Just thought I'd throw this post up to see what people would do, I killed my card somehow by fitting a AIO and have claimed on my insurance so I'm due to be getting a replacement soon for the value of £1099 which will probably be in the form of a voucher not sure yet as if they replace like for like you can only get the Titan from Nvidia. I'll find this out on Monday, however if I do get a choice should I go for a fancy 1080ti or this time round go for the new Titan Xp. If you had £1099 to spend on a GPU and you might as well spend as much of it as possible cause you won't get the difference in cash back what would you get??

Also I still have the EVGA Hybrid AIO which I could use going the TXp route. Is there any variation of a 1080ti which will beat the TXp?
 
Get the KFA 1080Ti from OCUK (used to be £630 but went up to £650 with the Destiny 2 offer...so much for the "free game") and spend the difference on ho's and booze.
 
It's very easy and I have no idea how I did it, I've done it twice before with no problems. I put it back into my computer and no display, not sure what went wrong tbh.

Reason why insurance costs so much, you damaged it yourself..so why claim?

But if you don't take out the insurance it should affect you. I never take accidental cover,partly as I'm careful with things anyway but also expect it's open to abuse which then affects the price of such cover for everyone, so am not willing to pay the premium required.
Not sure taking something apart to fit another cooler should be claimable but we don't know what type of policy/cover OP has anyway :).
 
just buy whatever with the voucher and tip a little cash in to go over its value, don't unbox it and then return it for a cash refund.

Then don't break the next one, you won't get two claims for the same thing.

Yes that's a noticeable difference, though an OC'd ti will close on that gap a little?

They would but if you overclock one do so with the other, It was the same with the Maxwell Ti & Titan, Yes you got out of the box Ti's that were faster due to the no non-reference policy Nvidia have on Titans but regardless of what model you have more cuda's means more performance. So ultimately the Titan was always the faster card no matter what Ti you have and the same's true today. It's why Nvidia released a second Titan. The only time it wasn't true was with the 780ti and Titan Black but that still had the memory advantage.
