1080ti recommendations for approx £700

[Ravenger]

Anyone got any recommendations for the best 1080ti for around £700?

I'm not really interested in overclocking or watercooling, just want a reasonably quiet, cool, powerful card to replace my 980ti for VR, mainly for multisampling to improve the image quality.

I picked up a EVGA 1080 Ti SC black edition recently and they can be had for just under £700 at the 'tropical rainforest'

stock nvidia cooler - blower, slightly louder with worse temps, but exhausts out of the case - could be better for smaller/tiny cases

That’s the best one^ Always buy EVGA for amazing warranty support

Right but I'm guessing no difference in performance?

@Patberts19 nvidia boost will use the extra thermal headroom available on aftermarket cards, so yes, there may be a performance difference in favour of aftermarket cards.
however it also depends on the silicon lottery

I got this card and I love it.

With the 1080ti being a powerful card it takes a good cooler to keep it cool and if you can keep them cool they will boost higher clocks, so the better coolers are faster.

With lower end cards like 1060/1070/1080 the cooler doesn't make as much difference as they are easier to cool.

I can get mine to 2000mhz without issue sits around 74c with stock cooler, should do better when I get the so block on. The out of the box oc is good aswell.
