My 1080 TI arrived… Tomorrow I will switch the 980 with this one, if it fits. It’s huge!
What’s the best procedure here?
Just set the existing card up as a generic vid card, and swap ‘em?
Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to clean it out, and then swap ‘em?
I had some weird issues when I went from a 780 to a 1070 so I’d suggest you use DDU then swap.
I went from a 970 to a 1070 and just swapped 'em. But I am lazy 
Just small hand 
Yip. Not a bad thing to do. Start simple.
EDIT: I also offer as a volunteer to dispose of the old 980 for you. And listen this… FREE OF CHARGE! I’d even pay shipping. Uh? What a great guy I am! 
Dangit, I was going to volunteer as tribute.
Oh. No. You. Did. Not…! 
I took old card a 970 out and plonked the 1080 in. I got the latest drivers and away you go. Windows 10 seems a lot more forgiving than previous Windows where drivers and stuff are concerned Enjoy cranking those settings up and you realise you need more CPU power to get the best out of your new beast 
Next step…
Well…whats it like? Its tomorrow already!!!
Got called out on a flight…!
I’m on the phone with our union guys. We need to update the contract. No flying when new hardware or software is available.
Tell em we have the 2.5 changelog and you will resume negotiations on Friday
WOOOOHOOOOOO!!! 
This thing rocks!
I have only done a few testflights in IL-2 and DCS.
I haven’t played with any settings, but same scenarios with the 1080TI shows a substantial improvement. Where I usually get 90 FPS with ASW kicking in almost 50% of the time, there was a solid 90 all the time now. Even in DCS:Normandy and in DCS:NTTR with mirrors on.
As I need to earn money to pay for my toys, I’m now leaving on a 4 day run. Back on Friday evening…
So, you guys have fun in 2.5 now. 
Safe trip, I may have my download complete on your return
Glad about the card 
I am so thinking of doing the same - switching out a two year old 980Ti for a 1080Ti. But my mid-sized case is limited to the shorter GPUs that are ~10.5" long.
I can’t believe the 1080 I bought a year ago for $800 is now $1300??

Sell it!
LOL…and go without gaming for a few weeks or months? NEVER!!
Just imagine the money you could make?! 
I have 7,500 watts of solar array on the roof of my house. I should be mining (apparently)…
