I bit on a 1060 6gb. It replaced my son's aging 270x. I'll take my chances since this is a refurb purchased directly from the manufacturer. Crossing my fingers.
 
I bought a 1080 FE from evga over a year ago for $389. I gave this to my wife since her 980ti blew up on her. It has been rock solid, and it looked brand new! I would not hesitate on this deal IMO!
 
i'm willing to bet 90% of all the the GTX 10 series cards ever built have been mined on lol
 
I've been looking for another GTX 1080 FE to SLI with my current one, and that's a great price. And it's from EVGA. As long as you register it right away, you'll have the one year warranty, and they're pretty good with their customer service.
And with the money that I save, I can get an EKWB Full cover water block, an HB SLI bridge, and 2 PowerLink's! And maybe a 1000w PSU to go with it too!

You would foolish to spend all that money for an SLI set especially right at the end of the 1080's life. Maybe you have been living under a rock as SLI support is going down more and more and around 1/3 of AAA games have ZERO support. That does not even get into Indie games or all the issues in the games that even support SLI. A waterblock, HB bridge and new power supply just to run some games better makes no sense when you could just get new 1180 and run EVERY game better and not even have to buy all that extra crap. You would save a shit load of money after selling your current 1080 and have better overall gaming experience.

I hope you enjoy it. But I have to agree with Misterbobby here. WIth being so close to end of pascal life and upgrading your powersupply and getting a waterblock might be a very bad purchase. At this point I would be getting rid of pascal lol. With SLI support going down and down and new cards around the corner. I would say replacing 1080 with 1180ti might be the best route. I think nvidia will release 1180ti first this time if they have access inventory of Pascal still sitting around as they are likely to sell each and every single one of the 1180ti.

^Listen to this guy.

I run dual 1080 FE in SLI and honestly it's probably the dumbest tech purchase I've ever made. LMAO.

I did it because I thought it would help me game at 4K res and it did for a while, but getting games to work with SLI is a PITA. I've just resorted to playing everything with high framerates at 1080p instead. (I mean... 50-70 FPS at 4K vs. 100-200 FPS at 1080p.)

Would like to sell my 2nd 1080, but Nvidia got me even further with that bullshit high speed bridge.. XD

Takes a alot to admit that man. Respect. I keep saying the same thing. But at this stage buying another 1080 to sli is a bad bad purchase on top upgrading powersupply and putting a water block. Sadly people have a way to telling themselves anything to support their itch for the it factor. Unless you only play games that support sli, but it still doesn't make sense to drop the money on 1080 on top upgrade other parts at this stage when its the end of life.

Exactly this. This is why I bought a new 1080 EVGA from best buy at $650...overpriced sure, but now I can step-up to a 1080ti since the prices are going down. I got another 35 days to step-up....

Either way SLI/Crossfire is not the way to go anymore for games. Sure maybe if you are into 3dmark benchmarks...but gaming stick to a single card.

SLI made sense when you can take a GTX-x60 and get GTX-x80 performance for less than the cost of a GTX-x80. For a loose example, my GTX670-SLI plays OW as fast as my GTX970 (which is quicker than the era appropriate OG-Titan.) With nVidia keeping SLI to the high-end, they are making it pointless.

Another good example is the 760 (which is a slightly slower 670 of the next gen anyway fwiw). I could sli them for cheaper than getting a 780. Eventually I SLI'd 780s... only to replace them with a 980 Ti. All of these ran on the RoG Swift.

It just doesn't matter what you do. I'm not sure if my eyes are more sensitive than other people's or what, but SLI experience just sucks. It's a stuttering mess. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it just did not work out. My single 980 Ti has now been serving me well at 1440p since the day I got it. I use my 780 in a backup PCI, and I gave the other 780 for a friend to use.

Two things I learned really.
1. SLI sucks
2. 1440p is the sweet spot. No higher, no lower. Higher requires too much processing power, lower just looks clearly worse. 1440p is the place to be, and it will be for a good while at this rate.

hahaha. I'm old as f now, so got thick skin. I kept thinking to myself during purchase. "Oh yeah, they're going to do great multi-GPU support in the future and not rely on SLI, DX12, Vulkan blah blah blah..." Nope nothing... nada. Also, having that stupid window on the side of my tower case... I kept looking at those empty slots and thought my single 1080 was lonely.

At this point I'm wondering if I should just yank that 2nd GPU because it's using extra electricity and doing absolutely nothing for me. XD

Nvidia will never release the 1180ti first. They know if they release the 1180, many will upgrade to that. Then when the 1180ti comes out, those same people will upgrade to the 1180ti. So Nvidia indulges on double dipping on the customer.
 
Hey check out the great shipping deal they have on many products now:

"$1000 Ground Shipping on this item for a Limited Time"

What about a B stock Founder's 1080 ti for $599?

Crypto is making about $1 a day on a 1080ti before electricity right now, so 600 day payoff, maybe 900 day if you count electricity cost — assuming crypto doesn’t drop further or doesn’t rise again... ;)

You won’t have miners snapping up cards any more at current income levels...so prices will be coming down, unless crypto value goes back up.

they'll continue to release in the same order they've done since the 600 series.. there's no reason to release a flag ship card first when you know you can milk it.
