** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

I suspect the Xtreme won't be much higher either. Perhaps I might cancel the order and go for a cheaper card instead.
Will the custom board manufacturers be able to produce a custom bios that bypasses whatever restrictions nvidia have put on the card? Will you pay more just in case you can unlock an extra couple hundred MHz in a few weeks/months?
Considering how cool the water cooled ones are, I am surprised at the limited overclocking.
I think 8Pack was hinting that we won't see higher clocks on cards. Only a few golden samples able to overclock better. It sounds as if there is a wall with the architecture of the chip and a custom BIOS won't be able to bypass this.

Its a card for overclockers, no one will be keeping it on stock clocks,it has dual bios for a reason.
Doubful as previously mentioned 8pack said that there is a wall when it comes to the voltage as 1.25 seems to be the upper limit which aapears to be hardware level or driver or combination of both. So with that in consideration we might only see those magical cards that will go past 2.2 - 2.25 and stay there 24/7 for gaming.

Interesting. Will help me make my mind up for the SC or FTW 1070.
I have a feeling they'll be achieving the same OC (luck of the draw when it comes to the chip, as opposed to the card you get) and the slightly bigger fans won't have much effect. So the £30 is really only for the RGB..

Well the larger cooler might allow it to run more quietly at the same OC.
I thought the FTW cooler was the same as the SC though, just with a custom board?
Keep telling yourself that
Its been told in about 6 youtuber videos with confirmation from evga rep at computex
Ftw fans are 10mm bigger and PCB is larger too

I know it's fact. I'm saying it so you feel reassured if that is your purchase as I am with mine
I ordered the Classified on the 1st June and I was 29th in the queue (hopefully I will receive mine in the first batch).
I was told they were getting 500 in but I would take that with a pinch of salt.

An extra 30 for bigger cooler, custom PCB, various other things.. worth it I think... cooler on FTW looks really good.

For the price difference vs what you're paying overall, the FTW is a much better choice.
Hi Ben, Overclockers said they could receive the Classifieds on the 10th June. I take it this information is completely wrong?
If it does the same thing with slightly bigger fans and lights.. sure thing
