[Mr Swine]

Sorry if this has been answered a million times but those 3:red party GTX 1080, are this FE crap Nvidia is pulling?

 

[KurtSloane]

Not sure what you mean.

Sorry I was referring to the guy you quoted spreading nonsense about the performance of the 980's going down after awhile.

 

[wachie]

it is almost a 500$CAD difference in the end

Between a 1070 and 980Ti or you talking about the 1080?

 

[Grief.exe]

I've been out of the loop.

Have people been able to order those EVGA FTW 1080s yet? Any other 2x 8 pin models?

Preorders were up for a bit last night and I snagged one for 700 shipped. Unsure if they still are available.

 

[dr_rus]

Any other 2x 8 pin models?

Colorful iGame GTX 1080 X-Top
EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid
EVGA GTX 1080 Hydro Copper
Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!
Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme

 

[ss_lemonade]

Why will their cards be more expensive where you live when they are about the same or cheaper everywhere else?

Location dependent? I know you can buy zotac and palit 1080s now in the Philippines for a not so cool $840. Inno3d might be available too already for the same price. They're pretty popular in the Philippines

700 for the FTW model?

Looks like this Asus ROG Strix model too

Um, I am new to this but isn't that 8x6?

 

[metsallica]

700 for the FTW model?

It's $679.99. Cheapest shipping was $21. I got one too!

 

[Grief.exe]

Yes.

Generally power supplies come with 6+2 connectors for the GPU.

Where were they available from?

 

[metsallica]

Direct from EVGA: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6286-KR

Thanks.

Good chance this will have a waterblock solution?

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Yes.

I mean wasn't Dr us' list about what models had 2x 8pin connectors? Your response made it seem like you were saying that the card you posted a picture of had one too but it only has 8x6.

I am confused lol.

 

[Barzul]

Shoot if preorders are available for the 1070 on Monday, I'm in there but that probably a big ask seeing how the launch for the 1080 went.

Since they are interchangeable in the PSU sometimes the difference isn't necessarily specified.

I just meant any GPU that gets more power from the PSU.

 

[Hawk269]

Thanks.

If you are going to go H20, I would suggest wait for the Hydro Cooper version of the card. From the pictures I have seen, it has 8x8 pin power versus 8x6 pin power in the FTW. Who knows what other benefits the Hydro will have over the FTW edition as well.

I am just dying to read the first overclock reviews of a Watercooled 8x6 or 8x8 1080. I am going to go out on a limb and say that we will be seeing 2400-2500ghz clocks (unless it is handicapped by NVidia on voltage).

 

[triplestation]

Any word on when the custom cards will release??

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Any word on when the custom cards will release??

Sounds like the first couple of weeks of June, but there's a terrible lack of concrete information and pre-order availability. Just a lot of product details without hard release dates.

Are these 1070 Benchmarks legit?

The results are pretty damn good, especially for a reference card and 2 days away from reviews going public so hopefully this is legit. Now all I'll need is MSI Gaming Edition and I'm sold.

We're so close to review day and that site is shady. I suggst wait for reliable reviews.

 

[Resilient]

I need that 1080 EVGA FTW. Give it to me Australia!

 

[Matty8787]

Gunna pre order me a 1080 this week.

Torn between the inno3d Ichill x3 or the EVGA superclocked..

The inno3d I expect will be a beast of a card but I'm weary over the RMA process with them.

 

[triplestation]

SC for me but gpddamn hurry tf up >.<

 

[OmegaDL50]

$380 is a damn good price for a GTX 1070

Considering paid nearly $350 for my HD7950 back in 2012.

This will definitely be the upgrade I've been waiting for all this time.

I am looking forward to it.

 

[zeox]

I haven't been following this closely, what is the difference between the EVGA FTW and the regular one (non-FE)? Sorry if this has been talked about previously

 

[MikeE21286]

The main ones are the out of the box factory overclock, the custom coolers and the dual pin power. The dual pins allow for presumably better overclocking even on top of the factory overclock.

 

[riflen]

Aquacomputer have announced their GTX 1080 / 1070 waterblock. German text.

 

[JaseC]

I think I'm going to go for the regular ASUS Strix once it's up on Amazon. I'll be rolling the dice vis-a-vis warranty, but ~AUD$80 (USD$620 versus the FTW at USD$680) is a fair chunk of change.

Yep me too, seems to be the best value of the 1080 cards. But I'm going to wait for some reviews first especially to see how the 8+2 power phase handles overclocking compared with other cards. I hope it comes with a bit of a factory overclock coz I'm lazy that way.

Also might be easier to deal with Asus return where I live.

 

[Ozorov]

Whao. EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 is 1100 SEK cheaper then Founders Edition in Sweden. That's 132 dollars.

The core clock is stock standard, however the cooler is the very same as that used on the Gaming model, so you shouldn't have any trouble increasing it to match (and then some, with any luck).

Waiting patiently for the OC testing on the dual 8 pins.

 

[Pepiope]

There's nowhere to pre-order the Strix, right?

I am going to have to wake up at like 6 AM on Saturday to get it?

 

[JimmyRustler]

The 1080 is going for 800 EUR minimum in Germany at the moment. What the heck? 600 $ in the US, 800 EUR in Europe. Makes sense, right? I can't imagine that the price for the 1070 will be below 600 EUR around here. What a joke.

 

[michaelius]

Looks more like 720 if you preorder sane people edition

https://www.caseking.de/pc-komponenten/grafikkarten/nvidia/geforce-gtx-1080?sPage=1&sSort=3

And the one which costs 800 is 700$ is US

 

[nubbe]

I got one of those on order
Should be the same as SC, but without the factory clock

Nice that the new cards are starting to get released. Will go with AMDs new cards myself but these are definitely looking good.

FE: 789&#8364; / 699$ + tax

As Durante pointed out, partner cards start at 660&#8364; (US MSRP: 599$ + tax).

 

[la_briola]

Asus Geforce GTX 1080 ROG Strix: 1.936 MHz Standard-Boost und bis zu 300 Watt

looking good!

edit: probably old and posted

Yeah i'm wondering the same thing myself. This is the most confusing launch I have dealt with.

 

[manny10032]

Nice benchmarks. But I'm waiting for the 1080ti

 

[WadeitOut]

I hate the GPU market. You spend months getting yourself hyped and then you spend a month when it releases trying to figure out why the releasing of GPUs is so convoluted and awful.

 

[Pepiope]

Linus Tech Tips has a 1070 review! here

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Any cards with extra power pins that work with EK's blocks?

 

[opticalmace]

The 1070 looks outstanding. Might even replace my 970 with one.
