What does the hive mind think of this gpu?

Come January I am thinking of going big on my gpu purchase

I have my mind set on this one

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-sea-hawk-x-11gb-gddr5x-vr-ready-graphics-card-3584-core-1544mhz-gpu-1657mhz

But I am open to suggestion, tbh my window is wide enough that a better purchase option my come along by then…

Currently on a 390x and it is starting to fall a little short at 1440p (basically I am having to turn too much stuff down to get to 60fps territory).

I have basically had it since it came out so I am thinking I got my monies worth from it… odds are I will be passing the 390x to a friend or relative who needs / wants a (more than) capable 1080p card.

The Sea Hawks are kinda meh especially with VRAM cooling.

If you’re gonna go Hybrid go with EVGA. I have the Hybrid 1080 Ti and my wife the Hybrid 1080. Been really great cards

Yes, I suggest EVGA hybrid. OR better yet, if you really want the best performance (2nd only to a custom loop) get one of these and these.

Here’s my personal rig. 2.1 GHz on my 1070 plus 45~ degrees under load and I cant hear it
