Sorry to revive an old post
Couldn't get the ASUS card, still on back order everywhere in Canada, so I got this one
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming 1556/1670 MHz 11GB GDDR5X Icx
Reviews look decent
Should get it next week sometime, I hope

Looks fine. Did you pay MSRP? There's a lot of scalping going on.

I checked all the Canadian sites I deal with.
Prices were all consistent across all of them (+- a couple of dollars)
I finally had to give up on the ASUS card because it is still on back order in Canada and nobody knows when it will be available.
Wonder if ASUS is trying to drive up demand for their cards so they can charge premium

Sounds like tin-foil-hat stuff. :roll:

Did you try that site I linked that alerts you when buying windows open?

No, but that site is for the States, is it not?
I like my shiny tinfoil hat, even if it is a little tight

Don't remember. You can't buy from US vendors? What, is there some massive tariff, or you are trying to Make Canada Great Again? :lol:

Actually, yes. Between the sales taxes and import duties it can really add up
you are trying to Make Canada Great Again?
There aren't enough video cards out there for that

Have it shipped to a US friend and then stop by on your annual DisneyLand trip. We have Legoland here in Schaumburg if it appeals to you. :D

Just kidding.

Mediafire blocks hot links like that. I fixed your post to show the photo.

Sorry about the second image, had to test something.
They changed the options, they now give a forum embedded code/link for this
If you wish I will delete the second image
