Worth mentioning that the iChill is almost at it's limit in normal use. Computerbase had it running at 1420-1470rpm when playing games and it hovered at around 80C, and the max speed for those fans is 1550rpm. It is quiet compared to Asus default fan profile, but it is also almost maxed out even in their test. You might have issues if your ambient temp is higher than average.

Hardware.Info: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X is much better than Founders Edition
Between 900 and 1000 USD. Coupled with ruble loosing 50% of its price during the last two years it leads the this price being approximately 2x of current average monthly salary in Russia or about 1x of current average monthly salary in Moscow.

Core and boost? Scan have them at
Core Clock:
1733 MHz
Boost Clock:
1873 MHz
they stll say the 17th as well.
Yeah, I remember some sites already had them up on 'launch'. However they have never been on the official EVGA site. I don't like how intransparent they are about the cards but I guess if they had reliable dates or facts to share, they would.
I wonder if you can run those MSI fans at like 20%. Previous generation coolers from just about every manufacturer had issues with fans not able to run at low RPM. If you want to get the fans spinning from 0%/0RPM, it would often take 30-35% to get them running and that already can be a bit loud if you want really quiet.

pls no
There's a lot of info coming in now. I'm trying to determine the champion when it comes to speed (base/boost) right out of the box, without overclocking. That's the one I want to preorder. Currently have it on the EVGA FTW and the lack of info on base/boost is causing me to think I may have bet on the wrong horse.
What do you mean a lot of info coming in now? Reviews or something?
I know reviews are forthcoming as most aren't released until 6/4 so until then, I'd be happy with just the base/boost. Stands to reason this would be a good enough to determine performance right out of the box.

Temperatures are atrocious and my blower was running at 100% because I have the card inside an RVZ02 (very small, thin mITX case with poor GPU ventilation), but my FE 1080 overclocks approximately the same, even with the ~25mhz dips when the temps go above 85:
The above test was in Unigine Valley 1.0, benchmark, at 1440p, 8xMSAA, Ultra, basically all maxed.
Given I will be putting it under an EK waterblock/custom dual radiator loop in a new mITX case today, the temps will go WAY down, and I can then assess the OC performance a bit better. But for an FE inside what is most likely the hottest/worst ventilation case in the market (the GPU's blower is working alone, no active ventilation), I am not displeased.
I don't think in the end we'll see that much of a difference in OC potential between FEs and even the higher end versions like the FTW. How much your chip overclocks will most likely still essentially come down to silicon lottery, within 50-100mhz of margin, which is an insignificant 5% at 2000mhz+.

Galax HOF seems to be the current "champion" here but I'd wait for Gigabyte Xtreme and MSI Lightning before deciding on this.

The FE edition look is growing on me, but I think it has to do more with AIB coolers looking bad.

That's what I fear. Your FE overclocked way too good compared to the reviewers. I think it all comes down to aesthetics, fan noise and your brand loyalty.

tl;dr
If the rumors of Asus raising the price of the STRIX is true then they've just lost a sale from me now and in the future.
I don't understand why they would do this when they had to have priced the card for a profit in the first place and they have a LOT of popularity atm. They could have dominated this series release easily along with the price/perf that they had which would have translated to much more sales in the long run. Now, if they do this, they will just lose a lot of faith and popularity with many potential customers who will just go with a cheaper similar performing card anyway because the OC potential of this series of cards looks to be minimal in real world results anyway. They had a really good wave of PR going and it would have only gotten stronger from word of mouth so why on earth would they throw sand bags in it's path?
I don't know, maybe my anger is coming from the fact that I run a business myself but I try to run it as fairly and just as possible. Which works btw.

OCUK raised the price by £40 today, now around £660.
wait wat? When did this happen? What's the price of the founders edition in the UK?
Normally £619, although Overclockers bumped some of those to £635
.....................................
This was the worst time ever for me to jump ship from AMD to Nvidia. Holy shit.
Now I wonder what the chances are that other AIBs will see an increase in price to above FE levels.
EDIT: false alarm, whew.

That's insane if true. I'm not sure if it's going to be the same situation if North America but that with the high noise level is making go msi this time.

The upping of the Strix happened today, and also noticed Scan lowered their price by around £40/50 making them the same price now.
It's likely just short term profiteering. The higher prices cards are ones with ETAs on so in guessing the others are further out. EVGA FTW still at £608 (or £579 on Amazon)
Huh... They've been in stock on NCIX (and I think Newegg too) since launch. That's for the FE obviously but theb again none of the other cards are available anywhere yet.
I have the EVGA FTW card pre-ordered on MemoryExpress.

wow, Novatech are selling the founders edition cards for £679.99
is the RRP being raised on the 1080?

No, shops are being bastards
Doubt it, probably just retailer scalping. Scan has been selling the Strix for £700 from the start.

Hopefully we see the Strix up on Amazon today.
ShogunDarius

so can someone explain something for me, using Total Warhammer as an example, how will a 1080 improve from going to DX11 to 12
Novatech are as bad as Scan as far as high prices goes. Every now and then they'll have a real bargain price on something but for the most part they just jack up their prices to a piss taking level.
Ebuyer and Amazon UK are the best places to buy computer components these days.
Edit: and if Asus have put up the price of the Strix up then they can fuck right off. My choice of three cards has just dropped down to two - the EVGA FTW and the Inno3D iChill X3/4.

Any idea when EVGA will announce the release dates for their cards? This talk about the FTW being pushed to late-June is getting me worried.

Who said that it will improve by going from DX11 to 12? And why should we use TWW as an example for this?

I heard games will have improvements when they implement DX12, and TW is getting that patched in next month, might be this month actually
Maybe June 10, Maybe June 17. Those two are the dates most often associated with EVGA SC/FTW models (and most cards to be honest). Might be later than that, no one knows. June 24 is also a popular day, all three dates being Fridays so they are basically just saying it might happen during that week. There's no solid info on any release dates, just estimates, rumors and whatever the companies say at any given day.
Is that a founders card? Can't find any info about that.
Edit:
Asus GTX 1080 Founders Edition

I'm just not sure now, Scan have FTW 17th, but according to them the Gigabyte G1 gaming is due today! Now that can't be right...

Well, on one hand TWW is CPU limited but I'm not sure that it's actually API limited so DX12 might not help there as much as one would expect. On the other hand you should consider than DX12 version of TWW is being actively pushed and sponsored by AMD again so using it for any type of comparison on NV cards is pretty meaningless.
