I think I will wait a bit more for some other implementations to arrive (other than the founders)...

Yeah I'm not looking at a FE, but the https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG ... 1G-GAMING/
From a review it runs cooler, quieter and when temps go below 55c the fans shut off completely.
The extra hdmi port is good, I can keep the vive plugged in for instance.
And I quite like the case fan control points that are matched to the gpu fan controller.
So I can install a case side fan (something I need for the 980ti to get decent cooling) and it will stop running or ramp up as the gpu needs more air.
I am drooling over the Asus too, also to accompany it with an Asus Z2170 mobo an i7-7700 and 32gigs...
But for now I will stick just to replace the 980Ti. If my older son decide to play Elite I will give him my current rig (Z97 i7-4790) and get the upgrade.

When not running ED it settles down to 54C.
This one is available where I live but I am afraid to go for it as I am running on a 4K monitor and the current MSI Lightning 980Ti starts screaming (ok the fans do) as soon as Elite loads
