Currently 46 in the queue for a FTW, was in the 60's when I put the order in on the 27th. Guess people are getting impatient/buyers remorse. :D

I've decided to keep my 1080's. After much thinking and debating. Lol my brain at the minute.

I'll just enjoy the extra frames and perf and sell my Ti's.

8 months time my Ti's will be £250. Can get about £350-£400 each for them now. Sell the 1080's for about £500+ each before the Ti release.

Works out about the same loss either way so might aswell enjoy the new cards. I'll do some testing tonight so I can compare.

Kaap can you add me back ON the TROH, sorry :p

Nice one, although you'l have to wait abit on the HB bridges I believe. Planning on SLI EVGA FTW's myself.

Current LED bridges such as the EVGA V2, MSI, ASUS et al can do the job fine for most recent resolutions so 4k @ 60hz, 2560 x 1440 @ 165hz / 3440 x 1440 @ 100hz. its for surround / 5k setups where the HB bridge's become useful.

I have 3 X 1440P surround, so recon the HB bridge is worth waiting for I guess. Only currently have the old motherboard flexible bridge.

Looks okay to me, Fired it up and been running around for about an hour or so. Both cards running at 2050 mhz, dipping down to 2025 mhz at times, but no massive changes outside of normal boost.

Are you doing anything specific, I can try to replicate? This was just running around in the forest trying to hunt some specific animals.

i gota say, the founders card is pretty.... not that it matters. :D

It is rather nice... the cooler is a very well made piece of kit - I'm glad to see they're continuing the trend they started with the GTX690.

I've ordered an EVGA V2 SLI bridge... I got the 4-way one for only £30 delivered and it'll arrive on Monday.

For now I'm using the older flexible style - it'll be interesting to see if there's any difference.

I'm running 4k @ 60Hz & 2560x1440 @ 144Hz

Nice - enjoy :)

:)

Very nice :). Enjoy them mate. They absolutely fly and shouldn't have much a problem with those resolutions. I've got mine running 144hz 1440p.

I'd be interested in how much of a difference the HB bridge makes and how currently SLI is running for you. Mine are currently running between 80-99% on every game. I'm guessing it's because SLI drivers will take a little time to fully update. I'd like to hear if yours is the same, Incase I have something set wrong.

Usually happens when there are a lot of people around and goes down to 1800mhz or so. Only uses 65% as well.

Okay, I am seeing odd behaviour. After you mentioned the population area's, I went back into the game. I did notice that the fps seemed a lot lower and checking GPU-Z readout and looking at precision X OSD, one of the cards was doing nothing, while the one doing the lifting was fluctuating in core clock. After a restart of the PC that issue has gone seemingly with the cards maintaining 2025 throughout as GPU-Z readout shows.

Though the GPU Load was bizarrely low on both cards like you mentioned. Dunno whats really going on there.
