An extra £50 and they look like the exact same card, obviously you should get the cheaper one.

 

[sewerino26]

ok

the extreme seems to be factory overclocked. it also mentions a 4 year warranty, not sure what the warranty is on the 'standard' card so it might be worth the extra €€'s if it is a longer warranty

I have the Xtreme. Is amazingly good card, with good factory overclock (2088), if you upgrade the bios and set the oc mode profile on the application it comes with.

Also is very quiet card, partly because the cooler is huge. To put in perspective, it dwarfs my 295X2

I have the gtx 1080 Xtreme , 4 years warranty, register 3 months after the expiry date for 30 days from purchase to claim the 4th .
Were as a Zotac 1060 on launch, forgot to register, they said no, and still would have to be RMA abroad unlike the Xtreme cards
Plus the Xtreme has RGB backplate !!

Nom

Spoiler: Rgb

Not shot I was looking for but get the idea

but performance will be similiar?

With the way pascal clock's thanks to boost 3.0 its kind of silicon lottery as to the number it tops out at which is largely a function of power (locked down) and thermal's (both cards have the same cooler). I image they will be a few MHz (bins) apart in actual use. On cooler main diffrence is the Extreme has a larger copper element over the core on the backplate (doubt it makes a big difference) and a RGB eagle logo.

TLDR performance will be similar or close enough that it will be negligible (outside of silicon lottery)

I was somewhat tempted to buy yours when I saw it on members market, but then I saw the asking price and this was literally my reaction

They were cheaper brand new 4-5 months ago dude

All of the 1080ti's with a good cooler will perform about the same.

The ones with a bad cooler will struggle to keep the 1080ti cool and wont boost as high under heavy loads.

Thanks for reminding me. Need to pull it down.
I bought it 4-5 months ago, they weren't cheaper....

I am only going by what I saw as at the time I was about to pick one up brand new for around £650 with a game. Not saying you purchased it at that price, just what I could have for. Thought prices would come down more, but instead they went the other way.
