Thanks for the advice guys. If I can get a good price for my current ram, I will upgrade to a faster speed this month.

The more I think about it, not sure if will pull the trigger yet. £700 is still a fair chunk of cash. (Especially for a REF design)
Thinking the Volta GTX 1170 will probably match the 1080 / 1080 Ti and come it around £350 - £400..
Plus we got VEGA coming soon too.. Maybe if I just destroy my router tomorrow I won't be tempted xD

After all those reviews, do you guys still think its good idea to buy FE version? I mean cooler/throttling/noise levels.
I'm asking cause I never had reference design card, always third party cooler versions...
I'm worried that this will be too noisy for me etc.

Nah I wouldn't touch the FE versions. I'd much prefer a custom cooled version so I dont have to deal with throttling etc.

^^
Yeah gonna wait out for a decent custom card. FE noise / heat will just bug me xD
EVGA Hybrid where you at?

If I was staying on air then I'd wait for the custom coolers, but as mine will be under water from day one the FE is fine IMO.
Just need Nvidia to confirm shipping now.
Nvidia order is still stuck on processing since early this morning, looks like no Ti's for me until Monday
Same here says boxed shipment, order processing.
That said I've heard people say that deliveries from DR have a habit of turning up before shipping confirmation has even been sent out.

same, with boxed mentioned next to it. The only reason I ordered from them was to hopefully have it tomorrow - but seeing how damn incompetent they are, unable to provide any info and messing me around to day, i've decided to cancel and just wait it out.
Imo at stock the fan profile remains reasonably quiet. However in turn it does not boost very high compared to aftermarket cards. Said cards will run reasonably quiet also while achieving a high boost. Founders has it uses but for most aftermarket will be better.
If your not looking at putting it under water and you want a card that stays cooler with lower noise then AIB is the way to go. With overclocking in mind the FE will reach pretty much same speeds as AIB models most likely if 1080 and 1070 is anything to go by. And even the Titan XP. Out of the box most reviewers saw the FE boosting to around 19xx on its own with no fan curve and overclocks and maintains 2Ghz with a higher fan speed (hairdryer mode)
However FE cards tend to be on the more noisy side compared to AIB cards.
I saw FE cards boosting to 19xx out of the box that to me is reasonable! id expect AIB cards to hit slightly higher stated boost but out of the box AIB cards will boost and hit slightly higher as in just under 2ghz but obviously while remaining cooler and quieter.
same as me to. Any chance of them delivering saturday?
I saw a comment on reddit that DR just don't deliver on Saturdays.
They will usually boost pretty high and during most tests they do not last long enough that it causes any throttling. But play for at least 10 mins or so and use the stock fan profile and the cards will get warm enough that I would be very suprised if it will be able to hold over 1900 mhz constantly. I know my 1080s can't nor could the pascal Titan x (all FE coolers) I had hold that sort of figure. Andtech also shows similar patter with game tests where the card can get warm enough where the clock is a fair bit lower then what it was boosting too when running cooler. http://www.anandtech.com/show/11180/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-review/16

Definitely need waterblocks to keep the cards running at a constant overclock.
Here is my Pascal Titan running the Valley bench @2160p at well over 2100mhz, something none of the air cooled 1080 Ti's tested today can get close to.

Is that at stock Kaap?
Yup they and pascal in general most definitely thrive under water. That's what a near 375mhz boost or so over the overclocked boost clock speed that you have set, can't complain with that, more so as it's looks extreamly steady.
