**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

As I posted earlier, I have a Zotac AE on preorder since 30th of March. Called up CS and was told I'm in the first 20, but stock is coming in slow. Only 5 came in the 2nd batch over Easter. He wasn't sure at the time when more will come.

He wasn't sure on stock for the Aorous Xtreme either. I decided to preorder it as well, and incredibly it was dispatched over lunch time! :D

Not my preferred card but I'm happy to have one, so will be cancelling my Zotac.

This is the problem with zotac, they are small fry as far as I'm concerned, i was very lucky when i pre ordered, to be in that 1st five, zotac will have lost a lot of sales for being to late to release, i feel for company's like that because it will eventually end them, so many people want the 1st thing that comes out and sod the rest.

right.. that's why Zotac finally released specs and EVGA was still nowhere to be found.. ;-) and right now the ETA is in 1 month!! 19th of May! While Asus Strix OC is in stock! ;-) https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...dr5x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-410-as.html Happens to the best I'm afraid and in no way is a sign of things to come in my book at least ;-) On a side note, I would still go for https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...dr5x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-001-au.html if the Zotac wasn't to be delivered in 1-2 hrs time ;-P

Ok aside from evga but everyone knows they are usually late, hence I've never owned an evga card lol.

And to be honest the 1080 ti was announced in feb so any card not coming out until may is pathetic to be fair.

Hi all, got a question...

I cannot get my Firestorm spectra settings to save on my Amp Extreme 1080ti. Every time I reboot my PC the settings revert back to settings I hav not chosen, anyone know a fix?
 
Anyone received an AORUS Xtreme today? Mine arrived but the Gigabyte part no on the box is for a standard AORUS not Xtreme version (there's an X in the Xtreme part no). Raised a webnote to ask CS but just thought I'd see if anyone else has had the same? Not opened the anti-static bag yet so it can go back "unmolested" if needs be.

Cheers in advance.

Edit: Just received an email about a mix up so it looks like this one's going back.

ok, so the card arrived as expected! One thing I didn't expect (silly of me I know) was the sheer length of this beast!! I mean I have the EVGA 1080 FTW but it has 2 fans not 3 as I foolishly assumed (I don't look into my case too often) so when it came time to fit the AE I had to start by removing one of the hdd 'cages'. It sits inside snugly and am in the process of driver installation. Will report back after I had a chance to test things out ;-)
 
Guys

Strix OC in stock but the 50 spare we had already only 7 left!!

AMP in stock and over 100

Aorus 9 in stock be quick

Also 20 AMP Extreme due Tuesday / Wednesday next week which will clear all remaining backorders!

Also we have an FE card at only £650 inc !!!
 
Knowing how quickly these things are flying off the shelves I just ordered another Aorus Xtreme to cover the return of the standard Aorus that I was sent in error. I'm now hurriedly refreshing the page hoping to see the available stock drop by one....MY ONE. Now I remember why I got out of the "buying the latest PC components" malarkey. :D:p Hopefully OCUK will refund my original postage too, seeing as it wasn't my fault. I'll ring tomorrow to find out.

On the customer service front, I wasn't overly happy to be waiting on the phone for 10 minutes only to be cut off whilst in the queue on the dot of 17:30. I appreciate that people need to get away but even so.
 
Despite my elation in my Aorus Xtreme despatching the same day I have ordered, I got an email later informing me that I may or may not have got the wrong card due to a booking error in the warehouse :(

I had cancelled my preorder for the Zotac AE after this dispatched, so would be a bit rubbish if I'm now at the back of the queue of the cards I want!

Well I cancelled my EVGA pre order for the FTW3 and was going to order the Strix when 2 were left in stock, As soon as I got to the checkout is was out of stock grrrrr, ended up ordering the Aorus Extreme. I hope it's a good card and no coil whine. I've used an Asus Strix GTX 970 and Palit GTX 1080 with this setup and no whine, So I'm hoping for another quiet card.
