In the UK we almost never quote prices before tax unless it's a business to business transaction.  The £800 they mention in the article already includes all relevant taxes, in fact you can already order that card from OcUK for £809 including VAT.

You guys probably already know, but the Asus Stix have officially announced their Strix vs with over 5% performance increase of the founder, and of course a clock boost.
 
Below is the link to the article, a very quick read and no doubt more in can be obtained from Asus. Personally I will wait for the Evga with new cooling tech. Here:
 

"£800 mark"
 
That's crazy! $1000+ after tax!

Darn, you are right! Holy cow, I didn't look carefully and just assumed it was in dollars. How silly of me. Thanks for pointing that out, Chap34!
 
Still, way cheaper than here in Japan. Amazon are usually great, but they are selling the founders edition at - 237,000 yen. At todays exchange rate that's US$ 2,103.00
That's beyond the pale. I wrote to complain, and only one review is up with the lowest one star. It's in Japanese but strongly questions the price.
It beggars believe!! If you don't believe me, well, I understand, I couldn't believe my own eyes. Feel free to check out Amazon Japan, simple Amazon jp then their search box "GTX 1080ti" will lead you to it.
I can read Japanese, but the Japanese site has an English language option hidden away somewhere, and probably picks up non Japanese IPs. (Auto English) Even in Japanese it's easy to understand.
 
Check it out and weep. Amazon of all companies to try and con - (yeah con - it's beyond scalping) this disgusting  retail action has left me in a state of shock.
 
The only good thing is that includes tax - which is 8% - satire, sarcasm. I can't use the language I want or I'd be banned by the mods. Can't get over it.

Mate, you need to learn how to use the Amazon site, ignore all prices except the ones that are IN STOCK AT AMAZON.
 
I see claims like this again and again but anyone can sell on Amazon and almost everyone is trying to make a big profit, only the stock that is direct from Amazon is at RRP.
 
For example, I was just looking at 1080Ti prices, they only have 3 options and the EVGA Founders is listed at USD849 but see who the sellers are? Look at the prices!! When Amazon has them in stock they will be USD699, as Newegg has them listed at.

Look at the prices, holey crap $1200 for a $699 gpu ....
 
Wait for stock levels to catch up with demand and for non-ref coolers to come out, there will be much better prices then.
 
Cheers. 

Thanks Aussie-revhead. Yeah you are correct. I should have pointed it out. In this case this WAS amazon in stock. They also had links to other third party stores. Similar (one lower) price.
Living in Japan I use Amazon jp at least twice a month and is one of my two go too places for PC hardware. (The other is a physical shop in Japan Akihabara called Tsukumino). Of course prime member and used it for many years so I know how it works. Your comment is valuable though as I guess a lot of folks don't properly understand that.
 
Also, great man, thanks for all those quotes, appreciatted. My problem is, I went to the Amazon US site, but the status of GTX1080ti founders edition is, "currently this item cannot be shipped to Japan."
This often happens on new release and no doubt will change.
 
My post was just for info. It's actually not bothering me as I plan to purchase an EVGA GTX1080ti FTW3 anyhow, and will probably buy locally. Possibly through Amazon jp. Third choice is wait a month until international shipping from Amazon USA is available. Not sure, but even with shipping that usually is the cheapest way. I always do these three thing, everytime.
Of course I also check out other third party sellers, some linked by Amazon too. A lot of companies trying to rip people off on new popular releases as you know. The main reason for my post was I was  shocked that Amazon jp did it themselves with their own stock!! (free same day shipping/arrival). I actually think it may be a mistake. It has actually happened before on Amazon jp. They primarily focus on Japanese customers of course, although that doesn't really seem to have anything to do with it.
 
Thanks again. Good info that all should be aware of. Please believe me when i say this is Amazon jp stock. I checked, double checked and triple checked, then sent an email. I suspect it's temporary. 

Now that we know the dimensions of this card are the same as the titans, 

• Height: 4.376in - 111.15mm
• Length: 10.5in - 266.7mm

does this mean I'll be able to use the Titan XSPC Waterblock's or will the PCB layout be different?
 
I would love for an official EVGA answer on this!

Evga doesnt make the xspc waterblocks. Your best bet is to ask xspc if their block is compatible. Since the FTW3 is not a reference board, I would say No, it would not fit, but you would still need to speak with the waterblock company.

T1MEHUNT
No, I don't need to ask XSPC , cause they already have a list where you can look up which block fits on which cards... i simply need to know on the evga side if this card will have the same fom factor as the titans.
 
