So as I may have mentioned in some threads back in Nov/Dec 2016....I smashed my head got a concussion and purchased 2 additional Asus Rog Swifts and bracket to mount them to my Obutto R3volution cockpit / desk.....and quickly realized that my old Titan Signature was NOT going to run them....

So here I have been sitting with 2 screens doing nothing other than acting like a privacy screen LOL (yes I tried hubs etc to no avail)

Well today was the day gents....the count down timer ticked...the website went down....and then....PRE-ORDER AVALIABLE!!!!

In a pain induced and medication induced mad rush (recovering from ACDF C6 -C7 surgery) I flipped it to 2 and POUNDED the PRE-ORDER button....10 min later I finally got into my cart and completed the purchase on.... TWO 1080TI FTW3 cards!!!!!

First time since the 280 GTX that I have not been running on either used or hand me down cards from good friends!

I am soooooo fucking pumped!  

And it should be JUST enough juice to run those screens at 60 FPS (3 screens at 2560 x 1440 was more of a bite to chew off than I had thought at the time oops lol)

No one to tell.....sooo saying it here!

*does the happy dance of gamer geekdom*

Bit much.... but WAY less than the Titan's I was looking hard at to make this run AND faster by a good bit (vid memory needed with multi screens)

Pre-order discount and free shipping as well.  $749 each out the door.  

Should last me a few cycles without any issues at all.  (maybe longer since once they eventually stop holding their own can drop res or drop to a single screen for gaming and still run like crazy.)

Could have gone founders and water blocked, but going to stick with air since I'm pinched kinda hard atm.  

Think I jumped in on a sweet spot for once!

EDIT:  And yes I am super happy...don't ship till May 1st though.  Upshot is won't hit the CC till May hehe.

Awesome. I snagged another 1080 FE when they dropped the price, but they're both running a single 4k 60hz monitor.  Here's hoping your wife doesn't get TOO angry. What do you play?

Update....barely.

Rest of the medical bills slammed home and taxes....dawn broke on a marble head and I backed off.

Pre-orders canceled :(

There is always Volta next year!

(as long as I don't fall apart further lol)
