EVGA Intros GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Elite in Two New Color Variants

btarunr · Apr 25, 2018

EVGA today introduced two new color variants of its GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Elite Gaming graphics card. These include the Green (model: 11G-P4-6693-K4), and blue (11G-P4-6693-K3). EVGA colored the aluminium frame-type cooler shroud with anodized blue or green paint. That's all there is to these variants, which are priced on par with the regular model that has a silver shroud color. The factory-overclocked cards ship with clock speeds of 1556 MHz base, 1670 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 11 GHz (GDDR5X-effective) memory. Both new variants are priced the same, at USD $949.99, on EVGA web-store.

I haven't purchased or really looked at gpu pricing since I purchased my Ti FE on release day. Is 949 the "normal" msrp price these days for a 1080 ti?!

I love the look of these with the colored shroud and all black heat sink underneath, especially their red FTW3 and this blue one. Unfortunately the price does not look nearly as awesome as the card.

Any PCB improvements ? ... historically SC line has used reference PCB.

$949 is cheap. Most go for $1100-1200, because there is 0 competition from AMD and miners buy up the cards like crazy.

wow! No wonder FE cards are always sold out at nvidia.com where they retail for $699 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is exactly the reason I went for Titan XP instead. I really hope these GPU prices are not here to stay.

Why not just allow accents to be placed, changeable shroud, these look ugly. Straight black or Gray/Silver/Platinum/Gold is fine with rgb even

All I can ask is

why

silapakorn · Apr 26, 2018

Disappointed these are not the FTW3 models.

GTX 1080 Ti @ $500? I'm all for it, but then the competiton needs to be cheaper too.

retail on a 1080 standard was around that. Keep dreaming, I hardly remember the days of highest end cards being under $500

yeah, but AMD cant lower their already "low" prices.

The current market is inflated, I think everyone knows this though.

This card should only be $700ish or less

For sure, to suggest a card with no competiton should be 500 bucks is a joke.

Vega can't compete on price no matter how many dodgy launch bundle BS they try to spin, mining was a God send for AMD. Gamers be damned.
