I'm staying strong, hanging in there for an SC.
Not sure if I'm stubborn or plain stupid - time will tell I guess

Arghhh, moved to 5th then. I changed at 12:30 and they told me I was 4th...nobody else switch please
Has anyone seen how the msi gaming x stacks up against the ftw in terms of cooling and noise? Tempted to switch to the msi as I can get it sooner. Can only manage a 2 slot cooler so I'm a bit limited in choice. Strix is to loud at load for me.
Hate the look of the msi but no case window so won't see it- all about thermals
G1 would also be OK but I think the msi is quieter and cooler if I recall?

Has it? I thought it was a reference board as EK list that its compatible with the reference waterblocks????

Anyone had a MSI 1080 Gaming X shipped today? I'm hoping there somewhere in that pile of stock
My MSI Gaming X just got shipped. Was a bit peeved to miss out by one yesterday but it's impressive from MSI and OCUK that another shipment came in the very next day!
Glad I switched from the FTW now to what by all accounts should be a great aftermarket card as well.

Was in the same predicament but in the end went for the MSI.
I've had MSI since my 560Ti (I have a 770 now) and although I'm not really liking the look of the MSI this time round my girlfriend thinks it looks awesome and just like you dude, it'll be in my case so it doesn't bother me. I feel it'll probably look better in the flesh though.
From the reviews I've read the FTW performs slightly better than the Gaming X by a few frames here and there but it is overclocked slightly more than the Gaming X out of the box.
They both seemed to be quite too and temps also seemed roughly the same from the reviews I've read / watched.
For me it was getting it sooner and also I know what I'm buying with MSI so I went for the Gaming X.
Talking of the Gaming X 1080. Does anyone know if more stock came in today at all?*
*Dude above me has already answered. I'm holding out hope mine will get shipped today too! I was 44th in the queue yesterday!
