With all this discussion about 1070 & 1080. I wonder how many of you are going to upgrade to 1440p or 4K monitors ?

Or stick back to 1080p monitors. 

I am still using a non 1080p mon (22" 1680x1050). Upgrading 1080p seems not too much difference, where as 1440p or 4K quite expensive > RM2.5K. If I buy 1440p mon + GTX 1080, it will cost me around RM 6K 

It's been years no upgrade, I m still using GTX 660Ti. So this time it is a big upgrade for me. Let's hope my pocket is big enough. 

At the moment 1070 or 1080 is rare. I want to get non foundation card, hopefully cheaper.
Right now, monitor is available for purchase.
OK. I am aiming for 1440p Gsync with 144hz. Think of getting Acer XB271HU, 27" can still fit my desk. It cost >RM3K,
rather expensive IMO, could probably buy a big TV. Hands already itchy... 

IMO 4K monitors is just not there yet, with 60hz refresh rate. Currently I think, 1440p and 4K monitors is early adopters' market. Limited choices and probably next 2 years or so will drop price maybe to RM2k region.

Now I ponder 2 plans,

Plan A,
Buy XB271HU Monitor with GTX 1080 Estimate Cost RM6K++

Plan B,
Buy 24" (1080p Gsync 144hz) Monitor with GTX 1070 (or lower spec GPU). Estimate Cost RM4K

Choices, choices.

Yes, I bought XB271HU for RM3199 with free Predator headset.

shouldn't the pricing will be like this  :
1. Non-FE - stock/normal cooler on Ref board (8pin)
2. FE
3. Non-FE - Custom/High End cooler (Strix/AMP/Frozr V) on Custom board (8+ X pin)

MSI got a normal ref for 1080 - black ref cooler but 8 pin only = .

Since nvidia implement a very harsh restriction on thermal/voltage/overclocking potential, if the gpu put under water,
= lower temp = can we push past 2.2ghz barrier and beyond? (restrict by voltage?)
