I saw the Zotac 1080 for sale this morning. I'm sooooooo tempted to get it and just toss a hybrid cooler on it. After all that is the end game. A hybrid 1080. I just replaced the thermal paste on my 980 ti hybrid and that rascal stays at a nice 53c at 1440/60+ at Witcher 3 minus HW.
Call me a nut job but sometimes I will just let the game sit and just enjoy the beauty of what's going on. Just had a ridiculous cutscene in the first expansion with all sorts of fire going on in the background. I just sat and let it run. Admiring the scenery and watching to see if the card goes any higher. I clearly have issues. I would marry my 980 ti if I could bring it into the real world as a 30 year old Salma Hayek. At the least fornicate the snot out of it until I'm tired of hearing it talk then turn it back into a video card......
