhz overclocked... now how would that perform?
Looking more and more likely I'll buy when it goes EOL (or Vega if it's cheap) though. I don't want to spend £800 on a GPU merely out of principle (I don't feel it should cost that much).

Not interested in the FE, need more performance at 3440x1440 and in VR so may get one and sling the 1080 in the 2nd pc.
You going SLI?Waiting for the custom cooled also.

As expected, the FE cooler is better than its predecessor, but still not all that great. Will be waiting until after my exams anyway, so the full gamut should be out by then.
Test for a day at work on air to make sure it's all good before ripping my loop apart to fit it.

Same, I normally test for a few days before blocking it. I've never gone straight in but it would sure save some hassle in redoing my loop twice.
Good idea on running it on another rig, I have another pc (6600K) which I could do the same. Food for thought.
Compatible 1080Ti FTW with 1080 FTW blocks is all I need to hear and I'm getting a pair
It is not going to happen sadly. You will need new blocks for a 1080 Ti.
Things like memory chips on the 1080 Ti are totally different (11 v 8) to the 1080.
Shush you
But really I know and I'm just in denial. Didn't EK say reference blocks were compatible or did I dream it... edit I did dream it, was the titan blocks that were.
You've got four of them - are the ports in standard placements vs. The 1080 blocks? Would be tempted if I'm able to do it without having to redo the plumbing also...
