Not sure I get it tbh.

I don't get why you care what others spent dollar on..

Be interested to know how you get on with that Alphacool setup.

What temperatures and clock speeds are you getting with the kit?
Looks like a good way of minimising costs every time a new gpu comes along!

Still not hooked up yet but was getting 1880hz at 80c before hand

Grizzly paste on to. Very cheap option , heatsink is £50 which isn't a bad price . makes having a modular system easy and cheap

Received mine yesterday. First impressions are absolutely awesome! Went for the Asus Strix 1080 A8G, seemed good value when you factor in the rebate and free game.

What does it boost to and how well does it overclock

I just ordered the Palit GameRock GTX 1080 from OcUK, it's coming tomorrow and I can't wait. As to why are people buying these, I guess with the price drop they're decent value.

Would it be worth it to upgrade with the EVGA step up from a 1070 FTW2 to a 1080 SC for 80 euros?

BriT · 22 Mar 2017 at 18:37

For 80 euros i would especially if you are on 1440p or higher res.

andy_mk3 · 22 Mar 2017 at 19:49

Agreed, that's a nice upgrade.

How about on a 3440x1440 21:9?

andy_mk3 · 22 Mar 2017 at 22:27

What games do you play? A few benches here at different res: http://www.babeltechreviews.com/titan-x-vs-gtx-1080-25-games-tested-4k-2k-1440p/3/

Thanks for the link. I have 12 of those games. Including GRW and & ME:A
I suppose this will be closer to what I want to know. http://www.babeltechreviews.com/battle-titans-pascal-titan-x-vs-maxwell-titan-x/3/
This one http://www.babeltechreviews.com/gtx-1070-arrives-25-games-benchmarked/4/ doesn't seem to me worth upgrading.
May as well wait for the next Gen

Ah getting my annual bonus...and a big itch got the better of me.

Zotac 1080 AMP now in use, lovely card and the increase in performance over my previous R390 is impressive.
Now I have an itch for a new monitor...going to have to wait to scratch that one though!
