    Has anyone bought one recently? if so where? how much? when? how long did it take?

    Tempted to buy a GTX 1080Ti from EVGA but really don't want to spend an extra 200 more than I need to?

    First time ever to build a gaming PC and can't use it because it doesn't have an integrated GPU and further GTX1080s are near impossible to get and don't want to downgrade to a 1070 nor can i pay the inflated prices.

    Why do you need a 1080? What resolution and framerate do you run?

    It's overkill for many users.

    I bought one last year and it's worth more today... I screwed up by not buying EVGA tbh, the one I got is harder to find water cooling block for.

    There's always Adverts, but prices are still inflated.

    which 1080ti do you want from EVGA, they are all practically sold out bar kingpin models

    am wondering are they all EOL with the rumoured spring intro of next gen

    Yes, probably the best in terms of customer service & upgrade program.

    With EVGA, you have 3 months to upgrade to a higher up model (if they have it in stock, and if they make it available) after that period you can't upgrade

    Recently bought a EVGA 1080 SC.

    Think it worked out about 700 delivered from Amazon. I am finding very little difference in prices between 1070s and 1080s when 1070 was my initial GPU for my build.
