does this have the overheating issue
no those are the FTW models
that issue is corrected in cards manufactured after august.
*Scratch that!.
That was a different issue apparantly.
If you own a FTW card order your thermal pads now. http://www.evga.com/thermalmod/
Good card and even better price, though it would appear that EVGA is having various problems with 10XX series cards: https://www.techpowerup.com/227133/evga-gtx-1070-1080-overhe… Also this whirlpool user claims their 1080 SC fried a few days ago https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2561141&… with subsequent posts saying their motherboard may have been damaged also.
I have the FTW version, and have just emailed EVGA about the possibility of getting a preventative RMA as I don't want it to take out my other components if/when it decides to give up the ghost. I Also asked if they are liable if it does cause other damage.
Hopefully they can sort it out. Still glad I got EVGA cause of the warranty :)
Is this just a evga issue or is it all brands?
Just Evga because they decided that a $1 thermal pad was too much, but it seems to be limited to the FTW series so it the SC edition should be fine
You can just go to the EVGA web page and order your free thermal pads to fix the issue. Problem solved :)
Looking at a 1080 and a complete novice here with no experience with graphics cards.
The price looks great and international warranty is very helpful.
Just wondering how these cards rate against others. Are they a reliable brand and card other than the issue mentioned above?
Are they a reliable brand and card other than the issue mentioned above
Yes.
Yes. EVGA is the goods.
Thanks very much for the replies
If these cards are manufactured after august, then they have already been fixed. For everyone else heres the link:

You need to be logged in and have registered your card. I've never had the issue (black screen caused by overheating parts), but I requested it anyway.
What? Only 800? OMG I bought this over 1000.
But you've been enjoying your one right?
Yeah , I only buy cards from either ASUS or EVGA. The only card that 'broken' on my hand is a gigabyte GTX580, after that, I prefer some cards with default setting or less overclocking.
Really interested as the price is very attractive, but I am not in a real rush to buy, but would like to get one by Xmas.
Do you think this and possibly others would have some impressive pricing when Cyber Monday/Black Friday hits next month for instance?
Apologies, really new to shopping for these kinds of things.
Pretty likely to be a better deal in the next couple of months, these things have already dropped a couple hundred.
Reason to neg the deal?
Drunk, didn't even mean to.
That's hardly a reason to neg a deal since everything tech related gets cheaper over time.

There's likely to be more deals as the 1080ti has been "leaked" for a Q1 2017 release. Plus black friday is 4 weeks away; bargains for sure.
Whether it's worth it to wait is up to you; this card is overkill for 1440p, but not good enough for 4K (all settings maxed). I'd wait.
Not overkill for 1440p if you plan on running at higher Hz (144-165Hz) like me.
What games can a GTX1080 run consistently at 1440p @ 144Hz?
Even an MSI Gaming X GTX1080 Overclocked seems to run most Triple A titles at 100fps or less (Battlefield 4 ~100fps, Fallout ~110, GTA V ~100, Black Ops 3 ~75fps, Witcher 3 ~80fps).

I guess if you turn the settings down it'll likely hit 144Hz…just seems too good for 60fps, but not quite there for 144Hz. Still a very good card, for a good price that likely won't drop much until early next year.
Well I'm running a 6700k OC to 4.8Ghz and a 1080 and I can only hit that magic 144 with 1440p if I turn settings down.
Everything maxed out the game will generally sit anywhere from 90-115 fps. Anti-aliasing is what destroys my frame rates. Turn that down and fps jumps up.
"Temporairement en rupture de stock"/Temporary out of stock, but it still lets you put the order in.
Damn nice price, I paid 670$ for zotac amp extreme 1070. =(
Still waiting to see what AMD brings…
I love posts like these where people are hopeful that AMD will somehow release something amazing. You're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Yep probably, but i'm just hoping for a little bit of competition..
Remember GTX1080TI will be released in less than 3 Months (JAN 2017)
And will be ridiculously expensive, have stock issues, price gouging and lack of reviews.
Can't argue with you there
That's great news if you want to wait 6 months to get your GPU locally and pay 2x the price of this deal :P

I recommend everyone reconsider buying this card. Lots of reports coming in of then catching on fire due to the lack of VRM cooling.
If you have one already, I would buy an aftermarket cooler ASAP.
Good deal !
wow that seems really cheap :O
