[SOLVED] Is the 1080 TI Founders Edition worth buying for 500 CAD? Should I try to buy an aftermarket version?

[Amateur282]

I have a good deal for a 1080 TI Founders Edition for $500 on Kijiji, but I'm not sure how it compares to the newer 1080 TI models.
Are there any problems associated with the 1080 TI Founders Edition? Is it worth buying instead of trying to find another model of 1080 ti?

I am going to keep the stock cooler on the 1080 TI, and I'll be overclocking the 1080 TI as much as possible (I want to get the most out of the card)

Thanks!

then either get an aftermarket card or slap a liquid cooler on it.
you won't be OC much on a reference blower card

Since a liquid cooler already costs more than an aftermarket one, I'll just look to buy an aftermarket card and be done. Thanks bro.
