Very honourable thing to do sir

So, more importantly.... How are you finding the card?? Is it getting on well with the games etc?

the card is really impressing me right now.

All games now can be played at max.

And the temps of the card never go past 60c.

So yea well impressed.

Just need a monitor to get the most out of it now.

1440p and 144hz is my preference.

I'm very glad to hear

I am looking forward to the pics and results

Pics will be a while as my cable management is awfully embarrassing right now.!!

Just take the card out and take a picture lol

A few cable twist's will always go a long way or some velcro.. But I'd advise against cable ties.. Always worries me going near to PSU cables with cable cutters...

Still I am looking forward to seeing some benchmarks from the games you play with the new card

Always enjoy looking at those

haha.sorry I thought you meant the whole build.

yea when the pc part shop fixed my pc a while they tied all my cables with the cable ties.cut them straight out!

yea I will post some benchmarks soon.
don't see many builds that are paired with a x5650 and a 1080

very tempted by this card.

or do i wait a few months for futher price drops.

also thinking my psu may not be sufficient for the new card.seems to be power hungry.

I don't get it- why would you want this card when your current card is better?

A 1080 ti is only like $500 in the US

I think you are confusing the 1080ti for the 1080.

The cheapest I have seen a GTX 1080ti for is $679 and that is for the Zotac version, a GPU maker that I don't really trust. A vast majority of the GTX 1080ti GPUs in the states are in the low to mid $700 range.

It's funny because Zotac also makes the cheapest GTX 1080 at $469.
