Exact Same card on sale at the same time with amazon prime

I have the Dell U3415W and a Zotac 1080 Amp Extreme. I can tell you why it is better to go with the 1080 and my experience with it.

First, the Dell U3415W is a fantastic value for the money. An ultrawide for around $650ish, 1440p resolution, great color representation, but the only limiting factor is the 60Hz refresh rate. Not a deal breaker in my opinion.

Now why go with the 1080? Because you might find yourself wanting to add another display or upgrade to a 4K display down the road, or simply because you can. They're not that expensive as they were when launched. I paid $720 for my Zotac GTX 1080 Amp! Extreme Edition from B&H Photo Video as they were out of stock everywhere. Now Amazon has the same card for $550! It's a pretty looking card, cools great, clocked at 2.0Ghz out the box. I have it driving 2 Ultrawides and a 24" in portrait mode. Looks super.

I bought it from this page using third party seller option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCAVSIO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Holy crap, I love this :D

I would choose the HTC Vive, and while we are at it my GTX 760 would not handle that - so i would like a GTX 1080 (and maybe 16 Gigs of RAM)!

Edit: Fuck this, my CPU is too weak also - and being on an 1156 socket, i need a new mother board as well... Time to pick together a PC!

Edit again: well, that escalated quite a bit...

...do I need a 4K Screen, too?

I was going to get a:
Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 8GB AMP! Extreme Video Card for £659

But today I see a
MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8 GB GDDR5X 2560 Core VR Ready Graphics Card with Twin Frozr VI Plus RGB LEDs - Black
for £327.00

Why would there be such a big price difference?

This GTX 1080, used.

The amazon link in my post is for the Zotac AMP extreme.

If you're after the Zotac AMP, the link for that is here.

The best and fastest gtx 1080 is the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme. If you have the cash buy this one, its the most overclocked version.

Heres the link: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-ZT-P10800B-10P-Wraparound-Dual-blade-PowerBoost/dp/B01GCAVSIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468250229&sr=8-1&keywords=zotac+gtx+1080

at the moment i'm using the zotac AMP extreme. but when VEGA come out i'll be switching over to that. if you can't wait for VEGA the zotac AMP extreme has destroyed any game i put in front of it. or if you can wait but you really like nvidia you could buy the 1080ti. hope this helps you

Extreme.
