ooo hello :)

I ordered my 2080ti earlier today. sadly had to pay £30 more than if i had got it on announcement day but it took a while to "adjust" to the new way of thinking about its value ;)

I went for the gigabyte windforce OC. it was the cheapest one but also a size which i know will fit in my pc, and "only" needs 2 8 pins unlike the monster that is the msi tri gaming X.

This may be one for @GIGA-Man or anyone really who has a gigabyte 20xx card.

does the card come with the VRlink to DVI adapter that i think the founders card ships with?

Thanks

Regardless of what you think of the actual price of the thing, and if it's worth getting

This seems to be a very good AIB card: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/msi-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-gaming-x-trio-review,1.html

Same opinion as Phix. Have had many cards and have always gone back to MSI their cards just feel a lot more polished and a lot more premium than most. Not to mention they do IMO have the best fan design out there.

I’m either off with the Msi or reference and waterblock. IF I go for a Ti which I’m still not sure and won’t be until RTX and DLSS are implemented.

I've ordered the ocuk blower card for £1049 as I'm removing the cooler to make way for an EK waterblock and backplate.

No eta as of yet though sadly...

IIRC those cards generally don't show up for a month or more after launch. Probably better asking in the CS forum to see what the eta's are for that and other cards.

The risk of getting a blower is whether or not it is Class A or Class B binned. We know that Nvidia have two different classifications for these cards - class A being for factory OC cards and class B for the rest - it could be that the cheaper blower cards fall under the latter class B which would be a disappointment.

Can confirm from my reading that every blower card will be chip B ... Some AIBs also will.be B unless they specificly give you clocks ... If its reference clocks it's a B version

Kaap you gonna get a 2080 Ti? My FTW3 is on order but sounds like gamers nexus still puts the V on water firmly ahead of the 2080 Ti. I may stick with the V, I dunno.

Well ****! I'll have to have a chat with CS tomorrow. That binning is a bit naughty, has that been a thing historically? I don't mind getting a different card, just thought I was being cute.

At least you found out before it was shipped - saved you some time. And no I think this is a new thing for 20* series.

Can you still OC these cards yourself though or are they locked?