Since this cards isn't out yet, xspc wouldn't know anyway right? :)
 
But my bad, i had already posted earlier in this thread that they're blocks fit on all the titan models..  don't wanna search for that post now.. (there doesn't seem to be a propper search function in this forum anyway - or at least i couldn't find it)
 
Anyway, and since we now know the dimension will be the same as the titans, the only thing i still don't know is if the card will have the same pcb layout as the titans...
 
Thanks 
 
edit: posting this link below with the titan cards..
 
 https://static1.squarespa...ty-titan-780-780ti.pdf

The ftw boards have never been the same as reference, and the blocks have never matched in the past because of the extra vrm. The FTW3 will have 3 extra vrm, so a block wouldnt match.

The reference 1080ti would be able to utilize the titan x pascal block.

The specs on the FTW3 look to be generic specs at this time. I have asked EVGA to review this to make sure it isnt incorrect. Either way, reference blocks have never fit the FTW series in the past, and will not fit this one.

T1MEHUNT
Alright thanks,
 
Question is though, does it really makes sense to wanna put this card under water, as it seems to be that it's the fan system that makes this card so appealing to the people in this thread, correct? I't doesn't really seem anyone else in this thread is interested in watercooling... am i missing something?

I am 100% for watercooling anything that will accept a waterblock, but honestly... it is 100% user preference. Many people will like the 3 fan design and choose to stick with it, but I like the look of watercooling more than air cooling.

Most people buying these cards will probably stick with air so they can retain the RGB and 3 fan feature. That is just a guess at this point though.

@EVGA_JacobF 
 
This isn't a criticism, but I am wondering if there will be enough stock when these come in. After seeing how badly the demand was underestimated I'm hoping the sales figures were taken into account. I hope this short supply won't last through the SCs and FTW versions also. 

You can preorder the strix with ebuyer £799

Specs now up on product page. Also people are saying 2nd 3rd week of April.

This card looks nice but I really want a GTX 1080ti FTW HYBRID 😠

meizme
I am considering returning my 1080tiFE's to get the FTW3's my PC setup dumps a ridiculous amount of heat and i still suffer from the thermal limitations.
whats the cost increase going to be for the FTW3 over the founders cards?

Problem is your cards are going to dump heat somewhere.  With the FE's its outside your computer with other cards all heat is dumped inside you box and really heats stuff up.  I had a 1080FTW and 1070FTW folding in my box.  My radiator is at top of my computer and my coolant temp for CPU was running 43C.  Took 1080FTW out and put in 1080TI FE and coolant temp dropped to 38C .  I am debating a second 1080TI card to help folding.  Do not care about SLI.  So if I got a 1080TI FTW it would be my top card and move 1080TI FE below it so it would run cooler with no heat climbing into it and the 1080TI FTW should run cooler than my 1080 FTW since it would not have heat dumping up into it.
 
If price is to high for 1080TI FTW I will just grab another FE edition.  So far the clocks did not jump that high from the just released specs on the FTW.

you could add the evga 1080/1070 hyrbid kit to it. i bought 2 kits, but waiting on more stock to get the cards.
 
to note. you have to make 3 mods on the hybrid kits for them to fit. you have to cut a small square out for a chip. itsparallel to an open area on the top plate, so its an easy place to cut out, 2 cuts. you have to cut out the area for the additional pins (again on a side, so its easy 2 cuts for the piece to be removed). then you have to shave down the back section for the caps using a drum sander on a dremel. all these mods are on the hybrid kit top plate. so you can always put the stock 1080ti back together without any mods done to it. the hybrid kit would still work fine for a regular 1080 after the mods with the only visible difference being the cut out for the pins.
 

Nice
 
Get those finger limber, ready .... set ..... order

I gotta admit in this day and age it seems watercooling is the only way, and everyone wants EZ AIO at least us plebs... the question is will there be an FTW hybrid? 

Shadow8600
Can I get a quick confirmation that those are the correct dimensions? The SC and SC black, also have the same ones listed under dimensions. My GTX 980 ftw is also the same. Just want to make sure, because the 3 fan thing scared me into thinking I might need a bigger case.

The ftw3 dimensions are wrong in the specs. The only thing thwy have available at this time is a rendering, so final measurements will come when the release the actual card.

It is NOT the same size as a reference card.

hi all,
 
on 28th march can we pre order from amazon or only from here
 
cause amazon has free shipping
 
ready to pay 770$ for FTW
