**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

How much of a performance difference would I expect to see between the Aorus and Aorus Xtreme? Wondering if the slight difference in MHz would provide a noticeable difference when gaming on a PG279Q at 144Hz.

If it isn't then seems like the cheaper Aorus would be better value.
 
Picked up an Aorus from OcUK earlier, you guys are gonna love it it's immense!! From a quick 5 mins test it's a nice quiet card on its default fan profile :cool:

I'll get AB loaded up and test more later tonight :)

Gonna get my old XB321HK back into action until Vega is launched etc, couldn't wait any longer :D

I have one coming in the morning.

Do you need to install the Aorus Engine software to get the OC mode?

Wait I thought you weren't buying a ti? :p

My finger did hover over the purchase button earlier but I can't really justify it as nothing I play currently doesn't play great on my 1070.
 
Spoke to customer service and they said that because the amp extreame will be in stock later than the strix oc and i got them on the same order i wont get my strix till they can send them both together :(

Looks like some lucky sod will end up getting there's quicker than they expected wile I will end up waiting a extra 2 weeks than I thought

FML.....

Hi chaps, first time posting on here although I do check it out from time to time :)Bagged myself the Aorus today although I had the Gaming X pre-ordered on day 1, thought I'd go for a change this time round and go for that monster instead as it's in stock and was the same price as when pre-ordered the Gaming X, looking forward to taking it on a long gaming and benchmarking ride tomorrow. :D

You won't be disappointed, it's quality! 4 yrs warranty too :cool:
 
Aorus boosted to 1936Mhz out of the box (started at 2Ghz then slowly dropped to it) and it hit a max of 78c with a fan speed of 67% which I am more than happy with (it's housed in a soundproofed Aerocool case). Again, noise level was great and unintrusive :cool:

I'll stick with my order for an X3. If they're delayed then they're delayed, it's not an issue for me.

i was going too & i can wait i don't think there will be much in it between the X3 & the Aorus.

The memory is oVerclocked on the X3, which to me is slight concerning as possibly could die eariler, but the Aorus Cooler looks the part + extra year warranty & its in the UK.

overall it was in stock that swayed me, but either will be a great card.

You can over lock the aorus yourself to exactly the same mark as the extreme, it's basically 50 quid for no reason.

Anyway what I've learned from this whole excersise is two things :

1) if you don't really care about the look of the card DONT PREORDER, just check around and buy the first custom that comes up.

2) if you had your heart set on a particular card, just wait it out, it'll be worth it.

My position was that I just wanted it to be custom made, hadn't set my heart on anything in particular, and I'm gaming as of last week!

How ridiculous, they should send the 1st in stock 1st, it's free delivery anyway, one thing I've learned is don't listen to people that think they know, the amp extreme was supposed to be early april, now being told the possibility of another 2 weeks, msi custom have shipped, gigabyte custom have shipped, some asus have come through the cracks and likely to ship in quantities before the amp extreme, what is the point of pre ordering when you still can't even guarantee your in the 1st batch. I can't see this card coming even before other sites estimated eta of the 14th, if it's not here by then I'll cancel.
 
Hope gibbo pops in here again tonight :(
