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.

First time ever I think for a new release where I'm totally not feeling any itch to part with my money at all :|

Doesn't help though that pretty much all the games I play (which includes some recent ones) play fine with ultra or close to ultra settings on the GPUs I've got.

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.

Did you not say "if any 1080 come in at 520, I will get one for everyone on the forums"?

I will have the gigabyte Xtreme please, PM for my address for sending.

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?? :confused:

Why do you need an FE for sli?
 
GTX 1080 EVGA FTW ordered. Can't believe I bought it. My last expensive card I'll buy I think. This will do me for a few years. Not really interested in 1080 Ti model. That will cost nearly a £1000 I gather.

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.

Yerrr, my reasons also. Downsides of having a case made of all glass, shows everything and partial to the aftermarket designs this time around and in SLI and as a blower in general works easier for me in my case.

Having used reference before I understand how it throttles and behaves so results I will get are not unexpected, simply ramp up the fan. :)

Your on the forums for a hardware retailer on a pretty big day selling for now what is one of the quickest GPU's available. Hardly surprising surely?

I will say I am also surprised the custom cards came in cheaper then they did. Was expecting FTW closer to £675 really :)
 
That MSI gaming card is coming up at less in DOLLARS over the pond. Thats actually sick. It's bad enough when they swap dollar for pounds but to actually have it in more pounds than dollars. Jeso.

3 choices that i can't picl

- Asus 1080 DirectCU III Strix
- EVGA 1080 FTW ACX 3.0
- Gigabyte 1080 Xtreme Edition

what you guys think ?
Click to expand...

The EVGA is a very popular card, I've had great results buying Gigabyte GPUs personally and would be my choice but others have had mixed results. Won't personally give Asus any more of my money after recent fiascos.

9 months from now 1080 £300 used, smart man awaits the proper pascal.
Click to expand...

cards are always worth half what you paid over the course of about 9 months give or take.... you can live your life waiting or just get on with gaming

I don't quite know why people think they are "smart" for depriving themselves of fun and enjoyment... you can't take it with you!

FTW ordered, but I might change that depending on reviews - I have the 980ti Strix and the 1080 Strix is only £10 more

Those MSI prices though :eek:

Nah.. that will be the Titan super milking edition. Should have better competition when the big cards come out so better prices.

I resisted.

The more I think about the 1080 and the pricing the more I get less excited.

Now its here....its like (is that it)
Click to expand...

That's always what hype feels like if you resist :D

I'm hoping the FTW will be maybe around £575 in late June/early July. I'll keep my eyes peeled on the markets
