I made a bit of a sidegrade. Ended up picking up a RX 6750 XT for $500CAD and sold my 1080ti for $330CAD. In some less optimized games (mostly unreal engine) there isn't a noticeable difference, however with SAM + FSR I saw Cyberpunk go from 45fps at 1440p ultra with the 1080ti to 65 fps with the RX 6750 XT and with SAM enabled and FSR 2.1 at Quality I got 75FPS. So, while on paper the RX 6750 XT is around 20% faster, in practice because it's a new card well optimized and new games can see gains of 40-50% more performance than the 1080ti. Same thing in Forza Horizon 5 as well, 95fps with the 1080ti, over 120fps with the 6750XT with SAM on. I would have loved to buy a RTX 3070 ti or RX 6800 but they make no sense with current prices with those cards being around $800-$1000CAD for only 15% more performance than the RX 6750 XT but 50%+ more money. Anyways I'm happy with the upgrade and it's nice to get 20%+ more performance for a few hundred dollars.

Thanks Dude

What is the team number I can't seem to find it anywhere?

Ended up buying the MSI Aero version, guy had a professional mining operation and ran the cards at 85% with professionally installed power lines and air purification. He had 130 GTX 1080ti's. So far the card has been great 1860mhz with 60% fan speed on auto and 73C under gaming load. Card still has 2.5 years of warranty left on it too.

I don't plan to overclock at all and the card is going in a Cooler Master Elite 130 itx case which is why I was looking at the aero as it has a blower cooler. He also has EVGA SC, EVGA sc2, Zotac AMP!, and MSI duke variants for $350 each. I just want to know if the card will maintain its clocks as I don't care about noise as my gaming rig is 10 feet away from a furnace/HVAC and I usually use headphones while gaming.

He has 7 different 1080tis for $275 and $350 depending on the model and has a test system so I can see if there are any issues with it.

I have the opportunity to buy a MSI GTX 1080ti aero for $275 from a guy who mined with it for 6 months. Is it worth it and is the cooler ok?

Did no one notice he said earphones? Anyways NuForce X Massdrops EDCs are currently my favourite sub $100 earphones/earbuds. The EDC3 feature 3 BA drivers whereas the EDC features a 6mm dynamic driver. more accurate more fun

R5 1600

Look for a used r9 390 or GTX 970 then and call it a day if you cant wait for the RX 480. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-970-4GB-SC-GAMING-ACX-2-0-GPU-Graphics-Card-04G-P4-2974-KR-/282133006283?hash=item41b07007cb:g:V1kAAOSwU-pXrYjq

what ram are you using and have you tried just using 8GB?

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-Edition-16-8-1-Release-Notes.aspx Battlefield™ 4 may experience intermittent crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11.

Why not buy an aftermarket gpu cooler like this one. I have one and the temps on my r9 380 (which is overvolted) were hitting almost 90C with the fans at 80%, now with the new cooler they are under 60C even under Furmark and BF4 and its 10x more quiet. It would also aid in airflow as half the heatsink hangs over the video card.

380X is comparable to a RX 470 so 380X. Have you looked at your local classifieds yet? ie Craigslist
