Hummm, don't know man. Not a well known brand. And is that used or new? How much is that in U.S dollars? 

 

Zotac are some of the best cards out there.  I've had at least 4 of theirs, since the 460 I had as the first of there's.  I have that exact 1080ti in my rig here, had their 1070 from launch day.  They have a full 5 year warranty, 2nd only to EVGA's 10 years

Thats coming up as 829usd at todays rate

The 1080 Ti Mini gets good reviews. Might be a bit noisy though. My daughters 1060 Mini was noisy.

Zotac has certainly pulled off quite the feat of engineering with its GTX 1080 Ti Mini. The world’s smallest GTX 1080 Ti, the Mini measures just 211mm long and is likely to fit in almost any case on the market right now.

It is a good-looking card, too, with a neutral gunmetal grey shroud and backplate. Given Zotac has a history of incorporating yellow accents into its card designs – something which certainly splits opinion – it is good to see the company opt for a card design that will work with almost any colour scheme.

When we come to performance, my testing suggests there is not much between the Mini and Nvidia’s Founders Edition card. Looking over the data, the Mini might edge ahead in one test, only for the Founders Edition card to retake the lead in the next.

Apologies, I stand corrected.  I was getting emails from my suppliers a week or so ago with 1080Ti's at that price. 

This is the best I could find

Which is miles cheaper than most others out there

Hot and fan noise, I purchased my msi 1080+ from them in 2017 for just over £400 now you cannot get near that price for a new one.

I've had the same one for the best part of a year, and had no issues at all

Presumably stocks are drying up so the price is going up with that.

What does it mean when your video card shows 100%

Not good, but 100% is the load being placed on your GPU, it's not related to memory.  If your GPU is at 100% then you need to back down some graphics settings ... are you running SSAA with DL?

I was checking UK prices for 2080Ti and was pretty shocked at what I saw ... 1500 pound sterling?  about $1900 US ... and out of stock ... there were some unknown (to me) brands of 2080Ti for less 1100 pound sterling ... are the quality brand names for 2080Ti rare in the UK/EU?

Cheers, Rob.

The debate was I think on the subject of the prices of the 1080Ti, not the 2080Ti.

Today, Pricespy has a range of £660 to £807.

Thanks Rob. Yes, I've been using SSAA. Very like that's what causes it. Also when I turn on the aircraft's landing lights, the card load spikes really high.
