Thinder Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I don't know if you're in the UK but I just got myself an NVGE 1080 ti 11GB this morning. Since I'm already registered with them I could exchange my 5500 XT for voucher, which mean that I got a basically new card, for £361.00. As you can see they give a 24 month warranty with it. It took me longer to find a driver online than install it and have it running, it works flawlessly, great deal! Edited August 23, 2020 by Thinder Win 11Pro. Corsair RM1000X PSU.

LucShep Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) £361.00 = 400.00 EUR Even now, that's a pretty darn good deal for an EVGA GTX1080Ti (good model) plus considering it has a 24 month warranty with it! :thumbup: Congrats! PS: and at that price, it's a better deal than a RX5700XT or RTX2070Super in my opinion, with equivalent performance but GTX1080Ti has 3GB more than those (11GB VRAM total), which DCS will certainly appreciate.

Pjay22 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thats a great deal for a 1080Ti, 2year warranty is a great bonus. Yeah, use these guys all the time for hardware upgrades.

Thinder Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks! Yes; CEX are generally very good, btw there are a few more of similar card in their shops, so if someone wants to grab one now is the right time to do it, I was lucky because the price for this one went down £30 from the time I took the decision to buy it and the day I had the cash... Next month, it's the turn of the processor to see an upgrade but it got to be new, my pick is a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU 8 Core 4.3GHz for the best bound possible at high resolutions. I use Bottleneck Calculator to figure it out before taking a decision. https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Ryzen_7_2700X/GeForce_GTX_1080_Ti/0Qe0XF8A/32/100/ ..........
