Ok Overclockers shppied my MSI 1080ti with EK waterblock, arriving tomorrow. Very excited
Think I'll maybe order one myself over the weekend, been playing a few more games recently and currently only have an HD6870 so it's long overdue an upgrade. I realise folks have said wait for benchmarks for the new series but I can't see it affecting me too much as either card will be a huge upgrade for me.
In your situation I’d be getting the 1080ti, I assume you’re not gaming on 4K!
It’ll be a monster upgrade, about half the price of the 2080ti. At anything under UW 1440p and under, it’s an absolute destroyer.
MB is updated with custom BIOS to support window boot from PCIe NVMe with UEFI mode. CPU is 6 core Sandy Bridge E over locked to 4.8GHz and PSU is 1000 Watt.
Hopefully everything goes as planned for this big upgrade.
You're right, don't have 4k. I've a 1440p screen which I had got a while ago for using with Lightroom and Photoshop so think the 1080Ti would be ideal for another few years.
If I remember correctly core voltage is 1.4What volts do you need for that 4.8 buddy?
1.375 plus LLC on the middle setting gets me 4.6 but I was thinking of pushing it some more. You using the bolts4breakfast bios?
Played with 1080ti over the weekend absolutely Beast , coming from 680 difference is day and night. It was running around 70°C under the load after installing water block is not going over 55°C after an hour Heaven bench running , already OC to 2Ghz.Very happy for you man. Underwater with a nice OC, it'll be a hell of a card. What are you coming from?

Very happy with my purchase.
That aside, the 680 has genuinely been a 5 year card.
Nice one, I made the jump from a 680 to 1080ti too. You know the 680 was starting to show it’s age when you don’t have enough VRAM to even play modern games at full screen size. That aside, the 680 has genuinely been a 5 year card.
We need the South Koreans to bring out a graphics card and shake up the market like they did with TV's/monitors..
He's actually correct. The 2080ti is double the launch price of the GTX280 and triple that of the FX5800 Ultra.They have not, USD prices are quite similar
not to mention not every game is the same, my 1070 cannot maintain 60fps in FF15 on 1080p. This is with many of the settings only on medium/average as well. With everything set high textures want double figures of gigs of memory allocation, and framerates drop to below 20 in places. All at 1080p.
