Generally nothing, they just are a big name brand with the whole "ROG" gimmick. Some of their higher end stuff is better built but priced over the top.

Well, there's no rush to buy one of these cards unless your in desperate need of a new card, as they can't do much of anything yet. But when the shackles are removed they might impress. They are somewhat pricey, and are likely to get more expensive. The problem is, when the old stock of 10xx cards is depleted you'll have little choice. I think in the long run the 20xx cards will be ok.
Not sure if anyone here knows this but a poster on the offical Nvidia forums reported that the delay with 2080tis is due to a problem with gddr6 memory. So anyone with 2080 series gpu may suffer crashes and require RMA.
Not sure the truth in this but worth noteing. Cards shipping late should be okay

You bar steward. That’s absolutely horrendous!
Mind you, I guess someone will like that sort of thing.

I noticed EVGA on their forum have release a BIOS update on their GPU's which increases power target to 130%

Do all manufacturers do this?

Awesome, although flashing my brand new card worries me somewhat!
Your XC ultra is being dispatched now isn't it!?
Flash it as soon as you’ve got it installed. If it goes wrong they’ll have to replace it anyway.
Keeping an eye on the EVGA card myself in case I see stock anywhere at a more reasonable price. Need a short Ti myself and at 269mm this one fits the bill.
Wish more cards had their length listed online TBH, most still say TBD unfortunately. Guess they will be updated over the coming weeks.
My PC case will only take a card up to 280mm so my options are limited without taking a Dremel to the case internals.
Normally if you put an EVGA card in ‘slave’ not master (dual BIOS most of the pascal were) it does that anyway.
There is no real benefit given the voltage is hard limited in the chip again, likely you will throttle before that target becomes a problem really.

Yes I did.
Something managed to get to me from Yodel in onc piece...
Time to drain and do a work around loop while my Vector blocks and 1000d turn up
Are you a plumber by trade? Never seen copper piped water cooling before.
Must be fiddly to fit?

Very nice. Bit bummed OCUK haven't come through with the Dukes yet, they're underperforming...
My workaround lol.
