**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Getting sort of tired waiting for my Seahawk, especially with what was said about the card earlier on this thread from someone who got theirs (and the fact they already got theirs elsewhere!)... I did manage to order mine for £830 before the price went up though, should I just hold on do you reckon? I sort of do want an aio but I could always just go for something else and buy a kit later down the line... I don't know ugh!

I managed to snag a Sea Hawk for the same price too, and yes the waiting is killing me too.

Nope, because a few people on the internet all of a sudden becomes all blown out of proportion because in percentage terms it is always a very small amount, even in the past on cards where it was a genuine issue the actual rate of return was around 6%, Asus have also always and still are one of the most reliable brands we sell, they certainly have a lower return rate than say MSI and Gigabyte do. :)

Is that your way of saying "Don't worry about it as if you get a card with coil whine you will offer a replacement card under manufacturers warranty"?

We evaluate coil whine on a case basis, you return to ourselves, we test the card on a quality PSU and if it is audible within a typical case enclosure to a high level, we replace it.

What we do not accept is people returning cards for whine that is only audible with your head in the case next to the card or when running benchmarks with very high FPS (300+) as this is not how hardware is used or because a poor quality PSU is in usage.

Of course if when we power it up and its screaming, it gets replaced, we are very fair on it and on the basis it is a rare problem we see with graphics cards. Millions of people buy VGA cards, people never post on a forum or very rarely post when they get their card and say hey my card has no coil whine, but people do post when they have an issue, because forums are typically used for trouble shooting.
 
just noticed on the ocuk site that not only do we get the "be the hero" free game but now the strix cards come with Dawn of War 3 free too :)
