There are no dual-prices for the 1080Ti unlike the 1080. It's just one single MSRP - $699. If anything, the after-market cards will be more expensive than the Founder's Edition.

Custom cards are dated to come in late March/early April. For now until the end of March, it'll only be the first batch of 1080Ti FEs from all partners.

Depends who you ask.

People that bring in cartons of 1080s before the price drop are stuck with prices that they brought in, as is. You want them to cut RM1k off from their previous SRP? For 1 or 2 cards, no problem la. But for 20 (or more) cards? Ain't happening.

Also, blame the near worthless ringgit that's almost as good as paperweight now.

Everyone perceives motion fluidity differently. There is no "correct" answer to this.

100hz to 165hz is absolutely noticeable to me. But I've asked many to participate in a "blind test" where I do not tell what the refresh rate is set to and most actually cannot tell the difference between 100hz, 120hz, 144hz and 165hz apart. In fact some actually perceive 100hz to be the most 'natural' refresh rate.

Convention wisdom says that the higher the refresh rate, the better. If money is no object and the rig is capable, why not just get the best? Reality is however; most people have a budget constraint. Getting a 165hz monitor without a rig to push it is pointless and the opposite is true as well. Getting a 1080Ti to play at 1080p60 is equally a waste of money.

Depends on the game of course, depends on the settings too. Pro Overwatch players as I'm sure you know play at 144hz with all settings at minimum. Same for CSGO players, same for UT players.

My personal sweetspot is 100-120hz, anything more is not distinguishable enough for me.

You can always downsample from a higher res to 1080p to remove aliasing in the mean time with a 1080ti.

1080 obviously. There's a near 20% difference between a maxed out 1070Ti vs a maxed out 1080. Furthermore, bios modding the 1080 to maintain that OC is easier than doing it on the 1070Ti.
