isnt it cheaper to buy the card with a water block on it already or buy a reference card and add a water block?

It usually costs very close to the same thing, without waiting a couple of extra months.

ahhhhh. didnt realize it would be months. awesome thank you for all the info today across multiple groups in the forum lol.

I like helping as much as I can, I like talking to everyone, and i am trying to keep up, lol. Im taking a break at this point.

Quick comparison though, before price adjustments and such start occuring.

1080 ftw card =$649 by itself.
Ekwb for ftw = $139 by itself.

Total=788 + shipping

1080 hydrocopper, same clocks, and all = $779

Tota 779 + shipping


Reference board 1080 = 629 take note that it's only a $20 difference here.

Ekwb reference 1080 waterblock =$113.99 also about $20 cheaper.

Total = $743 + shipping, but you dont have to wait for the custom pcb to be released, and then you dont have to wait for the custom waterblock to be released.

so the 1080 water block will probably not work on the 1080 ti. aka no chance of ordering water blocks before the 1080 ti comes out?

I think I remember you helping me a couple years back on my x58 build or possibly right when I put my x99 together hahaha.

The 1080ti is the same layout as the titan x pascal.

Basically waterboocks are right here 1080ti reference blocks

Someone school me here, If my EVGA Sc2 Icx is 1708 and 1804 clock speeds what are the clocks on the 1080ti founders card? As this is my only option as I have read to step up if and when they have it as a option

They will be the nvidia reference clocks. 1582 boost clock.

So is it worth upgrading if my card can boost higher or what am I missing. (Rookie sorry)

I just received my GTX 1080 FTW2 last night....And after reading the legitimate specs on the Ti....I am upset that I didn't wait (because I bought it in haste after selling my 980 FTWs on a spur of the moment to a colleague at work)...And the Ti specs do look impressive and I'd imagine they would be an improvement even over the FTW2-. I know the estimated percentage is around 25 to 30 (according to ASUS, which I think is garbage anyhow) but even with all the fancy stuff what I really want to know is....For the money that I would spend to order it or buy it up here in The Great White North (that's minimum 1285- based on cost calculations of the FTW2 which I just rec'd last night via UPS and had to pay Duty and Tax, plus US to CAD conversion)....Is the performance gain really worth the money for the Ti over my new FTW2?   And what exactly does the performance look like in the real world? (not just graphs, benchmarks, data spreadsheets)....But tangible evidence?  Because the Ti is still at least another 5 to 700 more than the FTW2 when all is said and done.    But even if the performance made this Ti "the card to have for the next half century"...The price would be prohibitive for me.  So I'm going to be quite happy with my new FTW2 and run this new system for as long as I possibly can.

OMG I cant believe with how this is awesome for VR and they still put 1 HDMI port on it ? What is wrong with NVIDIA , 3 Display Ports? Ask yourself how many firkin people use 3 display ports, my guess less than 20% 
 
 the first MFG that makes one with 2 HDMI ports wins

Highly unlikely you will see them change up the post layout. I can see them telling people to use a Dp to HDMI adapter.

There needs to be a KPE on this!! Or riot!! 

still going to wait for the 2 or 3 fan version and a 1080 TI classified.  MY 1080 GTX FTW is waiting for the icx version ok and using my 980 TI classified for now.  my 980 gets the same fps as my 1080, but the 1080 draws scenery in much faster.  from reviews, the new titan with 1 blower fan reaches max temp really fast and then throttles down.  so will wait for the 2 or 3 fan version.  sorry wallet, but nice toys are spendy.

Come On Step Up!!!!   I just bought my 1080FTW 4 days ago, installed it 2 days ago.....man I knew I should had waited!!   But then I was told about the Step Up program.....I really hope that this is applicable!!!!

Should the EVGA 1080 Ti be available on Amazon/Newegg on the 10th? 

for all we know  wordwide buy is sett for 10th yes

Like with the 1080, will sellout quick. out of stock for a while.

Yeah and good luck getting one for $699.00.

Well I hope the 1080 Ti FTW comes out soon. What should I do to make sure I find out about any pre-orders or sale for it ASAP? I don't want to miss out.

This baffled me too. VR card, and you put 1 hdmi port, WHAT? Like you said, who uses 3 displayports on 1 card anyways?

I do, because I have 3 monitors that accept displayport. Its not really that hard to believe.


Lets also state.. vr usually needs 1 hdmi, correct? So why do you need more than 1 for VR? Display port has always been far ahead of hdmi, so it should be more available.

LOL.... My last 6-9 Monitors have all had Display Port.  If you are running High End cards, you usually have either a 2560x1440 monitor, or a nice 4k screen, or something along those line, unless 3x1080 or something along those lines.  My current monitor is the 1st time, in almost 5+ years, that it uses HDMI 2.0, but I digress.  But even when I did my short stint in triple, I did 3x 2560x1440, so I loved all the Display ports.  Before, you had to mess with Dongles and adapters.... blah...  I think the current port layout is perfect.  I think they came up with this layout before VR took off.  Thats why I think they will stick with it, but make the special VR editions, with the HDMI front panel add-on like some of those others I've seen.
