My Zotac GTX 1080 Ti Amp Extreme was meant to be in stock today for delivery to me on Thursday but supplier has put the date back to Friday for expected stock so it will be next week at the earliest before I see the card. I bet that this Friday date for stock will be put back and back until end of the month. The buyer of my 1070 is OK with all this so am lucky that way.

That card should be a beast :)

Just buy the 580 for 250.00

Yeah, that just showed up, I'll check it out when price here is clear.

New GPU-Z version:
v1.20.0 (April 18th, 2017)

• Fixed BIOS extraction resulting in corrupted BIOS on Radeon RX 500 Series

GPU-z is updating as often as nvidia gpu drivers, they`re taking all the fun out of creating images

Hey, CountMike, you might have another option to consider. Nvidia GT 1030 - 1040, mid May.



Nvidia to release GeForce GT 1030

I'll definitively look at all the options in a month or so. Due to holidays my order for MB is pushed back by a week and still no 1600x on sale here. Other a bit lesser problem is adapter for my CM Nepton 140XL cooler coming at beginning of May.

Hmmm,I don't think I'll be going for Rx 580 soon:

On the other hand, I could do this: Flash your Radeon RX 470 or RX 480 cards to get next-generation performance
to this:

and save few bucks.

With the release of 1080TI and Titan XP a number of websites are now telling us we are at EOL on our GPU's. That's LOL to me.

So now comes Nvidia Volta talk for Q3 2017. IF it is to be GDDR5X and not HBM2 I would be somewhat disappointed.



GeForce 20 Series with Volta might be released in Q3 2017

You've got to be kidding me.
