Seriously Mike, Great card

I can only use the HDMI port thou, because of this older monitor. So I expect that will slow it down.

That is the next thing on my list thou new Monitor .....but not this year....I need to upgrade the old girl at some point.

Don't be talking bad about the @Dude when he's not here to defend himself. Besides, we already know it's not a Zotac. EVGA won't sell them.

Sorry Doug. Only having some fun.

Ok guys after waiting to the GPU I wanted to get, I've changed my mind.

I have ordered a newer version today. :)
Should get this card in about 4 days, maybe 5. Think it should be an ok upgrade.... Info and pic below.

Oh, the EVGA 1080TI FE, nice. That's what Blackrose has, I think.

@OldMike65 you'll have to excuse @specialkone, he needs glasses, among other things, but is too cheap to buy any of them.

Oops, yes even better.

And yes, essenbe , when I look at the leader board, not many of us left running 1080's. It's still running great though.

@worf105, I was just joking around, trying to have fun. No apology needed.

Our OldMike needs glasses too. He can't no won't read the box either.

That's one sweet FTW 3 1080TI GAMING GPU and he doesn't play games so how is he going to show/tell us how it performs in games.

You're a mod. Can't you issue penalties or something?

OK OldMike I was understanding

about your non gaming interests when you were going with a FTW 1080, as I have one but not with your ICX goodies.. But gaming silence about a 1080 TI FTW 3?

Well if you're not going to at least try a recent game to see how it performs, I'm going to show respect and be silent, silently hoping in the next version of CL you have 20 fans showing.
