Are they being sold anywhere else?
Also how do I know what size I need?
First time using SLI
If you need to ask, then you are not extreme

I think you bought a video card?
I wanted the msi card but after reading about this one I kinda want this one instead..

I'm not even sure which of these non-FE 1080s to get. Seems like they're all okay from what little I have read so far (still doing some reading). Should I just grab whatever is available if there isn't that much of a difference between them?
Lol that's why I re ordered through newegg and it'll get here Monday
Can you post a link to them? All im seeing on the store is the standard ones..... Im super curious to see my benchmarks with this thing and my dual 1080s vs the evga one I have. Prob .000001 percent!
NM found them on the 1080 page

Yeah, seem to be the case. You should be able to get 120Hz on DP though.

if anyone has Discover they will be having a 5 percent cashback bonus on Amazon.com purchases starting in July. It should give you a decent return.

If there is no space between your cards in the case, so they're right up against each other, you want the two space. If there is a single slot between them, you want the three. If there's two spaces between them, you want the four.
Skip founders and grab the cheapest thing you can get

Gotcha. Thanks!
Can I know that just by looking inside the case?
I have a Fractal R4

I was literally F5ing it, saw the button, got the payment screen and it booted me. It lasted less than 10 seconds in stock or something is wrong with my shit.

Got the gigabyte in cart, clicked order after entering my payment info, then got the order couldn't be processed message. Brutal ;_;

I got the cancelled email too LMAO
Case, not really.. but I'm not sure the status of your PC/build. You'd measure the distance between the center of the PCIE slots the 2 cards will be plugged into on the motherboard.
Sorry was afk for a lot today since I posted that.

It depends on the motherboard, not case. Generally (always?) there'd be a PCI slot (or two) between the graphics card slots.
If you already have two cards installed, you can tell by looking at the back of your case and just seeing how many, if any, unused metal brackets are between the outputs of the video cards.
Talking about the part circled in red, just to attempt to be clearer:
I feel like I'm making a really simple thing not clear at all. So, hope that makes sense.

Shots fired at MSI and gigabyte i think?
MSI and ASUS are the ones caught cheating.
As far as I know, everyone else including Gigabyte are shipping reviewer cards with same BIOS as retail cards.

Thanks I'll edit it, I'm about to pass out was to tired to fact check...
edit...wouldn't have expected it from ASUS....Jeeze I thought I went with the safe guess. They are my second favorite manufacture to EVGA. Tsk tsk tsk.

Question about that Legion FTW review, how did +120 on the clock net him a 2088mhz boost? Doesn't add up, what am I missing?
Nice. Helps me be happy with my choice. It was a mini gamble even though windforce cards are generally well received. Seeing that review and the FTW one basically shows they're all pretty much the same.
I suppose the only wildcard is when we start seeing custom bioses. The FTW extra power might be an advantage, plus the dual bios support could be useful.

Savage.

I suppose this is somewhat related to the GTX 1080: Does anyone have good 1440p monitor recommendations? Looking for one that is $300 or less.
The +120 is an offset of the natural boost clock of the card, which is different from card to card. His card actually got to 2136mhz when he began the benchmarks, before throttling down to and stabilizing at 2088mhz. It's all there, if you bother to read..
I have but I haven't looked at overclocking just yet. Out of the box it was hitting 2000 occasionally and settling down at about 1950 on default fan curves etc. What do you have yours set to?
Not home right now but I had the core clock at +70
3DMark showed it maxing out at 1950 or something? Though I'm almost positive I saw it hit 2025 when I was testing out the overclock. Maybe that was when I had it at +75?
Speaking of OC, have you benchmarked with OC?
I'm getting 16900 on 3D Mark with my Palit with default clocks. http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8851689
What? No lol
I just leave Heaven benchmark in the background and push the clocks as high as they go until drivers crash, artifacts appear or the app locks up, set them a little below crash and then test with games and dial back a bit again if they crash.
I find these hour long stress tests for OCs excessive anyway (unless you need an absolutely reliable system but in that case I wouldn't tamper with clocks anyway).
Im benchmarking with unigine Valley currently. Im gonna do 3Dmark once Im done OC'ing
ok good. So do you run the benchmark, raise your clocks, and then rinse/repeat, or do you just run the program(not going into benchmark mode) and have it do the infinite scene loops while you raise clocks?

Gigabyte G1 owners can you tell me what are the dimensions on this card?
