At that absurd price point you would think there would be more generosity than the inclusion of one of the most common elements on the planet! Thanks but no thanks, I will remain a smart shopper and wait until the price point comes down to a realistic one!

I must say I think I got a Golden Sample then, my card stays at a stable 2012MHz GPU clock under 65C with fans @ 75% Just waiting on EK to get their block ready so I can add it to my loop!

As I wrote in my review - it is a pure lotto. The test sample is running with GPU- und VRM-Waterblock with the AB Extreme and 1.093 Volts at 20°C (chiller) stable 2166 MHz. Other cards neets 1.2 Volts (I have a NO2 BIOS from another card) to crack the 2100 MHz barrier stable. If you buy a card, you get no warranty which GPU quality you get.

At stock settings,no clocks adjusted, power-limit left at 100% and custom fan curve utilized; fans will run at 60% @50*, 70% @60*, 80% @70*. Mine will boost to 2038 no problem.

I've never seen the card go above 63* and it is hard to hear the fans.

EDIT: My case has two front intake fans (one 140mm/one 120mm), an internal 120mm adjustable rail-fan blowing across the top of the Ti, two 120mm exhaust fans and my H105 120's are pulling outside air into the case. This helps a bit with temps.

or I may wait until volta comes since i want dx12 vulkan as the future of gaming and these tend to not do as good in those as amd cards but volta is suppose to change that only one can hope.

You really sure that Vega can fight with the 1080 Ti customs? The price wars will start (if Vega is coming this year) below the 1080 Ti. The 1080 non-Ti might be cheaper. But wars? AMD need every Cent to survive. If Vega is good, you have to pay for it.

Nvidia already has all new cards being built will all new ram faster than any other card they have ever made. This will be another Dinosaur in 2 years.

I seriously doubt it. Sure they've got fast ram in the works, DDR6 specs have already being published this week and someday HBM will be more reality than myth but this vram already offers a lot.

In twenty years of buying GPU's I've never seen a single card/GPU solution this powerful and holding it's own with the highest resolutions as these OC'd AIB cards. The ram on these are very easily overclockable right out of the box. My Strix is stable at 11.99Ghz for two months now, clock @ 1975-2066mhz, on air and @ 50-65c. Games in 1440p/ultra settings hold 90-130fps and 4k 45-60fps same settings.

In two years it might show some age but dinosaur it won't be. Prices will probably drop in the next year but there's many articles out there showing how GPU prices are still very relative to price/performance points over 10 years ago. High end cards always cost more.

LOL @ the people complaining about price. People were paying $1500 for Titan's. People were spending THOUSANDS on triple SLI setups. We're getting so much more for our money that it's awesome. When you think PC parts are expensive, I will tell you that I once paid $350 for 2GB of Corsair ram.

Hello,I've got a problem with my 1080 TI Aorus xtreme edition . It's unstable and crashing every 5 to 10 minutes while playing any game.oc mode and game mode,I tried almost everything new driver ,bios even RAM ,PSU1000w
I've tried it on another PC but still have the same problem.
It seems a manufacturer problem as i saw while surfing the internet searching for technical solutions. 
any help?

@KAHEEL the problem is the program that they use. It's unstable because you use the OC mode, try using afterburn from MSI that it's the best everybody from what i've seen that have an aorus said dont use the OC mode or somethin like that maybe is because of that hope i've been useful
