So are there any 1080 to avoid. I know there was the issue with evga which is fixed, but if I just want, not a blower and a backplate, then any will do?

The EVGA issue was never really a issue. It was blown out of proportion from the start. Any 1080 will do. EVGA probably have the best warranty out of anyone imho

Well I've just bought my first Nvidia card since the 4200Ti back in what, 2003? Vega's giving me bad vibes, so it was time to finally do the right thing give my Ryzen system the graphics card it needs.

I was going to go for a 1070, but £430 delivered for a 1080 seemed surprisingly/suspiciously reasonable and should be a quantum leap in performance at 1440p compared to my struggling R9 380X.

Ok, thanks. I'll keep my eye for deals then if any will do and it's just things like warranty.

I know currently you can get a palit 1080 for £425, but only 2 years warranty which seems a little short for £400+, would prefer 3 if I'm spending that sort of money.

EVGA are also good for second hand selling and they do guest RMA. No other company I know of do that. That's a great selling point if you intend to sell on in the future.

does anybody here have one of these (link) what are the temps, noise etc?

Alty · 2 Jun 2017 at 12:03

I've been speccing up a gaming build and been patiently waiting for Vega.... needless to say I grew tired of a further 2 month minimum wait and decided to bite the bullet and went for the MSi GTX 1080 Gaming X+ 8G which will be £460 after cashback. This is gonna be paired up with a Ryzen 5 1600x, Gigabyte x370 Gaming K7 and 16Gb G Skill Trident Z RGB - looking forward to playing at 1440p with decent gfx settings - rest of the build should be arriving next week hopefully. Has anyone had any experience with the Msi cards and what they are like?

I'm getting tempted by a Palit Jetstream 1080 for £450 - would this be a decent choice or should I wait for something with better warranty or base OC / binned chip - reviews seem to suggest cooling is good and by all accounts there's not much to chose between many of cards in terms of peak performance. Been holding off for a while and deliberating between 1070 or 1080. Nearly went for Zotac AMP Edition 1070 at £350 but was too late. Prices don't seem to be doing much and not sure I want to keep waiting. Garage conversion nearly done and would be nice to drop a new graphics card into my PC to enjoy in the new room!

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1080.

tlrBeta · 22 Jun 2017 at 21:28

Any MSI Aero OC owners in here? If so, any pros / cons around?

Im finding it very difficult to find reviews, so anything you could add would be appreciated

Thanks

There was some bug awhile back that made some cards idle around that speed, my asus strix used to do it, unfortunately i can't remember what fixed it sorry. As for the temp if it is idling at 1632mhz and has that no fan thingy then that would explain the temps.

*edit. It might have been something to do with running on desktop at 144Hz. Now i run my desktop at 120Hz and there is a setting in Nvidia control panel somewhere which allows games to overide it and run at 144Hz.
