EVGA 1080 FTW up for pre order on Scan UK for £597.90. Kinda amusing that it's £20 cheaper than the FE cards.
Waiting on the 1070s though, but this gives me hope the pricing won't be ridiculous.

All I want to know is when I'll be able to walk in a canadian store and get an Asus 1080 Strix...
What are the estimates on cards like this costing?
North of 750$ for sure. FTW is already 680$, factoring in ~100$ for the AIO and custom PCB seems reasonable.
MSI Gaming X is the most expensive card up for pre-order right now. Costs at minimum 8100SEK in Sweden (That's £666). So it's not the UK price.
Prices for any electronics in the UK are very rarely a straight $ to £ conversion +VAT, they always add more on just because
Guess I kind of expected that. I will just have to determine if I buy a card and add a cooler or buy one already kitted. Made a world of difference for my 390 and I for sure want to do the same for my next card.

AIB customs specs overview from ComputerBase.de:
They also have a quick boost stability comparison there:

Did you try the Newegg checkout links provided? That's how I secured one.
I keep getting stuck at EVGA's checkout shipping page
Same I just gave up.
Don't think I am going to go with the FE. The Thermal throttling turns me off.
Yeah, all it makes me want to do is to grab one of those already nicely discounted 980TIs.
I'm currently on a 760 though.

Keep trying. I literally just got mine in. After you get passed the cart, it works smoothly.
The only thing that sucks is I wanted to order 2, but the site is so broke it wouldn't let me change the quantity. Will hang with 1 for now.

I was referring to the Strix OC version. at scan its a £100 difference for only a higher BC of 0025

Yeah, everything moved lightning fast once you're past the initial bottleneck. I've been waiting on information from a guy at work, so I've had nothing to do, it took roughly 30 minutes of refreshing for it to hit. Which is probably a new record for me (the 20th anniversary PS4 was close though
)Dem premium materials.
Oh right. Scan is taking the piss on the Strix card though. On OCUK, the prices are a lot closer.
Man I really don't understand the reasoning behind MSI giving one of its highest clocked cards (Seahawk) only one 8 pin connector. While all the rest except the base models have at least an 8 and a 6.

I would almost have to say the 20th Anniversary PS4 was easier for me, I think.
Was literally trying for about an hour, more so because I wanted the quantity to change but whatever, I'll just pick up the second one at a later date, and hopefully a lower price.

Zotac is pretty solid despite they're reputation as being the "cheap" brand. They're l like the Vizio of the graphics card world IMO.

Well, the possible reasoning is that Sea Hawk is for those who would like a factory OC card which they won't overclock any further while Gaming X is for those who would like to OC the card above it's factory clocks. Or I dunno.
Because they're pricing it like a 980ti even though technically it should be a 980 replacement. Maybe when the 1080ti comes out the 1080 will drop to current 980 prices, or maybe nvidia will just make everything more expensive
I now have no GPU so it is tempting to grab a 1080 - and given the lack of variety in overclocking I'd probably go for a more standard custom one for about £580-600. But that is more than twice what I paid for my 970 so I really should hold on for news on 1070 pricing

Fuck, I missed Newegg.

Why does this matter? Who cares? FE is FE, no?

I'm more referring to their custom versions from the past, but yes, theoretically FE is FE.

Cool! I was confused for a minute. Building my first ever PC and I just ordered a 1080 FE from a brand I never heard of

Hey guys, are non-reference cards up for preoder in the U.S. yet?
Also, does anyone know any U.S. retailers that still have the FE in stock?

Yes, I pre ordered the FTW from EVGA.com. their site is having issues though so hard to get through.
Lol at the people complaining about the designs of the custom coolers and claiming the obvious superiority of the FE due to the aesthetics. I agree the FE looks pretty badass, but comments I'm seeing are raging against EVGA/Asus for letting them down with these "ugly" card.
I guess Nvidia was targeting the people with windows on their machine. Which I guess is probably a market that exists, like buying an underpowered sports car; though even that has merit if you're just looking for a shiny toy. So maybe these are people who only play competitive mobas, they don't need a badass card, they just need to roll in and look badass.

Damn it! It won't fit in my BitFenix Prodigy case. 6 inches high is the deal breaker. I guess I'm stuck with Founders Edition

I actually like them a lot, I have a 7 years old GTX260+ from them that is still serving in a friend's PC, solid stuff. Might consider getting an 1080 from them if the price is right.

The custom cards seem to targeting the LED backlit table + green tribal tattoo mouse crew.
The opposite of what I´m going for.
FE FTW.

There are other custom cards out there than just EVGA.

Why'd you decide to go FE instead of wait for the other cooling options?
Wasn't trying to talk down to anyone, I just think it's absurd that people are ignoring performance numbers in favor of looks on a product that is defined and made valuable almost exclusively by its performance. It's like complaining the newest, fastest CPU is irrelevant because they used the wrong color grey.

I don't think the SC is actually that wide/tall. The ftw is visibly thicker in the photos, extending past the bracket.

EVGA cards are the smallest.
