I'm in the market for a 1080 at the minute as I've been graphics cardless for a few weeks and my highest power GPU was a GTX 745, so yeah. I'm leaning heavily on the side of the 1080 FTW at the the minute but i'm also looking at ASUS' 1080 (A8G variant as that one is about £50 cheaper at the expense of 2 frames compared to the 08G model). Just wanting to hear opinions from the masses before I purchase in case there's anything that i dont know yet. Also incase anyone's wondering i'm not gonna wait for the 1080ti as i'm desperate for a graphics card and i dont think ill have the money for it when it comes out.

 

Thanks guys!
