I dont know how it is in the Americas, but I found a DVI-D-to-HDMI adapter for freaking cheap RM15 in Low Yat Plaza, and this whole thing becomes a non-issue. You still have one empty HDMI port, and THREE DP ports. And if you're still rocking monitors with no DisplayPort and you have a 1080/1070 AND an expensive HTC VIVE VR headset, your priorities are all wrong, buddy. Monitor upgrade either go first or go hand in hand with your GPU upgrade or your VR headset purchase. Your 1080/170 is capable of far beyond 1080p resolution and at higher framerate, if you're still using HDMI and rely hopelessly on that for your multi-monitor configuration, that's kinda a lopsided priority there.

haha same here awaiting the cutdown of TITAN P

awww 2 bad thats sad thks goodness my kepler still going stronk

btw driver 368.69 is up

Can't wait for TITAN P hehehe

Only improvement is Dirt Rally in VR, and I dont have that game.

I have that game but no VR set goggles with me

Installed already

MSI 1080 FE seems to be the cheapest FE? Thinking of getting this and do some ghetto mods like GN Hybrid.

Seems like 1080 custom design, even with extra 6 pin and badass vrm, is not alot better in terms of overclocking from the FE. Plus I hate those custom huge PCB.

Voltage locked to 1.25V, irregardless of FE or AIB. To OC, you need to bump up the core and memory frequency, to bump up frequency you need to pump in more voltage, you hit a brick wall at 1.25V no matter how cool your 1080 is under air or under water.

In the end, it's all about fat cards with bling-bling RGBs with pre-OC frequencies out of the factory, or get slim FE cards and OC it yourself. You play the silicon lottery: you lucky on the FE, you get 2088Mhz on core clock like I got. You unlucky on the AIB cards, you cant even get past 2050Mhz, no matter how high it was pre-OCed out of the factory.

Gamers Nexus got their frankensteined 1080 FE slapped with AIO liquid cooling up to 2164Mhz, but if 76Mhz is all Im getting for a liquid cooler, no thanks.

My initial plan is to carryover my current Universal GPU block to 1080. I've found out that the VRM heatsink is separate unit in the FE card. Thats a good news for me. Thus the idea of doing the same thing like what Gamer Nexus did.

The thing with FE, is the price. And I really don't need those fat heatsink of AIB. Maybe i just like things to follow reference and standard.

Because it overclocks poorly, and ASUS has the tendency to overprice as well, maybe that's why nobody wanna stock this model?

Try Palit or Leadtek.

I have no choice but to go reference due to the Raven's SFF case. Even if there are "slim" AIB models with two fans for example, I'm not interested in cooking my SFF case internals, versus the blower-style FE card.

My current case is Ncase M1 mini-itx. I watercooled both gpu and cpu. But im moving back to ATX with this built. Just in case, i can use back my ncase M1 with reference 1080 on it. My option is FE or AIB with reference board with nothing fancy.

If it has space for thick AIBs with 3 slot space requirement, then by all means. But the Asus Strix 1080 is hard to come by, judging from the cursory search I did on the forum and on Lazada.

no game no vr

so far so good right

may i ask if that model has the longest warranty of 5-years and how much is it? i am planning a rig from etech too.

Saw 980 ti ( new ) price drop to as low as RM1825 now, wondering if I should sell my few months old 970 and add few hundreds for 980 ti. Saw benchmark/review that it's somewhere very near 1070 performance. Or should I wait 1070 price drop saw cheapest Palit @ 1999

Was getting 970 few months back to get the bloody The Division game for free , and now awaiting monitor upgrade which no doubt will sweat 970 @ 3440x1440 resolution.

GTX1070 has bigger ram capacity.
