I wasn't condemning all Chinese manufacturing, far from it. But the Chinese market does have a lot of players of variable (aka lottery) output quality. It has lots of companies making low-end goods on a tight budget. That's just life.
I see where my mistake lies. Corsair decided to re-use the same code-name for two different products. The first TX650M was CWT (80+ Bronze), and I didn't spot the line below which is another TX650M by Great Wall (80+ Gold). I hate it when companies do that. Call it the TX650M2 or something!
Actually Great Wall I'm not familiar with. CWT I personally would avoid.
I'm swaying this way to

Each to their own....but old gen I'd just go with the cheapest personally. The Giga one is £50 cheaper than the Aorus. Note that threre's a sub £700 2080 available too.It might be fugly
but there's a part of me thinking an extra £70 to get that is better value than £630 Aorus.I haven't seen one go anywhere that. I sold my 1080 G1 today for £350 within 2 hours of putting up, I think I should have put it up for more

I don't see any difference between a 2080 (which is really a 2070 imo) and a 1080ti. 2% isn't worth £70. And I don't think we should be rewarding Nvidia's pricing scheme.

You're also rewarding nvidia's pricing scheme by paying £630 for a last gen GPU based on 2.5 year old technology. £70 is nothing. Giga card is better priced tho.
It is funny seeing people use this logic. If you're THAT peed off with Nvidia and want to stick it to them, go by an AMD card! Nvidia don't care what card you're buying, as long as they get your money lol! Not to mention the fact that it's fairly evident the 20xx series was priced where it was so as to clear out Pascal stock. Had the 20xx cards come in at around Pascal prices, it would have destroyed any profit margin on Pascal given the prices they would then need to be lowered to... which given all the excess stock we know was out there, would have seen many resellers suffer quite badly.
That MSI is one of the nicest cards I have owned. Not the best for aesthetics but build quality, noise and performance. I want mine back now, as trying to game at 3440x1440 on this 290X is meh
This^
Couldn't resist. Didn't fancy the 20 series, so bought the MSI from OCUK. Brilliant card, and extremely quiet.
Now all I need to do is upgrade my ancient PC to make more use of it.
Age of technology doesnt matter, just performance.
If £70 is nothing, why are you on a 1070ti?
Because £70 isn't nothing. Neither is £700. For the the same performance, I choose the £70 cheaper card. Je ne regrette rien.

the Strix will probably be more considering their 2080 is only £99 cheaper than an FE Ti.
