The jet stream is quieter and cooler along with having an rgb Palit light on the side. However, the card is a lot more bulky taking up 3 slots on your case rather than the usual 2. But in terms of value for money, I’d say yes.

Is it worth £15 more for the "Super Jetstream" version?

Plus if they release a new range of cards ,it will be a refesh mostly things dropping down a tier in the model naming range 1080 = 1170 ,1070 = 1160 etc ,1080ti = 1180 ,with only the 1180ti and above having a real change of hardware + very expensive for top tier this year. Nvidia have a big gain on AMD. That they could take the next two years off ...

Same

I read that is unlikely.

2%?

True I've been holding off for ages now so I might as well wait a couple of months

Bought this exact card second hand for £415 on Amazon's Marketplace, fantastic card which easily overclocks to 2070 core 5500 memory on stock power/voltage. I do get a bit of coil whine when it's pushed hard in some games but it's probably 0.5% of the time I've used it for. Perfect card for my monitor at 3440x1440p, 100Hz

With it being summer and new cards announced in September (?) why would anyone buy a 2016 card now? Go outside get some air!

worst fans imaginable on these gigabyte cards (I have the 1080 TI version but the heatsink is the exact same) I've had 2 fail already. The fan assembly is held onto the rotor with a thin piece of plastic, so if your fans run high they just snap off. Also the TIM application is really shoddy and I had to take the card apart to re-apply to get reasonable temps. Wouldn't recommend

Would be a good idea as I've ordered a gaming laptop but I know if I get rid and the laptop is fine I'll not bother getting a new one (lol)

I ignored it but it seems to have a good roadmap and decent dev team behind it, I always thought they just played off the whole irreversibility thing when the DAO was hacked but there’s more to it than that.

Perfect time to flog your current card is now tbh. Even if you have to be without it for a few months.

Regarding crypto mining, I bought a MSi 1080Ti for £750 about a year and half ago, it's for sale now at £850 so not a massive increase but with it being close to the new series coming out..

I realise I might be waiting a long time, but then a long time in crypto world is 12-18 months! Why do people still have anything to do with classic?

Great price. Voted hot

Still profitable but the margins and much much lower. Youve probably missed the boat on it. Plenty of websites around if you search though!

Hi, my query is not be related to this deal. But I wanted to check if anyone does mining? i am interested to do crypto mining, but not sure where to start and how to start. I even dont know whether its profitable in UK based on electricity cost. Any inputs are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That and Amazon warranty is what you'd have not deal time IT as it's fulfilled by Amazon so no idea why people would suggest eBuyer.

My point was... why would you prefer? Ebuyer are known for bad service.

Got an MSI Aero 1070 (blower style) for £318.50 this morning - patience pays off! AMD didn’t bother competing and the 1000-series are the most efficient cards you can buy right now, they’re actually at a reasonable price at the moment. Some people don’t want to wait months to play the latest games, or you can buy a card now and also buy a card when the new ones come out - they’re not mutually exclusive!

Those saying wait for the next gen... what if you need a GPU now? Plus even if the 1180 is any good (and it takes a while for reviews to filter through) there is no guarantee it will be available at sensible prices for some time to come. This is one of the cheapest 1080s out there at the moment and it happens to be a decent card as well. Only downsides are that it is very thick and hogs basically 3 slots of the mobo.

Yeah I heard the same. I think it will be interesting nonetheless as we haven’t had much exciting PC news as of late. I hope it’s sometime this year, surely they can’t stretch GeForce 1000-series for 3 years (lol)

Latest rumours are GTX 1180 to launch end of July. Still rumours though unfortunately.

Paid £750 for a new GTX 1080Ti about a year and half ago, seems like a good deal now looking at prices of GPUs considering, heat for the deal too btw.

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about the screens on these Acer aspire 5’s. The one everyone says is dire is the TN panel which from what I can see the mx150 variant doesn’t come with, Tesco list this as having the ips display whereas all other aspire 5’s they have doesn’t make mention of it. notebookcheck.net/Acer-Aspire-5-A515-51G-7200U-MX150-FHD-Laptop-Review.240090.0.html As noted here the ips variant is actually decent ,if anyone actually has this model from Tesco’s it would be good to get confirmation it does actually come with that ips panel?

Good deal. Much better than the MSI someone posted last week.

Go for this or is a premium of £130 worth it for: https://www.box.co.uk/NX.GP8EK.002-Acer-Aspire-7-A715-71G-53HF_2283341.html

Depends the type of work you are going to be doing on it. Pay no attention to people saying get gaming one they are more bulky. I can see fair few people don't know anything moaning about it not being latest gen if you are going to moan then it should be that it is U version but look at the price this is good offer compared to what else is about. I would suggest staying clear of HP unless you go for the series like elitebook

This is very tempting, as I've been looking at an HP with similar price, although doesn't have the added gaming specs... I'm looking at it for coding though. Is Acer a slightly better make than HP? https://www.ebuyer.com/805720-hp-250-g6-i5-laptop-2sy46es-2sy46es-abu

That “only difference” is a huge difference as well. It’s one of the only things that can’t be upgraded.

But 8k, 12 bit hdr with quad sli with quad xeon is the way to go ;)

But you also got lumped with a 1050ti!

But the graphics card is the only thing that can't be upgraded. 1tb HD v ssd is same cost so just sell one and buy another. Ram makes no difference at that capacity other than bragging rights. 1050ti is significantly slower, which in a gaming machine makes a difference

The only difference is the 1060 swapped for a 1050ti (lol) processors the same, rams better, it's got a 1tb hdd and an ssd. Way better deal

Yes a 1tb hard drive would push the weight above the advertised 1.2kg

Specs listed on John Lewis don't mention a hard drive, only an SSD - neither do the specs on Asus's site.

Decent price if you're looking for an ultraportable laptop - 1.14kg and according to notebookcheck normal usage with wifi = Battery life 8.5 hours

Not bad for an ultra portable with discrete GPU, voted hot

WIn 10 Home sounds like a good incentive. Problem is, they don't say what the odds are or where the homes are.

i5-7300hq = 4Cores & 4Threads i7HQ = 4Cores & 8Threads...

German keyboard layout too

CPU is quad core, it’s decent

CPU is too weak for this price

Total War is an RTS I assume? Generally speaking, you should always opt for the better GPU if you're using a laptop for gaming, but an RTS is sometimes the exception as they rely on the CPU more. That said, I'd still go with the 1060. I can't imagine it'd have any problem running the game mentioned and it'll run pretty much anything else you need on decent settings

Any good ?

Please do, I'm considering it for gaming

Okay. I've gone for it! Will update with my assessment in a few days.

Great deal. Heat added. Sorely tempted - am after something to do graphics and video editing. This would be pretty good.

I didn't had any problems with msi products before but yeah this card is not the best one out there, seems power hungry , I bought one from Very with this credit code for 409 and my impression is not as good, it is a huge ugly card ... It is ok if you don't look at it ;) I may return it , I have to check terms and conditions ... But for this prise ... Ah ...I wouldn't take it for 10 £ more ...

People really need to stop giving heat to trash 1080 GTX coolers like this. I'd also avoid MSI altogether as both GPU's (Gaming X's) I ordered from them became faulty after just a few weeks. My EVGA SC from 2016 on the other hand continues to be faultless.

The Palit one from OCUK is better value. The MSI cooler on this is pants, they have the same one on much of their range and it can barely cool an underclocked and undervolted RX 570 - bet this’ll run unnecessarily hot and not particularly quiet.
