It doesn't really matter if Vega ends up a bit faster; very few will upgrade unless the upgrade yields more than a few fps. Nvidia had the cards ready and launched making whatever AMD has lined up with Vega moot (by the time Vega is released a lot of people will already have moved to GTX 1080s and 1080 Tis). So the high-end market has already been saturated by nvidia, but I'm guessing a lot of people with cards <= GTX 980Ti/1070 would love a GTX 1080 equivalent for around $300.
Can anyone confirm that it wont void warranty to fit a water block to EVGA 1080ti FE ?
it is covered in EVGA's warranty for aftermarket cooler install. As long as the card itself is not damaged by means of install and is returned in original condition.
Quoted from the below warranty.

- The product must be returned to EVGA in the original factory configuration and condition. All aftermarket modification must be reversed before sending in the product for replacement.
Just got confirmation from EK that they are releasing a single slot Waterblock and a backplate specifically for the 1080 Ti. Should be released first or second week of April!
Why when the Titan blocks fits it???????
For balance I would like to say a big thanks to the OCUK peeps for working late on Friday in order to get my card to me so quickly and to DPD for a very slick delivery pre-10am on the Saturday.
I would also like to say that Nvidia really have smashed it out of the park with this GPU, the only thing I would say is that if you are on air, my previous recommendation of waiting still holds. The air-cooler on the FE has all the caveats the 1080 cooler and Titan cooler have.
What about liquid then? Well, we only have a 120% power-limit and no voltage boost at the moment but its already knocking on the door of the best Titan's here. I would say that the card is stronger in actual games than it is in the synthetics.
Does anyone have a rough idea when the 1080ti Sea Hawk EK will be available? I'm running a 970 and looking to make the leap to modern times

Out of interest, how does the FE cooler do at roughly 80%? Much throttling?? I think this is the loudest I could stand tbh (had a 1080 Reference before). Thanks.
Considering I saw a video earlier of a gtx 970 at 1080p running the same frames as a 1080Ti at 4K. I think your in for a very nice upgrade
I cancelled my OcUK Value FE order because April was mentioned as a stock date, then spotted some MSI cards in stock this afternoon. Ordered one and it's shipped for delivery to work tomorrow!!!
Except I've just remembered I have a day off tomorrow. FML.
