Hi

Currently running a 1080 but have the chance of a 1080 ti for £480 which is in new condition and fully boxed etc etc...is it worth a punt and will it be a worth while upgrade.

thanks

It's a good 20% faster than what you have now. It kind of depends what res you're gaming at whether you'll notice much difference.

You’ll likely get £300 odds for your 1080, does £180 feel like a good deal?

I am running at 1440p

I will be selling mine but probably not for £180 lol

It is around 30-40% faster when both are overclocked.

Worth it in my opinion as they are still very fast cards.

I think they mean is the £180 delta in (£300 for 1080, £480 for 1080Ti) price worth it

As to if they are worth it, would say if it’s a solid cooler on the 1080Ti in order to maintain solid boost clocks, then it’s a solid price. They are still quick cards and you always pay a premium for the faster stuff.

i all ready have a evga 1080 sc which is in my watercooled loop and the block fits the ti as it is also a evga sc so it will be watercooled...so looks like a no brainer at the moment

yea sorry....I read it wrong

I'd go for it. Using mine at 1440p and it doesn't struggle with most games I throw at it (the exceptions are Total Warhammer with 4xAA in large battles on wooded maps).

Yes upgrade the 1080ti is a great card...

well bought the evga gtx1080icx xc today for £470, installed my waterblock and been testing out. Can anyone tell me if these temps are ok. Taken while playing pubg for an hour. The mem2 reading is higher than the other mem readings, dont know anything about these cards so was wondering if everything is ok.

MissChief · 30 Apr 2019 at 20:35

Temps look good. Unsure about the memory though.

Apone70 · 30 Apr 2019 at 20:38

Temps are fine by the looks of it. !080ti is a great card for 1440p 144hz

Griff7520 · 1 May 2019 at 07:19

OK so last night pc started freezing with hundreds of small boxes on screen while gaming, every game the same, it happened after about 2 minutes into the game. Reinstalled drivers etc etc but no good. Any ideas what could cause it,. Temps were all good at the timeis the card faulty

Kelt · 1 May 2019 at 07:26

Artefacts usually mean the card has been clocked too high, or the card is borked.

Got any pictures of the problem?

Griff7520 · 1 May 2019 at 09:07

Will post some later

Sounds like a faulty card if it is artifacting? Any warranty left with EVGA? Where did you buy it from, find it suspicious the card would be faulty a day after installing!
