    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    Had been planning on the Asus Strix but after I saw the $80 premium went for the MSI Armor instead. If the MSI GamerX had been available, $40 premium, I might have gone for that instead, but I think the Armor will serve my 4K needs well.

    Are they releasing non FE editions of the 1080 Ti?

    I wasn't expecting the Strix to carry a $100 premium, is that much of a price increase normal for the Strix or just an early adopter tax. I though the premium would be more in the $40 - $50 range Damn my old eye, its only a $80 premium. Fair enough ordered the MSI Armor instead

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    I'm waiting for the strix as well though if past experience is any indication I'll miss out on the first few rounds of availability.

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    I'll most likely go for Asus or MSI for no other reason than those are the cards I've used in the past and been happy with

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Evaluation Thoughts

    I'd like to see 4K numbers. I'm currently running 4K on a 980ti and would like to see how much of an improvement the 1080ti will be at that res. I don't think the review needs to be 4K exclusive, and while the number of us running 4K monitors is still relatively small, I'd guess that the number...

    GTX980ti vs 970sli @ 4k for gaming

    I have not OC'd my Matrix beyond the factory OC yet, hopefully I'll find some time to do so this weekend. It will be interesting to see if there will be any 1080 benchmarks revealed tonight to compare to. The leaked bench I read earlier didn't seem to be much of an improvement over what the...

    GTX980ti vs 970sli @ 4k for gaming

    I ended up going with a single Asus GTX980ti Matrix and as revenant and trentchau mentioned I find it to be generally smoother in most of the games I play than the 970 SLI. I still have a few weeks left open if I want to return it but unless something in tonight's 1080 announcement changes my...

    GPU for 2560 x 1600 monitor

    Thanks, found this one on mono price that's a bit less expensive DisplayPort 1.2a to 4K HDMI®, Dual Link DVI, and VGA Passive Adapter, Black - Monoprice.com Or this one DisplayPort 1.2a to DVI Active Adapter, Black - Monoprice.com Both had some negative reviews but mono price is good about...

    GPU for 2560 x 1600 monitor

    I've got the 970 in for now. I tried iGPU through the DVI conector but as someone said earlier the best I could do was 1080. I'll looked around for a diplay port to DVI but the only one I could find was mini display port. I'll give the 970 a try for a while and think about getting another...

    GPU for 2560 x 1600 monitor

    I've already got the 970, actually a pair of them. Just debating keeping one of them vs selling them both. I've never been good about selling old kit, but I've got a pair of 970's, a 7970, and a pair of 460's sitting in a closet. Not sure which, if any should be repurposed and which should be sold

    GPU for 2560 x 1600 monitor

    I'm still willing to give iGPU a try but I was digging around in a closet and found a pair of GTX460's. I might throw one of those in, or would a 970 be a better option I terms of power usage and noise.

    GPU for 2560 x 1600 monitor

    Well that wouldn't be good, I'm trying to use a 30" Apple ACD, no display port, just dual link dvi

    GPU for 2560 x 1600 monitor

    Thanks for the warning. I'm just going to give the iGPU a shot. If it didn't work I'll most likely keep one of my 970's. This brings up another question, is there any advantage to using the 970 as a physics card or is that basically a dead technology.
