[avatar12m]

i see another site doing all versions of the cards for £619 asus evga etc

Gibbo has explained this already further back.

 

[.Trooper.]

Having had a sleep I think I'll miss this gen all together...

Tbh after I woke up I realised I'll probably just stop buying graphics cards and stick to Intel 4600...

My view is the Saturday deliver covers the difference

Don't forget lads that the FE is a premium product that uses high quality materials, that's why it's £100 more so of course the AIB's will be cheaper! Der...

1080 is £540 not £619 so £120 more expensive than the 980.

where can I get a 1080 for £540? link?

 

[andybird123]

Nope, my post was a bit unclear though.

The FTW is $10 more than the FE and the SC is cheaper than the FE by about $30.

So what I'm saying (and hoping!) is that the custom cards hopefully will range between £550 to £650 and not get into silly figures like £700+

The SC is a reference board with the ACX cooler. So yeah, looking like full custom boards are going to be around the same price as the FE

I'm waiting to see if a Titan emerges.

 

[steverebo]

Well I'm after the SC as I've ordered the full cover block and I'm happy with 2.1ghz core clock and only one cable to route in my case

It will but it will cost 1K

 

[beany_bot]

Why anyone would consider a Titan over a Ti is beyond me. Basically paying £400 for 1 or 2 fps. If that.

extra vram?

I'm talking about the EVGA SC with my prices. I disclosed that in the post.

Plus he was stating the FTW version will be £200 more than the normal AIB versions, which I think is overestimating a bit.

Apologies on that, I missed that part (re SC). Though I bought a 980Ti SC ACX version for £530 a few weeks after release. Honestly the reason 1080 is so expensive is because AMD have nothing to compete with it yet. It's the normal MO for Nvidia and it works.

£1000+ ATLEAST. Buy cards enjoy them. Sell them for a minor loss. Repeat.

1-2 hundred pounds a year at most? For countless hours of smooth gameplay.

Worth it in my eyes.

wait until later, it might be possible to get the Extreme Throttling version for that price, the one with the clown on the front.

 

[steverebo]

Any leaks or hints of whether the AIB cards will be officially launching today and the pricing???

Site still only shows the FE cards

It's because they want to make sure they sell all the "Fleece Editions" (-copyright me) first.

Gibbo was confident OCUk would have the best range of 1080's worldwide. I assume that means the AIB will go up at 14:00.

LOL yeah makes sense although listing them at bang on 2 ain't gonna do the website any good.

 

[Spikey]

I've delayed going into work so I can hopefully order a 1080, roll on 2pm! FTW edition please!
