If these boards and coolers sort out the thermal and power throttling issues, I'll be all over this.

I hope they don't take long with the hybrid versions...

These card's have less memory bandwidth than a 980ti, does this have effect on performance? Can remember a lot of people making a big deal out of this when the 980 came out (versus the 780).

the 980 uses standard GDDR5 whereas the 1080 uses GDDR5X meaning much faster memory, forget the 256 bit bus the 1080 offers 320gb/s vs the 980 Ti 336gb/s hardly any difference in the real world.
1080 is a great balance between Vram, memory bandwidth and just sheer power of the gpu itself, really looking forward to tomorrow

Think that the Strix or any after market coolers will be out tomorrow?

bandwith is roughly the same to be fair.

First look at ZOTAC’s most powerful GTX 1080 variant, the PGF Edition.

Is it me or is this one the nicest? If it has 2 8 pin connectors i'd love to see the results and consider it as a upgrade in the black friday sales

lol some questionable design choices for sure!
maybe the kids will like them

Probably worth staying clear of the EVGA FTW edition until we find out if it is voltage locked like the 980 FTW.

Aretak said:
Not a fan of that new cooler design from EVGA tbh. I liked the understated design of the ACX 1.0/2.0 shrouds. That's a little 'gamer bling' for my tastes.

This, pretty much all of these coolers IMO are hideous. As time goes on the design should become more minimal, not adding extra plastic or metal here and there to make it look more substantial.

Awaiting pictures from the people racing back from OcUK store with 1080/s in hand

Gripen90 · 27 May 2016 at 15:41

I just ordered two of these bad boys

they were "only" £543 per card where as all the other Founders Editions were £630 and the Asus GTX 1080 Strix was £615 and the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming was £666

No pics yet of this card in on OCUKers rig? No one drive to the shop to get one?

Kaapstad · 27 May 2016 at 23:08

So who is going to be first on TROH.
