GTX 1080 Founder's Edition Vs. Regular

[Senatov]

Hello,

I'm planning to get up early on Friday and get in line at a local computer store to get a GTX 1080. I called and asked if they are selling Founder's Edition cards, or MSRP, and they said they don't know or won't know until Friday. Is that a corporate line, or do stores really not know? This is my first time getting a card on release day, and if I'm going to wait in line just to find out they are $100 more expensive cards, I'd rather not. I figured one of you guys may be able to shed some light on this.

Thanks!

as far as anyone knows the only cards available will be founder's editions at $699. no custom cards are expected for at least a few weeks.

as info becomes available, it will be put into this thread http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html

will include custom card reviews and such as they are released. until then, we're all guessing what/when they will show up and how they will perform.
