Is it possible all FEs are coming direct from nVidia? Like the Titan?

I hope not, but if so ill just be grabbing EVGA SC reference cards.

Asus has already leaked new Ti cards, so partners can do as they wish pretty much.

Would be a shame if all FE's are from Nvidia. I really wanted the EVGA for the watercooling warranty.

Edit: Those Asus card's aren't really FE though are they? Or are they reference boards, with custom coolers? My understanding is that FE was just a fancy way of saying "reference design and cooler".

No idea tbh, I waited a few mins to see if any update on the ocuk site then chucked a pre-order in just to be safe

No Asus has already leaked 2 new Ti cards.

Those arent Founders editions...

Ninja edit after i realised my mistake

4.20pm and nothing on the OCUK site. They are losing sales really fast I'm guessing to the Nvidia site.

You are truly a great Ninja warrior

Well, the Asus cards are on the main product page it seems! I wonder if EVGA has anything up yet...

 

[kedge]

the free ghost recon or for honor is a nice extra I didnt expect to carry over to the ti

Didn't realise that but then again it is part of the 10 series, good to get a free game thrown in, saves about £40.

I'm guessing you have no idea how launches work? Do you really think if OCUK could sell them now they wouldn't have had them on the site at 4pm on the dot?

Yep.. so hard to resist. Really want that OcUK service.

Seems they won't have them

Im guessing Nvidia want to clean up the FE orders for themselves this time!

Nvidia wouldn't do something like not allowing retailers to put up pre-orders, in order to hoover up direct sales. Would they?

 

[madindehead]

Yeah. Probably a longer retail NDA if you aren't Nvidia. Bit of a shame. Looks like the 10th is the actual release date.

Not really, I'm sure you can buy the codes for £20.

I hope NVidia are not doing the dirty on retailers by skimming off 1080 Ti sales on their website before the retailers are able to join in.

Waterblock & backplate ordered as well..... Expensive afternoon

 

[madindehead]

My block and backplate arrived today Nice to have EK products again!

Of course they are, if that wasn't the case OCUK and competitors would have had them on their sites at the same time.

Even US retailers don't have them.
