Question 1

Is it with the box or not?

Accepted Answer

No they just toss the card in truck

Question 2

Is this a reference card? I plan to watercool it and the kit (EK A240G) only supports reference cards.

Accepted Answer

No it is not a reference card, the reference cards look like the one on the Nvidia website and do not have the name of another manufacturer on it (Asus, gigabyte, msi, etc)

Question 3

Why is this 1080TI still in stock after days and all the other ones are sold out in mins? Is there something I'm missing?

Accepted Answer

Either because it's uglier than the others, or because when you search for 1080ti it doesn't populate the results. you have to filter for it or be linked to the page by an advertisement by newegg on another website such as facebook. ( I found it as a suggested post)

Question 4

can you use this card in the razer core ?

Accepted Answer

the dimensions are on the razer site, I had trouble fitting a 1080 FTW in, it's the max size, compare the dimensions and you're good to go

Question 5

Can this be used in SLI configuration? A review seems to suggest it cannot

Accepted Answer

Yes of course. You can see the SLI connectors in the image

Question 6

Is there a particular SLI bridge that should be used with 2 of these cards? I want to make sure I get a bridge that will work with this card.

Accepted Answer

The base sli bridge works, however you will get more performance with any of the HB SLi bridges.

Question 7

DO you guys think this will work with P9X79 LE
 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  This card is a beast and that chipset has plenty of pci lanes to use!

Question 8

first time builder.. I'd like to buy this card but I dont know what the use or lack of a back plate means is the lack of a backplate a deal killer and why?
Im looking to add this to a 1950x build, on a Taichi mobo. in a S340 case..

Accepted Answer

Back plates are usually for aesthetics. That said there are benefits to them. Some gpus have some parts on the backside of the pcb that can benefit from the passive cooling the backplate would provide. There's also the slight protection against leaked fluid if you liquid cool. Otherwise mostly aesthetics.

Question 9

Is there anyway to get a backplate for this card?

Accepted Answer

V1Tech makes some pretty cool backplates you could check out.

Question 10

Does this come with a DVI cable?

Accepted Answer

Its not listed as coming with one and it is usually the monitor that might come with the cable so I am pretty confident it doesn't come with one.
