Just to update, I pulled the trigger on a GTX 1070 TI recommended by Scan which was good value and priced (£535) nearer a straight 1070. It's spec is not far off a straight 1080.
Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Ti DUAL 8GB GDDR5 VR Ready Graphics Card, 2432 Core, 1607MHz GPU, 1683MHz Boost
Really unfortunate timing for me to blow up my card just now as the prices have gone way up and supplies run thin due to Bitcoin mining apparently.
Interestingly Scan also said to try increasing the VRAM voltage as that might solve the problem, but I was not sure how to do that and wasn't comfortable that if it was a fix, it would last. Also, didn't want to lose a good excuse to upgrade!
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
