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

Just received shipping confirmation. Selected "Next day AM" at checkout, it will be delivered tomorrow. Which is fantastic, didn't expect it until Saturday.

Something tells me you'll need water cooling to run at 2GHz+ consistently. With my 1080FE, the best I could get the card to sustain was maybe 1850 on the stock cooling solution. With water cooling, it will run at 2075 for longer than I can stand to play games.

As I recall, this is consistent with all the reviews from shortly after the 1080's release.

I thought the FE's were beating out the AIB cards stock for stock (air cooling) when overclocked - for at least the first few months while the AIB cards were filtering in more and more? I guess it's a YMMV thing but my FE holds 2ghz playing TW3 at 4k which usually tortures the shit out of it. I see the clocks dipping to 1967(ish) sometimes but at a glance it's above 2ghz 80% of the time. With some games it would lock in at 2101 with occasional dips to 2076. I keep a moderate fan curve (probably hits 80% when gaming hard) so my temps stay at 67ish and down.. Though I have extremely good air flow in my case too. That said, with the 1000+ more cuda cores, almost twice the number of transistors, and higher TDP I think getting 2ghz on air with the 1080ti is not a realistic goal. Go go H2O!
 
My card just shipped! Be here middle of next week!

Sadly, my new radiator mount won't be here until a week after that, and there's no way I'm breaking into my loop twice.
 
My local MC said that they will have some stock tomorrow. I will be there 2 hours early to reserve whatever card i can get. Actually hoping to get a reference card for 699. Thank god for the two year replacement plan, my 980 Ti has been acting stupid lately.

You aren't in the DFW area are you?
 
Just got shipping confirmation for tomorrow morning. FWIW, I put in the preorder about 10:05am cst on 3/2. 5 minutes after preorder went live.

I think everyone that got one ordered in the first 10-15 minutes. They sold out pretty quick near as anyone can tell, which is no real surprise. Any new top end card always has a feeding frenzy, and this one has been anticipated for quite awhile and was at a lower price than expected.
 
I just called microcenter and they said they still don't have any. Not sure if they just couldn't say they had them or not.

Edit: just saw this though http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-ti

GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, including the NVIDIA Founders Edition, will be available worldwide — across 238 countries and territories — from NVIDIA GeForce partners, including ASUS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, iGame, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac, starting March 10th at 10am. Prices, including those for the NVIDIA Founders Edition, start at $699.
 
Yeah, they really need to specify a time zone. Guess I'm waking up early tomorrow...

We're talking about what's going down tomorrow.
 
Oh, just noticed mine shipped too! Should be here in a few hours according to them. Damn this is awesome, might even get to play around with it before work.

I seem to recall that as well. I think maybe I never tried just running at 100% fan all the time. Maybe 2GHz is possible with more aggressive fan than I was willing to use. Water cooling made it a moot point anyway, though, and looks even more skookum than the FE cooler.
 
hmm. Might have to make a stop at Microcenter tomorrow morning on the way in to the office...
 
ugh i keep debating ignoring the microcenter rep who said they don't have any yet in VA and just going in tomorrow morning. It's only like a 30 minute drive lol...
 
lol.
This is going to be the maddest scramble for quite some time!

I got up in the UK at 9:45 in case some retailers 'accidentally' put some online at 10am GMT.
Heh, nope.

I didn’t need next-day shipping. Mine are set to arrive Tuesday.

Bummer for anyone looking to pick one up today it seems?

I'll try Microcenter when they open but I'm not terribly optimistic about my chances. I'm not worried about getting an AIB card or a reference board specifically. I'll probably grab the first cards I can find.
 
I am concerned about temps sound and boost speed with the founders card, i am also impatient. While doing my morning search for ti's i saw this

has anyone here added an aftermarket cooler to a reference card before? This dosent look to have the drawbacks of a liquid cooled setup (vram cooling, pumps, costs, water!). this one is for a 1080 or titan xp so it should work.

newegg now auto completes "1080 TI" but still no listing

I love how it returns results for other 1080s though to make it harder to search.

How about "nothing found for 1080ti, scroll down for close matches".
