Is the 1080 FE worth it?

[Scarfold]

So i'm building my first pc and had planned to buy EVGA's 1080 FTW but it seems impossible to find it in stock, i cannot wait more than 2 days to buy the card so if i don't find it before my deadline is it worth buying the Founders Edition?

If you don't mind the extra cost? Then yes, awesome card, but you can get a better card for less from one of the board partners, so my advice is wait for them to be in stock.

no, cant you get a card from another brand or just a different model from EVGA

besides the FTW i have also been looking for the superclocked, and the msi gaming x, but finding them in stock is also a challenge.

Yes, mine both overclock higher than most custom cards. Consistent boost at 2100mhz.

They all clock roughly the same, better off with an aftermarket cooled one though, founders seem cherry picked, but beyond 2050mhz performance gains are minimal.

You should know the card before posting.

 

The gains are not minimal when the card can hold it's boost speed better. Some games it's not that big a deal, and in others it makes a big difference.
