Managed to snag two FEs.
Since I'll be going SLI the coolers are quite nice and I don't plan on overclocking anyway, however I will step-up to the EVGA Classified when it comes out.

The sites so slow. Trying to order EVGA 1080 FTW. I gave in. My last time
One of them must be wrong... both x2 8-pin, same specs... £100 swing?! Something not right there!
That Galax has come in cheaper than I expected at £525, but I still wouldn't touch it. Be interesting to see how well that sells.

So am i crazy in thinking that you have to be mental to order the FE edition when it throttles like a mofo by all accounts, only has 1 Power connector and is more expensive than a lot of the better cooled and higher clocked AIB offerings?
Im puzzled.....
Really tempted to order the EVGA FTW, will be my first Nvidia card in like 12+ years, price is fairly decent too compared to the rest.

Well, aesthetics are still pretty important to me and everything except the FE that's currently available (except the MSI) looks like trash and since I need new cards (old ones went to the girlfriend) I can't wait an undetermined amount of time for the MSI release.
Plus, not going to overclock, it's in a case with great ventilation and since they will be SLI I want to avoid the issues I currently have with the MSI coolers where the top card runs 20C hotter and this causes issues.
Plus with EVGA I can step-up to the much nicer Classified when it releases.
.Mental? Possibly, but we all have our reasons.

I'm out of touch, I must be. I can't believe there are so many people desperate enough to buy this overpriced, over-hyped, glorified future mid range card that is causing the website and forum to run slow.
Money - fools - parted - easily.
I am surprised by some of these prices, although I can't help but feel like we've been tricked... the sky high stupid price of the FE knocked us off our feet, therefore softening the blow of what are still some very expensive custom cards. Overall though, prices are definitely a bit cheaper than I was expecting. Really begs the question though, why would anyone buy an FE now, unless for SLI (but even that's not a necessity), or an SFF build??
