Soon as their available expect a slash in price by £50/100 within 2 weeks same as my monitor lost 200 in 2 weeks

Pre-orders are always more expensive for anything including most games

The above does not bode well for anyone who plans to put their FE 1080 inside an actual case rather than an open test bench. ;)

When ComputerBase installed their 1080 in a case they found that the clocks are seriously impacted by temperature. They managed to reduce the throttling by raising the power target to 20% and the temperature target to 92C.

Obviously this increases power usage and decreases max OC potential.
 
Give me a number between 1 and 9

And another

4

And another 9

Ordo the senibke thing and increase fan profile even open test benches reaches 82c nvidias fan profile is too leant as normal
 
So it throttles, a lot over time.

No word of that from any mainstream reviewer, universally they all over hype the thing...

You cannot trust people who depend on the vendors they report on for their livelihoods.
 
I'm desperate to upgrade from my 780 but I can't understand these prices. This card is effectively a successor to the 780 separated by a generation so even with 3 years passed I can't understand the £200 price difference. It's not that I can't afford it, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Very much hoping the AIB cards are more reasonably priced and don't take the lead from the FE on price. Time will tell.

Should have seen the NVidia engineer on the pcper live stream when asked about the 1080 Ti.

*Nervous laugh* "ohoho we can't talk about that can we" etc

Also I love how people just automatically expect the 1080Ti to beat the 1080 in price : performance exactly the same as the 980Ti did.

Surely it's cheaper to order one from the USA and pay all the additional taxes?

$700 = £482 + 20% VAT = £578.4 + Handling Fee £13.50 = £592
Add shipping and it's basically the same.

The only reason they get it cheaper in the US is because of lower sales tax in a lot of states.

The reason they get it cheaper is because of no sales tax. Consumers have to report it to the IRS themselves or something like that, which obviously doesn't happen a whole lot.
