Our Blackrose, being a major gamer, is also a brave soul.

.

Of course with his dual 1080TI setup, he will still blow through games even if that second card scales at zero.

The TI's are huge. This is the Gigabyte Aorus, look at the size.

@f14tomcat, I really don't know exactly which one you are getting. I suspect yours will look more like this, the Reference style (A/K/A FE for Founders Edition) It probably won't be quite that big, but close.

I'm going to guess at an essenbe answer.

" It would require me to actually have the 1080TI card I ordered to answer that".

Oh, I missed a bit on the response.

essenbe · 21 Apr 2017

@specialkone he is being serious. He just bought a new computer with one in it. We just don't know which flavor they put in it. So I suspect the FE.

I think you guys are more concerned about my delivery date than I am.

LOL, ok so ya I agree more like founders edition would be a bit smaller than AIB higher tier. Thing also is those close up pics like Jay's makes things look a bit larger than life. Hard to judge from that. From that pic, it looks bigger than my EVGA FTW 1080.
