Yes we are one company but if you buy from them you return to them, not us.

I've check the prices with the german partner site, they seem great. Do any of you get hit with import duty costs on the way in?
They also have the G1 TI cards IN STOCK!!

There are no import duties within the European Union.

Well, i'm joining the club... mine arrived today

Sadly had no time to test them tonight

I've never heard of Manli before a manufacturer. Are they new? Who's their parent company? Palit as well?

Gripen90 · 18 Jun 2015 at 23:11

I am on the list, but I just had to share the photo

C3PO · 18 Jun 2015 at 23:11

It's the OCUk brand. BTW, max temps according to GPU-Z are 85 degrees C - isn't that quite high?

Highlands · 18 Jun 2015 at 23:21

If I'm not planning on doing any high overclocks, would just SLI reference cards be the best for a new build out of the box?

Or should I splash out that extra for a G1

No, if you read every other GTX 980Ti reference review you will see that nVidia set the target temperature to 84 degrees celcius to get the max performance out of GPU Boost 2.0.

You have 3 reference cooler cards in SLI now right? Please let me know what max temps are like while gaming and during Firestrike.

Still not made up my mind on getting a 3rd card.

Also some FPS number for Witcher 3 at 1440p Ultra with Hairworks would be much appreciated.

Edit: That cable braiding on the PCIe cables look nice. I'm still annoyed the EVGA Supernovas come with red PCIe cables

EVGA Sell other colours.

Waiting for the EVGA Hydro copper come in stock on Tuesday then I'll be apart of the crew

Ugh, just had a look. €80 for some white or black cables. They don't just sell the PCIe ones.

The cards run at the set target temperature as set by nVidia to 84 degrees celcius. That's the hottest they get during gaming and Unigine Heaven 4.0 loop. In 3Dmark Fire Strike (Extreme and Ultra 4K) they run cooler.
I have them overclocked from 1000@1250MHz GPU (base clock) and 1753@1945MHz Vram.

Razor Time · 18 Jun 2015 at 23:57

Anyone messed with the custom bios yet and if so what sort of clocks are you getting? Also how much extra voltage are you giving the card?

You're looking at the US site, not the EU one.

No point in ordering from the US only to have Irish customs bend me over.
They recently charged my old man 90% the value of a Dell laptop battery that was shipped from Hong Kong direct from a UK seller.

Guess on the bright side when I get a better PSU it'll come with black cables

That's pretty darn nice for Tri-SLI. No issues with the boost clock dropping then?

Seems I'll likely get a new PSU and 3rd 980Ti sooner than expected so.
