    ** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

    Nice, that was what I had guessed. You might need a bit more power to get that setup performing :) The FE cards are great on water, given the current situation you will not get a faster setup without some modification.

    ** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

    Last time round we got the 980 in September and the Ti in June. The pricing was $550, $700, $1000 for the 980,Ti,Titan X so we have $700(well $600 marketed) and $1200, so $850-$900 is likely for the Ti. Maybe $900 FE should be expected. Can they release a genuine consumer product at that...

    Well, I want to max out my 165hz 1440p screen - because why not!

    Well, I did say 'just about' rather than 4K@60 everywhere! Yeah, a few of the of the more demanding games struggle on the min end, but if you can average 60 and always keep above 30 fps your going to have a pretty decent gaming experience. You should also consider that some of those 'bells and...

    + looking at some reviews, the Titan X still has ~10% headroom for overclocking which is thermally limited. That puts it benches ~25% above an overclocked FTW 1080 for example. Lets see where that goes on water :) Unless the Titan X has a stricter voltage limit than the 1080, its possible we...

    Yes, but see this :) http://www.overclock.net/t/1607133/titan-x-pascal-waterblock-release-date-expectations Think we might expect similar clocks as we are currently getting on the 1080s, so with an extra ~50% cores to use you might see these things push pretty hard. Also remember that we...

    ** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

    Ha, yes. They could also quite easily support freesync on these cards but they won't! Expect the Ti to appear at the midpoint of the 1080 and the Titan X! At best it will be an $800-$850 launch. It would be up to the board partners to drop 1080 prices back to the range we were initially...

    Do we all really need these 1080s, Nope. Do we all want one, Yep! The 908Ti was about a 20-30% performance boost, why would they not do the same with a 1080Ti? AMD will likely scrape together some dual chip monster that gets near the 1080 at 3x the power consumption and will respond. If not...

    ** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

    yep, consult this chart for the answer to that one http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=USD&view=1Y They might back off the pricing when they release a Ti version - how much did 980 prices drop on the 980Ti release anyone? Not by much I expect. However, 'reasonable price' is somewhat...

    These look like the lowest priced items in stock that would work: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inno3d-geforce-gtx-1080-herculez-twin-x2-8192mb-gddr5x-pci-express-graphics-card-n1080-1sdn-p6dn-gx-063-in.html The FE cards are £20 more than that. You would need to double check compatibility...

    I have seem some dodgy looking bios's out there, but I didn't think the Strix OC had overrided the 1.09V limit in their vBios. Any owners out there can confirm this? Cannot find much anywhere about this, just that the Strix OC's were scaled back due to a large number of RMAs from the early...

    Think he already had the EK FE waterblock judging by his post.

    Pretty sure the MSI armor + Aero and the Inno Hurculez both use the reference board, as does the EVGA SC. Don't think the armor is listed in the EK compatibility list though - I found a teardown of it somewhere that showed it was the same board. I see you have gone for the cheapest possible...

    PG279Q GSYNC + GTX 1080 displayport issues?

    I should note about the other common issues with these two monitors: IPS glow / backlight bleed - Its not too bad on the ACER predator, it does have a little - mainly on the right hand corners but its not as bad as I've seen posted here and elsewhere. I was going to test the ASUS when I tried...

    PG279Q GSYNC + GTX 1080 displayport issues?

    Hi All, I wonder if anyone else has had the same issues are we are currently experiencing with a GTX 1080 FE plugged into 165hz 1440p GSYNC monitors such as the ASUS Swift PG279Q or the ACER Predator XB271HU (we have currently got one of each). I initially plugged in the ACER for a new...

    512 SM961 stock

    Hi, just wondering if there is a rough timescale on the next batch of 512GB SM961 M.2 drives? It looks like no one will get hold of the 1TB drives for quite a while, but I was hoping the 512 drives might come in before that
