Nice results, basically Titan P performance for a lower price which is what i think we were all expecting. I'm still not decided if i will upgrade from my 980ti but it sure is tempting.
Heart says yes, wallet says no!
And 1GB less vRam is not even worth bothering about! A bloody good card, AMD are gonna have to pull something damn good out with Vega...

Yup. Expect Aftermarket in 3-4 weeks. Possibly 2 weeks ish for one or two models.
Yep 11GB is plenty although it is an odd amount of RAM to have. Is their any concern we might get a 970 situation where that last bit of ram is totally gimped? Would be a bit silly of nvidia to repeat that one tbh.

I am trying to convince myself that I want to wait for a custom card but seriously struggling with that. I am on crappy shifts for the next 2 weeks though, so that will help with the decision but I am not at work til 7pm tonight, which gives me roughly 45 minutes after 6pm to argue with myselfGregster is getting excited, post count increasing as we get closer to tomorrows launch xD
You picking one up on day one Gregster?
Think I am
It will go well with your new Ryzen build bud

If I was buying unless your water cooling? Custom is the way to go.
Yeah i'd only by the FE if i was planning on going water cooling (or maybe if i really needed a blower due to case constraints).
2ghz out of the box with a nice quiet cooler please

custom card if you dont want to water down the thing, since now all cards look to be either 2.5 slot and triple fan or both from the big boys Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte but surprisingly MSI still sticking with the 2 slot twin fan design .... to Gigabytes triple 100 and Asus/Evga triple 90

I had never heard of them prior to the TXP launch.

Digital River just sounds like some kinda codename for another well known supplier lol

I thought the custom cards were coming on day 1 with the Founders? So that's not the case?
If it's the only option I'll prob still pick up a Founders tomorrow from OCUK, because 'new / shiny' but would much rather to able to buy an EVGA Hybrid.. Plz make it so Gibbo xD

Welcome to the Easyrider and Gregster group counselling thread.
#prayforgregster is trending on twitter.
The FE cards will stink, stay strong or buy an FE and then shuffle one once the customs come out.

I'd wait and see what there is and the time scale (ETA) Greg. The custom cooled cards will be worth the wait on cooling/noise alone over the founders.
That EVGA FTW3 is one good looking card.

Cheers JF. What is the concensus here about this topic? Go for reference or wait for aftermarket?
Tempted to wait tbh!

Aftermarket will have better temps which means more clocking. Unless you're planning to WC of course.

**** you
Tempted to grab a FE and then grab a custom a bit later on and sell the FE.^
