Posted May 27, 2016 I'm currently waiting to get my hands on a 1080 (non-FE) and I will probably buy EVGA's FTW editions since 2 8-pin connectors mean no power throttling issues what so ever and that means lot's of headroom for overclocking which I will be doing. The only thing I worry about is that EK's water block must fit on it since I will be water cooling it. Other than that if I wouldn't be water cooling it I would go for Asus STRIX because of it can almost match any colour scheme with the black+RGB style. Also because I might be suffering from Asus fanboyism, please send help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2016 Actually, the EVGA cards are growing on me. They look the best of the bunch by far when installed. Looking forward to the 1070 design.

Posted May 27, 2016 Personally the evga cards look like they forgot to put a logo on the side of the card so they just screwed a name plate to the side and called it good. Blarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2016 So far only the Gigabyte one look nice to me, but maybe that just because we can only see the front... the ASUS one look kinda weird, the Zotac one look ok but that backplate is killing it, and the EVGA one... not really bad but not really good either.

Posted May 27, 2016 I dislike all the new cards, too much flash and unnecessary details. I prefer the minimalist design of the older EVGA cards. The only plain looking cards out there now are XFX and Sapphire's Nitro cards. I don't read the reply to my posts anymore so don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope all the white pieces are easily removable, there's just enough that if you painted them all the card would look really good in custom colors. According to JaysTwoCents, these are not actually white. He advised that the lighting is just making them appear white in the photos. I assume they are some kind of "metal" look. || i7-8700k @ 4.9GHz || Asus Z370-i || HyperX Fury 32GB @ 2400MHz || Nvidia Titan Xp || 500GB Samsung 950 Pro || Deepcool Captain 240 RGB white || Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Glass || InWin Aurora fan kit || Corsair RM750x white || Ensourced Customs sleeved extensions || Tesoro Gram Spectrum white || Logitech G603 || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
