Completely understand where you're coming from.
If I was in same situation I'd probably take a look at some of the 2080s, they can be found for less than 700 and offer comparable performance to a 1080ti.

get a used 10xx card, or one of the deals from ocuk for remaining 10xx stock, but they tend to be the less desirable models in stock like blower cards and minis.

Well did not expect this, they have actually responded to my email, with it being so close to the date of expiry they want to see photos of the card and the damage, i have explained there's no damage outside the cooler housing and waiting on responce to what's next, i did said they're happy to smell the outlet as much as they want it stinks lol if they arrange to pick it up, see how it goes thanks for all the info lads will keep you all updated.

If they refuse to take it claim on house insurance as it should cover it? I know my house insurance does anyway

There email below

I apologize for the trouble with your 980ti, there are no recalls on any of our products at this time. Can you please send photos of the damage to the card, we should be able to offer a one time replacement for this since you are just barely out of warranty.

Reading the email I think they doing something about it tbh. Not expecting anything but shall see.

Having a read yesterday, it seems there as been a few with similar problems, I am guessing something as burnt out on the board in the middle of the card the smell seems stronger to to the middle where others have stripped the coolers off, some have even started melting, would love to take it apart but better see what they say regarding this going to have to wait till is over.

I think that was there plan yes, well it's took a few weeks of pain not having my pc working , after a few emails and pics EVGA have been amazing, they are sending me a 1080 hybrid to replace the 980ti hybrid that burnt out, it should be here Thursday it's on its way from Germany happy days.

That should get me through this year and gives the gfx cards time to settle to get the Ultimate 4k 60fps dream without paying the premium .

Evga customer for life ;)
