Awesome! All I want to know is when will this be available? I have the same card, but it is a 980 Ti and it owns.
All the murmurs would have these and other AIBs trickling through within about 10 days at drip feed pace and slightly more widely available mid-end April. I'm waiting very very patiently either for this, Aoreus or Strix OC ROG.

I've been been looking at the early pre-order pricing of these custom cards at EBuyer and it looks like they add a £100 price premium over the reference cards here in the UK, £799 vs. £699. Ouch! That's the opposite of the GTX 1080 where the Founder's Edition (a.k.a. reference card) was actually more expensive than the custom GTX 1080 FTW I bought from Amazon for £599 (vs. £630 for the reference). I really get the impression that NVIDIA are taking the mickey with the pricing of their high-end cards, mainly because they have absolutely no competition from AMD.

Then it's not Nvidia taking the mickey, it's the AIB manufacturers. But I never believed the custom cards would be cheaper in this case, Always expected the FEs to be around £750 and the AIBs to be a tonne more expensive. So actually pleasantly surprised I was £50 out in the right direction.

I don't like the holes on the PCB plate... they do look cool but dust will inevitably settle in
I didn't care about a bling bling RGB led computer so I drilled a 200mm hole in front of my SLI setup in the plexi window, placed a coolermaster 200mm fan in front of them with not dustfilter, not even a grill hole+fan that's it they have nearly zero dust on top of them and the fins and fans on the underside are even after months as new..zero dust on them this probably has to do with my airflow (5 fans pushing cold air in including aio cpu cooler, 2 pushing hot air out top rear ) but just saying it can be more than ok and my room is very (dirty) dusty so if it's ok with me it can def be for you unless you live in the desert lol

the Founder's edition which let's remember is actually the basic model was a marketing scam "pay more for this ultra cool worst edition !" it worked once it won't a second time so now things are back to normal and you pay more for a better card they 1080ti strix ROG are sold around 900USD in switzerland btw one reseller already received 14 ROG from what I heard (they receive 5-7 a week) and they have around 42 people who also ordered one waiting now I...am waiting for the MSI obviously is it me or is the MSI thinner than the asus ROG ? the plastic cover seems to be slightly less thick ?

Beautiful card. Will be mine. It is too bad though the heatpipes on the side don't come out anymore, like they did before. It made it more aggressive looking. As for availability. I am hearing the third party cards are coming very soon. There will be limited stock this month, but better stocking in April. As usual, F5.
Looks like they changed the orientation of the heatpipes. Look more efficient when compared to the 1080.

They look thicker too, more effective then? Guessing those are for the GPU, more heat from this one than the 1080 thus bigger piping? (Probably don't want to accidentally touch that largest partially exposed one then heh. 😀 Though I guess bios switches and what not are located on the other end.)

I dont get it, why dual HDMI, i think tripple DP was better and one HDMI was enough.

Connectivity without shipping a bunch of adapters with the product I guess, same with DVI perhaps as I assume a fully open top row for heat dissipation would be at least a little bit more effective though air coolers like this at least from my understanding of it will still leak or well vent some of the hot air into the chassi itself compared to blowers. Guess water might become inevitable eventually unless some improvements are made? Well I don't know much about this but heavy dual or even tri-slot designs are a bit cumbersome for one thing. (Although ready made water coolers like say the Fury X might not be the best performers either.)

<3 Waiting for the possibility to preorder.

For VR I guess. Vive for example uses dual HDMI.

I'm sure as the 1080 Ti is hotter it was a change made for efficiency.
The MSI 1080 Ti Armor has the heatpipes on the side and is still a 2 slot cooler. Looks like the Gaming X will now have a 3 Slot cooler.

The MSI GTX1080 was launched in the Euro zone at the price of 800€, 100+ than 699€ of the FE, so now it's the same.

How much power does the 1080Ti require? Coz' I'm worried if I need to upgrade my PSU.
No need to upgrade if you have an 800W.
