** 980ti Out Now **

[Kelt]

Hmm I feel like ordering a G1 to be placed early in the queue but it's also the same day AMD reveals the Fury. What to do..

May as well wait, seeing as how it's so imminent.

Leaked benchmarks place it at the same level as the 980ti...still waiting for prices though.

 

[se_vietboi]

They're not confirmed though?

 

[Digital X]

And which Fury? There are 3 editions.

 

[Jamdude]

The Fury X, and nothing will be 'confirmed' until they're in the hands of reviewers and the NDA is up.

Grabbed two OcUK versions yesterday , 120 quid saving for what a week extra wait . Think that's banging personally . Sooner chuck my cash at OcUK anyway ... Margins must be relativly thin at this early stage on those in comparison to other Vendors ? Needless to say can't wait .

Hi oc are we still on track for the gigabyte g1 arriving on the 16/6

 

[Tohrazer]

I want one so badly D:

There is a review out for the g1 on guru3d and at max load the temps are at 69 which is great

 

[Darkman]

On an open TestBench.

 

[Kelt]

Yep, as someone mentioned in the main thread, these open test benches really aren't representative of what you'd get in your closed case at home. Probably wise to add an extra 5-10 degrees on top.

Would it be daft to order a non-ref card of the intention is to rip off the cooler and use a water block? Better to just order ref?

I think most blocks are designed for reference cards, so you're better off getting the cheapest one you can buy. Non-reference cards usually have their own non-standard proprietary boards.

Apparently 8th in the queue for the next batch of EVGA ACX cards, but having always gone Gigabyte in the past I am fighting the urge to change it for that G1 card.

The EVGA ACX cards from here are the one's with the backplate yes?

I believe unless you get the "superclocked +" or above, no backplate.

For example, the "superclocked" ACX doesn't come with one.

 

[Jarrastafari]

Any chance of an Infin8 edition OcUK staff?

 

[PayneUK]

Ordered the SC one yeah, that's the thing that's confused me a little as the title just says 'EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti Superclocked ACX 2.0' which on EVGA's website says no backplate unless it has the +

But the picture's of the card say SC+ - backplate.

Hence the bigger temptation to go for the G1 instead.

Yeh, that's the wrong picture for the card.

I'd be looking at the MSI Gaming as well, cheaper than the G1.

No, the description is wrong. You can confirm by googling the part # 06G-P4-4995-KR

I ordered & received the one below, and it is the SC+, and it does have the backplate.

How do you know what position in the queue you are?

I've gone for the MSI, up there with the best factory clock speeds and a fair amount cheaper than the rest.
