*SOLD-SOLD-SOLD* Thanks for your interest.After a lot of thought, I finally decided to sell this beautiful example of a 1080Ti Founders Edition GPU.
The card is super clean, from a non-smoking home, and has never been overclocked or abused in any way. There is no dust or smell at all (I have cleaned the card, as a matter of practice). Overall outstanding condition. This unit in particular is a Zotac model, which are widely respected and have even been considered by some as the "best" reference 1080Ti made. It runs as well and as quiet as any reference card I've ever seen. I ran it myself briefly for testing and found zero issues with it. For those wondering, the 'blower' or squirrel cage type fan arrangement is generally included in the reference design for its ability to expel hot air out of the chassis, unlike newer axial designs which cool the GPU heatsink but blow that heated air inside the chassis.
Although I am not the original owner, he is one of the family friends for which I frequently do upgrade work. It was given to me in trade, and I know it has been well taken care of and has only seen moderate use. It will almost certainly serve a new owner for some time to come.
The 1080Ti in general is still among the best GPUs out there. They were widely recognized on release as the first cards truly capable of 4k gaming at playable frame rates. It outperforms anything up to and including the 2070 Super (I own a 2070S and have tested this myself), and can give a 2080 a solid run for the money (depending on game, settings, and resolution, as with any GPU comparisons).
Prices for a 2080 Super are about $700 now.
A used 1080Ti goes for around $600 with shipping (not including taxes). One over on "The Egg" is at $1090 (which is obviously over-priced); another on "A to Z" is $927 (again, obviously over-priced).
I will consider any reasonable offers, but do please keep in mind I build gaming computers and work with this stuff all the time, so I know what it's worth
Please PM me if you're interested or have questions. I am providing some pics, as large as practical to highlight the exceptional condition of this card. Note you must have a capable power supply and very good cooling to use one of these cards. I am happy to consult with you on these factors if you are interested.
