Hi there

1080 FTW, we have 70 units due today/tomorrow EVGA have informed me, this will clear all backorders on this part.

Awesome news for many waiting. My EVGA FTW 1080 is a beast! Best card I've ever owned and very happy with it's performance with my Acer X34a 3440x1440p Ultra-Wide. Everything I've played so far on ultra settings is way above 60fps

Hi Gibbo.
If I cannot swap then when can I expect my xtreme card to arrive ?
You mentioned before that you speak to MD/CEO.
At the moment it looks like they are not planning to even sell standard Xtreme.
I understand it's not your fault but understand also me as a customer.
As I said, other queues are live, mine is dead.
Thanks

Good stuff. Let us know once you find out when the Hybrids are due to arrive. Judging by the release schedules of both cards in the US, hopefully a week or two later.

Last time sent in a webnote into CS in June I was 9th in the Queue, I hope no one gets put in front of me for an unforeseen reason!

At least it puts me off canceling in favor of the Titan!

Thanks for the update, its a small batch, but welcome news for sure!

Do a simple test for us if you do not mind, set your fan to 100% and your power limit to maximum, does it boost any higher?

Did this and it went to 2075.5. The perf cap reason was VRef.

Nice!

If your happy to do another test, downclock the memory to stock speeds of 10,000MHz and see if it then boost further please.

Let me ask Gigabyte again, when I asked last they said Extreme PP would be the first batch, but I think it is about time they produced some regular Extremes, will come back to you.

Didn't boost any further.

Thanks for understanding Gibbo

Sorry to be a pain. I do appreciate your support.

Its not a problem.

The issue is I am finding the partners infuriating, I know they are also not to blame as NVIDIA have a lack of supply of GPU and lack of GDDR5X does not help matter but this launch has being hugely stressful.

Over 50 different 1080 SKU's to manage, half of which are always in and out of stock and we can never get enough and communication half the time is weak at best.

Hi there


As expected:

20x EVGA 1080 SC arrived and shipping (16 more due end of next week)
70x EVGA 1080 FTW arrived and shipping (some left spare for fresh orders)

40x MSI 1080 Armor OC arrived (Plenty spare)
7x MSI 1080 Seahawk X arrived

50x Inno3D 1080 X3 arrived (Plenty spare)
5x Inno3D 1080 X4 arrived (Some spare)

10x Gigabyte 1080 Waterforce arrived (Some spare)
10x Gigabyte 1080 Extreme PP more arrived (Plenty spare)

100+ more Zotac AMP & AMP Extreme 1080 arrived, few hundred of each in stock now.


So not a bad say so far, Inno3D turned up early and some little surprises from MSI.

Warehouse only just started shipping and they have 500+ orders to do get out today, they will be done but might take a few hours until you get that all important email notification.

Prices are ridiculous.

I'll hit the buy button when they drop to a reasonable price.

 

[marsh2907]

Yay hopefully mine is in there.

yep, consult this chart for the answer to that one

http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=USD&view=1Y

They might back off the pricing when they release a Ti version - how much did 980 prices drop on the 980Ti release anyone? Not by much I expect.

However, 'reasonable price' is somewhat subjective. It can be priced at whatever level right now since nothing can compete with it (even older SLI configs in some circumstances).

If your looking for a good deal get a 980Ti since it will hammer anything under 4K. Even the 1060s/480s will be more than enough at 1080p if thats your bag.

As for the GTX 1080 pricing structure in general, it was borked by Nvidia's Founders Edition brainwave. Even with a this, limited supply and some hardwired performance limiters turning the partner card differentiator away from performance and into which one has the nicest hat; Nobody can keep these things in stock long enough to keep people out of a preorder queue.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see *you picking up a 1080 this year if your expecting much of a price falloff - with the exception of some dramatic fall in the value of the dollar ( Trump for president )!
