[nivra552]

My friend is selling me his msi 1080ti sea hawk..I just want to know if its worth to get or its better to buy another model of 1080ti?

It should not really matter what model you get. They all have the same chip.

Edit: cooling is different, so if you have space for a water cooler, go for it.

Considering your clocks go higher the cooler you can keep your card, I think it's worth it. So long as you don't mind paying a $100 premium for good cooling. If I leave mine at stock clocks, they boost to 1920mhz. OC'd they can hit 2050 pretty easily. Though with mine being custom liquid cooled, your mileage may vary.

Hard to say, but within a year (my guess is Q1 or 2 2018) we'll see a GTX 2080... The 2080Ti will probably be 6-8 months after that.
