The FE availability is strange. I wonder if major retailers are actually stockpiling stock before they really start to sell because newegg has had the founder edition since day 1 in bundles with a mouse or powersupply. It shows out of stock, but many people have bought it anyways and shipped to them. Even system builders have Evga non-fe for full system builds.

But they won't sell FE by itself.

I suspect nvidia has pretty much told them as much till custom cards come around to not piss off evga/msi/etc.

It sort of makes sense.

Got it, have it installed already

Some minor issue with it, but nothing major. I still can't get used to the fans not running when not in games most the time. Kind of makes me nervous. lol

Ok the minor issues are this..

The card is same length as my "old" 780Ti, but its also about a quarter inch in height taller, about a half inch wider! I can see people having issues with that even in nice cases like mine..which brings me to my first minor issue. The PCI-E cables on the card are upside down vs previous cards? Not sure if just a MSI thing, or all cards, but being that mine was the other way (notch that snaps it is on top instead of bottom) the wires are very hard to twist around to fit the other way....which makes them not as flexable..so they stick out more towards the side. The issue is, i have a clear window on case, and it actually popped it out. lol

Lucky no damage or anything, it snapped back in, but you can visually see the bulge in case side.

Basically, you better measure case length AND width before you get a card.

The only other thing that is kind of annoying, but not the fault of MSI, just mine for not researching it first, is only one DVI port, rest are HDMI. I got one HDMI and two DVI monitors. Again, just me not checking first, but not a big deal i can get converter for other monitor.

The other minor quirk is even though i have latest Geforce driver, i have to reinstall it to get card to be detected. Not sure if that is Nvidia issue or Win 10.

Other than that, just going to play with it for a bit to see. Running some benchmarks while at work

EVGA is dragging their feet with the 1080 Hybrid.

If this continues I'll be skipping my GPU upgrade and buying a new monitor. Which is probably for the best since I'm still not interesting in getting locked to G-Sync. If my monitor choice is forced first, my GPU options are more open.

Dude on Craigslist in NYC is selling GTX 1080s for $550-600 brand new sealed.

I picked one up from him for $530 because I had to drive to his house. At $699 this card is a ripoff but at $530 I this definitely a steal.

There's a lot of aftermarket 1070s around but 1080s are hard to get in europe still.. looks like overclockers.uk is hogging them all..

Think there may have been quite a few more preorders to clear for the 1080's. Not quite why - the 1070 will surely end up selling somewhat more in the end - but maybe its only the very top card which attracts this truly devoted following.

Price insensitive buyers will always pay for top performance. Which happens to be dominated by nVidia currently.
